Synopsis

Krishna (Prince) is an engineering student in search of a virgin girl friend to fall in love with. He zeroes in on two potential contenders - Lalitha (Manasa) and Anuradha (Dimple) - and begins to woo them. The plan is simple - to select the "purest" among the two. But things don't quite go to plan and Krishna's purity itself becomes a subject of scrutiny.

Critic's Review

Every gag - there are a lot of them - in the movie has a leering sexual overtone to it. Worse, the jokes aren't even funny. So what we are left with is two hours and 23 minutes of unadulterated sexist wisecracks gone horribly wrong. Sample a few of them to figure out for yourself.
Ila CD's exchange chesukunte CPU jam ayyi system fail avuthundi...(if you exchange cd's with gay abandon, the CPU will get jammed and the system will crash) bemoans Krishna to his friends. The CD being an acronym for "cut-drawer" - Telugu slang for underwear. Ee rojullo oka ammayi mana kosame puttadamante emito telusa, aa ammayi entha mandi tho thirigina, chivariki mana deggariki vasthadi ani...(These days when they say a girl of born just for you, it implies no matter how many boys she goes around with, she will eventually return for you), exhorts a friend on learning about Krishna's dream of finding a "virgin girl friend."
Well Krishna's intentions are noble though. A self declared one woman man, he believes that for love to be truly magnificent, romantic indulgences like first touch, first kiss, first hug etc., must be a first for both the guy and the girl! How romantic is that? However, he doesn't mind wooing two girls with the sole intention of establishing their virginity beyond doubt, so as to profess undying love for the right girl.
In comes Lalitha, a seemingly virtuous college girl. Krishna manages to woo her in less than a week but is disappointed top find out when she gleefully reciprocates to his first proposition. He duly breaks up with her and moves on to Anuradha, who is also looking for a virgin boyfriend. When Anuradha slaps him for trying to proposition her, Krishna is ecstatic at having found the right one. But Anuradha is deeply hurt and dumps him on learning abut his plan. So to prove his sincerity, our man has to spend a whole week in a ladies hostel and resisting overtures from every girl in the hostel.
Everything else about the movie is just as adolescent. Talking about performances, well there aren't any. The music is inept, as is the editing and cinematography. To call it a stupid film will be putting it kindly. The pitiable part being for all the sex talk there's no gratuitous sex on offer either. Not only is the movie plain silly, it doesn't even titillate.
