Performances:
Krishnudu: Krishnudu passes in every department but not in distinction. A sigh of relief is that, Krishnudu is not again the same expressionless, sympathy genertaing face as what we see in his past movies.

Subbaraju: Subbaraju steals the show with his good body language and movie picks up only after his entry.

Deepika : Deepika has very less to perform and she is not that beautiful. Deepika’s body structure and face features resembled that of TV and big screen artist Vidya (Arya fame).

Others:Benarjee, Surya, Uttej, Sangeetha, Shiva Reddy were just okay.


Analysis: The film runs on a wafer thin plot so a lot depended on how the scenes were executed and the strength of the screenplay. Both were missing and that’s what led the film to a bleak pace. It always looked like the actors gave their best effort but the involvement of the director looked minimal. Songs looked promising but they were not after two –three lines. Editing was aggressive which led to scenes getting cut abruptly. Primarily, it is the director who must take responsibility for the drawbacks since he could not handle it in the right manner and failed to draw the interests of the audience. That led to a chain reaction in the form of poor technical support etc. This might have a decent opening at the box office due to the presence of Krishnudu but eventually, it will fail to attract.
