When Niharika found out that he was a goon, she dumped him. And she also came to know that she is in love with tony. Later on tony kills Rakesh and captures his son DSP Jr.(Sai). Later on when Tony, Niharika, and Chitra (Payal Ghosh) go to the temple, Chitra sees tony killing someone. And then there is a flashback about how he and niharika met before but she lost her memory. That happened because niharika's brother was a undercover cop and when goons found out they killed the whole family. The only one who survived was niharika but she had a bullet in her head. The doctors said that she would lose her memory soon. So, she tells Tony to kill the people who killed her family because she had seen Tony beating up a bunch of people.

Times Of India, which gave a two star, said "screenplay falls short, especially in the second half of the film. NTR steals the show in the first half. In most scenes, he underplays his emotions and manages to evoke some laughs. But towards the end of the movie, his act gets inconsistent and he doesn't emote too well either. Tamannah and Payal Ghosh do justice to their roles. CNN-IBN gave a negative review commenting "'Oosaravelli' fails to live up to the expectations, and one can blame a weak script for this debacle. The movie is a disappointment for ardent NTR fans but for average viewers it is nothing more than a predictable hotchpotch film". Rediff gave a two and half stars explaining "Oosaravelli is a routine revenge drama. There is some humour woven in, there are some interesting twists and turns and some flashback episodes. Even so, the director does not seem to have a proper grip on the story. Post-interval the momentum slackens. NTR is different in terms of his styling and acting. On the whole, it seems like watching a new, more restrained NTR. Tamannaah turns in a good performance.
Oneindia.in gave the film an average verdict, saying "Oosaravelli promises big but falls very short of expectations. The film is an average entertainer and the one big positive thing in Oosaravelli is that the director has tried something new and different. Tamanna also gets a good role that has scope for action. She does complete justice to her role. NTR brings in positive energy. The twists are good". B.V.S. Prakash of Deccan Chronicle wrote "A street-smart goon, played by NTR, goes on a killing free terminating ruthless people in an effort to fulfil a promise he made to a hapless girl played by Tammanah. Instead of making a regular vigilante movie, director Surender Reddy blends romance with humour to lessen the gory part of this entertainer, but once the “secret” behind the killings is revealed, the film loses its sheen". NDTV stated "With Oosaravelli director Surender Reddy has tried something new and different. If you are NTR fan, then it is a must-watch otherwise the film is an average entertainer".
The soundtrack of the film was released worldwide on September 15, 2011. The music was composed by Devi Sri Prasad. The audio launch program was aired live on MAA TV.
