Story: A light hearted tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Vizag and here lives Ravi (Allu Arjun) who is a sharp guy with strong common sense. But unlike the regular youth, he wants to make big money and that too in short span. He takes some money from his father (tanikella) and sets on proving his point. In this process, he chances upon Bittu (sonu) who is a notorious bank robber. Bittu and his gang rob a bank and Ravi manages to get him arrested. With this, his life is in danger and Ravi is sent by the police to Hyderabad for protection. He starts staying with ACP Sitaram Rao (rajendra prasad). He also meets Madhu (ileana) and falls in love. The story takes a turn when Bittu escapes from prison and he wants his money and revenge on Ravi. What happens from there forms the rest of the story. 

Presentation: The director has come up with a usual commercial storyline and while the presentation was appealing, the narrative was very impressive. The dialogues were excellent, the script was intelligent and the screenplay was entertaining. Background score was enjoyable but songs are a disappointment. Cinematography was top notch. Editing department did its job as required. Costumes were stylish and suitable while the art department was natural and colorful. Allu Arjun has given a good performance and though his regular enthusiasm was missing he was nice. Ileana lost her charms and looks bad, she must put on weight. Sonu Sood was worth. Rajendra Prasad was a show stealer and he did his bit very well. Brahmanandam was hilarious. M S Narayana was effective. Rao Ramesh was not used to his potential. Kota was neat. Dharmavarapu, Hema and others did their bit as required.

Conclusion: One of the toughest things to produce in films is comedy and if one has to come up with two plus hours of comedy it is quite a challenge. But the director has shown that very effortlessly and provided good entertainment. The first half goes on a mix of serious and lighter note with elements of romance, comedy and some action. The second half also goes with the same momentum but overall it is the humour that dominates. At the box office, the film has the right material to entertain the mass and class audience so a  hit looks very strong for this one.

IdleStars verdict: Intelligent and humorous!!
