Dosti

It's a good story selected by director V Anand, but he stretches it with unnecessary sequences, making it more boring than educative. It deals with how a college fails to respect the sentiments of a poor student who cannot pay the exam fee, and loses his life when he falls off a building, and how four students take revenge. Perhaps, with a better script and lively narration, the director could have handled the story effectively, confining it to a crisp two hours.
The story revolves around the death of Ravi, a poor student of KK Engineering College, run by KK (Lakshman), an MLA. Ravi falls off a building and dies, after he fails to pay the examination fee and write the VTU exam. Later, we learn that Ravi did not commit suicide, but was pushed to death by KK's goons. Four students -- Prithvi, Surya, Shashi and Vathapi -- who come to know of this, decide to take revenge on the MLA. It's a tough task for them, but they try their best. How do they do it?
There's also a romantic track in the story, with Prithvi and Surya falling in love with Megha (Niharika Mallya). Who does she choose? Prithvi and Surya have done justice to their roles. Niharika is impressive. Music by Nagendrakumar has a couple of catchy tunes. SK Rao's cinematography is good.
