Why did he appear suddenly from nowhere? To know the answers, you got to watch the movie!
Analysis :
Sri Hari did a duel role in this film. Except for few scenes, he disappoints his fans to great extent. His character of police officer lacks the mass punch. He imitated Manoj Bajpai (from AKS) for the negative role of 'Narayana'. He looks very awkward in that get up. But he did extremely well in a scene where he meets his mother for the second time. Except for the extraordinary performance in that scene, Sri Hari did not show any good variety in performance. Vijaya Lakshmi has a little role to play and she enacted well as the dutiful Brahmin wife of police officer. Meghana has nothing to do in this film except for flashing her body.
TeluguOne Perspective :
It's very sad that Sri Hari choose such a lousy subject to make a film on his own banner. First half of the film is uninteresting and second half is bad. It turns your spirits down even if you don't expect anything out of it. I consider you to be lucky to read this review. You can save your time and efforts unlike me.
