16 Days

It's the story of two gangsters with one gangster Yadagiri losing his son in a shootout to another (Rami Reddy). Yadagiri wants to take revenge and kill Rami Reddy's son. He fails in all his attempts. Then enters Gutti Murthy (Aravind) who gives Yadagiri an idea to get his wish. Yadagiri then entrusts this work to Gutti Murthy - however Rami Reddy's men kidnap gutti Murthy before he can accomplish his mission and bury him in the ground. Murthy manages to escape and lands in an apartment where he meets and marries Angel (Charmie). The whole story is about how Murthy escapes the dons after 16 days. The concept is based on the Hollywood movie Lucky Number Slevin. However the movie fails to execute well and the story is very much in bits and pieces. The movie starts off well but the director loses his focus and the script is filled with lots of illogical sequences. The actors do an okay job and the cinematography is very good. On the whole this movie is a miss due to the poor directing and bad story line.
