It
has
become
very
common
among
the
directors
these
days
to
prepare
a
story
based
on
the
image
of
a
particular
actor.
Though
they
claim
that
they
have
prepared
a
tailor-made
story
keeping
his
style
and
body
language
in
view,
it
finally
comes
out
as
a
role
which
the
hero
had
already
played
in
his
career.
Gopichand
gave
hits
like
Ranam,
Lakshyam
and
Okkadunnadu.
Once
again
he
comes
out
with
a
similar
action
flick
through
Sauryam.
Another
speciality
is
that
Anushka
is
paired
up
with
Gopichand
for
the
second
time
in
this
flick,
while
popular
cinematographer
Siva
has
made
his
debut
as
director
through
this
movie,
besides
providing
story
and
screenplay.
Vijay
(Gopichand)
is
the
son
of
a
goon,
who
gets
killed
in
an
encounter.
Vijay
could
not
feed
his
sister
Divya
(Poonam
Kaur)
after
they
become
orphans.
When
some
missionary
people
take
girl
orphans
to
an
orphanage,
Vijay
lies
that
he
doesn't
know
who
is
Divya
with
a
hope
that
she
would
get
meal
every
day.
Though
he
repents
at
a
later
date
as
Divya
starts
disowning
him.
A
rich
couple
adopts
Divya
and
take
her
with
them
and
Vijay
cannot
trace
her
address.
Meanwhile,
Vijay
is
brought
up
by
a
sincere
police
officer
(Saratbabu)
and
he
becomes
an
ACP.
Vijay
becomes
an
encounter
specialist
with
his
daring
and
dashing
acts.
He
doesn't
know
what
is
fear.
This
makes
him
develop
enmity
with
Sivaram
Goud,
who
is
a
big
gangster,
amassing
crores
of
rupees
through
land
mafia
and
other
such
affairs.
He
has
been
in
the
habit
of
killing
all
those
police
officers,
who
try
to
put
him
behind
the
bars,
with
the
help
of
his
son
(Ajay).
Vijay
warns
Sivaram
Goud
to
mend
his
ways,
but
he
does
not.
At
this
juncture,
Vijay
comes
to
know
that
his
sister
is
in
Kolkata
and
decides
to
go
there.
So
he
applies
leave
for
six
months
and
he
informs
his
superior
officer
(Benarjee)
that
he
is
going
to
meet
his
sister.
That
crooked
police
officer
leaks
the
matter
to
Sivaram
Goud
and
the
latter
finds
the
weakness
of
Vijay.
So
his
goons
too
set
out
in
search
of
Divya.
Though
Vijay
meets
Divya,
he
did
not
reveal
their
relationship
as
he
doesn't
know
whether
she
will
accept
him
or
not.
On
learning
that
Sivaram
Goud
is
also
in
search
of
Divya,
Vijay
becomes
her
bodyguard.
Incidentally,
Sivaram
Goud's
son
catches
Divya
and
Vijay
attacks
and
kills
him
for
trying
to
kidnap
his
sister.
In
order
to
take
revenge
for
his
son's
death,
Sivaram
Goud
abducts
Divya
and
threatens
to
kill
her.
This
makes
her
realise
that
Vijay
is
none
other
than
her
sister
and
pardons
him.
The
film
ends
on
a
happy
note
with
the
killing
of
Sivaram
Goud.
PLUS:
The
excellent
ease
of
Gopichand
in
action
scenes
is
the
highlight
of
the
movie
and
the
action
scenes
in
the
movie
definitely
evokes
claps
from
the
front
benchers.
The
action
scenes
and
lot
of
bloodshed,
the
heavy
blasts
of
vehicles
and
other
action
scenes
give
the
film
an
excellent
mass
appeal.
Gopichand
is
at
his
usual
best.
He
has
not
only
shown
good
ease
in
action
scenes
but
also
emoted
well
in
sentiment
scenes
too.
At
the
same
time
he
has
shown
good
comedy
timing
and
director
Siva
has
been
able
to
extract
good
comedy
from
Gopichand.
Anushka
has
filled
the
glamour
slot
and
does
not
have
much
scope
to
perform.
Manoj
K
Jayan's
villainy
is
novel.
Ajay
is
okay
in
his
role,
while
Poonam
Kaur,
who
plays
the
sister
for
the
hero
is
appropriate.
Others
have
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
MINUS:
Though
the
film
is
basically
an
action
film
with
sister-brother
sentiment
and
love
in
its
backdrop,
the
show
of
too
much
violence
and
bloodshed
is
unnecessary.
Though
the
director
had
a
good
grip
in
the
first
half
and
maintained
good
suspense,
he
lost
the
same
in
the
second
half.
Especially,
during
the
narration
of
the
flashback,
the
director
has
unnecessarily
stretched
some
scenes.
Though
the
time
was
made
good
use
for
evoking
comedy,
it
has
really
bored
the
audience.
Marthand
K
Venkatesh
should
have
pruned
these
scenes
to
prevent
damage.
The
climax
was
also
very
poorly
shot.
REMARKS:
Camera
work
by
Vetri
is
worth
the
compliments.
Music
by
Manisharma
is
partly
good.
Only
a
couple
of
tunes
are
catchy.
Once
again,
the
director
has
tried
to
utilize
Anushka's
glamour
to
woo
the
audiences.
As
a
mark
of
sentiment,
scenes
like
Anushka
boozing,
and
using
her
butt
and
waist
are
repeated
in
this
film
too.
The
film,
though
may
not
go
well
with
the
city
audiences,
would
definitely
attract
the
mass
audiences
especially
in
B
and
C
centres.
It
is
a
film
that
could
be
watched
once
for
those
who
love
action
movies.
