Veteran Director Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao made his comeback with ‘Welcome Obama’ had released today. It is an emotional drama that deals with mother’s love with surrogacy as its backdrop. It stars debutants Urmila, Rachel and Sanjeev in the lead roles. Let us see had singeetam scored a hit on his comeback..?

Story :

Yashodha(Urmila) is a single mother who leads a poor life in a small village along with her daughter. Her daughter is handicapped. He wants to see her daughter walking on her own legs. Lucy(Rachel) is an American who wants to become a mother without pregnancy. An agent brings her to Urmila and a deal is brokered for some amount. Urmila accepts the offer so that she can meet her daughter’s medical expenses.

After Urmila is clinically impregnated, Rachel stays with her to take care. Rachel doubts that baby in Urmila’s womb might be handicapped and leaves India. But Urmila gives birth to a normal and healthy baby and she names him Krishna. After few years, on knowing that her son is normal and healthy, Rachel comes to India to take her son with her. But already Urmila increases so much affection on the kid and it is heart breaking situation for her to give away the kid. Let us see will Rachel take away her kid along with her or not…?

Positive Aspects :

Urmila has delivered a clean and decent performance as a mother. Her expressions in some scenes are simply superb. Her performance is going to be the one of the biggest asset for this movie. Yashodha is a tailor made role for her. Rachel’s performance as a careless foreign lady is ok. Sanjeev did a justice to his role. Being a foreigner the kid who played the role of Krishna has delivered a decent performance.

Negative Aspects :

Even the story line is little bit different but story treatment is so worst. Except the Urmila all the other performances is not up to the mark. There is no relation between Title and the movie. The length of the movie is too long. Second half is much boring when compared to the second half. Comedy track between the lyricists “Bhuvana Chandra” and “Anantha Sri Ram” is one of the worst comedy track of this decade and it is also a main drawback for the movie. The dialogues by rohini is not up to the mark.

Technincal Aspects :

The movie has totally failed in all the technical aspects. Screen play of the movie is too slow and boring. Editing is not good there are many unnecessary scenes in the movie which test the patience of the audience.

Coming to the direction, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao totally failed in this aspect. After watchinf this movie we will fell that Singeetam Srinivasa Rao is still in 90’s. His taking and the scene’s looks too old. It’s better for him to stop this kind of experiments to keep his name in the list of good directors.

The music and the Background score also got average marks only. Cinematography of the movie is decent.

Verdict :

Watch the movie only if you are a hardcore fan of Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. Other wise it’s better to avoid this movie for the sake of your health and money.
