Story: Satya (Nag) is a courageous man with a kind heart and though he talks roughly, he is helpful. In this process, he helps GK (Dev Gill) from an attack. GK has a rival Peddanna (Pradeep Rawath) who is a very powerful person in Hyderabad. However, Satya uses his brain, joins GK and starts killing the men of Peddanna. Meanwhile, GK's interest Sirisha (Anushka) falls for Satya and starts wooing him. On the other hand, there is Ashtalakshmi (Priyamani) who takes the help of Satya and she also falls for him. However, Satya has got something in his mind and he has his own share of twists in his plan. What is that plan? Who is Satya? All this forms the rest of the story. Artist Performances: Nagarjuna has come up with a delectable performance and he scores with his handsome looks and classy outfits. Anushka provides ample glamour and is a visual feast to the audience, Priyamani also does something similar and performance wise, both ladies were above average. Brahmanandam got a lengthy role and though he takes off with some really entertaining comedy, eventually the graph comes down, Kota was superb, Pradeep Rawath was loud, Dev Gill was ordinary, Raghu Babu was regular, Dharmavarapu and master Bharat gave few smiles, Charmee looks awesome in her item song, Sreelatha was okay, Supreeth, Sushant, Shravan, Banerjee were standard. Plus Points:         * Nagarjuna's Looks And Body Language     * Anushka, Priyamani Glamour Show     * Brahmi's Comedy To An Extent     * Cinematography     * Fight Sequences Minus Points:     * Second Half     * Comedy Track Not Upto To The Mark     * Too Many Non Situational Songs     * Villains Not Shown Very Strongly     * Lack Of Depth During Emotional Scenes Analysis: The film is a typical commercial entertainer and as expected, it has the required quota of ingredients to be called a formula film. Though focus was seen on the presentation and the technical aspects, the makers should have worked on improving the comedy, increasing the strength of the storyline. At the box office, this will connect with the fans of Nag and may sustain for just few weeks. Verdict: Not up to the expectations. Disappointing!
