After the disastrous "Chukallo Chandrudu" young Telugu star
Siddharth bounces back with a feel-good entertainer "Bommarillu".
The actor regains his lover-boy image with his performance as a youth
rebelling against a possessive father. Siddharth's final confrontation
with his lovable but smothering father is his best scene so far.
Pretty Genelia delivers another knockout performance as an innocent
girl. She excels in scenes where her character tries to work out friendly
equations with the members of her would-be husband's family.
