Artistes’ Performances:

• Ravi Teja did justice to his role.Though there isn’t much variation in 3 roles, he fits the bill.
• Ileana is just okay
• Sunil,Satya and Vennela Kishore comedy is also not great. Just for few laughs
• None of the villains have a strong role and they are just namesake villains.
• Abhimanyu Singh as FBI officer did a decent job

Positives:

• Production Values

Negatives:

• Routine Revenge Story
• Routine Sreenu Vaitla’s Forced Comedy
• Songs and BGM
• Villain’s Characterization

Analysis:

Sreenu Vaitla, who has been going through a rough phase partnered with Ravi Teja, who is also going through very bad phase. Mythri Movies bankrolling this project created some hype and we all thought Sreenu Vaitla will bounce back with this movie. However, he disappoints big time and he didn’t get rid of his forced comedy tracks. He created a WATA org mocking Telugu Organizations is US and it doesn’t bring any laughs. The much hyped Satya’s character doesn’t bring any relief either. Music is forgettable. Would be a consecutive disaster for Mythri Movies. There is nothing to rave about the film. Stay away from it.
