Payana...., Success behind: Review

“Famous in surgery n’ burgery”, seems heard some where, yes you are absolutely right, this famous dialogue is from the serial. Ravishankar as a serial actor have got famous in each and every people’s mind, he too has got in big screen.
Payana is a simple story of a taxi-driver Ravi(Ravishankar) who believes in dream, and he should marry to a girl of his dream. While he is doing his work he finds Kaveri(Ramanithu Chaudary)an NRI, who fixes Ravi as her guide to show the important place in the State. While in the route he believes that Kaveri is his dream-girl, she comes to know slowly. Few songs helps Ravi to show his love to Kaveri. Does she loves him or not is the climax.
Debutant director Kiran Govi has impressed the audience by setting a good climax to the film. Script show dome dullness in middle, but can be exempted. Ravishankar as said have done his work neatly, but have to reduce his weight to be a smart hero. Ramanithu Chaudary is quite attractable dream-girl of youths. Others characters Rangayana rAghu, Chitra Shenoy, Sharat Babu, Mandya Ramesh, Bullet Prakash and others are good. Comedy scores marks. Music by Harikrishna is good in two songs, Moodada Olage…. Payana Preethiya Kadege…., Dialogues, Cinematography, are too good.
Don’t miss this Payana to know the value of a dream, if you have such dream’s like said, please don’t miss the movie.
