Analysis :

Chakri acted with ease in a role that demands sensibility of an innocent lover and mass image that is projected by a typical telugu hero. Chakri's image as a mass hero enhanced with this film as this role has a lot of punch dialogues that got raving applause from the front benchers.Rambha did her part with zest. Her body language is a treat to watch in songs.Laya Being a dark horse in this film, Laya stole the show with her excellent performance.Surya character is a straight take off from 'Premakuvelayara'. His action is a big plus point to the film as it gives us lot of comic relief.

TeluguOne Perspective :

Story is the weak point of the film. The director tried to induct the comedy track(by Brahmanandam and Ali), in vein. First half of the film is dull, sans superb songs. Second half is entertaining, especially the Surya's episode. On a whole this film is a watchable one for the lovers of SV Krishna Reddy films and comedy films. We have to wait and see how the viewers script the box office fate of 'Kodanda Ramudu'.
