Analysis :
Ravi Teja is in his elements as long as he played the role of mischievous brat. His comedy is very good in the first half. His antics with Siddanthi and the way he curses himself in front of the mirror is hilarious. His dances are mass oriented in this film and the movements are little awkward at times. Sneha is cute and homely in heroine's role. But she did not have much active role to play in the film. Her mass steps in songs are artificial (especially steps in last song composed by Ashok Raj). Ashutosh Rana is fair as the villain. Chitram Seenu and Srinivasa Reddy are OK. Mallikharjuna Rao as Siddanti Jagadamba Chowdary is good. Dharmavarapu Subramanyam provided some entertainment. Brahmanandam and Venu Madhav provided good train comedy. Tanikella Bharani and Delhi Rajeswari played parents of hero. Raasi did an item song. Ravi Teja's brother Bharat played a vital role.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film has entertainment though there is no story. And second half has crime element. The movie falls flat in the second half as the suspense point is revealed too soon. Seek and hide game in latter part of second half is not interesting. The climax fight is picturized in front of Raj Bhavan (Residence of AP Governor) and no policeman is seen at the gate to stop the nuisance. And one wonders why Ravi Teja is wearing light beard even during the time of police training. The main strengths of the film are Ravi Teja and entertainment in 1st half. We have to wait and see if Ravi Teja can pull enough crowds with his image and reputation to make this film a hit.
