Mohan Babu`s homoe production 'Saleem' features Vishnu, Illeana, Mohan Babu, Kaveri Jha, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Tanikella Bharani, Hema, M.S.Narayana, Ali, Raghubabu in the lead cast.
Ileana plays the role of 'Satyawati' the daughter of 'Singamanaidu' (Napolean) a respectable villager. She comes to village to spend her vacation with all lovable relatives, as we have seen in many block bluster movies like 'Murari, Ninne Pelladatha, Athadu, Santhosham etc. This movie doesn`t add any new star in the movies history, but repeats the old screenplay of presentation.
Vishnu plays the role of 'Munna' a repeated character name of many telugu movies, who joins this lovable family as an orphan.
Mohan Babu who has been appearing in cameo roles in many movies in the recent past, has picked up an insignificant role in his home production 'Saleem' which doesn`t suit his legendary image of the Tollywood, running behind the trees romancing with 'Kaveri Jha' a school teacher is an insult to all the teachers. He plays the role of Don which doesn`t sink with the movie plot at all.
Ali a dance master enters the Napolean`s household to teach dance and trying hard to make the audience to laugh, but fails.
Movie Plot: Noting much to say as such, but the three cartoons of the movie, who play the lead roles say 'Munna' happens to be 'Saleem' giving a twist to the story wanting the heroine Ileana (Satyavathi) to fall in love with him. He settles down as an important member in the family as 'Purushotham' and wins everyone`s heart in the family. As any other Tollywood hero 'Munna's heart is filled with the love & affection of the family members that he decides not to stir the happiness of the family and explains 'Ileana' to 'close the windows' of the heart & forget his love. On her part 'Ileana' says that she has been attracted to him, but the end gives another twist saying, about her love with 'Krish' her Bangkok based lover. Ali a skimpy character joins the family to stab the comedy but fails drastically to make the audience laugh.
What happens at the end ? If you are still keen to know, watch it in theatres
'Saleem' technically sound, but weak in many aspects like senseless screenplay, rotten comedy and over exposing of heroines doesn`t meet the expecatation level of the audience
'Saleem' a dissappointing movie and another dud to join the que of last week releases at the box office
