Performences:
Naga Chaitanay is back in his elements. Chay has two shades – one essaying a teenager role, in second half he sports a middleman look with bearded get up. In both the oles, Chay did fabulous job making us root for him. Debutante Divyansha Kaushik impressed with he histrionics. But it was Samanatha who stole teh show with her impeecbae acting prowwess especially in the emotional scenes.Other artistes include Rao Ramesh, who justifed their roles.
Analysis:
Siva Nirvana, who made his directorial debut with emotilan film- Ninu Kori has oce again chosen the same turf. Without any commerical aspects, Siva has narraed the tale realistically. The First half deals with romance, lot of fights while the second half narration turns emotional and sluggish at times. Gopi Sundar and Thaman music has hlped the proceddings. And the production values are rich, condiering the film was mostly shot in Vizag, raw and rustic look was captured successfully.
Positives:
Samantha
Emotianl scenes
Negatives:
Slow pace at times
Verdict:
Despite slow pace, its refreshing
