Story

King (Nag) is a man of ideals and principles and he grows up with ethics and wants to do good to the people around him. However, male members of his own family (Jayaprakash Reddy, Sayaji, Krishna Bhagawan) are greedy people who just want the wealth and try to make the most of the property, King has also got an arch enemy from ages in the form of Bhagat Singh. One unfortunate incident takes place and King is shot dead, however the family is told that he is still missing. Meanwhile, the city of Hyderabad has Gnaneshwar (Srihari) who is the ruling don but soon he finds competition in the form of Boddu Sreenu (Nag again) who begins to create trouble. Added to that, Sreenu falls in love with Shravani (Trisha) who is the sister of Gnaneshwar. He poses to her as a software engineer Sharath knowing her real background and at the same time plays a game of hide and seek with Gnaneshwar as Sreenu and Sharath. As fate would have it, those who have been searching for King get to see Sreenu and mistake him to be King. He is brought to the palace under a new story and they have their own plans with him. But then, though everyone has their own sketch, Sreenu has come with his own sketch and how he counters all the difficulties and tries to unearth the real killer of King forms the rest of the story.

Artistes and technicians

Nag has come out with a stupendous performance and he will be a treat to his fans with this movie. Moreover, though he has put on so many years of age, it is not seen in his body language or looks. That is a surprising factor, he has mixed the class and mass role very well. Trisha looked beautiful and did her bit with ease, Mamta looked ravishingly hot and she provided enough visual feast though her presence was limited. Jayaprakash Reddy was regular, Sayaji was not used correctly, Krishna Bhagawan was regular, Geetha was elegant, Ajay was alright, Supreeth was a surprise. The comedy team of Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav, MS, AVS, Sunil and others did their bit to add value to the film. The highlight performance of the film was Srihari who came in with an outstanding body language and dialogue delivery.
The others were alright. The director has used a predictable storyline and he has been able to deliver it well through his tight screenplay and neat script. The narrative of the plot was well done and the presentation was top notch, the credit for this goes to some really good background score and songs, camera also was remarkable especially during the action sequences. Editing was good at all times but then it could have been more sharp at few scenes. Costumes were elegant. The other departments also contributed well to the film.

Highlights

Comedy
Songs
Technically good

First half and second half

The film seems to have taken a strong belief in the tight screenplay and adding elements of humor at the right time. The plot was presented with few twists but though it wanted to keep the suspense alive, it was getting obvious. The good thing is though it was getting obvious, the scenes have been engaging enough to cause entertainment. There is a lot of quality in the technical values and the content so the mass audience will find this appealing. The song with the eight beautiful heroines is a highlight indeed and has not happened before. The film will surely turn out to be a reasonably comfortable hit.
