Analysis :
Pawan looks good in the get up of Johnny. He did extremely well in pathos scenes. His antics are very stylish in the beginning of the film. He did well in fights too. Pawan Kalyan looks rugged and manly with an exercised body.Renu Desai is the perfect fit for the role of Geetha. She looks extremely homely in this film by wearing sarees and choodidaars. Her histrionics in hospital scenes are worth applauding.Devi Charan is impressive in the debut fight as Chinna Gouse. MS Narayana is good in the beginning of the film and became stale later. Mallikharjun did a good character role. Raghuvaran did the role of Pawan's father. Lalith Dubey did the role of English-speaking stepmother to Pawan Kalyan. Ali did a good role. Brahmaji did an unimportant role of police officer
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is pretty slow. Second half is pathetic. There is no nativity in the film. The good points on the screen in this film are 3 songs, fights and the love track between Pawan and Renu in the first half. Pawan Kalyan lets the viewers down with his directorial capabilities. The main drawback of the film is lack of proper story and bad screenplay. One can watch this film with an academic interest to study how not to direct a film. This film has all style and no substance. Normal viewers can safely avoid watching this film.
