Story

Gopalakrishna (Ajay) who missed his teenage crush with females as he got married to Bhavani (Indraja), always tries to enjoy teenage love flirting with various girls even after he became father of two children of whom one is Madhu (Naga Shourya), first year engineering student at Chaitanya Bharati Engineering College. 

Gopalakrishna moves closely with Samhita (Sana Maqbool), after knowing that she defaulted her loan. He goes out of his way to help this 20 year old beauty. At that same time Madhu comes into contact with Samhita who helps him overcome his shyness and also take part in dance competition.

When Madhu decides to propose his love to Samhita he comes to know that his dad is making overtures to her even getting ready to marry her putting his family at stake. How Madhu solves these problems should be found out on silver screen.

Performance

Ajay did well as a middle aged person who craves for comforts from women flirting with them. Naga Shourya showed his expressions quite well while Sana Maqbool, Miss India beauty made good impression on debut. She oozed with glamour and even her performance is ok.

Indraja in her comeback film looked good. Brahmaji, Ali, Posani and others played according to the script.

Technical

Keravani's music and background score is soothing. Amarnath Reddy's cinematography is good. Editing could have been better. Dialogues are ok. Production values are of high standard.

Director Trikoti though came with novel story did not think of having mass elements which are essential for film's success. Had he increased the pace little bit and also added some scenes between young stars, things would have been different.

Plus Points

Novel plot

Sana Maqbool's beauty

Ajay, Naga Shourya's performances

Keeravani's music

Minus Points

Slow pace

Lack of romance between Naga Shourya and Sana Khan

Lack of commercial elements

Songs placement

Analysis

Trikoti tried to touch extra marital relationship of another kind and highlighted the trauma of a son who comes to know that his dad is trying to marry the girl whom he is in love with. This is something new in Tollywood and when the plot is revealed many wondered whether it will appeal to movie lovers. 

However Trikoti emerged successful in showing them in a decent manner. He extracted good performances from all stars and narrated the story with conviction. 

However slow pace, songs placement and lack of youthful elements undid the film. He failed to understand that people wish to see more of youthful romance than middle aged romance. He did not establish the relation between Ajay and Indraja and also did not highlight the budding romance between Naga Shourya and Sana Khan. 

Final Talk

Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya has limited appeal.
