Story: Prem Kumar (Santosh Soban) and Netra (Rashi Singh) are on the verge of marriage, when an unexpected twist comes. Roshan (Krishna Chaitanya) arrives at the wedding venue, stopping the ceremony as he declares his love for Netra. Prem's pursuit of marriage takes an unfortunate turn, leading him to establish a unique intelligence agency focused on ending his relationship with his friend Lingam (Krishna Teja). As the agency thrives, Netra's return ushers in new complications. Will love ever find marital bliss?
Review: Santosh Soban, known for his acting skills and impeccable comedic timing, stars in yet another romantic comedy-drama aiming for success. However, directed by Abhishek Maharshi and featuring a cast including Rashi Singh, Krishna Chaitanya, Ruchita Sadineni, Krishna Teja, Prabhavathi, Sudarshan and Harsh Chemudu, the film needed better writing and screenplay.
The film begins with a promising premise: the two lovers reunite just as the bride is about to marry another. As the narrative unfolds, it shifts its focus to Love's perspective, highlighting her emotional upheaval. Unfortunately, the first half of the film struggles to convey emotion and comedic brilliance effectively. The latter half gains momentum with the introduction of Prem's detective agency and the entry of Angana (Ruchita Sadineni), adding the much-needed intrigue to the plot.
Santosh Soban's portrayal of Prem Kumar stands out as the highlight of the film, enhancing the overall experience. Rashi Singh delivers a satisfying performance as the heroine, while Sudarshan's portrayal of Daddy and Krishna Teja's portrayal of Lingam inject humor at times, making the sporadic moments entertaining. The film's music, composed by Ananth Srikar, contributes to its appeal, especially in the latter half. Nevertheless, room for improvement exists in terms of production value and technical execution.
Overall, Prem Kumar, the film comes across as a mild entertainer with untapped potential. Santosh Soban's admirable performance and wry humor save the viewing experience, yet the film's writing and editing flaws prevent it from achieving greatness.
