It's a drag.

Warning: Spoilers
After the box-office success of Pavithra Bandam and Pellichesukundam, Gita Chitra International seems to have got a fancy for dishing out flicks with intertesting storylines. This time, it is Srimathi Vellostha - the storyline of which hinges on postmarital love between husband and wife. This plotline is as old as missamma, except that it is inversed here. Though Bhoopathi Raja's story experiments with a new formula, the treatment meted out to it is what leaves you irritated and fails to impress.

The movie starts on a familiar note, with the hero and the heroine falling in love after a few witty exchanges as any masala movie. Ravi (Jagapati Babu) who comes to the village to attend his friend's wedding falls in love with city-bred Madhu (Poonam). But his father comes in the way and coerces him to marry his friend's daughter Kanchana (Devyani). Meanwhile, Kanchana has her own sobbing love story. She's in love with an unemployed youth Rajendra (Prithvi). This invites her father's wrath and so they are separated.

After marriage, Ravi and Kanchana realise that they cannot live together with broken hearts. They decide to get back to their lovers and hence apply for a divorce. But their "lover-swapping" plans fail for even the court quashes their plea. If you are still interested in knowing what ensues, watch the movie.

Inspite of the presence of a battery of comedians, there's nothing much to look forward to. Koti's musical score is disappointing. The choreography is even worse. Dialogues by MVS Haranath Rao lack that extra punch. On the whole, the movie is a drag.
