Story: A well knit tale, the story begins with Anuradha (kriti) a bank manager who falls in love with Ravi (raja) and gets married to him. A job offer makes him travel to another city. However, one MMS received by Anu shows that he has been kidnapped by Shahjahan (murali sharma). The demand is for Rs 2 crores. Meanwhile, Nookayya (Manchu manoj) is a cell phone thief and he is an orphan who has Charger (vennela kishore) as his best buddy and an uncle (paruchuri). Nookayya sincerely loves Shilpa (sana khan), a bar girl and he wants to earn a lot of money to marry her. Few situations cross the paths of Anuradha with Nookayya and he becomes responsible for saving her husband’s life. But there are bigger shocks waiting for both. All that forms the rest of the story.
Presentation: The director has come up with a different storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was good in parts. The dialogues were good but few had double meanings. The script was written with average value and screenplay was having few jerks. Background score was excellent and three songs are nice. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was required especially during the first half and few minutes after the interval. Costumes were natural and trendy while the art department didn’t have much to do. Manchu Manoj is all over the film and he has delivered very well. Kriti Kharbanda was simply beautiful and she was equally good in her performance. Sana Khan was sexy and is a visual feast. Murali Sharma was impressive. Vennela Kishore made his presence felt. Brahmi was hilarious. Raja revealed a different side to him. The others did their bit as required.
Conclusion: The film comes across as a wholesome entertainer and to an extent, it was right. However, there are certain scenes of hardcore violence and some double meaning scenes which could have been avoided. While the first half goes on a lighter note with elements of comedy, songs and some action, it is the second half where the actual story begins. Overall, the film has good technical values and action sequences. At the box office, the film has the potential to reach the profit zone without much problem.
IdleStars verdict: Passable entertainer, can be watched once .
