It is not boring at any point of time. It raises a few questions in the minds of people of the society. The love lost youth finally consolidating his position is what the youths should follow. It is a warning in fact from this film for youths – especially boys.
The five guys Naveen, Sanjay, Rajkiran, Srinivasulu and Veda are screen stealers of this film. There are two well set tunes for this film. The cinematography is adequate. The punishment for the youths in the police department could have been brought down.
