Nara Rohith has been coming up with films one after another within a short gap. Still his movies are much looked forward to as he is known to come up with different scripts.
When "Savitri" was announced it had raised curiosity for its title and also director Pavan Sadineni had shown promise with "Prema Ishq Kadhal". So does this movie live up to curiosity it had raised? Let's find out...

When her elder sister gets married, her father (Murali) and uncle (Ajay) start searching for an alliance. And they come to know that a doctor is good match for her and ask him to see his daughter.

On the happy mood, Savitri heads to Shirdi by train from Vishakapatnam.
On the train she meets a guy Rishi (Nara Rohit) who is a doctor and he falls in love with her immediately. She doesn't encourage his love tease but has soft corner for him. When he proposes her seriously, she rejects him and heads to her home. Then the drama moves to her home.
Artistes’ Performances:
Nara Rohith has got the role of playing a lover boy which doesn't suit his body language. So, he has seemed so uncomfortable in it although he has done good job in the action episodes and other scenes. But it is the time he needs to shed his weight.

Nanditha has suited well to the role of Savitri. Murali has played a similar role has done in "Bhale Bhale Magadivoy". Ajay is good.
Dhanya Balakrishna is okay in a brief role. Vennela Kishore provides some laugh. Prabhas Seenu, Satyam Rajesh, Ravi Babu and other actors are just okay.
Technical Excellence:
The film is shot mostly in sets except the train episode. So it has some good production quality. Visuals are ordinary. Music is bland. Editing is totally bad. Dialogues written by Krishna Chaitanya doesn't suit to the story. Even when the scene is so clichéd and lacks depth, the dialogues sounded with heavy words.

Highlights:
- Nanditha
- Fairly better narration towards the end
Drawbacks:
- Old Story
- Silly drama in train episode
- Beaten to death screenplay
- Lack of good songs
- No convincing conflict
Analysis
Nara Rohith has won good name for picking up unusual scripts in the initial stage of career. With films like "Baanam", "Prathinidhi", "Rowdy Fellow", Nara Rohith has become darling for new age directors and an image was created that his films can be watched for its hatke nature. Sadly, Nara Rohith too has joined the bandwagon of masala movies.

After "Tuntari", this "Savitri" is another example of his bad selection of stories.
The film starts off well. How heroine gets infatuated with weddings as she is born in pelli mandapam is established nicely. The trouble begins there after, when she hikes a train to go to Shirdi. From then till the interval, the drama runs on this train journey to Shirdi with silly jokes, logic-less scenes, many fights. One and half hour goes with this drama. Big bore is this sequences.
The episode of Posani Krishna Murali as Lord Krishna is completely nonsense and it doesn't make any sense.
After the interval, the drama shifts to heroine's village near Vishakapatnam. Although the scenes between heroine's father (played by Murali) and hero are quite interesting, even then the story doesn't move swiftly.
A flash back story about Ravi Babu is not convincing and this drama doesn't add much to the main plot.
The episode of Nara Rohith entering into Nanditha's house in the midnight, the following comedy is also quite boring as it is stretched beyond a point.
Apart from some sequences before the climax, even the second half doesn't interest much.
Director Pavan Sadineni who has made a contemporary love story with "Prema Ishq Kadhal" has narrated this story in beaten to death way. His clichéd story and old-style presentation both have failed him.
All in all, 'Savitri' fails to impress in any way.
Bottom-line: Routine Drama
