The film is made on beaten track. The initial scene recalls
the pick from Amitabh’s old flick ‘Deewar’
(boot polishing boy going anger with the person who throws
away the coin for him). The total narration scheme of the
film sounds old and reminds many films those were made in
past.
KaKa (Prakash Raj) is
the third rate dirty guy who is ready to do anything
for the sake of money.
A politician Srinivasa Rao (Kota) comes
on his way through out his activities. This makes KaKa
get irritated and conspires to kill him.
Srinivasa Rao is a politician who lives
with societal interest. Finally Kaka kills Srinivasa
Rao.
Then Munna (Prabhas) an Osmania University
student comes into society scene and vies with Prakash
Raj.
Then the childhood rivalry of
Munna with Kaka also reveals out. Rest of the film is
about the fight between Kaka and Munna. The film runs
with many twists till the end.
Dosages:
Action: 60 percent
Sentiment: 20 percent
Comedy: 3 percent
Drama: 17 percent
Prabhas
acted really well and his hairy look is impressive.
Ileana is only a dummy in the film and she
has no role to play.
A couple of songs projected her hot and
sensible.
An item song with Shriya is sensuous.
Kota Sreenivasa Rao’s performance
with soft role is good.
Prakash Raj’s performance as villain
appears to be on beaten track.
Harris Jayaraj’s music is impressive
and trendy. But the tunes are not so catchy.
Vamshi Paidipalli’s effort as director
is good. Dil Raju didn’t compromise on production
values and delivered the best.
First half of the film goes
with routine track while second half runs on several twists.
The story is on beaten track and comedy is almost insufficient.
Ravi Babu could spill little humor but he is not used well.
Venu Madhav’s comedy didn’t bring laughs.
Sentimental dose in the film is at moderate level and action
dominates on the whole.
