Analysis :
Unlike his past maverick and male chauvinist films, Upendra acts as a good lover boy in this film. He impresses with his histrionics. Rachna looks ravishing in this film. She strikes a fine balance between the emotions and exposing.Sanghvi role in this film is a secondary one that enters in the interval. She did well with in her limitations.
TeluguOne Perspective :
It's a good storyline spoilt by bad direction. If a young director directs this film with youth heroes, it might have worked with the tight screenplay. It's not a trademark Upendra film. But there is one sadistically hilarious scene, in which Upendra takes Sanghvi to celebrate their first night to the graveyard and tries to rape her in it. Using TV monitor resolution video for web cam chat also looks surreal. Over all, it's a below average film.
