Performances
Nara Rohit proves to be
a good performer but his character fades off and doesn’t have any
strength. He does satisfactorily in what he was offered.
Nithya Menon looked good and she delivers her best in terms of performance. The actress is charming and expressive.
Sai Kumar is powerful
with an amazing on-screen presence, Sathya Krishna is okay,
Brahmanandam and Ali are wasted, Naga Babu is decent, Srinivasa Reddy
brings in few laughs. Other didn’t have much scope.
Technical Analysis
Karthik’s musical scores are mediocre
while the background score is just okay. Cinematography by Andrew is
first class and the film looked colorful. Chintapalli Ramana dialogues
lack the needed punch. Srinivas Raga direction is bad and screenplay
falters. Marthand K.Venkatesh editing is patchy. Production Values are
okay.
Analysis
Srinivas Raga comes up with an
interesting storyline but he fails in its narration. The execution
falters with illogical screenplay. Despite many experienced artists in
the film, the film fails to grab audiences’ interest. Brahmanandam, MS
Narayana, Ali are wasted in uninteresting roles. In fact Nara Rohit’s
role fades off with no strength to his role.The scenes are unconvincing
and illogical. He could have focused more on screenplay and family
drama.
The first half is a bit okay with
characters establishment and some family drama while the interval bang
is interesting offering some scope, but the second half tests patience
with the director’s poor handling of script. Despite an interesting
twist in the interval, the screenplay diverts into the conventional and
predictable zone of story in the second half while the climax is yet
another fail.
