Venkatesh's
Acting
It
is
Venkatesh,
who
has
taken
the
entire
responsibility
to
run
the
show
all
through
the
movie.
Though
he
has
tried
his
best,
he
could
not
save
the
film.
The
title
song
has
been
shot
in
a
trendy
manner
and
the
costumes
are
quite
lavish.
Few
dialogues
penned
for
him
have
some
punch.
However,
the
director
failed
to
fill
the
intensity
in
his
character.
He
showed
good
ease
in
songs
and
dance
sequences.
Taapsee's
Performance
In
Shadow
Taapsee
Pannu,
who
played
the
female
lead
appeared
quite
romantic
and
glamorous
after
a
long
time.
However,
she
has
no
scope
to
perform
in
this
movie.
Srikanth
is
good
as
a
tough
police
officer
in
this
movie.
Comedians' Performance
In
Shadow
Comedy
by
MS
Narayana
and
Jayaprakash
Reddy
give
a
little
relief
for
the
audiences.
At
the
same
time,
Krishna
Bhagawan
and
Vennela
Kishore
have
failed
to
tickle
the
funny
bones
of
audiences.
The
movie
had
some
light
scenes
only
when
they
appeared
on
the
screen.
Other
Artists'
Performance
Other
artists
did
justice
in
their
respective
roles.
It
is
not
known
why
the
director
kept
the
spoofs
of
some
hit
films
like
Gabbar
Singh
and
some
other
NTR
films.
The
selection
of
villains
is
very
poor
in
the
film.
Aditya
Pancholi
could
not
do
justice
as
villain
in
the
movie
and
the
audiences
will
get
to
see
villains
like
Rahul
Dev
and
Supreet
in
Telugu
films.
The
director
has
failed
to
make
use
of
veteran
artistes
like
Gita
in
the
movie.
Madhurima
could
not
get
any
break
once
again
with
this
movie.
Technical
Departments
Prasad
Murella's
camera
work
fails
to
attract
the
audiences.
Though
the
producer
has
spent
a
fortune
on
the
movie,
the
richness
could
not
be
seen
on
the
screen.
The
lighting,
shades
and
the
camera
angles
fail
to
help
for
the
success
of
the
movie.
Marthand's
editing
too
is
poor
as
the
visuals
originally
were
not
so
good
to
watch.
Thaman's
re-recording
is
just
average,
but
the
tunes
for
the
songs
are
not
so
attractive
and
foot-tapping.
Meher
Ramesh's
Direction
Finally,
the
only
one
to
blame
for
the
failure
of
the
film
is
none
other
than
the
director.
The
story
selected
for
the
movie
is
outdated
and
old.
At
the
same
time,
the
movement
of
the
flick
is
very
slow
and
average.
Neither
the
script
of
the
movie
nor
the
screenplay
has
any
novelty.
The
director
has
failed
to
attract
the
audiences
in
any
angle.
Though
the
film
has
a
whole
lot
of
senior
artists,
he
has
failed
to
make
use
of
any
of
them.
Leave
alone
the
subject
matter
of
the
film,
at
least
the
comedy
tracks
penned
are
not
impressive.
Verdict
The
poor
climax,
ill-conceived
concept,
improper
cinematography
and
very
poor
music
(songs)
made
the
entire
film
unwatchable.
The
talent
of
Venkatesh
has
almost
been
wasted
because
of
the
poor
direction
of
Meher
Ramesh.
Watch
the
film
if
you
are
a
hardcore
fan
of
Venkatesh.
Or
wait
for
the
DVD.
