True. Errababu (Sivaji) is still in Inter class for
the last five years and picked up a few English words
to coin mini sentences. He is the only person in that
area knowing at least this much of English. In ‘love’
he is graduate, he can lecture on what love means.
Lovers can sacrifice their parents who gave birth to
them and brought them up to this level of acquiring
ability to fall in love with another person and
sacrifice the parents for his or her love sake. All
these points are part of this subject too. Like in
most of the themes, here too the villain is girl’s
father. Sivaji and new face Roma play lovers, while
Nagababu plays the girl’s father, Chakravarthi.
It is London based drama, that attracts us more,
where we see song, dance, fight and sentiment, played
up. The first half of the film spends its time to
build love between an NRI girl and a village boy
Errababu. He is called Errababu because of his fair
skin. How love sprouts has always been an enigma. In
this case it is the girl who arrives at the village
and goes to her parental home where her grandfather
(Satyanarayana) lives. This old man introduces
Errababu to his granddaughter. The fact that
Errababu is an orphan appears to move her a bit. He
lives with his Uncle (Ahuti Prasad). Even before she
came to India, she had undergone a traumatic situation
in London. Her father Chakavarti (Nagababu) fixed her
marriage with one Vikram, son of a millionaire
(Viajaychander) there, hoping to bag some shares in
that man’s industrial enterprises. Vikram who arrives
from USA takes the girl out on sight seeing and forces
her to have affair with him, as ‘you are anyway be my
wife’. That jolts her. And here in the village,
Errababu provides a big contrast and exhibits large
heart. She is in love with him and narrates her past
to him.
Now she goes back to London and asks her father to
get her married to Errababu at their village. It is
now the question of her marriage with Errababu or is
the question of Chakravarthi keeping business
relations with the Millionaire. Chakravarthi prefers
to sacrifice Errababu and get his daughter married to
the tycoon’s son. Chakravarthi calls Errababu to
London and gets him beaten there severely, while
promising his daughter that he would get her married
to her choice man. The moment she come to know
Errababu is in London and is being subjected to
torture, her priorities change. Errababu is
everything for her now. How they get back to India and
how Chakravarthi learns his lesson forms the rest of
the story.
Projecting this slender bodied Sivaji as super
combatant, just at the chanting of his lover’s name,
is ridiculous. New girl Roma is quite short but quite
active and has histrionic talent. Sivaji suits the
love part. But he fails in action drama. Ahuti Prasad,
for a change, is given a gentlemanly role and is quiet
throughout the film. Satyanarayana’s performance suits
grandpa’s role. Nagababu in his performance appears
that he does not like the role he plays in this film.
Music by Koti is interesting.
