Story: Vamsi(Sharvanand) is an orphan and grows up as a thief. Vamsi meets Maaya Master(Srihari) in a jail. Vamsi falls in love with Satya(Priya Anand) a classical dance teacher, who teaches to kids and is more interested in playing public awareness dramas in rural areas. Vamsi wants to leave the profession and live happily with Satya. but destiny has other ideas for him and he becomes a part of a robbery. What happens after that is what the movie is about?
Performances: Sharvanand has come up with yet another wonderful performance. He is natural in almost all the scenes be it a romantic number or talkie part. Priya Anand is good. Srihari once again comes up with decent performance needed by the director. The remaining cast are mostly new comers. The plot of the film is good but there are plenty of loop holes in the way it’s narrated. The first half is completely scattered. The second half is better in terms of focus. Art work and Editing are good. Screenplay is weak. The Direction is good in few places.
Analysis: Anish Kuruvilla who earlier directed Avakai Biryani(2008) directed this flick. Sharvanand produced himself under “Sarvaa Arts” banner. Sharvanand and the team raised expectations with the Music, Promos and the publicity much before the movie’s release. The Movie received an ‘A’ certificate for the Violence and Coarse language used.
Sharvanand once again impresses us with his subtle yet strong performance. The romantic thread suited to him aptly as if subtle love tracks are meant for him only. Priya Anand is good. She performed well. She looked cute and homely in those cotton Punjabi suits and Sarees. Srihari is realistic, he just behaved like a thief who lives in the slum and does anything for money. The supporting artists are mostly new and looked raw.
The comedy track(drama) in the flashback episodes is boring and tests your patience. This the worst comedy thread of recent times which failed utterly in evoking laughs and is bit irritating at times. The Dialogues are okay in few places(most of the dialogues are muted which has filthy language). The Music is okay with a couple of slow numbers and the Background score(Ko ante Koti theme) was good but the rest of the BGM is loud and the re-recording overlapped the dialogues at times.
The Director and his team experimented with new screenplay very much similar to Bollywood realistic raw movies(directed by Anurag Kasyap, Vishal Baradwaj). The Director lost grip over the scenes in the first half and concentrated more on the behavior of the characters. Realistic movie directors like Anurag and vishal purely concentrate on the backdrop and nativity of the people and then place the character in extreme circumstances and take out the output. The back robbery was also not up to the mark. Some scenes reminded of Hindi flick Johnny Gaddar (Neil Nitin Mukesh).The director failed in making it a thrilling experience. The introduction of the Characters through Sharvanad’s voice over was good experiment.
The repeated glimpses of the flash back(black & White) love story of the hero is shown ‘n’ number of times for every 15 minutes which is boring. The whole first half- an- hour time is taken to introduce the characters. The movie slows down once the love story begins. The firts half lacks clarity. The second half is better when compared to the first one. The gang(friends) of the robbery team failed in elevating the emotional content and touch the Audience in the second half. Art work is impressive with mostly realistic locations and feel. Cinematography is okay. The songs are well shot. Editing is good. The production values are okay.
The Director and Producer(Sharvanand) should be commended for coming up with an experimental non routine flick but could have tasted success if executed well. We have to wait and watch how the Multiplex(Target) Audience receive this experiment as this movie is not for the masses.
Plus: Sharvanand, Srihari
Minus: Screenplay and Narration
Verdict:Movie disappoints due to bad execution. Keep away if you are looking for a regular commercial flick

Dil Raju Clarifies on Aid for Pushpa 2 Stampede Survivor
It has been a year since the tragic stampede during the release of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, which claimed the life of Revathi and left her son, Sri Teja, critically injured. The child has been undergoing continuous rehabilitation ever since.
Earlier today, several social media posts and web portals circulated unverified reports claiming that Sri Teja’s father, Bhaskar, was struggling to meet medical expenses and that Allu Arjun had allegedly not responded to their request for further assistance.
Producer Bunny Vas, a close associate of Allu Arjun, promptly refuted these rumours, stating that the actor has been fully supporting the family from day one. Later in the day, producer Dil Raju — appointed by the Telangana government as a mediator between the family and Allu Arjun — also stepped in to clarify the facts.
Dil Raju met Bhaskar personally to assess Sri Teja’s current medical condition. He confirmed that Allu Arjun had provided ₹2 crore to the family immediately after the incident, which was placed in a fixed deposit in Sri Teja’s name, and had additionally borne ₹70 lakh worth of medical expenses for the child’s treatment. The monthly interest generated from the fixed deposit is being used to support both the ongoing medical needs of Sri Teja and the family’s living expenses.
Speaking to the media, Bhaskar said he had requested Allu Arjun and Allu Aravind — through Dil Raju — for additional financial support to extend Sri Teja’s rehabilitation for a few more months to aid faster recovery.
Dil Raju confirmed that Allu Arjun responded positively and agreed to provide the necessary funds to continue the child’s treatment for the next six months to a year, until Sri Teja makes a full recovery.
