souryam is hitherto another flick of hero Gopichand with the usual stuff like violence, action and some romance entrenched in it. The mass element is also lingering in some parts of the movie and the twist is that this time the film has a brother sister tinge added to it. The story of this film can be called as a mixture of Gopichand’s earlier films such as Lakshyam, Ranam and Ontari. But here the hero plays the role of the police officer.
Story
Vijay (Gopichand) and Divya (Poonam Kaur) are orphaned children of a Goon. The children are left with no one to be taken care off as the father meets a traumatizing death. Since, the father of the kids used to harass the normal public they eschew the kids since their father used to harass them.
Since, Vijay is in a position that he cannot feed his younger sister he discovers that a missionary father adopts the orphaned kids and provides them with meals and clothes. So, he decides to lie to the missionary father that Divya happens to be an orphan and gives her to the father of missionary. As a result, Divya misunderstands Vijay and develops a negative feeling about him in her heart.
As time passes in a flash in a typical cinematic style Vijay turns into an honest Assistant Commissioner of Police. This theme of hero becoming an ACP is quite common these days. As if it is like a guy passing out a BA degree. Coming back to the story as a strict and honest police officer Vijay is against the evil deeds in the society. He finds out the cause which happens to be Siva ram Goud. The evil activities of his are totally destroyed and the villain is left penny less with his financial support devastated. So, Siva ram Goud plans to take the revenge on the police cop. He tries to figure out Vijay’s weaknesses and then discovers that he has a sister who was adopted by a Christian missionary around 15 years ago.
Vijay searches for his sister divya and learns that she is studying in Kolkata. Then Vijay traces his sister and her residence in Kolkata and leaves in order to meet her. The villain follows the hero.
Swetha (Anushka) who happens to be a friend of Divya happens to incidentally meet Vijay. In order to please his sister that his deed which he did 15 years back was justifying, Vijay enrolls himself as a student and all of them meet in the college.
Then the romance element, sister sentiment and the villainous acts run equally and in parallel to each other.
The climax of the film is about how Vijay saves his sister from the goons and how he manages to win his sister back along with his love?
Performances
Gopichand plays the role of an honest cop and his body language is well suitable to the character. His razor sharp eyes and his flexible acting skills to bash up the goons are awesome. His acting and action skills need no mentioning. But his dancing skills must be improved a lot.
Anushka’s role is limited and her role is to romance with the hero in the latter half. The sexy and gorgeous lady has once again proved that she has a body which is seductive and sizzling. Her eyes in some scenes intoxicate the audience and her costumes are as usual a factor to heat the male pants in the theatres.
Poonam Kaur who is well known for her glam doll role has done a decent job as a sister. She suits her character aptly as she is young and chirpy.
Manoj K Jayan excels as a villain. His role is well carved and convincing.
Comedy track is lead by Dharmavarapu, Ali, Raghu Babu and Krishna Bhagan. From the comedy pack only few jokes end up tickling the audience.
Mani Sharma Music is average and tow songs are peppy to be danced in the theatres. As usual Anushka’s presence in the songs makes some meaning to them and her gyrations to the dance numbers add spice to the song.
On the whole the director has managed some stuff in the second half of the movie. But Shiva (Director) should have brought the same second half pace in the first half. With Anushka addition to the film, souryam us going to make a 50 day mark in the Andhra regions. With the college season on the peak and the dussera holidays coming down this film may pick up its pace on the weekends.

Ashta Chamma
Cast: Nani, Swathi, Bhargavi, Sreenivas, Hema, Tanikella Bharani, Jhansi and others
Music: Kalyani Malik
Director: Indraganti Mohan Krishna
Producer: Ram Mohan P
Ashta Chamma has nothing much to be narrated, but is seemingly presented with some chirpiest comedy in the background. The story, screenplay and the dialogues are amusing and the star cast looks aptly embedded in the film. The comedy lovers will feel the humor up to the mark and quite entertaining.
Story
Lavanya (Swathi), a young girl is obsessed with actor Mahesh babu and has an aim to marry him. She day dreams to be the bride of the chocolate faced actor and likes to have kids with him. Meanwhile, Lavanya’s aunt (Jhansi) makes many attempts to arrange a marriage alliance for lavanya. But her obsession for the price makes her evade all the marriage proposals and the aunt is fumed with Lavanya’s marriage evasion activities.
But lavanya’s hallucination gets shattered when she discovers the truth, that her dream boy Mahesh Babu is already a married Peron. And his wife happens to be Namratha.
Lavanya is so much disappointed with this news that she becomes depressed. But still continues to love actor Mahesh babu and plays the songs and music from his films.
With this deed the whole neighborhood is havocked and lavanya’s neighbor Anand (sreenivas) is the most effected.
To get rid of Lavanya’s crazy deeds, Anand hatches a plan to hunt for a person who has the name of Mahesh babu. To his fortune a guy named Nani matches his hunting profile. Nani works in a pub and agrees to Anand’s plan. He lures Swathi with his charming talks and deeds and Lavanya falls in love with him.
But the plan turns out into a thud, when Nani’s actual name is discovered to be as Rambabu and not as Mahesh. Meanwhile, another tale of love starts between Anand and Rambabu’s sister Varalakshmi (Bhargavi) who hails from a Andhra Village Lakkavaram.
The rest is the conclusion of the story which has to be watched on the silver screen. However, all ends happily at the end.
Performances
Swathi is the highlight in this movie. She acts realistically and her acting skills are well exposed in each and every frame. The movie basks on her chirpy dialogue delivery which churns out humor.
Nani has lived his character very well. But still he lacks the charm to attract the girl crowds.
Sreenivas gave his 100% to the film. But his character was brief and was justifiable.
Bhargavi, who plays the lady love of Sreenivas, is a TV artist already. So her acting skills and dialogue delivery were impeccable. but her expression were little bit bulky like her figure. She was last seen in ‘Annavaram’ as a side artists. Remember, the scene in which Pawan Kalyan mistakenly scissors the long hair of Bhargavi’s mother instead of her.
On the whole the movie revolves around Swathi and her desire to marry Mahesh. The director made it well from the first to last scene with a comic touch
The movie will live up to 4 weeks at the box office and may even celebrate its 50 day run. More than it is doubtful?
Cast: Nikhil, Meghna Burman, Seetha, Naresh and others
Director: Hari Yeleti
Music: Vinnu Thomas
Ankit, Pallavi & friends is a story about a group of friends, their ambitions, their ways to fulfill their aims and finally the importance of friendship. Though the film concludes at the end by defining friendship, it is done in a well narrated way and so is worth watching. But, if the star cast was little bit better i.e. if at the entire director managed some known faces, the film would have become a big hit.
Story
Ankit (Nikhil) is a youngster who has only one aim and that is to become a star musician. Seeing his ambition very much possible and of high quality, his parents support him in all possible ways to make his dream fulfilled.
Pallavi (Meghna) is girl with a varied thinking attitude from Ankit. She wants to live a life and wants to be financially sound by earning some bucks through her job. She feels that the care free attitude chaps always land up in trouble, where as those youngsters who carefully plan up their future succeed in the future the most. Pallavi is software professional in a big multinational company.
As the film passes, the audiences discover that these two varied minded people are childhood friends. Ankit and Pallavi have three other common friends who have different ambitions.
The first friend has an ambition to become a US citizen. But instead of making a trip to USA, he is seen making regular trips to the US Consulate office for Visa.
The second friend wants to help the needy and wants to take up social service as a profession. And the third one has an ambition to become a big businessman. But he is in a dilemma in choosing the business.
Fortunately, Ankit and Pallavi fall in love with each other. But Pallavi has a problem with Ankit. She is unable to tolerate the lighthearted attitude of her beloved. She reprimands him and advises him to aim his future and career. If Ankit doesn’t leave his go free attitude then Pallavi warns him that he has to loose her and her love.
Ankit finds himself cornered. But here, fate supports him to the most. He bags a music composition for a concert held for an orphanage which is being organized by the world renowned UNICEF. Ankit’s friend, who desires to do social work is recommended and finds a job in the same orphanage which is run by the Seetha. The whole music concert turns into a big hit and Ankit brightens as a celebrity star with the concert. Pallavi’s love ignites to the fullest, but is unable to express it as she feels that Ankit will misinterpret her to be an adherent of success.
But proportionally, Ankit feels that he is missing Pallavi and her love. At this juncture the other three common friends hold a success party and try their best t reunite the lovers.
What happens in the end is a suspense which has to be watched on the silver screen?
At the end, the person who desires to get a US visa finally gets it, but he sacrifices it for his friendship and thinks that it is worthless before their mighty friendship.
Performances
Nikhil has done his role well and his real life attitude is mirrored in the character of the youngster played by him. His dialogue delivery must and should improve a lot.
Meghna suits to her character well. Her pretty and innocent face is well apt to the character of Pallavi.
Seetha and Naresh play their small roles very well. As senior artists their acting skills need no judgment at all.
Pavan, venu, Surya and Pradeep play their roles in a interesting way. They get into the character and give a lively example of a group of friends in real life. The comedy element is well carved and the day to day lives of each and every youngster is well sighted in a funny way.
The film has no tragedy, action and thrilling scenes. But still gives us a soothing experience to the audience. Parents can also get some stuff from this film and this can help them in judging their children’s careers.
The director Hari has embossed the subject into a lively film. But if this film could have managed little bit bigger star cast like the hero and the heroine faces replaced by some known heroes it would have pleased to more audiences.
On the whole this film is a well deserved film to be seen once. The film is sure to last for more than two weeks.
