Simhachalam (Srihari) is a honest DCP (Deputy Commissioner of Police). He believes in final justice even if could be achieved by unlawful means. In his mission to eliminate criminals from the city, he gets Sivaramaraju arrested. This makes Dora Swamy Raju (Prakash Raj) - the most dreaded factionist from Rayalaseema - come to Hyderabad to eliminate Simhachalam. The rest of the story is all about how Dora Swamy Raju attempts to cook the goose of Simhachalam and how Simhachalam counterfeits it to become victorious.

Analysis :

Srihari gave controlled performance in this film. Looks like he has pondered over the continuous flops he got in the last year and decided to chose good scripts. His characterization is molded to glorify the strengths of Srihari.The character of Prakash Raj enters during the interval scene. He carried the entire second half on his shoulders. The character of Prakash Raj is little similar to his Obulesu Reddy character from Okkadu. But he makes sure that he is not redundant. Prakahs Raj emerged as the one man who can change the fate of the film (like he did for Dil film) if he is given the right character.Meena suited the role of dutiful and gusty wife of the hero. Sunil has got a comedy role in this film. Telangana Sakuntala generated good amount of comedy in her brief role.

TeluguOne Perspective :

This film starts on a routine note. The first half is average. Secong half is good with interesting twists (thanx to Prakash Raj). The 'counseling episodes' by hero in the first half are good. However, there are many characters in this film that were left without giving them an ending. The police officers can proudly watch this film. 'Simhachalam' is a minimum guarantee film that has all probability to become a hit like 'Bhadrachalam'.
