Well after the huge success of Sree Vishnu previous film, Raja Raja Chora, he is back with Arjuna Phalguna.
Arjun(Sree Vishnu) is JR NTR fan and has four close friends and can go to any extent for them. As one of his friends(Rangasthalam Mahesh) gets into neck-deep problems financially, Arjun takes a daring step and decides to become a drug peddler. He, along with his friends smuggles drugs in Araku but gets obstructed by a ruthless cop(Subba Raju). How Arjun and his friends go through hell and come out of this issue is the whole film all about.
You see Sree Vishnu is the great and decent. His performance in a few emotional scenes in the first half brings depth to the proceedings. Heroine Amritha Iyer is cute as village girl but her role lacks depth in it. On the other hand, the chemistry between Amritha and Sree Vishnu is not showcased in a convincing manner. Naresh as Vishnu father and Siva Raja performace is okayish.
The first half is a letdown with some cringe comedies and poor narration.
The second half is okay and has some emotional moments.
Actually Arjuna Phalguna is letdown by weak story, insipid direction and bland screenplay. It comes across as an effort to make a movie out of whatever footage was shot after the team realised that the film was not turning out as intended.
