Performance ::

Nagarjuna: Nagarjuna has owned this film from the start to finish. He is good as an innocent Ramu. But the show stealer is Bangarraju, a big flirt and evergreen romantic. Nagarjuna is superb in this role where he seen in typical village zamindar avatar. At 55, he looks as handsome as ever. Heroines and Others: Lavanya is very good as a wife that is looking for some attention from her husband. Ramya Krishna is superb. Nasser did well. Sampath Raj is okay. Brahmanandam's comedy isn't effective. Anushka is seen in a cameo. Anasuya and Hamsa Nandini too appeared in a couple of scenes and a song.

Analysis ::

At festival time, one expects to watch clean family entertainers. Nagarjuna has cleverly pitched this film at this time.Stories with 'aatma' angle is not new to Telugu audiences but the way it is narrated in an entertaining way in a family setup is what works in the film. A simple story but the packaging is done by new director Kalyan Krishna is very appealing.The first half is breezy and goes smoothly with simple narration.

The second half turns a bit serious and also goes here and there in between but comes back on track before the penultimate sequences come in. Though the pace slackens in the second half, and the Yamalokam's graphics are patchy, the movie works because of Nagarjuna's performance and cool visuals.Drawbacks are pretty old story, and lack of touching moments. The tracks involving Nagarjuna with Hansa Nandini, Anasuya and Anushka are downright silly.All in all, the movie is perfect watch for Sankranthi festive time. Despite weak second half, it still entertains.

Verdict :: Its good family Entertainer For this Sankranti you must watch this film
