Story: A supposedly psychological entertainer, the story begins with the life of the orphan Arya (allu arjun) and for some reason, he develops a strong affinity towards Ajay (navadeep), another orphan. Ajay's fortune changes when he gets adopted by rich parents, on the behest of Arya. In no time, he grows up to set up a software company and becomes a successful entrepreneur. Arya is unable to stay away from Ajay and he creates a set up wherein he gets roped into the same company as an employee. The story takes a turn with the arrival of Geetha (kajal), a new employee to the company. Both Arya and Ajay fall in love with her and what happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation: The director has come up with a rather confusing theme and though the presentation was excellent, the narrative was a letdown. The dialogues were alright, the script had many flaws and the screenplay was erratic. Background score and songs were top notch, cinematography was a show stealer with mesmerizing angles and frames. Editing could have been better, costumes were rich and the art department made its presence felt strongly. Allu Arjun did justice to his role and has portrayed few scenes very well, his dance is outstanding. Navadeep was competent and has given an impact. Kajal looks gorgeous and she is the perfect fit for the role. Shraddha was sexy as usual but not much for her in terms of performance, Brahmanandam was hilarious at few points, Ajay was excellent, Mukesh Rishi was justified, Sayaji Shinde was not able to shine, the others did their bit as required.

Conclusion: The film turns out to be rather complicated in terms of content and the message it is trying to convey. While the first half seems to be quite mild, it is just before the interval things begin to pick up pace. The second half has got twists in the tale but it is not until the end of the film that the entire confusion is revealed. By that time, the interest in the plot is let off by the audience. The technical and production values are amazing but the content and writing part has been a disappointment. The film might appeal a little to the urban audience but nothing for the masses.
