There's some comedy here, and Karthi is good at the silently cheeky one-liners. Karthi plays Siva, a happy-go-lucky loaf who woos the utterly air-headed Priya (Kajal Aggarwal). The story, strangely, is made of 2 disjointed parts - it is a simplistic romance in the first half of the flick and a crime thriller in the second. He's less angry street-fighter and more mischievous boy-next-door, and this is part of the charm that Naa Peru Siva offers. Karthi brings to the screen a macho vulnerability not seen nowadays in our leading men. The film, for all its commercial "formula" elements, has a very real quality about it, a quality that Karthi is the person largely responsible for. Naa Peru Siva sure is a hero's flick, in a way that not many hero-oriented movies are. If you're a Telugu movie regular and aren't yet used to watching Surya's brother on screen for extended periods of time, you stand the risk of getting overwhelmed by Karthi's distracting resemblance to Venkatesh.īut wait - that's not the real trick the kid has up his sleeve.
