Story:
A stale tale, the story begins with Chakradhar (NBK) who is a noted actor in the Telugu circuit and he gets into the skin of any character he plays. He also has a big fan (sheela) who tries to woo him and is in love with him. However, Chakradhar’s mother (jayasudha) is not interested to see her son doing films and wants him to join the Indian army. The story takes a turn with the arrival of few army officers (murali Mohan and others) who meet Chakradhar and narrate the story of one Major Jayasimha (NBK again). In no time, Chakradhar gets into the skin of Major Jayasimha and changes his approach. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come up with an okay storyline and while the presentation was alright, the narrative required lot of improvement. The dialogues were good at places, the script was weak and had very few catchy moments. The screenplay was terrible. Background score was catchy and there are only two songs worth listening. Cinematography was the saving grace and gave a natural feel. Editing was average. Costumes were trendy while the art department looked fine. Yet again, Nandamuri Balakrishna infuses life into the two characters he played though it was not etched that well. His body language was strong and few dialogues got whistles and claps. Sheela gave visual feast as required and nothing more. Ameesha Patel was brief, Neha Dhupia was okay. Nagineedu made his presence felt. Jayasudha was effective. Murali Mohan was moderate, the comedy track between Brahmi, Ali and Hema was very tasteless and a bit vulgar. Raghu Babu and Krishna Bhagawan were not used to their fullest potential. Others were hardly there.

Conclusion:
The major flaw in the film is its weak narrative and the lack of depth in the script. Until the interval, there is nothing much happening except for few time pass sequences. The real story begins only in the second half and the climax could have been fine tuned in a better way. Overall, this is a film that might get few accolades for Balayya, thanks to his various get ups but success at the box office is not very likely. It will take some aggressive publicity and if only the comedy track was worked well, the impact would have been different.
