One thing is clear, this movie brings together some big powerhouses of talent in Jr. NTR (Chari and Narasimha), Brahmanandam (Bhattu) and director VV Vinayak. I've always liked Jr. NTR's screen presence ever since I saw Simhadri in the theatre. Here he plays a double role, switching between disparate characters effortlessly. The highlight of this movie is the Brahmin priest character he plays along with Brahmanandam, and they have amazing comedic chemistry together. Words can't do justice to describe the importance of Brahmanandam to the Telugu film industry but that's a story for another day. Nice supporting cast in Nayanthara, Ashish Vidyarthi, Nasser, Sayaji Shinde and Sheela Kaur.
I'd seen the comedy clips from this movie for several years before deciding to watch the entire film. I wasn't disappointed. The comedy felt fresh and almost all the jokes landed. In fact, after the movie ended I was left craving for more Chari and Bhattu scenes. The songs and BGM are nice, the action sequences are decent but could use some ruthless editing to cut down the length of the film. I think the director VVV has a great sense of what is entertaining for the Telugu audience and delivers it in abundance.
