Story:

A thoughtful tale, the story begins with PJ (nani) who is filled with pride and headstrong nature. He dreams of owning the Rs 5000 crores property of his grandfather (nagineedu) as he is reaching major status. However, when the time comes, the grandfather's will is read out and it implies that PJ must complete his graduation in three years and that too at a college in Siripuram. If he doesn't, he would not get the property. PJ decides to go for it. There he meets more than he can chew. But what starts as a mission for property soon gets PJ into various situations and incidents which change his perspective towards life and people. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Artist performances:
Nani has given a sensible performance and he carries the role very well. Haripriya looks hot and seductive with her natural beauty. She deserves to be seen more onscreen. Bindu Madhavi was sweet but her role was limited. Srinivas Avasarala was effective and added good value. Ravu Ramesh was good. M S Narayana was impressive, Vennela Kishore was funny. Nagineedu was mild as usual. Sivaprasad was standard. Nani's group of friends was very good and brought a lot of humour.

Plus points:
  • Comedy
  • Making and taking
  • Dialogues
  • Locations and feel
Minus points:

  • Second half
  • Sentimental overdose
  • Excess Melodrama during second half
  • Weak pace in few scenes
Analysis:
The good side of the film is that the script has been met with a different treatment altogether. Luckily, most of the time the film is made on a lighter note and there is a very realistic approach to everything. Technically, the film has been made well and there are those few scenes wherein the energy levels come down due to slow etching at critical points. Overall, this is a film which suits the regular audience and family folks. At the box office, the film has good chances of success.
 
Verdict: Enjoyable but a bit slow in second half
