Analysis :
Actors are always grappling with the conundrum as to whom are they making their films for. For the general public who look for something serious and sensitive or the section of dedicated fans that want formula stuff? In these days of crass commercialization, most actors, play safe, and fall for the latter. NTR Jr is a typical case in point. The actor with raw energy and robust enthusiasm has a set pattern to his films that showcase his strengths. Dances oozing with rhythmic gusto, fights spilling guts, blood and some more, sentiments that make you to reach for your kerchief and some comic interludes aimed at your funny bone. And in between, if possible, try and affix a story. This is NTR Jrs blueprint for success. And he has been successful all the while with this and so you dare not question this.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The story line is such that the film banks heavily on the heroes mass appeal. NTR Jr does not flag at any point. Despite his over plumpness, NTR Jr is fulsome in whatever he does. He never flags. In dance. In action. In emotion. In everything. He gives off his best. He knows the film revolves around him and carries the burden manfully. Prakash Raj as the main villain tends to go over the top in many places. He has his moments but he also gives the impression of being too stylized and can be accused of hamming at several places. His role also ---- a cardboard caricature --- also lets him down very badly. The other small villain Mansur Ali Khan (as the hideously named McDowell Mani) is eminently forgettable. In such films, the heroines have very little to do and so it is with Genilia and Bhumika (each nicely hived off into each half). Both look good and add the requisite glamour. Acting? Well, look out for that in their next film. Venu Madhav and Krishna Bhagawan provide some light-hearted mirth. The music by Mani Sharma is too loud for ones ears and the songs are just rhythm-infes.
