Nithin,
who
was
introduced
to
the
film
industry
by
Teja
with
Jayam
had
a
couple
of
hit
films
to
his
credit
and
shot
into
fame
with
Sye.
However,
he
had
no
notable
hits
to
his
credit
in
the
recent
past.
His
film
Ram
Robert
Rahim
failed
to
see
the
light.
Again
he
made
a
desperate
bid,
by
teaming
up
with
his
debut
film
heroine
Sada,
in
Takkari
but
that
movie
failed
to
reach
expectations.
In
a
fresh
bid
to
win
the
hearts
of
people,
Nithin
teamed
up
with
Kaajal
Agarwal,
who
has
successive
hits
to
her
credit
with
confidence
that
her
luck
would
bring
him
the
cheers.
AS
Ravikumar
Choudary,
who
gave
a
hit
like
Yagnam
wielded
the
megaphone
for
this
movie
Aatidista.
Jagan
@
Chinna
(Nithin)
is
the
son
of
an
industrialist
called
Lion
Rajendra
(Nagababu).
He
never
allows
any
injustice
to
be
done
in
front
of
his
eyes
and
can
not
get
good
education
unlike
his
brother
(Raviprakash)
or
sister.
However,
his
mother
(Jayasudha)
pampers
him.
He
too
has
good
affection
towards
his
parents.
Once,
he
accidentally
meets
a
girl
called
Sunanda
(Kajal)
and
loses
his
heart
at
first
sight.
Though
Sunanda
hates
his
behaviour
in
the
beginning,
she
realizes
that
he
is
a
good
boy
and
falls
in
his
love.
On
the
other
side,
Bonala
Shankar
(Dr
Sivaprasad)
is
an
MLA
and
he
has
several
factories
that
manufacture
cigarettes,
cigars
and
other
tobacco
products.
He
rises
to
the
level
of
MLA
with
his
goondaism.
As
there
is
a
protest
against
his
tobacco
factories,
he
takes
the
help
of
another
industrialist
Raghunath
(Raghuvaran),
a
rival
of
Lion
Rajendra.
As
Rajendra
and
Raghunath
are
at
loggerheads,
none
of
them
are
able
to
prosper
in
their
fields.
So,
Chinna
suggests
his
father
to
join
hands
with
Raghunath.
Rajendra's
friend
(Chalapati
Rao)
mediates
as
he
is
the
common
friend
for
Rajendra
and
Raghunath.
Instead
of
making
them
partners,
he
advises
him
to
turn
relatives
by
marrying
his
daughter
to
Chinna.
At
this
juncture,
Chinna
tries
to
save
Sunanda's
friend
Jyothi
from
suicide
bid
and
learns
that
she
is
pregnant
because
of
Bonala
Shankar's
son.
In
the
process,
Chinna
can
not
meet
Sunanda
and
the
latter
feels
bad
and
returns
to
her
house
from
hostel.
Chinna
realizes
that
Sunanda
is
none
other
than
Raghuanth's
daughter
and
feels
happy.
Learning
that
Bonala
Shankar's
has
become
a
thorn
to
the
business
of
his
father,
Chinna
plays
a
mind
game
and
puts
Bonala
Shankar
in
trouble
to
solve
the
problems
of
both
his
father
and
Jyothi.
The
film
ends
on
a
happy
note
with
the
union
of
Sunanda
and
Chinna.
PLUS:
Nithin
has
improved
his
performance
and
is
much
better
both
in
body
language
and
histrionics
than
his
earlier
films.
He
also
appears
more
fair
in
this
movie.
He
has
shown
good
ease
in
dances
and
action
scenes
and
he
has
improved
his
body
with
fantastic
muscles.
Especially,
his
dance
in
the
introductory
scene
and
again
in
'Sorry
Sorry'
song.
All
the
action
scenes
are
choreographed
in
a
stylish
manner.
Kajal
Agarwal
is
gorgeous
all
through
the
movie
and
she
has
also
showed
good
ease
in
dances
and
put
up
good
performance
in
sentiment
scenes
too.
Another
notable
performer
in
the
film
is
Dr
Siva
Prasad,
who
has
shown
good
villainy
in
the
first
half
and
comedy
villain
in
the
second
half.
Nagababu,
Raghuvaran
and
Jayasudha
are
adequate
in
their
respective
roles.
MINUS:
The
slackness
in
direction
is
very
visible
after
the
interval
bang.
The
director
has
show
good
grip
over
the
story
in
the
first
half.
However,
the
film
takes
a
twist
as
a
mind
game
in
the
second
half
which
diluted
the
spirit
of
the
film
and
the
audiences
felt
bored
at
the
shouts
of
the
villain,
who
turned
from
a
serious
villain
to
comedy
villain.
The
appearance
of
the
heroine
is
also
very
negligible
in
the
second
half.
Nagababu's
character
should
have
been
etched
well
and
Raghuvaran's
character
is
also
not
moulded
well.
The
villainy
of
the
artist,
who
played
the
son
of
Dr
Siva
Prasad
is
also
not
properly
established.
Music
by
Chakri
is
good
in
parts.
Cinematography
by
Jawahar
Reddy
is
also
adequate.
REMARKS:
Director
Ravikumar
Choudary
too
poured
cold
water
on
the
expectations
of
Nithin
to
make
a
comeback.
If
the
director
was
able
to
maintain
the
tempo
in
the
second
half
like
the
first
half,
it
would
have
been
a
big
hit.
But
it
is
not
the
case.
However,
the
dialogues
scripted
by
Ravikumar
Choudary,
especially
some
satires
on
the
political
system,
media
and
channels
evoks
good
humour.
It
is
worth
watching
till
the
first
half
and
the
entire
second
half
had
nothing
much
to
talk
about.
