A novelty comeback for director Karunakar in the form of 'Ullasamga Uthsahanga'. Yasho Sagar and Sneha Ullal debut in Ullasamga Uthsahangamight be another hit for the director after his last hit Toli Prema.

Plot:The characters Dhanalaxmi and Balaji are childhood sweethearts, but they are separated. They keep in touch through letters. Dhana's father passes away and torture of her step-mother startsas her fathr leaves behind the property on Dhana's name. Her step-mother tries to force her into a marriage. She runs away to Hyderabad where she stays with her friend, and Arvind, the hero falls in love with her on first sight.He tries to woo her and failing to do so, she tells him her intentions-to find Balaji and marry him. Arvind's heart is broken, but will he help her or woo her away from his competitor-forms the rest of the plot.

The first half of the movie is full of comedy and is entertaining throughout, and the moment it drags or diverts, it perks up two fold again. It's witty, with gags that stay with you even after the movie ends. Small incidents, brief cameos are written so well that they make a difference to the movie. L.B.Sriram appears in a nice role but has an interesting and predictable character which gives a twist to the storyline.Dharmavarapu and his quarrelsome spouse, the 'Saroja' incident,

Karunakar might have diverted from his super hit later movies but the black and white screening of the movie seems to be copy of 'Manasantha Nuvve' .The 'Toli Prema' effect lingers, but why is that bad? Friends, girl and the hero being the black sheep of the family , his silly but funny entry, the loveladyin distress and what more, the damsel not falling for our hero till the nth moment-does that remind you of the earlier blockbuster? Karunakaran might have diverted from his super hit in his later movies including Happy, but here he is adamant. The track where Arvind thinks Dhana has amnesia so he tries to introduce himself to her and impress her every single day is cute. The way it slips into clichés to immediately get back to tongue-in-cheek humor is its USP.

Performances: The debutante lead pair is also good without giving a great debut. They have obviously worked out but need to enhance their acting skills.As far as Yasho goes, he needs to be change his hair style and need do his homework well.. Still it's a debut that is both confident and lucky, extremely lucky because the movie is good. He's sure to be noticed, and he needs to follow up on this to stay there. Sneha's slight resemblance to Ashwarya Rai not withstanding, she is a pretty girl with acting skills as good or otherwise of any other Mumbai imports. The rest of the cast, from Chandramohan as his father, the rest of his family, her step mother, her friend, cameos and guest appearances have all contributed to the movie.

Music and Dance: The music is good and choreography is good. Though copied (from two different international tracks) soundtrack they are hummable and pleasant. Costumes are good.

Last Word :Bang on the spot after Toli Prema, this is Karunakaran's next best flick. It cannot be actually compared to his other movie, but after some unexciting ventures,a good comeback which would win laurels for the director.The essences and flavour of LOVE could have been maintained still better.
