A stale and confusing tale, the story begins with a team of criminals which has four men and a beautiful woman (Raghuvaran, Jackie Shroff, Rahul Dev, Abbas, Veda). The mastermind (Jackie) sketches a plan and the team get successful in robbing a bank of a mammoth hundred crores. However, the bag containing the money is in the hands of the mastermind only and he gets shot while fleeing. With great care, he dumps it in a well and prepares a map with his blood and gives it to a tea vendor on a highway informing that his team will come. Quite miraculously, the team does go to the same tea stall on the highway, they take the map and reach the spot only to find that a big home has been built on the well. In no time, they enter inside, hijack the home, begin to torture the members of the home in order to get the blue print. Finally they manage it and the excavation work begins. Are they successful in getting the money? What happens to the members of the home? Does the mastermind come back? All this forms the rest of the story.
Analysis :
The director has come out with a rather flimsy storyline and added to that was his poor narration and amateur presentation. The dialogues were dull, the script was loose with many flaws, the screenplay was weak. Music was nowhere near the moods and the songs didn't help much, camera was just about okay but had few disturbing angles, dubbing was in high decibels much to the annoyance of the audience, editing department was missing. Costumes were too rich and did not suit the backdrop. Raghuvaran somehow was very eccentric in his act, Jackie Shroff could not salvage much either due to a very threatening dubbing, Rahul Dev was grossly misused, Abbas had no choice but to stick his face on the screen, Veda as usual came out with a rather misfitted role, Pooja was sexy but her presence is limited, Sreedhar Rao was brief. The others need no mention here.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The film fell flat on its face solely due to the poor logic and the absolutely bizarre aspects of the story. While the first half goes about sketching the loot plan and the aftermath, the second half goes on with the torture done to the inmates of the house and also to the audience. There are some really visible flaws that a sane mind can never explain. The director is the whole and sole person to beblamed for making a mess of such an impressive cast and probably a good plot. The film will sink in no time.
