Analysis :
Artists:Bala Krishna: Balayya is looking extra glamorous in this film. His wardrobe is full of variety. And he did full justice to the role by acting exceptionally well. His dances are very good in three songs.Anjala Zhaveri: She was given a mean role in this film and she acted well though she did not have enough footage.Shilpa Shetty: She too is full of glamour. Her character has no work in this film other than getting glued to Balayya and lending him her hand in fights.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The first half of the film has nothing to offer except for a few comedy scenes and three songs. The real story begins with the flashback and ends with it. This film suffers because of a weak villain. The hero can be as powerful as the villain. With a weak villain in the form of Prakash Raj, this director could not exploit the mass angle of the film. The dealing of flashback episode is sensitive. Since, the film does not have any revenge plot and killings, it might not work well with the masses. We got to wait for a week to know how 'Bhalevadivi Basu' fares.
