Charming star Srikanth came up with his 101st movie and this was on floors since a long time. Whether it was worth the wait or not, let us see.


Story:

Chandram (Srikanth) is an honest man and a devoted husband to Kalyani (Meera). His life takes a turn when he discovers that Kalyani has a rare disease and he has to get money. A sequence of events compels him to act as husband to Ramya (Sada) who is thought dead. However, Ramya comes back alive and now Chandram is caught between both women. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Srikanth
Srikanth has come up with his performance as usual and he has done these several times before so nothing new from his end. However, his presence on posters after ‘Mahatma’ would add as a crowd puller to the theatre.

Meera Jasmine
She looks cute as usual and will appeal to the lady audience. However, she must try not to come up with western outfits in song sequences and that too figure hugging ones. It just doesn’t go with her.


Sada
She is sexy and makes up for the glamour quotient in a large way. Despite wearing regular outfits, she still has that oomph in her. Performance wise, she did justice to her role.

Others
Tanikella was standard, Sunil gave good laughs, Brahmanandam was okay, Ali was hilarious, Kovai Sarala was loud, Raghu Babu was a bit annoying, Krishna Bhagawan was witty and funny as well, M S was good, the others did as required.

Highlights

* Srikanth and Sada
* Pre-Climax
* Ali and Sunil’s comedy


Disappointments

* Outdated storyline
* Songs
* Brahmanandam comedy track
* Screenplay

Analysis:

The film has got every possible comedian in the Tollywood circuit but then the director has not been able to create a laugh riot out of it. The main drawback was the stale storyline which would have fitted the 80s time.


Also, the title conveys a comedy film but there is a strong dose of sentiment and melodrama which downs the enthusiasm. There is not much depth to the characters due to the weak script and there are not many moments when the audience can connect to the film.

There are few sparks of comedy here and there but overall, the film is not that appealing due to the tasteless flavor of the storyline. Except for Sada’s glamour, Sunil and Ali’s comedy, there is not much one can enjoy in this flick.

A AA... E EE (Athanu, Aame, Inthalo Eeme) Photo Stills

Hero Srikanth, heroine Meera Jasmine and director Srinivasa Reddy are joining hands again for 'A Aa E Ee' (Athanu, Aame, Intalo Eeme) to be produced by Bodham Ashok Yadav on the banner of Sri Kalpana Arts.

It may be mentioned here that the combination was proved a hit with 'Yamagola' (Mallee Modalayindi).The producer made an announcement about the launch of their film at a function held at Raavi Narayana Reddy auditorium.

Director Srinivasa Reddy says, 'My films are becoming hits as I was able to provide good entertainment in a novel way. My forthcoming film 'A Aa E Ee' would have good combination of artistes and technicians. It would have the best story in my career. The film runs with a combination of comedy and sentiment. The film would go to sets from August 8. Srikanth, Sada and Meera are playing the Athadu and Aame. Who is the star for Intalo Eeme is a suspense.'

Writer Gollapati Nageswara Rao says, 'This is my debut story as a film writer. Basically I am from stage drama sector.'

Ali, Tirupati Prakash, writer Aditya, Kavita, Apoorva, fight master Ram, cinematographer Vijay C Kumar and others attended the function.

MM Srilekha is scoring music for the flick.
