Analysis :
hakar played a role of Saakshi and Chiru's buddy, who has the habit of telling only truths, there by leaking the valuable information at the critical times. Ramya and Saakshi excelled in their roles. But its hard to see the glamour doll Saakshi in a sentimental role (a la Rachana in Bavagaru …. ). Chandra Mohan, AVS and Vijaya justified their roles of limited exploitation. Rambha acted(danced) in a very well pictured mass song as hip shaker and pelvis thrasher.
TeluguOne Perspective :
This role of Chiru suits the likes of Jagapathi Babu and Shobhan Babu. There is absolutely no Heroism in this role. Chiru fans (First day matinee crowds) are slightly disappointed with the movie. Only song which made them dance in the movie hall is "Hey Rukku Rukku Maa'm". Fate of this movie depends on how family audiences receive the movie. Even at the time of "Bavagarooo .." audiences felt that the role of Hero is best suited to Rajendra Prasad to Chiru. Lets wait for the final verdict by Andhra Audiences in the weeks to come.
