NTR,
who
started
his
career
in
flying
colours
with
Oosaravelli
after
his
marriage
is
now
coming
up
before
the
audiences
and
made
his
efforts
to
show
his
Dammu
(might)
to
his
counterparts.
However,
NTR
has
again
put
up
his
weight
and
reminded
his
fans
of
his
earlier
films.
Boyapati
Sreenu,
who
gave
a
blockbuster
like
Simha
with
his
‘babai’,
now
teamed
up
with
‘abbai’.
Now
let
us
wait
and
watch
what
kind
of
miracle
they
are
going
to
make
to
win
the
hearts
of
the
audiences.
Though
Boyapati
chose
a
story
which
is
very
old
and
outdated,
he
tried
to
narrate
it
in
a
captivating
way
which
would
attract
the
fans
of
Nandamuri
clan
in
particular
and
mass
audiences
in
general.
Story:
Vijayadhwaja
Sri
Simha
aka
Vijay
(NTR)
is
an
orphan,
who
was
brought
up
in
city.
He
had
a
peculiar
interest
that
nobody
near
him
should
feel
any
kind
of
trouble.
If
he
finds
any
in
trouble,
he
feels
that
he
is
in
trouble
and
get
it
resolved
immediately
in
an
intelligent
way.
He
falls
in
love
with
Satya
(Trisha).
At
this
juncture,
Veeradurgam
(Kota
Srinivasa
Rao)
enters
the
scene
and
express
his
wish
to
adopt
him.
In
the
flashback,
there
is
a
big
rivalry
between
Vasireddy
clan
and
another
clan
led
by
Nazar.
Nazar
group
gain
upper
hand
and
decide
to
kill
any
baby
boy
born
in
Vasireddy
family.
Suman
and
Bhanupriya
of
Vasireddy
family
were
blessed
with
a
boy
and
fearing
that
Nazar
group
would
kill
the
baby
they
say
that
a
still-born
baby
was
born
and
escape
from
the
village
along
with
some
of
their
well-wishers.
Now
coming
to
the
story,
Vijay
comes
to
know
about
Veeradurgam
and
wants
to
help
him.
He
decides
to
go
in
adoption
to
Veeradurgam
and
enters
their
village.
Later,
he
realises
that
he
belongs
to
the
same
Vasireddy
clan.
Vijay
had
a
sister-in-law
called
Neelaveni
(Karthika).
How,
he
teaches
a
lesson
to
the
Nazar
group
and
prove
his
might
(dammu)
is
the
climax.
Performance:
NTR
did
a
great
job
and
took
the
entire
responsibility
in
making
the
film
interesting
with
his
punch
dialogues
and
perfect
comedy
timing.
He
also
entertains
the
audiences
with
his
typical
dance
moves.
His
weight
gain
did
not
hinder
in
his
dance
moves
and
powerful
action
scenes.
Thanks
to
Ali
for
adding
fuel
to
it
with
his
performance
and
wit.
The
heroines
filled
the
glamour
slot.
Trisha
plays
the
main
heroine,
while
Karthika
was
seen
as
a
seductress
heroine.
Other
artistes
like
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao,
Suman
have
done
justice
to
their
roles,
while
comedians
like
Brahmanandam
and
Ali
tried
their
best
to
tickle
the
funny
bones
of
audiences.
Ali
almost
succeeded
in
his
attempts
with
double
meaning
dialogues.
Nazar
excelled
as
villain
in
this
factional
subject.
Technical:
Arthur
A
Wilson’s
cinematography
is
extraordinary
and
Kotagiri
Venkateswara
Rao’s
editing
is
perfect.
Especially,
in
the
song
'Ruler…'
the
use
of
computer
graphic
effects,
the
artwork
and
the
picturisation
of
the
entire
song
is
superb.
The
song
is
really
mind
blowing.
The
choreographers
do
know
very
well
how
to
extract
the
real
power
in
him
and
how
to
attract
the
front
benchers
(mass
audiences).
When
it
comes
to
music,
Keeravani
gave
a
superb
music
in
songs
and
also
in
background
score.
He
perfectly
made
use
of
song-bit
in
‘Simhadri’
(Nuv
vigilesthe
Andhra
soda
buddi)
in
a
mass
song
like
Raju
vachchinaado...
All
the
other
songs
are
similarly
interesting.
The
re-recording
in
scenes
with
action
backdrop
is
mind-blowing.
When
it
comes
to
dialogues
by
M
Ratnam,
he
penned
some
punch
dialogues
keeping
in
view
NTR’s
forthcoming
political
entry.
Dialogues
like….
"Decide
ayyedi
akkada,
raatha
raasedi
ikkada,
geeta
geesedi
ikkada,
geetha
nilabette
dammu
undedi
ikkada" and
"Arachethilo
factoryilu
choopinchi
votelu
veyinchukovatledaa
sir",
evoked
huge
response
in
theatre.
Director
Boyapati
penned
story
though
very
outdated,
has
gaven
a
good
and
novel
narration
with
gripping
screenplay
and
impressive
direction.
Nowhere,
he
lost
grip
on
the
script
because
of
perfect
screenplay.
The
entire
film,
though
contains
gory
and
bloody
scenes
at
times
is
very
impresses
the
mass
audiences
and
front
benchers
in
general
and
fans
in
particular.
Boyapati
and
NTR
did
perfect
justice
to
the
story
like
Boyapati
and
Balakrishna
in
‘Simha’.
Though
family
audiences
may
not
like
it,
children
would
definitely
enjoy
the
fights
and
songs.
Remarks:
Sometime
ago,
a
senior
director
commented:
“How
new
stories
would
emerge
for
a
commercial
entertainer.
We
will
rehash
the
same
stories
with
small
changes
here
and
there.
The
difference
is
in
their
narration.”
True
to
this
comment,
Boyapati
too
cooked
an
old
recipe
in
a
novel
and
entertaining
way.
The
entire
first
half
is
entertaining
with
a
couple
of
action
scenes.
The
second
half
is
action-oriented
and
climax
is
mind-blowing.
