User Reviews

Long lost script of 1980's re-discovered in 2004

I really wonder if the real intention behind the movie was to pay tribute or 1980's era of movie-making or give Balaiyyah a stiff competition. Every possible dose of masala you would find in a movie of 1980 is incorporated. Clearly Paruchuri Brothers are still living and enjoying their old era where cinematic liberties are at its best.

Nag's performance is OTT. A sensitive, sensible person like Nag succumbing to such levels is indeed pathetic state of affairs. One should appreciate the guts of Nag to believe in the story, produce it and even act in it. Should seriously get back to RGV and Mani Ratnam.

Raghuvaran does a la Rober De Nero including his signature smirk. In 1980's that was viewed as good acting, by today's standards it loud acting.

Rahul Dev is alright. Probably using this opportunity to keep himself busy and earn bread and butter in the process.

Suneel is turning into v2.0 of Kota.

PS: what kind of city is this? Where the pretty girl's brother is a goon?
