Neel alias Neelkanta (Upendra) and Agastya (Priyamani) are siblings. Purse alias Parasuram (Raja) is their buddy. The two police families get separated from each other as tragedy strikes thanks to the manipulation of their jealous colleague Naik (Suman). Twenty years pass by and Neel, now a dreaded gangster, thinks that his father was killed by Parasuram’s father (who is also no more). So, he wants to kill Parasuram, his buddy, to take revenge.

Interestingly, Parasuram, who works as Police informer, falls in love with Neel’s sister. After a couple of flashback episodes, Neel realizes his fallacy and wants to conduct the marriage of Parasuram and Agastya. When the duo (Neel and Parasu) are about the kill Naik (who is now Police commissioner), he commits suicide. But, in the climax Neel is shot in the chest. After death, Neel wishes good luck to Parasu and Agastya – as he travels amidst clouds- typical “Upendra style".

Upendra, is back in Telugu films after a big gap of five years, and he is terrific in his getup and dialogue delivery. He appears in a song sequence too much to the relief of his fans. However, his role could have been better etched out by the director. Raja does his job neatly, but gives an impression that he can shine in soft and romantic roles. Priyamani is glamorous and beautiful all through her characterization. She has done the blind girl act with ease. However, the return of vision at the climax is all dramatic and perdictable.

Kamna Jethmalani has some hip shakes and mediocre comedy. Ramya, who played the jodi to Upendra, looked impressive in her vamp-like role. Suman played the villain. Till the climax, his characterization is kept as a positive one. This is a plus point to the film. Krishna Bhagwan’s role as a corrupt police constable, Abhinayasree as his love interest, Ali, Venu Madhav are all good.

The story has some originality and novelty too. But, Priyadharshini Ram messed up things by knitting the screenplay too tightly and bad editing which gives a feel that they are not complete. Cinematography is average. There are some catchy dialogues in the film. Oka Abaddani Nijam Ani Padi Sarlu Ante Adhi Nijam Kavacchu. Kaane, Oka Nijanni Vandha Saarulu Abaddam Anna Adi Abaddam Kaadhu. Kanapadevanni Nijalu Kaavu. Nijalanni Kanapadavu. (A lie if told ten times as a truth can become a truth. But, a truth termed as a lie for hundred times can never be a lie. All that we see is not real. All that is real will not appear). Songs tuned by Mani Sharma is a great asset to the film.

Verdict: Average
