Ashta Chamma story is pretty simple, but the way it was narrated is really excellent. The story, screenplay and the dialogues are amusing and the star cast looks great in the film. The comedy is quite entertaining.
Story:
The story is about Lavanya (Swathi) a youthful and bubbly girl who only has one mission in life to marry the prince Mahesh Babu. Lavanya is madly in love with him and cannot think of anyone else. she gets disappointed when she come to know that Mahesh has been married to Namratha. Due to this, her aunt (Jhansi) several attempts to get Lavanya married to an NRI keep failing and after a lot of persuasion the pretty girl agrees. However, she puts in a condition that the name of the groom must be Mahesh which is yet another problem. In an effort to get rid of Lavanya, Anand(guy next door) goes in search of a person with the name Mahesh and finally chances upon a guy with the same name (Nani) who works in a pub. After many difficulties,he make both of them fall in love, however things get interesting when it is known that Mahesh's actual name is Rambabu and on the other hand Anand falls in love with Varalakshmi (Bhargavi), sister of Rambabu who hails from the village Lakkavaram. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Swathi is the main highlight of the movie. She acts realistically and her acting skills are well exposed in each and every frame. Her dialogue delivery is well exhibited.
Nani has lived his character very well. But still he lacks the charm to attract the girl crowds.
Sreenivas gave his 100% to the film. But his character was brief and was justifiable.
Bhargavi, who plays the lady love of Sreenivas,is ok.
Direction is pretty good indeed.Indraganti succeded in explaining a simple story in an appealing way.
Final Note:
The film will definitely appeal to the multiplex and metro audience but there is not much for the mass except the 'Mahesh' factor. Commercially, it will rake in good money and have chances to become decent hit at boxoffice.
