Analysis :

Characters of this type are Chakri's forte. He did his role with the ease.SoundaryaThough this role has limited scope for performance, Soundarya did her bit with perfection.Prakash Raj donned a role that is very inspirational and gives sugar coated message tablets. His scenes with Brahmanandam makes viewers laugh their heart out.Brahmanandam makes us date back to the days of 'Yama Leela' and 'Vinodam' with his performance in this film.Ravi Teja did his bit with natural charm. Its very refreshing to see Ravi Teja at his natural best like his role in 'Manasichi Choodu'.Sri Hari is given a role of absent minded General Manager. Though his role has very less span in this movie, when ever he was shown viewers have a sigh of anticipating comic relief.Surya This guy can become another 'Prakash Raj' in the months to come. Its an exhilarating experience to see him in a comic role after seeing him in serious roles as Naxalite in Sindhuram and Kick Boxing Guru in Thammudu. Especially while narrating his story line 'akka - bava - attha - mama'.

TeluguOne Perspective :

This film is a complete family entertainer. It has got all the humor one can expect from SV Krishna Reddy - Divakar Babu combination. Lack of sentiment in this film might become a draw back in the long run. If you are fun loving, you will have fun watching this film.
