Analysis :
Bala Krishna is looking extremely handsome in the police attire. He is pretty romantic in teasing scenes with Asin. He is excellent in emotional scenes, especially in the one where he utters ferocious dialogues with Ahuti Prasad before climax to an exhilarating effect. He did well in the 'Jadakotti' and 'Neetoti Naaku panundi' dance numbers. Balayya did well in fights department as well. Asin is tender in this film. She has more footage in the 1st half due to the love episode. She also exposed her cleavage in a couple of romantic scenes compared to her earlier films. Sunitha dubbed her voice. Prakash Raj is OK as Dharmabhiksham. Krishna Bhagavan provided some entertainment through one-liners. Sunil had a separate comedy track. Rakshita is negligible in the first song of the film. Viswanath acted as father of Bala Krishna. Ahuti Prasad got a decent role as commissioner. MS Narayana is wasted. Duvvasi Mohan is fair. Devi Charan's character went unnoticed.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is entertaining. Second half is OK. The interval bang is smooth. The flashback episode should have had more punch. The second half is heavily loaded with mass elements. The duration of film should be trimmed by a good 30 minutes to make the film more crisp. Bala Krishna's terrific performance is going to be the biggest strength of the film. And it would entertain the masses very well
