'Siddu from Sikakulam' is directed by Eshwar. The film casts Naresh, Manjari Padhnis in the
lead. It is prodused by Malla Vijay Prasad. Music is scored by K.M.Radhakrishnan and
released on Wellfare Creations.
As expected the film revolves around Naresh and his so called love story, but is narrated in a
different way. The comedy touch to the film is well garnished to make it a pleasantry film and the
romance and sentiment are sprinkled on it. The glam doll Manjari is well depicted in the film and
Shraddha Das is like a breezer to the mass audience.
The film starts with the gimmicks of hero Siddharth (Naresh) who tries to impress the heroine
Sailaja (Manjari). Siddu falls in love on the first sight of the heroine and so is always busy
planning the next trick to astonish the heroine in every possible way.
At last impressed by his innocent tricks and charms, Sailaja falls in love with Siddu. But
unfortunately Sailaja\rquote s father is a factionist by nature which is the character played by
Jayaprakash Reddy. His character name is Obul Reddy. He to conquer the whole faction region
in Kurnool joins hands with another long time rival and in returns promises to marry his daughter
Sailaja to the other factionists\rquote son. The other factionist\rquote s character name is
Bhooma Reddy (Ganga Raju).
Siddu discovers the truth that his beloved Sailaja is a daughter of a dreaded factionist and back
off from his love in order to save his family and their lives.
Sailaja on knowing this, challenges with Naresh that, if he accompanies her to her village and
stays in their house till the marriage ceremony is completed then she will forget him forever. She
also challenges that he cannot suppress his love towards her and will definitely obstruct the
marriage.
Siddu aggress to the condition and makes a move to Sailaja\rquote s hometown. There he is
seduced by another hot beauty Nisha (Sharddha Das).
The rest of the story is about Naresh going to the home town of Sailaja and how he wins back
his love. Sharddha Das in the meantime, falls in love with Naresh.
What happens next is a suspense which must be watched on the big silver screen.
Performance:
Naresh does his job pretty well. He is getting day by day labeled as a versatile artist of
tollywood. His role to be serious through out the film makes the audience laugh to a major extent.
Manjari\rquote plays her role of Sailaja very well. She looks pretty in salwar suits and also as a
eye candy in glam doll costumes.
Shraddha Das is limited as a glam doll in a brief role. Her costumes in this film are hot and
sizzling. Adding to this her well bosom and thighs make the mass audience drool over her
beauty.
The comedy Track is lead by Dharmavarapu and Ms Narayana with the support of Venu
Madhav.
Jayaprakash reddy plays his character role of Obul Reddy very well. He is almost a fixed artist
for all factionist roles in tollywood.
The dialect in which the title is pronounced matches accordingly with the dialect of Amalapuram,
bheemavaram and all norths Andhra districts.
The music in the film is above average, but lacks some catchy tunes. The direction department
is average and the script of the film is predictable and slowly paced. The director must have
concentrated on the script more than the characters.
Last word:
On the whole the movie will run for only 3 weeks time. And more than that will depend on the
external aspects such as EVV and his prevalence.
