Jai Chiranjeeva
-Review
The film makers have to learn one big lesson- it is not enough to simply cast a superstar in a film to ensure its box office success. You need to come up with a perfect script and a plausible storyline too. Chiranjeevi has come up with another good performance- songs, dance and action sequences. But the screenplay simply leaves so many big holes that a dozen elephants could leisurely walk through it, side by side.
Here’s the story-
Sathyanarayana Murthy is a rich landlord with a score to settle.
Villain, Pasupathy had mercilessly killed his eight-year-old niece when he ‘test-fires’ his gun. Pasupathy lives in the US and is a notorious arms dealer.
The niece manages to say the truth to the doctor who was operating on her. The doctor passes the information on to Sathyanarayana Murthy. When the villain’s henchmen come to know about it, they kill the doctor. Sathyanarayana Murthy comes to Hyderabad in his search for the villain. In Hyderabad, he stays with his friend and falls in love with the next-door-neighbor, Shailaja. He then tells her his story.
Meanwhile, the daughter of the slain doctor, Neelima, comes to India from the US for a vacation. She is a student in the US. Sathyanarayana gets in touch with her and explains the story. She agrees to help him so she could avenge her father’s death. The two decide to pretend to be man and wife and go to the US in search of the arms-dealing villain.
