Story: Venkatesh and Sreenu Vaitla use the same formula to churn laughs.The director uses faction plot, romance, and Brahmanandam/Jayaprakash Reddy/Bharat to keep the story moving and garnishes it with plenty of songs.Instead of being content doing romance and fights, Venky wears his comedy coat and with Brahmanandam in the role of Paris Prasad on his side pull off a lengthy drama that ends predictably. Venky plays the role of a Venkatramana a ventriloquist by profession ,who's not married yet as his dream girl hasn't yet arrived. When she does, he is made to believe by her uncle that she is in love with him .The heroine is in love with Aakash but like in all films when they are about to get married, the hero attempts a sacrificial act and there is a change of heart in the heroine. To lengthen the drama, and to make it colourful, a faction background is added. This is not a brilliant or a novel movie but the strength lies in blending the humour into a faction narrative. Also it does not get onto the nerves of the audiences, with a good technical execution, picturesque locations and some sentiment towards the end that all good men are rewarded the film becomes complete. Trisha this time doesn't get much to do.Venkatesh and Brahmanandam performance is not upto the mark.Jayaprakash Reddy's did his job as far as his role is concerned.The script and screenplay comes to be a routine one and Vaitla tried to keep his audiences entertained with a bit of comedy as well as drama.Venkatesh's humour, average performances by the rest and on whole, the movie turned out to be an average one. Plus Points: Venkatesh dance for songs ‘Mr Perfect’ and ‘Ringa Ringa’ Minus Points: Routine comedy Music Analysis: There is nothing new about the story but could have done well with better screenplay  Master Bharat ,Surekha vani and Jayaprakash Reddy of Srinu Vytla team were not utilised to optimum. Brahmanandam does a good job as he brings out laughter in some instances and also covers up the pale performance of remaining cast. The Movie is not upto the mark and cannot be compared to Srinu Vytla's previous movies 'Dhee' and 'Ready'.Music could be much better. Verdict : Just an Average Movie
