Story:   An entertaining tale, the story begins with Ajay (mahesh) a tough and honest cop who is out to get the bad guys. His father Shankar Narayan (prakash raj) is a very noble and highly regarded person among the masses. However, his enemies (kota, supreeth, sayaji shinde) plan and attack him. They think he is dead. But he is rescued and he keeps recovering. Meanwhile, Ajay is given the task to locate the dreaded mafia don Naik (sonu sood). Incidentally, even Naik is also linked to the condition of Shankar Narayana. The story takes a turn when Ajay gets to know about what exactly happened to his father. He decides to take revenge on all those who are responsible and what happens from there forms the rest of the story. Presentation:  The director has come up with a predictable storyline and while the presentation was neat, the narrative was strong. The dialogues were the highlight and they are very entertaining, the script was well written and the screenplay was apt. Background score was good and almost all the songs were hummable. Cinematography was effective. Editing was regular. Costumes were stylish while the art department was appealing and rich. Mahesh Babu has given a thunderbolt performance and he rocks with his looks and performance. Samantha was sweet but not enough meat in her role. Same problem for Sonu Sood as well, though he looks stylish he was not able to give that villainy. Brahmanandam was outstanding. M S Narayana was hilarious. Vennela Kishore was good. Sonia was okay. Nasser was natural. Tanikella, Chandramohan and other padding artistes did well. Don't' Miss Parvathi Melton and her item song, she was simply superb. Conclusion:  Yet again, the maker has come up with his standard formula but still he manages to engage the audience with good dose of humour. While the first half goes in various directions and creates an unrest, it is the second half which really makes up for all the hiccups and goes breezily. Despite the length of the film, there is enough comedy and entertainment which carries the audience. At the box office, this will appeal to Mahesh Babu fans, family audiences. So, success is strongly written on the cards.   Bharatstudent Verdict: Watch it!!
