Analysis :
Uday Kiran seems to have pumped up a lot of iron to build a much better muscular body for this film. He is cute as usual. And he improved a lot in dialogue delivery (or we got used to his diction?). And the director made sure that the dialogues by Uday Kiran are underplayed. Only mass dialogue uttered by Uday Kiran in the film is 'Randiraa Naa Kodakallara'.Anitha is glamorous compared to Nuvvu Nenu. But not sizzling enough to attract the attention of Telugu film viewers. She played the role with lots of ease. Another one-song-heroine Kiran Rathod puts of a lot of weight and did well in 'Pedavullo Pepsicola' song.It's the second time act for Asish Vidyarthi as he donned the same role in Tamil 'Dhil' as well. He played it to the perfection. The dubbing of Ravi Shankar (who generally gives for Raghuvaran) also suited it.Sunil has lots of comedy track in the first half of the film. And he cracked jokes well and they are well received by the audiences. Somebody told that he wrote most of his comedy scenes in this film.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The first half of the film is pleasant with good comedy scenes though those scenes might dilute the seriousness and impact of the film. Second half builds up the tempo for mass elements. Again those mass elements are not impressive enough to satiate the viewers. The story of the film is age old one. Over the film is average. The movie is not bad as long as you do not mind scenes like hero escaping from death because of an 'Anjaneya Dandakam' that comes in the backdrop. We have to wait and see if Sreeram turns out to be a birthday gift (born on 26th June) for Uday Kiran in the form of a hit or not.
