Evaraina Eppudaina has all the signs of becoming Varun Sandesh�s third successive hit after Happy Days & Kotha Bangaru Lokam. Like his earlier movies, it has the right ingredients of a decent storyline with enough twists, good clean comedy, catchy songs and the tried test love-story as the base. This movie will definitely appeal to the college crowd while also pulling in the family audiences.

What is it about : Venkat (Varun) is introduced as a self-centered, street-smart youngster who believes in �living for himself�. This philosophy changes as soon as he sets his eyes on Madhu (Vimla Raman) who is quite mature as a philanthropist who runs an old-age home. Varun woos her with total enthusiasm resulting in a lot of comic situations. Soon, due to his misunderstanding of a situation concerning Madhu�s sister, he ends up creating a conflict within Madhu�s family. The second half of the movie is all about trying to set things right while trying to win Madhu�s heart and also set right the villains who have their eyes on the old-age home land. In a slightly overdrawn and overdue climax, everything falls into place with everyone living happily ever after.

What is Good: The best part of the film is the high entertainment value it provides. The first half is quite fast-paced with Varun providing quite a few laughs with his one-liners and comic acts. The film belongs to him and he pulls it through with his enthusiasm. He is well-supported by the rest of the cast including Vimla and Ali. The songs are pleasant and well-paced across the film while the fight scenes are kept at a minimum. The comedy is clean without resorting to double meaning dialogues.

What is bad: If the last 30 minutes in the movie had been trimmed and the loose ends tied up quicker, it would have helped since the audience got a bit restless at that point. The lead pair seemed mismatched with Vimla looking much older in contrast to Varun�s boyish looks. The villainous sub-plot seemed forced into the script with Kota Srinivas Rao getting wasted in an ill-sketched role.

Me Thinks: Evaraina Eppudaina will definitely click with the audiences since it is a good timepass flick that will appeal across diverse audiences.

Tailpiece: Watching the scrawny Varun single-handedly beating up a bunch of rowdies is hilarious esp. when he sends them flying across the room with his punches & kicks. He definitely needs a lot of muscles before his next release if he wants to look convincing!!!
