EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: *1/2
Actor Nikhil Siddhartha started his career with a bang by being part of a
trend-setting film Happy Days, which was directed by Shekhar
Khammula, but later, he could not get a good script to consolidate his career.
Disco was expected give his career a lift but it seems he may have
to wait for some more time, as it ends up to be a torturous film for the
viewers.
Disco is a spoof on Puri Jagannadh`s recent film
Businessman, where comedy actor M.S.Narayana imitates the charming
hero Mahesh Babu in a fairly good manner, but that is all that brightens up the
screens from the silly comedy sequences of the film.
Disco is an orphan, who is hanging out with three of his friends. He meets
Shiney on Valentine`s Day and falls for her. Then to find her, he decides to fly
to Bangkok along with his friends, where he lands up in an island belonging to
local don Ashu Bhai.
Disco meets Shiney, who is the daughter of Ashu. In the quest to confess his
love, Disco learns that Shiney is in love with her classmate. Things take a turn
and Disco tries to get Shiney closer to her lover, but in the process the girl
changes her decision to be in love with her friend. How Disco wins the heart of
Shiney forms the remaining part of the film.
Despite having a bevy of comedians in the cast, the film fails to bring cheer to
the viewers because the sequences are too long. Besides the unimaginative
direction of Hari Chanduri, the film also suffers from poor technical values and
inept characterisation.
Newcomer Sara Sharma looks much older than the film`s hero Nikhil Sidhartha. She
oozes glamour in the film, but as a performer fails to make an impact.
It can be easily construed that both the film director and story writer were
either short of ideas or didn`t know how to take the story forward.
Except for some humorous dialogues of Sathish, there is not even one point,
which can be described as good.
Nikhil shows improvement in his performance compared to his previous nondescript
films. He has tried to do justice to his role, but the script thoroughly fails
him.
M.S.Narayana is good in his role which is a take off from Surya Bhai of
Businessman. Ashish Vidyarthi is becoming too stereotyped these
days. Comedians Raghu Babu and Ali have also given average performance.
