Performance
After the blockbuster Happy Days, director Sekhar Kammula has come up with a simple, serious but a great subject. Debutant Rana Daggubati (Nephew of actor Venkatesh) steals the show with his brilliant performance. He is extra ordinary in his diction, expression and voice modulation, setting up a unique style for himself.

Richa Gangopadhyay and Priya Anand does their part very well. The biggest asset of the film is it's wonderful screenplay and the realistic characterization of the hero. In addition to it Vijay C. Kumar's Cinematography and Thota Tharani's Art direction gives the film a rich look. A soulful romance in the second half reduces the pace in the second half but it is acceptable. Mickey J Meyer's music is already rocking the charts.
