    Funny and Spoofy!!!!

    First Time ever in Telugu or Probably Indian Film History a film has came which've started a new Era of Comedy, and its Srinu VAitla Again he never stopped audience laugh,

    Story goes like a King dies and another man with same features found and blah blah blah!! i say it was trash but i think srinus idea and target was Just about Comedy, He spoofed lots of movies and people who are unaware of this thought he copied from that movies, but its called spoof, "paapam" :p

    scenes to remember:

    1. Brahmanandam Intro Scene and next 15minutes

    2.Engagement Scene in Hyderbad "Twice" Jampak Jampak :d

    3. Chandramukhi Spoof Scene

    4. Sunils usage of Boddu Srinu

    5. Srihari all Painting Scenes

    6. Sriharis Visit to Sharaths Place

    7. Samajavaragaman Scenes even in second half

    and Climax at temple Obviously

    Performance is Good, especially Nagarjuna is Back as a King of Comedy, he reminded Manmadhudu, trisha is good for her role, and and and Srihari Was Superb, his language and Timing are perfect he portrays a Telengana Settelment Gangster, a perfect hyderabadi, and his lingual using PUNGI made me laugh for days, I've watched this movie lots of time because of him and Brahmanandam, he never disappoints he spoofed lots of real life music directors, sunil as usually rocked by his timing.

    music was good and entertaining, all songs are performable in functions, Kings and Boddu srinus Bg was ultimate DSP is the Rocker, technical could have been perfect no issues of direction and cinematography but visual were OK, Finally get your DVD, another srinu Vaitlas promising Comedy as Better as Dee & Ready.

    Can watch it at leisure time...

    Seenu Vytla is an expert in screenplay. But the screenplay of this film is both good as well as bad. Good because the screenplay is extremely complicated. Bad because the finesse is missing. The director could not evenly distribute the twists in the film. He has one twist coming in interval. And he let all other twists come in the last 15 minutes of the film. The best thing I liked in the screenplay of the film is the thread of hero stealing the identity of Sunil. It is beautifully written, but was not used to the maximum extent. The concept of fetish for painting horror images was already done in Seenu Vytla's 'Anandamanandamaye' film. It is more effectively used in this film (especially the three drops scene).Direction of the film is adequate. The director could have made Srihari character little serious as he is shown as a completely innocent man. The film needs a lot of trimming in second half from the moment the gang enters King's palace.

    First half of the film is alright. Second half should have been better. The climax of the film looks contrived. The plus points of the film are Nagarjuna and a few 'Seenu Vytla' kind of comic moments. The weakness is unevenly distributed content in the film. We definitely expect a better film from Seenu Vytla for the kind of talent he possesses. We have to wait and see how audiences embrace it.
