Performance: Rahul Ravindran delivers his best. He looks handsome in most of the scenes. His body language is appreciable. Reshmi Menon grabs the attention of the audiences with her traditional looks and glamour. Her cute smile created magic on the screen. Her emotions and expressions have been depicted very well. Rao Ramesh as doctor justifies with his role. Ambati Srinivas tested the patience of the viewers with his stale comedy. Rest of the cast performed accordingly.
Technical: The storyline of the film is simple and predictable. The Cinematography work handled by Amarnath Reddy is impressive. Editing by Varma could have been better as there are many drags in the first half of the film. There are many drags in the first half. Sunil Kashyap attracted with melodious tunes. But the placement of couple of songs tested the patience of the viewers. Background score is good. Production values are good.
Analysis: Raj Satya came up with a love story to taste the success. But the silly and stupid comedy spoil the entertainment level. The slow-paced narration coupled with predictable screenplay makes the movie sluggish. There is nothing special that can grab the attention of audiences at the theaters.
