What the story is about
Ravi is a headstrong young man who, after a chance meeting with the businessman Viswanatham, gets the opportunity to go to Switzerland as general manager of his business. There he meets Anjali and falls in love, but circumstances separate them before anything is settled. Back in India, Ravi rises to head Viswanatham’s entire business, and the rest of the film follows the problems he faces at work and his search to find Anjali again.

Music and making
Devi Sri Prasad composed the soundtrack, released by Aditya Music, though the song “Shakeela” was composed by Deva. The songs were filmed in Araku, Germany and Austria, and Sameer Reddy was the cinematographer.
Reception
Critics were lukewarm. Jeevi of Idlebrain.com called it “an average fare”. Sify called it insipid, with Devi Sri Prasad’s music and Sameer Reddy’s camerawork its only saving graces. Andhra Today felt the newcomer director wasted a good story with a slow first half, though the second half, as Ravi and Anjali search for each other, made up for it. Idlebrain.com’s review of the first half of 2002 counted the film a moderate success. We have found no collection figures.
