The film opens strongly with Nagarjuna’s introduction in a fight sequence. The village scenes are portrayed realistically, avoiding over-dramatization common in commercial films. The director skillfully handles Nagarjuna and Ashika Ranganath’s bold and rustic love story, resonating well in mass regions. Nagarjuna’s charm and convincing portrayal are commendable, while Aashika shines in her role.
Allari Naresh and Raj Tarun’s characters lack significant involvement so far; their impact may unfold in the latter half. Shabeer Kallarakkal’s introduction as the antagonist takes an interesting turn, leading to a compelling interval block, especially appealing to Nagarjuna enthusiasts. The recreation of the Chain scene adds excitement to the festival-like action episode.
While MM Keeravaani’s background score could have been better, it still delivers well in certain parts of the film. Set in a village backdrop, the film explores various emotions, creating a festive atmosphere that is likely to attract a mass audience.
Well, the film, set in a village backdrop, lacks a racy screenplay like Soggade Chinni Naayana and Bangarraju. However, it delves into the drama without going overboard or becoming boring. It maintains its pace until Nagarjuna takes over the revenge part with a massive appearance on screen, setting the right tone in the last 20 minutes of the film. The Nagarjuna-Ashika Ranganath love story stands out in the movie.
It’s a film that completely focuses on village traditions. The realistic emotions and love stories occurring in these regions provide nostalgic vibes to the audience who connect with those who lived their life in the village culture and also to those who understand the village sentiment and values. Whether it’s drama or romantic episodes, the way the makers dealt with these elements was commendable.
We all admire Nagarjuna for his unique approach towards cinema. The way he broke the trends in the past has now been seen again with a unique approach to the love story, making it look convincing on screen. MM Keeravaani’s background score has given massive support to the love story. We wish he could have created more with proper songs rather than just settling for decent ones.
While the first half of the film promises everything for a festival-like experience, the latter half falls flat for a while but doesn’t make us feel bored. The last 20 minutes of the film, though, are a treat for fans of Director Ram Gopal Varma. It has been dealt with intense emotions, reminiscent of the Raktha Charitra franchise. The combination of Nagarjuna and MM Keeravaani provides a massive feast for the audience who love raw and rustic action drama.
The film would have been more compelling under a star director or a director with a grip on showcasing mass elements. However, coming from a debutant, the choreographer turned director Vijay Binni, it is promising to watch.
Aashika Ranganath elevating Nagarjuna, Allari Naresh’s emotional part, and the heavy climax set the right tone that will attract the masses in the latter half of the film.
Overall Verdict: It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, especially those attached to urban culture, but it’s a treat for the masses.
