      bogus

      In the name of rimake this movie is so annoying. Original one is far better then this.

      Story

      It's a official remake of Bangaldeshi flim "Aynabaji"

      Entertaining like other south flim but not a thriller like the actual movie Aynabaji

      Gayatri thrives on high voltage performance of Mohan Babu & Vishnu Manchu

      "Dasari Sivaji(Mohan Babu) loses track of his daughter Gayathri(Nikhila Vimal) right after her birth. He puts in constant efforts to find out the well-being of his child but fails many a time. As time passes by, Gayatri develops hatred towards her father for not being with her in difficult times. After a point, she comes to know the actual story and finds out that her father is not the one to be blamed.Finally, Sivaji meets his daughter and just when everything seems to be going well, Gayatri Patel(Mohan Babu) enters the scene and pushes the family neck-deep into problems. Rest of the story is as to how Sivaji comes out of this tricky situation and saves his daughter.

      Gayatri thrives on high voltage performance of Mohan Babu & Vishnu Manchu. The legendary actor is too good at portraying various emotions and this takes the movie to a whole new level. The variations that the senior actor shows while essaying two completely different roles is quite commendable. The movie runs on good family emotions as the lead cast does a decent job in making the film look more appealing.

      Manchu Vishnu impresses with his ease in acting and fluent dialogue delivery. He performs to the best of his capabilities and brings a lot of depth to the film. All his combination scenes with Brahmanandam evokes decent laughs. Shreya does well within her limitations and supports Vishnu nicely. Comedians Ali and Prudhvi played their parts well."

      There's no one like Mohan Babu when he plays another version of his onscreen persona

      "Mohan Babu playing a stage artiste, who's also a master of disguise. As a result, we have reel after reel of 'substantial proof' that there's no one like Mohan Babu when he plays another version of his onscreen persona. Call it indulgence or a solid attempt to re-introduce the legend of Mohan Babu to a new generation, his presence in the film is so overwhelming that the plot itself gets a secondary treatment.

      So, what is the plot? This is the story about Shivaji (Mohan Babu), a middle-aged man, who is a stage artiste by profession. On the other hand, he goes out of his way to fund orphanages across the country. Why? Because he believes that it might help him to meet his long-lost daughter. But fate has other plans, and after several twists and turns, he's forced to make a difficult choice when he meets Gayatri Patel (also played by Mohan Babu).

      High Lights: Background Score and Songs Story Mohan babu and Vishnu Manchu Screenplay Direction

      The combination of Mohan Babu and Vishnu Manchu is also a hit combo. When they all teamed up for ""Gayatri"", it reached expectations."

      Movie Is Good. But story is coping from Bangladeshi flim Aynabaji.
