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.
