SINNGA

Sinnga (Chiranjeevi Sarja), who has been raised by his mother Janakamma (Tara), is the proverbial do-gooder, but has a temper, which lands him in a lot of trouble with the police. The sheer number of cases against him turns out to be one reason for his reluctance to get married, apart from, of course, his anger, which he believes does not bode well for family life.

Janakamma, though, is hell-bent on seeing her son settled in life, so, when she spots Geetha (Aditi Prabhudeva) at a temple, she decides that the latter will become her daughter-in-law. While Sinnga is dead against the idea, he ends up falling for Geetha, when she comes to his help after a deadly attack on him. With his love life on track, Sinnga has to still take care of Rudraswamy (Ravishankar), who wants to exact revenge for a public humiliation.

Sinnga has all the elements of a pucca commercial film, right from comedy, mother and son sentiment, action and a cute love story, which one aspires to see in mass films. There are enough punch lines to please lovers of this genre of cinema. What Sinnga lacks is in content and the narration doesn't strike a chord. The story, which is as old as the hills, lacks the meat to keep you hooked for over two hours and the narration makes it a tedious watch. Except a couple of songs, which includes Shane Top Agavle, the rest are average. Tara stands out in her performance as an innocent mother Janakamma. Aditi Prabhudeva fits the bill perfectly as the girl next door. P Ravishankar is his usual best as villain. Sinnga could be one-time watch for those who love mass films.
