Performance: Sundeep Kishan delivers his best performance. His way of dialogue delivery, looks and body language impressed the audiences. Amyra Dastur performs well. Her natural killer expressions grab several eyeballs. She even stunned all with her lip locks. Tridha Choudhury looks fantastic in her role and she impresses everyone in glamour outfits. She got limited role to perform. Adith Arun is okay in his roles and has done well. Priyadarshi, Nassar, Geetha and others performed accordingly.
Technical: The storyline of the film is old but Manjula managed to present it in a fresh manner. The edition of nature’s aspect to the storyline of this romantic entertainer is new and the audiences should appreciate it. The production value is top class. Mahesh Babu’s voiceover is an advantage for the film Cinematography by Ravi Yadav is superb. He captured the nature’s beautiful locations and beautified the scenes. Editing is ok. The music by Radhan music is good. He elevated the scenes with good background score. The director could have added more twists and turns and few more entertaining elements to make it more interesting.
Analysis: Manjula Ghattamaneni selected a triangular love story to make her debut on screen as a director but she disappoints the audiences because of average screenplay, lack of strong connection between the lead pair, routine and predictable storyline. She tried to impress the audiences with bikini show and lip lock scenes but it worked out only to some extent. Few dragged scenes in the second half of the film tests the patience of the viewers. Rich visuals and some love failure moments are the main assets of the film.
