Harikrishna and Ram (both played by Kalyanram) are born twins, but Ram is diagnosed to be soft-headed and he develops a grudge on anyone who's more intelligent than he is. In a situation where their dad (Chandramohan) is very concerned about Ram hurting even Harikrishna for the latter's being more intelligent, their mother (Seetha) walks out of the house with Ram, in order to protect her mentally affected child. In a turn of events, Hari, raised by his uncle and aunt (Chalapati Rao & Sudha), turns out to be an IPS officer - the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP). In events that follow, Hari gets into a little altercation with the health minister Shiva Reddy (Kota Srinivasa Rao) who is behind a health mafia along with his brother Dr. G.K. Reddy (Rajeev Kanakala), and the chairman of 10TV channel Surya Prakash (Ashok Kumar).

Analysis :

Kalyanram dons two roles as Hari and Ram, and he does the job very well. His performance as a psychopath and as a sophisticated officer are distinct and appreciable, starting with his body language and makeup to his diction. Kalyanram's ease in acting can be seen all through. Priyamani as the love interest of the ACP role, and as an undercover CBI officer, handles the two shades of her role really well. She also gets into some glamor show in the songs. Sindhu Tholani comes as an element of surprise, as a journalist that loves Ram and makes him normal. This is not the first time she takes up such a role - she makes herself a good fit. Brahmanandam as taxi driver Nijam is good, while Raghubabu as a police inspector adds to some comedy along with him. Ali and Venumadhav appear in insignificant roles that they could have easily handled anyway. Rajeev Kanakala has a short role as a wicked doctor who isolates deadly viruses and later creates and sells the remedy at a high price. The rest of the cast does the job well. Seetha is particularly good in sentimental scenes.

TeluguOne Perspective :

Camerawork by Ramprasad is very impressive, with mind-blowing shots such as the glass piece through Kota's hand, reflection of Kalyanram having a different expression than his face, reflection of the hospital roof in Kalyanram's eyeball after CBI investigation, etc.. Dialogues were good in parts, but faced a lot of censoring, with new rules in place. Even the caste-indicating part of Rajeev Kanakala's name is cut out, thus making him "Dr. G.K. (muffled pause)". Some dialogues connected to the current political scenario such as "chaTTam tana pani taanu chEsukupOtundi" by the Health Minister are edited out. Action sequences are well-choreographed and the camera work is very good in fights, but one can expect that the violence levels would be high because one of the two male lead roles is portrayed as that of a psychopath.
