Agree with this review. I would rate this one with a 3. Interestingly Naveen Chandra had a good screen time and yet do not play any role in the narrative. Looks like the director thought he is giving twists by introducing a new villane every 15 min, but he was just passing time.
Until the late '90s, we saw Telugu cinema do all sorts of things but never lose its attention to the detailing of a film. Even if the central destiny of the hero was to beat up the arrogant villain in the climax, there was plenty of the banter with friends, arguments at home and fights with his girlfriend. The hero made you believe that he was one of the guys first.
But somewhere over the past couple of decades, Tollywood decided that all a good commercial film needed were a six-packed hero, an eye-candy heroine, a monochromatic villain and a rousing background score from S Tham....
