despite much await and expectation , paurnami fails to impress like prabhu deva's earlier flick . the music,to start , is not at all catchy for movie whose main theme revolves around music and dance. very predictable scenes make the movie even more awful to watch. the only catchy thing about the movie is the sets.
Another periodic film set in 1963. A youngster raised in faction feuds wants to get out of it for his love and to fulfill her death wish.
The film starts off with Shivkeshav (Prabhas) stepping into the house of Chandralekha (Charmi) as tenant. Chandralekha hates the idea of her stepmother letting off the house for rent as the room belongs to her sister Pournami. Everyone believes that Pournami eloped with her lover. Meanwhile, Shivkeshav starts a rock and roll dance school. He asks Chandralekha to take up dancing as the profession as her sister did. When he rescues her from the lusty Jamindar (Rahul Deva) she falls in love with him and takes up dancing.
Still from Pournami Enters Shivkeshav's fiancée (Sindhu Tolani) on to the scene. He is forced to reveal his past. Shivkeshav is born into a faction feud family. The family's rival group kills off his brother in a shootout. Then his father asks him to take revenge. He then kills off the rival family's elder son. Meanwhile, he falls in love with the circus girl Pournami (Trisha) who comes to his village. She is none other than the girl who ran away from her home as the Zamindar had cast eyes her on. On one hand their love thickens, the rival group is on mission to alienate him. One day they kill Pournami thinking that she is Shivakeshav. Her only death wish is to make her sister Chandralekha a dancer. How accomplishes her wish is the rest of the film.
On the whole, the film may not go well with the fans of Prabhas. And in rural and semi-urban areas, it might not work. The film can only attract a segment of A-center audiences but even that too is doubtful given its second half that moves at snail pace.
