Hero Mahesh Babu has done his character well in his own style. The action scenes are very realistic in his performance. Shruti has done her portions well.She impresses audience with her looks and dance moves.

Songs are good and the back ground music is excellent in Devi Sri Prasad's composition. Madhi's cinematography strengthens the movie’s feel and the song sequences are a treat to the eyes.
