Director Krish who has been branded as an intellectual director is back and this time he has teamed up with Daggubati Rana for yet another social message. Let’s see how effective it is

Story
B. Tech Babu (Rana) is part of a drama troupe and unlike the elders in the troupe he is very practical and plans to go abroad for higher education. But the death of his grandfather (Kota) and the ritual of dumping his ashes in their native village brings Babu to a different world.

It is the mining mafia of Reddappa (Milind) who rules those areas and has wiped out all natural resources. In this process, Babu also meets Devika (Nayan) a daring journalist doing a documentary on the mining mafia. From a very self-centered person, Babu makes a self-discovery and how he has to play an important role in it.

What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Rana is wooden faced as usual but he has definitely improved than the past. The efforts and hard work is seen. His physique is fabulous. If he can work on his diction and few expressions, he will rock.

Nayantara is a visual delight. Watching her even in action sequences sends a tingle to the spine. She is an effective performer, authentic beauty with natural seductive charms. Wonder what is that fixation she has for the nose stud, it doesn’t suit her at all.

Milind Gunaji has got a good screen presence but then his character was not really etched strongly. That power of a mining baron was missing in him.

Kota was brief, Brahmanandam was not that great, LB Sriram was excellent, Murali Sharma made his presence felt. Posani brought few smiles with his eccentricity. Raghu Babu, Hema, Sathyam Rajesh did their bit as required and contributed well. Sameera Reddy was a sizzler. Venky in his cameo is adequate.
