Neither here nor there...

Rajendra Prasad's films always have something in them to kindle the interest of the movie-goers. He, in the company of Sivaji has done a few films in the past that were comic capers. 

The two now come together for Ayyare. It is a collage of romantic and spiritual deeds and director Sagar Chandra has tried to make two extreme ends meet.

In a nutshell, Ayyare is an average movie where there is neither big humour nor any spills or thrills. Thanks to Rajendra Prasad's screen presence the movie manages a watch. Besides him and Sivaji, the movie has Anisha, Sai Kumar, Siva Prasad, Srinivasa Reddy and Venu Madhav.

Venkatesh (Sivaji) is a mechanic. He lives life his own way. One fine day he comes across Anjali (Anisha). Obviously cupid's arrow is struck and two become a couple. 

Coming to know about their affair, Anjali's father (Siva Prasad) decides to get them married. When all goes well, a sudden change of heart by Anjali's father turns things. He opposes the marriage. 

Venkatesh is clueless as to why he suddenly goes against the wedding plans. Now enters Prasad (Rajendra Prasad). Shown as a Godman, he spills the beans to Venkatesh that he knows all the reason behind it and he would fix the whole problem.

It is a bumpy ride as the movie proceeds at a snail's pace. The first half that speaks about the romance between Anisha and Sivaji is mindless and boring. It is more of a melodrama with no interesting twists. The music too could not do much to save its grace and the dialogues too are monotonous.

Rajendra Prasad plays his part well as usual. Sivaji is brilliant in patches. Unfortunately Anisha disappoints. The rest of the cast play what they have been doing so far in their earlier movies.

Ayyare starts on a dull note and is watchable as it enters the second half. Though cliched, the movie is good in parts.
