Analysis :
Sumanth should be appreciated for taking up such a role. Though it is the protagonist role of the film, his character is not of typical Telugu film hero. He did well. Sada is pretty in the role of female lead. Ravi Varma is good as the bad guy. But it is Sharwanand who steals the show. He is pretty cute and he could communicate lot of meaning with subtle expressions. Kamalinee mukherjee has small yet xtremely vital role and her character wins you over in the latter part of the film. Sunil is alright in the role of Baddu. Kota, Giribabu and Sudha are apt.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The last twenty minutes of the film is good with right emotions and a interesting screenplay. But the build up towards that last 20-minutes should have been done better. The plus points of the film are screenplay and the last 20 minutes. On the flip side, characterizations, style, pleasing music and youth-orientation is missing in the film. We have to wait and see how regular movie goers react to this different flick.
