But not before, Randev is born again as Indu’s relative and history repeats. Does Indu know her past? Is Harsha successful in his love? Go to the theatres and watch it.

Performances::

Charan::

Charan has come up with a mature performance and he has carried the film very well. Both his characters were done good justice and he reminded of his father at many places.Some of the steps That are done by him are Extraordinary in songs like 'Bangaru Kodipetta' And 'Panchadara Komma'.

Others::

Kajal looked bubbly, seductive and royal and she was the best choice. Devgill was a letdown as he could not emote that well, his act could have been tuned. Srihari was effective, Sunil was neat, Brahmi was regular, Sarath Babu was graceful, the others did their bit as per the standard.

Technical aspects::

The main life and soul of the movie is the graphics and the visual effects department. They were well supported by a masterly cinematography. The script was without any loose ends, the screenplay was neat and the background score was alright. Editing was crisp, two songs were worth humming, the picturization of the songs was good. Art department and costumes get full marks in this.

Director’s portrayal::

The director has been careful not to divert anywhere and he has shown his gift of narrative during the second half. Though the content was not much, he has been able to use his experience and kept the audience engaged. The storyline of the film finds traces of Hollywood flicks but then he has converted them enough to suit the Telugu audience.

Highlights::

The film should be watched for undergoing an unspeakable experience with the following::

The bike adventure in first half

The Set of Udayagadh replicating the 16th century empire city

Background sound that brings Goosebumps
