Analysis :
Prabhas: Prabhas is pretty good in the role of Munna. He might not look so appealing in the stills and posters, but is good on the screen with his new hair-do. He is using similar kind of dialogue delivery in almost allsituations. He should try to modulate his voice as per the scene and emotions.His height and body structure brings believability to the fights he has done.MunnaIleana: There is a dialogue in the film in which a side character refers to Ileana's figure as 'front super. Back bumper'. That suits her pretty well. She is very good in this film. But unfortunately her role is limited to songs in the second half. She shares good on-screen chemistry with Prabhas. MunnaOthers: Kota is excellent as noble politician. Prakash Raj is very good as the main villain. Rahul Dev is competent in a vital role. Venu (Jai fame) has a very important role in this film and his comedy is good. Sridhar, Tanikella Bharani and Posani Krishna Murali are adequate. Heroine Kalyani did an insignificant role in this film. Shriya sizzled in an item song. Venu Madhav is okay.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The movie starts off on a dull note and meanders aimlessly till the dark secret is revealed before interval. The flashback episode is unappealing. There are a couple of surprises in the second half. The plus points of the film are Prabhas, stylish taking of the director and lavish budget. On the flip side, screenplay and narration should have been better. There is no holistic perspective in the film. Let us wait and see if Dil Raju's 'Midas Touch' works for this film or not!
