First half is really superb. But the second half lacks the tempo and the climax sequences defy the logic. We are informed that villain can be killed only if he gets to human form, but the evil force doesn't go into any human body, yet Anushka kills him. How come?
Performances Anushka has given knockout performance in the role of Jejamma. She is backbone of the movie and she succeeds in delivering what she is asked to. All her efforts have really paid off. But she is not that effective in her latter role and also in a scene where she is required to dance, her gait and steps are amateurish. She should have taken care on that front. For the first time, she has done performance oriented role and also dual role and her tall figure is best suited for the role of bravery Jejamma.
Sonu Sood as evil force and womanizer king is exceptional. He brings venom on to the screen with his deadly looks as Satan and the dubbing given by P Ravi Shankar is another strength. Sayaji Shinde in the role of fakir has given wonderful performance. After Anushka and Sonu Sood, his character plays the major role in the movie and he has delivered it with finesse. Other cast is okay.
Technically, the film is on high standards. First and foremost, the credit should be given to the screenplay writer and then the creative director ( Rahul Nambiar). Screenplay is racy and there is a never a dull moment. Visual effects in the supervision of Rahul Nambiar are awesome. Ever dependable Senthil Kumar comes out with excellent visuals once again and provides camerawork in tune to the theme. Songs are weakest part of the movie but Koti makes it up with his good re-recording. If the songs are good, the film could have been even better. Ashok Kumar's set work is first class. The fort set deserves special mention. Editing by Marthand K Venekatesh is also plus point. The film has less run time compared to regular Telugu films. Producer Shyam Prasad Reddy should be commended for his vision, passion and guts to make a film like this.
Best Parts
Racy screenplay, visual effects, Anushka in the role of Jejamma and Sonu Sood are strengths.
