Analysis :

Jagapati Babu slimmed a bit for this film. He looks dignified with his spectacles and red tilakam. Heroine Neha looks like a kid and the pair of Jagapati Babu and Neha looks little odd (especially in romantic scenes). Both of them did well with in their limitations. Suman is apt as honest man. Prakahs Raj is cool, but he is hyperactive in comedy scenes that projects the foolishness. Siva Reddy, Ali, Brahmanandam and MS Narayana are used as comedy gang to generate humor. MS Narayana's yaksha prasna 'Evaru Nuvvu' evokes laughter at beginning and that character vanishes without any trace in the second half. Debutant soft villain Bharat is a replica of his brother Ravi Teja in voice, mannerisms and expressions. Sradda Nigam is ok as vamp. Jeeva is first rate with his comedy. Raja Sridhar is OK in the guest role.

TeluguOne Perspective :

The film starts on an impressive note. The way how the protagonist arrives at Hyderabad is shown similar to that JD's entrance in Mumbai during the titles of Varma's flick 'Satya'. The initial reels of the film are interesting, till the story reaches flashback point. The flashback of the film is uninteresting, especially the love track between the lead pair. The entire second half is narrated in a lighter vein style. If you look in parts, the second half looks cool. But if you look at holistic perspective, the entertainment-oriented narration makes a big dent on the script and seriousness of hero's mission. The title of the film is 'Athade Oka Sainyam' (one man army). But, what is the use of army to fight any enemy that has neither ammunition nor brains? We have to wait and see if SV Krishna Reddy's AOS withstand the competition from three Sankranthi biggies!
