'Saleem' is directed by YVS Chowdary. And he has come up with a rather confusing theme and though the
presentation was alright, the narrative was pathetic.
Story:
Saleem (Vishnu) is an international gangster. He bumps into Sathya (Ileana) in Bangkok, Dubai and
Europe. Saleem is convinced that it is not mere coincidence and that Sathya is made for her. So he
follows her all the way to India. Saleem wins over the hearts of Sathya's family members and starts
wooing her. Sathya fools Saleem by acting as if she too has fallen in love with him. Sathya has been
brought up in Europe as her father does not want her to be killed as he has a rival in Mukesh Rushi.
Mukesh's only aim in life is to destroy the family of Sathya. Saleem learns about the evil designs of
Mukesh Rushi and foils all his plans to harm Sathya and her family. Sathya's father is so impressed
with Saleem that he offers his daughter's hand to him.
While the marriage arrangements are on. Sathya runs way from home. She has eloped with Venkat, a
gangster in Europe. Sathya wants to marry Venkat and live in Europe. Venkat is the younger brother of
Ogirala Jogaiah (Mohan Babu) a dreaded gangster. Saleem arrives in Europe to take Sathya back and
unite her with her family. Saleem is confronted by Ogirala Jogaiah and a defiant Sathya who is about
to marry Venkat. All this forms the rest of the story. And what happens hereafter is to be seen on the
screen.
Performance:
Manchu Vishnu has put in a lot of efforts and he has shown his mettle in dance, stunts and
expressions, however, he still lacks the strength in dialogue delivery and he must work on it. Ileana
is overflowing with glamour and she has fulfilled the desire for the mass audience. Mohan Babu seems
to have made a wrong move by taking up this role, there was quite a bit of sleaziness in it. Kaveri
Jha's character was absolutely objectionable but she has done her job of oozing out glamour in a big
way. Ali could have been better, Napoleon was elegant, Jayaprakash Reddy was standard, Raghubabu was
good. The others didn't have much to offer.
Music:
'Saleem' music is composed by Sandeep Chowta, The movie background score was a major letdown but songs
made up for it.
