The Times of India, TNN, Updated: May 16, 2016, 10.57 AM ISTCritic's Rating: 2.0Story: The subject is old. There is nothing the movie offers youngsters from the entertainment point of view. After watching the movie, one wonders what made director RK Nayak select the story, which is not unfamiliar to the audience here.
Movie Review: But for Naveen Krishna, who has carried the story forward with his brilliant mannerisms and dialogue delivery, there is no justification in directing such a movie.
The story revolves around Chethan (Naveen Krishna) who forms a team of youths with progressive ideas, called SOS. With the motto, ‘Keep ever, hurt never’, the hero begins his mission by chalking out a plan to make the best use of waste flowers to earn money and succeeds too.
Later, he develops an SOS database and helps the common man, especially farmers, buy computers at an affordable rate of Rs 2,500. With his team of youths, he decides to take on corruption, terrorists, underworld dons, ministers and seers. How does he do it? Though the idea of the story is to instill patriotism among the youth, it’s just old wine in a new bottle.
While Shanthala has done a neat job, Avinash is impressive. Music by Srisuman and camera by Jaianand is average.
