After the disastrous "Chukallo Chandrudu" young Telugu star Siddharth bounces back with a feel-good entertainer "Bommarillu".
The actor regains his lover-boy image with his performance as a youth rebelling against a possessive father. Siddharth's final confrontation with his lovable but smothering father is his best scene so far.
Pretty Genelia delivers another knockout performance as an innocent girl. She excels in scenes where her character tries to work out friendly equations with the members of her would-be husband's family.
Prakash Raj, as Siddharth's father, gives a predictably good account of himself.
Once again Sunil proves a competent comedian while Kota, Jayasudha and Satya Krishna live up to their roles.
Debutant director Bhaskar, weaving the film around an interesting plot, shows a conspicuous flair for comedy.
Cinematographer Vijay provides a visually pleasing film, while composer Devisri Prasad moves back into the reckoning with lively songs.
Distributor-turned-producer Raju, known for hits like "Dil" and "Arya", again introduces a promising director with a solid script.
