Performances
It is known fact that Brahmanandam is
a great actor and he is best in doing comedy. In this, he carried out
the role on his shoulders playing the title role but his timing and
dialogue delivery couldn’t help at times due to the bad writing.
Vennela Kishore as an
actor scored good. Ali is just okay while Thagubothu Ramesh and Dhanraj
are hilarious. Melkoti, Venu are decent, Ahuti Prasad was wasted. There
isn’t much scope for rest of the cast.
Technical Analysis
Cinematography is not upto the mark and
the film carried no songs. Vennela Kishore has penned the dialogues as
well for the film which are okay. Direction is bad and screenplay is
pretty average.
Analysis
Vennela Kishore scores as an actor and
in dialogues but fails in direction department for Jaffa. He has come up
with a new thought process but the inconsistent screenplay and slow
pace fails in keeping audiences glued to the screens.
The film had few good comedy sequences
and with Brahmi’s comic timing and dialogue delivery, they work well
here and there. But the film had quite a lot of illogical sequences and
logic has gone for a toss big time. First half of the film is crisp,
thanks to the editor and is passable but the second half is terrible
with dragged narration, even Brahmanandam couldn’t help due to the jerky
screenplay which ultimately leads to boredom. The climax fizzles out
after a while. The film will have good openings due to Brahmanandam but
it’s hard to click at the Box-Office.
