Professor Tagore (Chiranjeevi) takes up the mission of eradicating corruption in unlawful society by unlawful means. He creates ACF (Anti Corruption Force) with a gang of his ex students. He selects 15 corrupt officers from each department and kills the most corrupted one so that others would fear the death and do their job with honesty. Likewise he kidnaps MROs (mandal Revenue Officers), SPs (superintendents of police) etc and kills the top corrupted ones. The police is on the prowl to identify the mysterious killer. In the meantime, he exposes the hospital authorities greediness by taking a corpse there. He makes those greedy corrupt doctors (who pretend that the patient is alive) operate the corpse. He there by exposes the system. A police driver Suryam (Prakash Raj) makes an independent enquiry and gets all the clues that lead to the killer under cover, Tagore that is. The film is all about how Tagore created awareness among the public about corruption and how he became the most adulated demigod in the state with his noble mission.

Analysis :

Chiranjeevi is at his best, be it in histrionics or looks. The performance of Chiru in emotional scenes (when his wife dies and when his ACF members die) is awesome. He is looking very glamorous in this film and last time when we saw Chiranjeevi so glamorous was in the film 'Master'. His dialogue delivery in this film is very controlled one, yet very effective. The comedy mannerism in the flashback is also interesting. It goes without saying that he is best, as always, in dances and fights. Shriya played an unimportant role in the film as a girl who falls for hero. Jyotika is pretty good in her short role of hero's wife in the flashback. Sunil played the role of a cook in hero's house who feels that heroine is in love with him. His comedy is OK. But his 'Veena Step' really created laugh riot in the theater. Prakash Raj played the role of a cop who is on prowl to uncover the killer. He is apt for the role. Sayaji Shinde made his debut in Telugu with this film. He is effective. He dubbed his own voice in Telugu. Punit Issar played an impressive role in this film like he did for Indra. K Viswanath did the guest role of chief minister. VV Vinayak gave a special appearance as one of the ex students of the hero. The scene involving him has emotional touch with lots of sentiment attached to it and he performed it very naturally. He should consider acting on a big scale in the future. Kota Srinivasa Rao acted as a top police officer who is pretty lazy. Actor Jeeva is reduced to set property. The comedy generated through Narsing Yadav through a couple of fights is good.

TeluguOne Perspective :

VV Vinayak proved his mettle in directing big stars with this film. His taking is very stylish and rich. Though he maintained very high standards in taking, he made sure that the screenplay is gripping enough to tell a simple story in a powerful way. Vinayak seems to have mastered the art of narrating climax in an interesting style with a logical conclusion. He did perfect characterization to the hero role. He elevated the hero's greatness through the words uttered by the people around him. Its definitely the best work till date by VV Vinayak.
