Naa Ishtam is a pretty ordinary Rom-Com, you may watch it if you have plenty of time to kill.
Story: Ganesh(Rana) meets Krishnaveni(Genelia), who actually wants to marry Kishore(Harshavardhan). In unexpected circumstances Ganesh falls for her too. The film is all about, she finding her real love.
Story & Screen Play : With such a routine concept screen play should have been much more crispier.
Performances : As Compared to his previous flicks Rana was much better but still just okay. Genelia and Harshavardhan are adequate. Raghu and Ragu Babu are good.
Songs & Background Music : Songs are good on screen and BGM by Chinna is ok.
Direction : Average.
Plus : Music & Characterisations.
Minus : Predictable & Poor 2nd half.
Overall Movie Rating : 2.75 / 5
BoxOffice Verdict ( by ABO ) :
The film was the 1st notable release of this summer. It may end up doing average business at best with big releases scheduled from next 2 weeks. Its all about how well Naa Ishtam performs in the initial 2 weeks.
