The rest of the story is all about what happens to Appa Rao when his look-alike John spots him.
Analysis :
It is the director cum producer, who has to be found fault. He has no clarity on what he is going to show on the screen. Right from the beginning, his direction is too slippery and he has failed to maintain the tempo in the film. He should have maintained the suspense instead of revealing it before the interval bang. He has also failed to establish the heroine's character properly. Music by Kiran Varanasi is also not very impressive as almost all the songs are remixes.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Though Ali, Sunil and some other comedians have played heroes, the directors of those films used to highlight the hero to boost their image. But, Venkat has not laid any focus on the hero and instead highlighted the heroine. The director should learn certain things that the audiences will never watch whatever that is shown to them and outrightly reject them. Krishna Bhagawan too should avoid trying to play solo hero and better join some other, in case he really wants to play hero roles.
