Aishwarya, Trisha and Prakash Raj in a still from ‘Akasamantha’ Film: Aakasamantha Cast: Prakash Raj, Trisha Direction: Radha Mohan Prakash Raj’s life revolves around his daughter. Like most fathers he hates sending her to pre-primary and gets a shock every time she says, “Daddy please, I know what I’m doing!” The relationship turns turbulent for him when Trisha leaves for Delhi to finish her MBA and returns to declare that she has fallen in love with a sardarji and wants to marry him. It takes a while for him to understand his assertive daughter and accep t his caring son-in-law into the family. It is a director’s film and he concentrates only on the bond between the father and daughter and focuses little on the mother. Aishwarya is shown as being cool and Prakash Raj just the opposite - getting unnerved, anxious and shedding tears every time his daughter leaves him. Some scenes look exaggerated as Prakash Raj goes overboard in showing his emotions but Trisha brings a perfect balance to the relationship by being just herself, sometimes perplexed and sometimes bugged but eventually speaking her mind out. The movie just narrates how a father finds it difficult to let his daughter fly out of the nest and build her own home. This one might not attract the masses but for the rest it is a fairly good narration by the director who weaves the story for a father and a daughter alone. Newcomer Ganesh is smart and confident, Jagapati Babu lends credibility and Aishwarya is perfect as a mother and wife. Photography is beautiful, music not impressive. A good screenplay and believable dialogues. Aakasamantha…I love my daughter, is like reading a book. It can be termed as a fairly good film.
