Analysis

 

Nagarjuna's another nephew Sushanth makes debut with this film. For a debutant, it is a decent project with time-tested formula of revenge and sentiment drama. Sushanth makes confident entry.

 

Although the film is just an okay, you can excuse faults for a debutante's movie. Director Ravi Charan Reddy has played safe game by choosing a very mass masala story that gives him chance to project the hero as down to earth - a trick that has been played several times in South Indian films. The newcomer seems to be more suitable for such characters too than lovestories.

 

The film emphasizes more on the hero and less on story. It is a regular masala drama but neatly packaged.

 

Performances

 

Sushanth is good for his debut movie. He has shown ease in dance. He has long way to go and needs to work more on expressions and diction. Tamanna looks very glamorous. She has gone for complete makeover from her Happy Days, she indulges in skin show.  Suneel's presence lifts up the first half. Jayasudha is okay. Vinod Kumar is not that effective as villain but Ajay does his role effortlessly. Kanal Kannan's fights are worth mentioning. Music by Chakri is mediocre.

 

Bottom-line!

 

Sushanth makes decent debut. A very formulaic film but okay for a debutante movie.
