Analysis :
Jagapati Babu who is looking for changing of image from a family hero to a mass hero has chosen the role of a mass character that inspires youth in this film. He justified the mass role. However, there are some scene where the projection of heroism of Jagapati Babu went little over board.Sonia Agarwal did the role of a girl who is in awe of Jagapati Babu. She is hot. Neha Mehta is sensible in her simple girl portrayal. Sony Raj and Swapna Madhuri did their bit. There are four youth heroes in this film. Except for Chaitanya Krishna, all others looked convincing. The comedy by Venu Madhav is hilarious. Ali's comedy is also good.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The first half of the film is average. But the second half is marred by too many twists and fights. This film is the first foray of Radhika's Radaan Mediaworks in the production of feature films. She has selected a seemingly potential storyline that has good scope for mass elements. But the execution is not good enough. We have to wait and see if this film helps Jagapati Babu to establish as a mass star.
