    Murder Mystery and amnesia makes good viewing

    Dr Ramesh( Lokesh) is shown on the run from Police having ostensibly killed his sister's rapist in a fit of rage. He meets up with bride on the run ( Arathi) at a lonely railway station on a scary rainy night where a ghostly woman sings a sad song to boot! the two strangers realize that due to twist of fate they were betrothed to be married to each other but now the circumstances of Ramesh being hunted for a murder changes everything. It is revealed in flashback that his innocent sister was brutalized by an arrogant young man and now the same sister has amnesia and is being treated by another Doctor ( Anantnag). The Heroine arathi who sees his good nature somehow suspects all is not straight forward and fights for his release in a court while Ramesh himself does not want his sister to get cured and remember the horrid past. He would rather go to the gallows and see his sister safe! The climactic end has a few unexpected twists and the it is a worthwhile effort from the team led by Y R swamy on this story idea based on a Bengali Novel by Dr Nihar Ranjan Gupta. The performances are excellent by Lokesh and Anantnag who underplay and compliment very well and Jayalakshmi as the sister looks very innocent.Arathi is her usual self. Hummable music numbers include Ninna Neenu, naguvina aluvina sankole etc by Musician T G Lingappa. Very good suspense thriller to spend time on a lazy afternoon.
