Review : Romance - atrocious all the way

What is propagated as the cinema that is not on the similar lines of 'Ee Rojullo' and 'Bus Stop', it isn't it! It is an atrocious, outrageous, and brutal attack on the senses of audience. More adjectives are the need to describe how gibberish it is.

This film which goes with a tagline ' Everybody needs it- is not the worth of half a second because at the end of the day, it is bound to give Romance a very different meaning ' a meaning which would kill the very essence of the beautiful feeling.

Welcome to the world of Maruthi where every college going guy who has a girl friend looks for sex. The girls on the other hand, speak about using their boyfriends for pickups, shopping and recharging and to some extent, 'making out with them'.

Well, the ones who are not meeting the requirements are the lead protagonists of course, the age-old norm of south film making!

Krishna (Prince) is on the search of a girl who is chaste and he has tricks up his sleeve to test whether she is one or not! He encounters Lalitha (Manasa), the new entrant to the college and the one who fits his scheme of things.

While she meets all his tests, she fails to succumb to his moves which are aimed to bring her into his bed. Eventually they break up.

Strange, considering that director Swamy presents them as the 'one' who are in neck deep love but one wrong step, they end up splitting without sitting down to have a talk.

Krishna's trail begins all again, much to the dismay of the restless viewers. Accidentally (in fact through an accident), he bumps into Anuradha (Dimple Chopade).

The duo hit off after a shaky first meeting. Anu, who is yearning for love as she is orphaned at an early age, falls for him. He too realises that she is 'one' that God has sent for him. While everything appears to be smooth, Lalitha makes a return only to tell Anu that he has slept with her.

As Anu fails to get over him, her hostel friends device a plan which ensures that he remains in the ladies hostel for a week. Their motto is to test whether he is sincere towards Anu or not? While a large chunk of the latter half prevails at this spot, Lalitha discovers what's happening. What next?

This is nothing short of sleaze fest- Anu's friend figuring out whether Lalitha slept with him, by monitoring her walk, the sequence where girls point out that the guys only desire sex from girls, the sequence where a set of girls who fall for Krishna's prince-charming looks demand that he stays with them in the hostel, the sequence where Anu's friends try to seduce Krishna, in the pretext of their ceiling fan not working, the sequences where friends exhibit to Anu on how to make the first romantic move and many more exemplify it.

If there's one sequence which stands out, then it should be the one where Krishna imagines the Mukesh story- the issued in the public interest ad of smoking before a film begins.

Of the cast, while Prince and Dimple try their best, Manasa and group of friends can visit acting tuitions. 'Ee Rojullo' Sai puts his best forward and succeeds in inducing laughter at occasions, with double-meaning innuendos.

This a 'Romance' which is made in poor taste and ends up as messy sex-comedy. Complete bunkum. A film that makes you squirm from the word go.
