Review: The
film is a little bit above average. Story of the movie is not something unique
and creative. Whole of the movie is based on Nagarjuna performance only which
no doubt is good one. Other characters roles in the movie are less and that too
not solid one. Fight sequences are good. Songs of the movie are average. As a
whole, movie is just an average with a good performance of Nagarjuna.
Stars given: 2.5 out
of 5.
