Analysis :

Srikanth found to be third time lucky with a good role to go with good story after 'Preyasi Raave' and 'Kshemamga Velli Labhamga Randi'. He character is an easy going one, but takes a swift shift in the end to give completeness to it. Srikanth excelled well in that role.Success seems to be eluding Naveen though he is not erring in his selection of projects. But this time he got everything right including the much elusive success. He did exceedingly well in portraying the repenting mass character.Malavika is not an extraordinary beauty. That's reason why she is selected for this film. She looks just like the girl next door with her innocent smile and sensuality of a female. She did well to balance the showing of love towards srikanth and showing of hatred towards Naveen in presence of Srikanth and let him not know about the existing rivalry between Naveen and her.Asha did well in her insignificant, yet important, character. A steamy song showcases her dare to bare attitude.he ultimate killer in this film is LB Sriram (He is dialogue write who worked for films like Hitler and Hello Brother). He provided the same kind of impact that is provided by Rao Gopal Rao in 'Muthyala Muggu'. His Godari accent is a treat to ears. He is an excellent stage artist. Just like most of the stage artist, his strength lies in body gestures and pronunciation of Telugu. Though he is done a few insignificant roles in films like 'Kishkinda Kanda' and 'Hands Up', this film helped him as a launching pad into the popularity. He is supposed have grabbed half a dozen films with his performance in this film. His lingo 'Pusukkuna' makes people laugh uncontrollably. A new comedy star is born with this film.

TeluguOne Perspective :

EVV has a habit of giving lot of prerelease hype before the release of his films. He followed the same strategy for the last two films 'Pilla Nachindi' and 'Neti gandhi'. This time too he did the same by giving high blitz publicity. But this time he got another thing right in addition to good publicity. That is to make a film that is worth the publicity he gives. People like Chiru and Rama Naidu publicly acknowledge their personal opinion about 'Chala Bagundi'. EVV has the most powerful weapon as the publicity vehicle. That is a satisfied viewer. And all the people who watched this film are giving good feed back. And this mouth publicity is just doing what it is supposed to do.
