This movie has everything that a successful Tollywood flick needs, a larger than life hero who cannot act to save his life, a bimbo heroine whose skirts magically reduce an inch or more of length in songs, a family patriarch who is strict, a doting mother, a sister (who thankfully does not gets violated albeit she does gets drugged), 5 songs that sound stale (Trademark Thaman who like the director Srinu Vaitla rehashes the same tunes over and over again), slo-mo fight scenes with bodies flying around defying all earthly laws of physics, a brahmanandam comedy track that can barely invoke a simper (let alone a laugh) and so on. This is supposedly a "family entertainer for masses" movie that gets routinely churned out from Tollywood (and elsewhere in India too). Absolutely nothing new in the content and presentation. If you had seen Srinu Vaitla's previous films, you will have a feeling of deja vu because that's exactly this movie is, stale ! Ramcharan tries hard but he appears to be more wooden than ever. He dances well though. Rest of the people in the movie are just there as fillers. Yet another clichéd, predictable fare that makes you feel that probably watching a wet paint getting dried up is a better time-pass. The horror is that such movies rule and make the most money inspiring more clones and the eternal vicious cycle. I have no problems with mass movies if they do provide a wholesome entertainment or a fresh take. This one provides neither and is just a usual over-hyped movie. The golden moment in the film is Chiranjeevi's entry but it is too late to redeem it. But for him alone I give this movie 2 stars. If he had been the main lead, probably this would have been a different experience. IMDb says people who liked this movie also liked Aagadu, I think thats sums it up ! This one can be skipped and forgotten along with Srinu Vaitla's last venture Aagadu.
