Movie is really nice. Very interesting narration in the first half and entire second half is full of comedy sequences. The picturization of the second half songs is impressive, especially the song in which heroine wears school uniform. Remix song, Vennalaina song gives a rich look to the movie. Actually, I saw it on the Blu-ray with my Onkyo sound system, quality of the Blu-ray is awesome.

Movie is simply SUPERB. I could not guess that its going to be a comedy entertainer. Her eyes are haunting, I might have liked her because of her big eyes and enjoyed the back ground music on the Blu-ray.

I watched this movie as few friends in India recommended me saying it is a must to watch. I went to the theatre very reluctantly as I was not too sure of their taste. I went with my cousins who barely understand Telugu. First few minutes are not thrilling or exciting. I was thinking of why someone recommended me to watch this movie? As the movie is progressing, the story became interesting. Suddenly the story took a complete twist and changed the scene in the theater. Everyone in the theater was laughing till the end. It is one of the best comedy movies that I have seen recently. I again watched this movie on Blue- ray with friends. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The hero danced extremely well and actress eyes are definitely highlighted in this movie. More than anything, I enjoyed the comedy which is well experimented as the main theme in a semi-horror kind of movie. Overall it is a good experiment by Maruthi with his team which is quite evident by the huge collections and well received by the audience. The Blue-ray quality is good. Just a suggestion, don’t watch this movie alone, it is fun to watch with like minded people to double the enjoyment.
