Analysis :

Arjun lives up to his title 'Action King' in this film. His role needs to show lot of brain than brawn. He stole the show with his right expressions. Even at this age he maintains a body that is near to six pack.Manisha is looking contrastingly different from her earlier films. She epitomizes the innocence of a village belle. Some people may not like her facial expressions in the first half as they are very raw, yet sensual. But Manisha is a treat to watch in songs. Manivannan seems to be penetrating into the hearts of telugu viewers off late. His character, dubbed by Kota, looks very powerful and has a bit of comedy attached to it.Laila is given an insignificant role for which she did full justice.Sushmita Sen acted in a special song. She looks very sensual in this song unlike her other songs.

TeluguOne Perspective :

Director needs to be given a special applause for taking such a burning and relevant topic of social life and adapting it to the theme of cinema and directing it with such a skill without losing the commercial touch and glamour of the film. Though there are lot of other people who gets the credit for this fabulous work, the hands down winner is going to be one and only Shankar. His character of CM closely resembles the working style of Chandrababu Naidu. May be the vision of Shankar's ideal CM suits with the functionality of Chandra Babu Naidu. It is a welcoming change to get such film which educate people and create awareness among them about good transparent governance. People who make films like 'Pichivadi Chetilo Raayi' must take a leaf out of Shankar's page to emulate him. Everybody who comes out of theaters gets a feeling that they watched a film that is worth making impact on their thinking process.
