Analysis :
Artists:Chiranjeevi: Chiranjeevi did an excellent job as Daddy in this film. He shed some weight compared to Mrigaraju. His new looks are good. But his character lacks the heroism one expects from Chiranjeevi. His role in this film is much more softer than that of 'Iddaru Mitrulu'.Baby Akshaya: She is very cute in this film and all the scenes involving baby Akshaya hit well with the audiences. Baby Akshaya must be commended for her sweet action in this film.Simran: Simran looks weary. She did wonderful job as the protagonist in this film.Ashima Bhalla: Ashima did a small role which confines to two songs and she did well within the limitations.Rajendra Prasad: Rajendra Prasad's talent is wasted in this film. There is absolutely no scope for comedy for his character.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of this film is average. The second half is good in the beginning. It's high time for Chiru to sign the films with good script rather than going for the famed directors like Suresh Krishna, who seems to have lost the ammunition in his direction. Have no expectations and watch this film, you might like it. This film is better than Mrigaraju and not as good as Annayya. We have to wait and see how the viewers, especially the family ladies, like this film in the weeks to come as this film is heavily banking on the 'sentiment' factor!
