Will he kill the main villain (the father of Sravanthi)? To know the answers to these daunting questions, you should watch this film on the giant screen.
Analysis :
The role of Narasimha Naidu has two shades. One aspect is naiveness and other one is braveness. Balayya came up with a thundering performance again. He had a few very good dialogues in this film. In the second half songs, he imitated the antics of Govinda and impressed the audience with his variety steps. He too did lot of classical dance in this film (not in the songs through). He is simply stunning in his Rayalaseema attire get-up and reminds us of Samarasimha Reddy in many scenes. Simran is given a role that is very similar to that of her role in Nuvvu Vastavani. She would be wearing a plain sari through out the film except for the songs where she looked pretty glamorous. Simran has screen presence only in the second half.Preethi appearance in this film starts with a scene in which oil is poured in her navel. Though her intro started this way, her act and behavior is decent and admirable throughout the film. Preethi has good amount of footage in the first half and has virtually no footage in the second half. Asha Saini played the role of Simran sister and she is the carrier of the information from one heroine (Simran in the flashback) to another (Preethi of the present) and did have a few pranks to play with Balayya for which she has done fabulous work.K Vishwanath is as good as his role. His role did not have any provision for K Vishwanath to exhilarate. His character is of less importance in this film after Balayya grows up as full-fledged Narasimha Naidu.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is very good with interval being the nerve wrecking point. But the second half fail to meet the expectations created in first half. The episode of Balayya being exploited by his brothers could have been trimmed. This may not be as good as Samarasimha Reddy. But it's definitely better than Goppinti Alludu. Balayya, who amazed every one with the collections of Samarasimha Reddy, may just repeat the trick. It all depends on how the masses embrace this film and how the other Jan and Feb releases are going to fare. For the starters, Narasimha Naidu film started with a different story given by Posani Krishna Murali with Balayya playing the cop and the movie was stopped to accommodate news script. Looks like it worked.
