What is bad: The film is unbearably long. Its just 2.5 hours on paper. But, without a full length story, it is highly difficult to make 2.5 hours a bearable time frame. Excepting the suspicion factor, there is nothing in the story. Only periodical events keep coming in. As the viewers become irritated with a spate of such incidents, towards the end, there are enough twists and turns in the narration to divert you from the fact that there is no story. It is embarrassing at places and very irritating at many. All those people who played small roles in the movie over-acted to the extent possible, since they knew that there is no scope to be noticed under Posani's shadow. The movie loses heavily in comedy sector. Vulgarity might have been bearable had there been some comedy breaks. There have been more vulgar scenes in Telugu movies, but never this straight. Perhaps, Posani believes he is frank. Perhaps not.
Me Thinks: I would not and cannot call it a wholesome entertainer. Perhaps there might be some possibilities of it appealing to the mass audience. I have even heard two people commenting it as a good movie. There were no whistles for any dialogue. There was not a single big laughter throughout. I would not outrightly show the audacity of asking someone to watch the movie. However, if you are jobless, desperate to watch some flick at any cost, carry on at your own risk. I would still say there are other options.
Tailpiece: Posani needs some re-thinking. This can't be a story writer's story. However, its his show all the way, and he emoted well within his limitations.
