Cast

This is the first film for Vaishnav Tej, who impressed as a child artiste in Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan films, as a hero. But the average viewer may not remember that this is the first film for Vaishnav. Mega nephew Vaishnav Tej played the role of a poor boy named Aashi. Although it was the first film, the hero acted with great maturity. Acted very well in emotional‌ scenes. Kriti Shetty gave life to the role of Bebamma. Although it was the first movie .. she acted like a very experienced heroine. After Vaishnav Tej, Vijay Sethupathi is the most mature character in the film. This typical actor became involved in the role of a villain named Rayanam. Sethupathi's acting is the highlight of the film.

                 

Analysis

Prestige and love movies have come a long way in Tollywood. The poor boy loves the rich girl, and the heroine's dad interrupts that love for the sake of dignity. We finally saw in a lot of movies that somehow the hero heroines come together. Movies like this are also very common. Director Buchibabu tried to show this story in a new way. The director is half successful in selecting a typical actor like Vijayasethupathi, a hero from a mega family for his story. Although it was his first film, he showed the story on screen without getting bored.

    

But as long as you watch the movie, the scenes in many movies come to mind. Some scenes in the first half feel stretched. The romantic scenes between the hero and the heroines also go on as a routine. Even in the second half, many scenes are reminiscent of old movies. The only secret revealed in the climax is the highlight of the movie. The scenes related to Aashi's father Jalayya, the scenes from the pre-climax to the end provoke emotion. 

                         


The scenes between Kriti Shetty and Vijay Sethupathi at the end are impressive. Another highlight of the film is the music by Devisree Prasad. He expanded the range of the film with his own songs and background music. He enlivened some scenes related to the villain with his BGM. Shyam Dutt visuals are good. Naveen nooli editing‌ never mind. Production values ​​are close to the cinematic level. The director has been somewhat successful in convincing us that 'love is a whole new definition.'
