Performances ::
Artists ::
NTR: You are in for big disappointment after watching the performance of NTR. Forget the legendry NTR. He does not even come near to the acting prowess of those youth debutant heroes coming up now in Telugu cinema. Added to that, he is too fat for his age and it shows up in his walk and dances. His first priority should be to the shed the weight. Though people might feel awkward to watch him on silver screen, NTR will get established as a hero with few more films coming if he works hard on his histrionics, dialogue delivery and weight.
Raveena Rajput: She is another big negative asset for the film. She looks too young and raw to be a heroine and her acting is very artificial.
Technical Departments ::
Screenplay & direction: Time has come to the Telugu cinema where the success of the film purely depends on the screenplay, even if there is no story. Director VR Pratap has failed in providing good screenplay for the film. His direction in this film is also not up to the mark.
Music: Music is a saving grace for the film. SA Raj Kumar did a commendable work with his good tunes and backdrop score.
Analysis: When it comes to Usha Kiron movies, we talk about those facilities and independence provided to the directors. Here is a good example of how the infrastructure can be played around and can be ill utilized without yielding any results. Poor screenplay adds up to the poor emoting by the lead pair giving a torrid time to the visitors despite of having a good music. This film offers nothing except for satisfying the curiosity level of audience about NTR.
Rating: 2.5/5 (Two and half)
