Analysis

Mahesh Babu is very stylish with his stylish new hairdo. His mannerism in this reminds us the scenes of Pokiri. In emotional scenes his acting abilities score good marks from the audience. He mixed entertainment in fights in the first half. Other characters did justice to their roles. Sunil, Brahmanandama and Venu provided good comedy. Heroine Amrita Rao looked quite gorgeous in her appearances. She emoted well in the scenes. Ashish Vidyarthi managed to look funny as well as furious.


Action: It is the important part of the film that arrests our attention. Fights in the second half are planned well.

He continued same reckless characterization/mannerisms he enacted in Pokiri. He made sure that he mixed entertainment in fights in first half. There are quite a few emotional scenes in which Mahesh Babu gave perfect performance. Probably this is the first film in which Mahesh created
