One day, he goes out of his way to help a girl elope and inadvertently ends up rubbing the girl’s elder brother, played by Sampath, on the wrong side. The film has Gopichand playing a smart young man, Venkateswarlu, who has a solution for every problem. Loukyam is funny in parts and makes no bones about what it’s trying to achieve, despite the fact that it’s treading on a wafer thin storyline. Although some of the gags are quite inventive, the film resembles a Looney Tunes show as its progresses. The story is so convoluted and mundane that the probability of a twist taking you by surprise is almost negligible.
Movie Review : Loukyam is yet another shining example of the ongoing trend that all that matters in a big budget film are a select few scenes which make you laugh. The rest of the story is about how Venky solves all the problems in Chandrakala’s house to marry her.
One fine day, he meets Chandrakala and falls in love with her however, he soon realises that he has rubbed her elder brother on the wrong side. All in all, it is a routine Telugu rom-com.Synopsis : Venky is a smart young man, who has a solution for every problem. Anoop Rubens' music is not brilliant but then, one could be thankful it wasn't Thaman. The movie has a rich look about it thanks to good cinematography. He is a really good actor, whose acting skills aren't really receiving the appreciation they deserve in the hands of character writers of Tollywood, pandering largely to a hero-worshipping audience. Also, it is about time Sampath Raj picks a role that suits his calibre. Gopichand is a decent actor and so is Rakul Preet but one wonders if directors, in this case Sriwass, will ever tire of using the same story again and again. The real surprise package though was Pruthvi who played the character of Boiling Star Babloo, his track turning into a spoof that makes fun of factionist movies, major stars and even television serials. After a long time, Brahmanandam manages to bag a character that has a little more than the usual nuisance. The humor track with Brahmanandam and Chandra Mohan was hilarious in parts. The movie will sell in all probability, judging by the audience's response. Why they suddenly turn dumb and act like fools at seemingly silly plots hatched by the trying-to-be-oversmart hero is beyond me. They continue to rage and rave about their anger and thirst for revenge.
Now that has to happen, isn't it? Funnily, this is one movie where the villains have personalities, good looking guys with a commanding presence. Most of the movie is about how the hero takes the villain(Sampath Raj), brother to the leading girls for a ride and eventually brings about a change in his heart. Meanwhile, the hero has been the perpetual pain the rearside for the villain, interfering in his sisters' weddings each time, once because of his ever-helping altruistic nature and once because of his true love, or so we should think. The movie is about how two villains are baying for each other's blood with a tiny flashback that is equally stupid. The hero, like in all Telugu movies, is jobless, yet so smart, he can outsmart everyone, including the villains who have been all the while smart enough to outsmart politicians, states and businessmen. But then this is what Tollywood has been nurturing the last decade. Shame on the people, who thought this kind of chauvinism and sexism is tolerable. In the early stages of the movie, the hero(Gopichand) who is portrayed as someone with sensitivity and respect for women, slaps the heroine(Rakul Preet Singh) and explains to his friend that it is one of the ways to get to a woman's heart, the type of woman who doesn't heed to roses.
