One of those little gems that'll come and go virtually unnoticed due a lack of big names and publicity. But considering the quality of the other movies on screens, this one deserves to do a lot better.

Balu(Pavan Kalyan, telugu superstar Chiranjeevi's younger brother) is the good-for-nothing(academically) son in a big family consisting of his parents, two elder brothers, an uncle(Nagesh) and a cousin sister. 'Cos of this, he is constantly at the receiving end of his father's scoldings. But he is a man with a good heart otherwise, helping his friend get married and saving a little girl from danger.

He runs into Anu(Keerti Reddy) and its love at first sight. Anu, born and brought up in the US, is on vacation and awaiting an admission to Harvard for her Ph.D. He tries to learn about her and meet her but in vain. But she sees him doing a good deed one day and knows who he is.

On a trip to Ooty, Balu saves Anu and is badly hurt in the process. This brings Anu closer to him and they become good friends. Balu refrains from disclosing his love for her because of this. Anu finally gains admission to Harvard and prepares to leave to the US leading to the climax.

Sure its old wine in a new bottle(the movie reminds you of both Aahaa and the more recent Ninaivirukkum Varai) but its really good wine! Extremely interesting situations have been fashioned making the movi flow smoothly from beginning to end. Dialogs are sharp and frequently funny and the climax elevates the movie another notch.

Pavan Kalyan has a lot of ground to cover if he hopes to achieve the kind of success his brother has seen. But it's definitely a good start. He emotes, dances and fights well. Can't say the same about Keerti Reddy though. The pretty face shows absolutely no emotions of any kind. But the star of the show is neither. That title belongs to the girl who plays Balu's cousin sister. She is natural, full of vigor, has just the right amount of perkiness without being irritating and shines in the emotional scenes too. Deva disappoints with the songs but most of them have been picturised well.

This mazhai is well worth getting wet in.
