Performances:

Naga Chaitanya is back in his elements. Chay has two shades one essaying a teenager role, in the second half he sports a middleman look with bearded get up. In both the roles, Chay did a fabulous job making us root for him. Debutante Divyansha Kaushik impressed with he histrionics. But it was Samantha who stole the show with her impeccable acting process, especially in the emotional scenes. Other artists include Rao Ramesh, who justified their roles.

Analysis:

Siva Nirvana, who made his directorial debut with emotion film- Ninu Kori has once again chosen the same turf. Without any commercial aspects, Siva has narrated the tale realistically. The First half deals with romance, a lot of fights while the second half narration turns emotional and sluggish at times. Gopi Sundar and Thaman music has helped the proceedings. And the production values are rich, considering the film was mostly shot in Vizag, the raw and rustic look was captured successfully.

Positives:

Samantha

Emotional scenes



Negatives:

Slow pace at times



Verdict:

Despite the slow pace, its refreshing
