Rakul Preet is quite impressive in her role and she gets ample screen time to show off her acting chops. Loukyam is definitely a step away from the string of action dramas which Gopichand has done over the years, but that’s about as different as it gets in terms of the tone of his films. Gopichand plays the quintessential hero who confuses everyone around home to get what he wants and on the other end of the spectrum, we have Sampath, playing a villain’s role who is reduced a mere puppet in the larger scheme of things. When Venkateswarlu discovers who Chandrakala’s brother is, he’s forced to mend the fences and solve all issues in her family.įirst things first, the story and most of its characters leave a sense of déjà vu, especially in terms of how Gopichand and Sampath’s characterizations are written. Meanwhile, he bumps into Chandrakala (Rakul Preet), an arrogant young girl and soon, he ends up confessing his love for her. 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. Synopsis : Venky is a smart young man, who has a solution for every problem.
