Analysis :
Verve' and 'Vibrant' are the two apt words that best describes the charismatic performance of Venky. His role in this film has the blend of his character of 'Raja' and Nag's character in 'Ninne Pelladatha'. His comic antics take a new dimension in this film. Simmering siren Simran enthralled the audience with her spirited performance. She has all the spontaneity that is needed for the portrayal of her character.Vishwanath carried all the dignity that his role demands. This best director turns out to be the Director's actor in this film.Srihari is given role that carried equal charm and weight of the Hero. It's a treat to watch Srihari doing powerful roles like this one and there is a considerable applause by the viewers for his performance in the morning show of release day(where all the Venky fans have a whale of time).
TeluguOne Perspective :
This film belongs the genre of 'Ninne Pelladatha'. The impact it gives to the viewer is more than that of 'Ninne Pelladatha', in fact. Raj's characterization in DDLJ suits the 'Raghu' characterization in this film. An optimist and unconditional good-doer he is, 'Raghu' wins the hearts of all family members and the viewers.Its very difficult to narrate the story in this film as its a treatment based one. History says that Venky films catch up slowly and then set the box-office on fire. But this film may prove the history wrong. This film will set the cash registers ringing right from the show one. There is not even a single sigh in the theater throughout the film. All the viewers are spell bound and enjoyed all the scenes with equal enthusiasm, be it comedy, sentiment, fights, dances .... etc. To know the range of the film, we gotta wait and see till the trade reports pour in the weeks to come.
