Siddhartha (Mahesh Babu) is a medical college student. He and his friends believe in serving the society like soldiers. They come across a goonda-turned-politician Pappu Yadav (Irfan Khan), who is robbing the society. Siddhartha decides to teach him a lesson and abducts his bride Varalakshmi (Trisha) when his marriage is about to take place. Siddhartha starts blackmailing Pappu and gets all the promises made in elections fulfilled. Siddhartha also proves how bad a guy Pappu is and how he implicated him and his friends in a blast case, with the help of his brother-in-law Mondi Nani and Varalakshmi. The film ends with Mondi Nani killing Pappu as the latter ditched him and tried to kill him.
Mahesh Babu has done complete justice to his role and Trisha looks pretty and has come up with a good performance. Debutant villain Irfan Khan has also performed neatly. The dubbing though, lacks the punch and power. Prakash Raj plays another villain. As far as fights are concerned, they are picturised in a very stylish way, while the choreography of songs is excellent. With the use of Digital Intermediate technology in colour grading, the songs look pleasing to the eyes. The production values of Vyjayanthi Movies are excellent. The conversation with the judge before the climax where the hero claims that the country needs youth and selfless politicians like Puchalapalli Sundaraiah, Abul Kalam Azad and Guljarilal Nanda, is worth watching. However, the director could have avoided the crude satire against TV channels.
Guna Sekhar-Mahesh Babu combination has always aroused lot of curiosity among the audiences and media. The picturisation of songs and stylish action scenes vouch for attention. Indeed, the duo has lived up to their names.
