Abrupt climax
Analysis: The film has the trappings of Jolly LLB as a small-time lawyer who takes on a powerful and senior lawyer. All this is established so well in the film. The love track between Hansika and Sundeep is also etched well.
Songs are very good and there is not much boredom in the proceedings in the first half. Saptagiri and Posani’s kidnap episode is hilarious making the film look good. The film comes to a breakpoint quite effectively and the second half also starts with another major twist.
When you think the movie has become serious now and will be nail-biting, director Nageswara Reddy dilutes the plot and brings some over the top scenes. Some key witnesses are made fool off and Vara Lakshmi’s character becomes a spectator. The climax is also ended in a jiffy disappointing the audience.
The film is for the target audience who love oud comedies. So, watch it with that aspect as the film has nothing but a few laughs here and there.
Rating: 1.5/5
