Analysis :
Tarun looks manly in this film with a light beard. The entire film revolves around him and he did justice to his role. Asha Saini did a cameo role in this film. Her character in this film is not needed. Gajala enters the film just before interval and again just before the end of the film. She looks pretty glamorous in her small role. Reema Sen enters the film after interval and stays till the end. Her get-up (blue jeans pants and jerkin along with a white T shirt) and mannerisms are severely inspired by Urmila Montodkar of Varma's films. Savita Reddy's dubbing for Reema Sen is also inspired by Sridevi voice in 'Kshana Kshanam' film. Sivaji copied the mannerisms of Sharukh Khan in dialogue delivery and Prakash Raj in gestures.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The first half of the film is bad. And the second half is worse. Making this film is a colossal misuse of producer's funds and watching this film is sheer waste of money. Watch this film at your own risk.
