    Was a bit ahead of its time, enjoyable.

    An extremely enjoyable thriller comedy, a must watch for those who would like to watch a truly 'different' movie in Telugu. Starts off with a lengthy chase and ends in a much longer chase but more enjoyable than the opening one. There are very few dialogues, and even those spoken are right to the point and realistic for the situation in which the characters are placed. Ravi teja is natural, Charmee speaks her own dialogues in Telugu but does not seem out of place.Acting by all involved is quite good and the script is quite taut. Some cons are a) music is a bit loud at times (a RGV characteristic) . b) though the film is quite short at less than 1.5 hour, it could be a bit more shorter.

    Indian film-noir at last

    a little pruning would have made this film less tedious. the constraint, as many film buffs from Indian diaspora know, is the time. total filming was done in five days except probably for patch work. once you know the time constraint under which the film was made, you can better appreciate the picture.

    the camera used for the filming was canon 5d.the picture is absolutely on par with the regular celluloid films and sometimes even more sharper.

    anything about the script would only be a spoiler. you just can't classify it in either comedy or thriller. it's both.

    only ramgopal varma could have done it and you can only admire the way he is able to reinvent the whole process of film making after being in it for over two decades.
