Performances:
Krishnudu
Yetagain, he has come up with a good performance and not many challengesfor him in this one. He has done his best in carrying the film on hisshoulders throughout and did a fairly good job. His body language andfew dialogues bring smiles and make him look much cuter and perfect.
Saranya Mohan
Sheis looking sweet and her performance is also good. She has gotwonderful photogenic features and for the role she suited best. Shecertainly loots many hearts with her cute expressions and naughty smiles.
Rao Ramesh
Hehas done justice to the role and has come up with some highlightdialogues and catchy scenes. This is a different character he has doneunlike his earlier movies and he makes his presence felt. He is tryingto imitate Prakash Raj knowingly or unknowingly in some scenes and thatshould be avoided.
Yendamuri Veerendranath
He has given few stiff expressions in front of the camera. But his character is interesting although little.
Bharat Reddy
Though he had a brief presence, he gave his best shot and there are few places where he made his presence felt very well.

Analysis:
This is the sincere attempt by the director, and he scores good encomiums from all sectors of audiences. He has knitted the movie with all dexterities that a hero should possess. It is an eye opener for many directors those are showing heroes as smugglers, professional killers, thieves and robbers. The film condemns ‘ridiculing mythology’ which should be underlined. That’s a good lesson.
Itis the effort that really appeals as it is made with honesty andsincerity. The film is a clean flick and it has enough ingredients toappeal to the family audience but then it doesn’t have that sort ofmomentum and pace.
There are no idle moments due to its good presentation. Background score was ok, songswere worth, picturization was top notch. While the first half is quitemild, it is not until the second half that the real tempo begins.Overall, the film is good in parts but could have been better. So itcan be appreciated for its efforts than anything else.
