The mafia man request Zamindar to sell off the land, but Zamindar relents. In the process, mafia man kills Zamindar and burns the Veda School with children packed inside. Hayagreevachari also dies in this incident. Vivekananda Sharma wants to ignore everything and lead a peaceful life in some other town. And his past catches up with him. The rest of the story is all about how he decimated the bad guys to save the local public from evil.
Analysis :
This role is a very typical one for Sai Kumar, except that his get-up is new. K Viswanath is terrific as Veda School's head. His dialogue delivery and upright mannerisms added to his character very well. Madhu Sharma is adequate, but did not have any role except for following hero. Ambika is good as mother of hero. rahmanandam is wasted in a comedy role.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is mediocre. Second half is pretty heavy with unnecessary fights and over-done dramatization. The only positive aspect of the film is the fantastic work done by K iswanth. Sai Kumar isappoints again with this routine film. We have to wait and see how this film fares in B and C centers.
