After
'King",
Nagarjuna
again
signed
for
a
film
from
the
same
producer
and
his
close
friend
Sivaprasada
Reddy
introducing
Kiran
as
director.
The
film
shooting
took
a
little
long,
as
Nagarjuna
was
preoccupied
with
his
son
Naga
Chaitanya"s
debut
as
hero.
Even
after
the
completion
of
the
shooting
and
other
formalities,
the
release
was
delayed
further
due
to
various
circumstances
and
finally
hit
the
screen
on
February
12.
There
were
lots
of
expectations
on
the
film
as
the
trailers
released
earlier
evoked
lots
of
response.
However,
the
director"s
immaturity
clearly
reflected
in
the
film
and
Nagarjuna"s
outstanding
performance
failed
to
help
the
film
to
say
a
hit
and
turned
an
above
average
fare.
Ramesh
@
Rummy
(Nagarjuna)
is
fond
of
cricket.
His
father
(Tanikella
Bharani)
always
beats
him.
He
falls
in
love
with
Janaki
@
Sweety
(Mamata
Mohandas)
in
his
childhood
itself.
But
fearing
her
father,
Janaki
refuses
to
elope
with
him
and
advises
him
to
earn
money
first
and
then
ask
for
her
hand.
He
takes
the
wrong
path
in
his
quest
for
money.
He
goes
to
Goa
to
escape
from
the
police
and
encounter
Chandra
(Ankur)
from
whom
he
earns
Rs
100
at
Guntur.
In
Goa,
Rummy
goes
to
a
casino
and
starts
fleecing
money
from
Chandra's
casino.
He
meets
Linda
(Nadia)
who
is
searching
for
her
sister
Sara
(Poula).
He
helps
Linda
to
find
her
sister
and
thrashes
Victor
(Kelly
Dorge),
who
kidnapped
her.
Noticing
his
helping
nature,
Linda
proposes
to
Rummy,
but
the
latter
refuses
her
love.
Once,
Rummy
comes
to
know
that
a
millionaire
is
getting
his
daughter
married
and
is
presenting
a
valuable
necklace
worth
Rs
50
lakhs.
Rummy
hatches
a
plan
to
steal
it
and
as
per
the
plan
he
needs
a
girl
to
act
as
his
wife.
Rummy"s
assistant
Arshad
(Harshavardhan)
introduces
Sandhya
to
Rummy.
Though
Rummy
successfully
steals
the
necklace
Sandhya
doesn't
accept
money
wants
shelter.
Chandra
calls
Rummy
and
tells
him
to
bring
a
bag
and
settles
deal
for
Rs
15
lakh.
After
successfully
stealing
the
bag,
Rummy
comes
to
know
from
another
gangster
that
it
has
powerful
RDX
and
double-crosses
Chandra
as
he
offers
Rs
1
crore.
While
escaping
with
that
Rs
1
crore
along
with
Sandhya
and
her
son
Varun,
Chandra"s
men
attack
Rummy
and
Sandhya
decides
to
keep
off
from
Rummy.
At
that
moment,
Rummy
comes
to
know
that
Sandhya
is
none
other
than
Janaki,
his
childhood
lover.
PERFORMANCE:
Nagarjuna"s
performance
is
ultimate
in
this
film.
He
once
again
showed
lots
of
maturity
in
his
performance.
He
showed
perfect
comedy
timing
and
aggressive
show
in
action
scenes,
while
subtle
in
sentiment
scenes.
Though
he
is
getting
older,
his
physique
is
a
perfect
fit
and
the
cinematographer
Sarvesh
Murari
showed
him
in
a
very
handsome
manner.
He
shook
his
legs
with
utmost
precision
in
songs
and
once
again
proved
why
he
is
being
called
'Greeku
Veerudu" in
Telugu.
Mamata
Mohandas
is
average
in
the
film.
She
has
very
less
scope
to
perform
and
even
the
glamour
quotient
is
also
very
poor.
She
could
have
a
better
looks,
had
she
taken
some
more
care.
Ankur
of
'Slum
Dog
Millionaire"-fame
is
good
as
a
villain
and
casino
owner.
Harshavardhan
had
a
lengthy
role
in
this
film
and
he
utilised
the
opportunity
well.
Brahmanandam
was
wasted
in
the
film
and
he
failed
to
tickle
the
funny
bone
of
audiences
like
his
other
films
with
Nagarjuna
such
as
'Manmadhudu".
Anushka
sizzled
in
the
title
song
by
making
a
special
appearance.
But
she
failed
to
grab
the
adequate
attention.
TECHNICAL:
Cinematography
by
Sarvesh
Murari
is
fabulous
as
he
perfectly
captured
the
landscapes
and
nature
of
Goa
well
with
his
camera.
Nagarjuna
looked
quite
younger
with
the
precautions
taken
by
him.
Editing
by
Saravanan
is
okay.
Music
by
Sandeep
Choutha
is
average
and
failed
to
grab
the
attention
of
the
audiences.
Except
a
couple
of
songs,
most
of
the
songs
are
not
so
catchy,
while
some
of
them
are
too
slow.
In
other
words,
it
is
a
big
let
down
and
proved
a
draw
back
for
the
film.
Production
values
of
Kamakshi
Kala
Movies
are
adequate.
The
director"s
immaturity
was
the
major
minus
point
for
the
film.
The
narration
is
obsolete
and
the
average
audiences
could
not
digest
the
kind
of
narration
as
they
were
cut
in
bits
and
pieces.
Moreover,
the
placement
of
songs
is
not
appropriate.
However,
the
film
is
not
boring
due
to
good
comedy
timing
by
Nagarjuna
and
the
action
scenes.
ANALYSIS:
Though
the
film
did
not
reach
the
expectations
of
the
audiences
in
general
and
Nag"s
fans
in
particular,
the
running
of
the
film
is
okay,
as
there
are
no
boring
scenes
in
the
film.
The
director
chose
to
keep
songs
and
action
scenes
alternatively
to
force
the
audiences
to
stick
to
the
seats.
However,
with
the
upcoming
release
of
Naga
Chantanya"s
'Yem
Maya
Chesavo…",
how
far
this
film
would
shake
the
Box
Office
is
not
yet
known.
The
film
can"t
be
claimed
a
hit,
but
remained
an
above
average-farer.
By
going
to
the
film,
one
doesn"t
feel
bad
as
a
waste
of
money
and
at
the
same
time
the
film
could
not
expect
repeat
audiences.
