The headstrong young lady Manasa Samyuktha (Suresh) is convinced that she was born to do business and lets everyone around her know this loud and clear. The problem is that all her close and dear ones are deeply appalled by this statement: good girls need an education simply to get a good boyfriend; only bad girls come out of this laxman-rekha.
From the first frame, you know how this will play out. Suresh, excellent at Mahanati, proved he could carry a film on his slim shoulders. But here it’s loaded with a boring story like gutter water, represented more by boring direction, where you can predict every beat in this movie of women are capable of anything from a mile away.
There is a good idea here, but it is wasted with treatment. A tea-loving girl, armed with the easiest MBA degree to get from a San Francisco university without seemingly attending a single class, wants to spread the benefits of Indian chai among coffee-loving Americans. To that end, she has a series of confrontations with various men, all of whom want to force her to submit or carry her into their loving arms. She doesn’t want any of that, of course.
His most fearsome rival, Kailash Shiva Kumar (Babu), is the king of a famous coffee chain. In a more interesting movie, their conflict would have lent some force to the proceedings, but uh-huh, it’s not happening here. Babu, dressed in monochromatic suits and a permanent smile, concocts plans, one dumber than the other, to outwit the rookie, but is shown the error of his ways. A couple of potential suitors are crushed too – again, these potential relationships could have been executed with some flair or wit. What is missing in the whole movie.
