<p>An eagerly awaited movie, Pravarakyudu, by Madan, is a mixed bag. Taking its title from the character in the poem of legendary Telugu poet Allasani Peddanna, Pravarakyudu, offers a love tale with a twist. <br /><br />While Pravarakyudu impresses in the first half, it meanders post-intermission. This campus caper tracks the destinies of Sashi Kumar (Jagapathi) and Sailaja (Priyamani).<br /><br /> A practical sermoniser Sashi scoffs at Sailaja’s overtures stating it is more physical than pure love. Rebuffed, the two go their ways before the two cross tracks ten years hence. <br /><br />How Sashi, now lecturer and Sailaja, college principal, end up at the marital altar after renewed courtship forms the rest of the story. The lovey-dovey pair of Pellaina Kothalo light up Pravarakyudu with their performances. Priya oozes oomph in song sequences. <br /></p>
