Kalyan Ram's film Jayeebhava is low on violence when compared to his previous films and high on entertainment values. Story: Bhavani Shanker(Mukesh Rushi) and Narasimha(Jayaprakash Reddy) were good friends. But, Yadu(Ashish Vidhyardhi) succeeds in separting them and now they are arch rivals. Ram(Kalyan Ram) is a young guy persuing his higher studies abroad. Ram happens to meet Anjali(Hansika) in a strange incident. Both of them falls in love. But, they come to know that their fathers were friends once and got separated only because of Yadu, a don now. Ram traps Yadu and sends him to prison. Now he sketches a plan to unite the two friends and there by tie Knot with Anjali. Does they succeed in their job or not forms the rest of the story. Performances: Kalyan Ram: He comes up with a neat performance. His excels in dances and fights. But he suffers from the same problem as all young heroes - dialogue delivery and diction in some scenes. He needs to work on his facial expressions. Hansika: She looks gorgeous in the film. Her impressive histrionics will surely win the hearts of the Telugu film lovers once again. She is definitely an asset to the film. Her costumes in the film were trendy. Ali's comedy track is hilarious. Raghu Babu comedy raises few laughs. Bramhanandam makes sure that his presence is felt. Mukesh Rushi, Jayaprakash Reddy and Ashish Vidhyardhi are Okay. Plus Points: Kalyan Ram's Screen Presence and NTR Arts banner Hansika Songs Second Half Production Values Minus Points: Old fashioned tale Screenplay Climax Technical Department: Cinematography is of top notch. Music of the film is good. Director Naren has succeeded to some extent in handling a light hearted subject. The young director delivers a good entertainer despite choosing a familiar plot. Presentation is effective. Screenplay is adequate. Editing could have been better. Production values of the film are grand. Analysis: Jayeebhava is a light hearted entertainer. The first half of the film is Okay. The second half is entertaining. Predictable scenes are a big setback to this film. Kalyan Ram should be uplauded for his gutsy decision in choosing a debutant to direct this film. Verdict: A complete family entertainer.
