So here <br /><br />goes. <br />Firstly, this film is a good learning experience for a lot of people - Tollywood now knows one more <br /><br />way that a film can flop. <br />Then, with Naveen Vadde we can only look forward to better things in life. He's starred in 4 films <br /><br />in one year now (Chaala Baagundi, Maa Aavidameedottu..., Subhakaryam and now this) with ratings of <br /><br />2, 1, 1 and 1.5, so things can only move up - for him (with better films, which, given his <br /><br />histrionic capabilities, appears unlikely), or for all of us (if this ends it all). <br />Then, the film has done the Canadian economy a whole lot of good - a whole lot of the budget was <br /><br />spent there (the temptation to use alternate words for "spent" is overwhelming, but I'm being <br /><br />optimistic, remember?). Combined with a similarly expensive release last week, that's a whole lot of <br /><br />gratitude Tollywood has earned from the Canadians. <br />See, I knew I could do it! Three whole points! <br />Now to earn back my credibility, here's the true story. Cheppalani Undi is an expensive mistake that <br /><br />a lot of people will pay for, and hopefully you won't be among them. The tale starts by showing <br /><br />Vinay (Naveen) winning the 800m track event at the world championships held at Toronto, and setting <br /><br />a world record in the process. It's difficult to say why. The whole thing appears conjured up to <br /><br />show some Canadian landscape in the ensuing song and dance (can you beat that - Tollywood is trying <br /><br />to be logical about them?), and I rest my case in calling the movie an expensive mistake. <br />Anyway, Vinay returns home and is longing to meet his ladylove Priyanka, who happens to be his
