    One of the best films in TFI in recent years

    As a fan of detective/thriller movies, I couldn't miss this and I'm even more surprised by how much I loved this movie which usually doesn't happen when I watch a hyped movie. So thankful to Naveen for bringing this brilliant mystery to Telugu audience and dealing with a subject that's making a fool of the innocents. However, the sad thing remains that the film is unable to reach that set of audience.

    Coming to the performances, Naveen just nailed it, the way he balances humor, emotion, and intelligence is commendable. Shruthi also did her job very well. It was good to see Suhas as the Kannada version of Agent (although he could've been used better). The screenplay was tight, always keeps you guessing till the end, lots of twists which don't seem to be coming. The pace of the film was so good that you can't think of anything else or search for goofs. The exposition in the film feels justified and that's not very common in Tollywood. There were little cons but that's negligible consider how power-packed the whole movie is, it's a must watch for everyone and I hope there's more to come from Naveen and Swaroop for the Telugu Film Industry.

    Didn't expect the movie would be so much engaging & interesting.

    First of all, this is not a comedy movie. It's a 100% crime thriller. Action, direction, story, bgm, screenplay all exceeded my expectation & is one of the best movie I watched. Well made. Suspenseful.

    Agent Sai, FBI.

    Thriller!

    It's an edge of the seat thriller with truck load of humour and a bit of emotions involved. Lead role carried the movie on his shoulders till the end. All in all,the movie was brilliant!

    Can't believe it is a Telugu film industry flick

    I gave high rating to this movie because it is worth. The concept and the storyline is first if it's kind. There are no songs, no dirty romance, no non purposeful heroins and supporting actors and most importantly no heros playing basketball with goons. You die fans of bada heros you what I'm talking about. Ultimately cannot believe it's a Telugu film industry flick. Potential to have a sequel and I will be waiting for it.

    Must Watch. Once in Lifetime Movie

    No profanity. No romance. No item song or duets. No bada or famous actors. But then this film is worth your money and time. The best Detective movie after Megastar's Chantabbai. Naveen Polishetty did a remarkable job and has proved a movie doesn't require all the above things if you have right story placed with right screenplay. Hatsoff to the debutant director Swaroop RSJ for giving such an interesting movie by trusting solely on the story. Background music is amazing, you will feel the tense and will be on the edge of your seats. Perfect Detective Movie.
