About Story : Political journalist Jayadev (Srikanth) unearths several scams made by a politician (Ahuti Prasad) who in turn invites him to have a discussion. The politician tries to bribe the journalist but honest Jayadev refuses to relent, and as they discuss, a group of Maoists attack on the politician and kill him off and Jayadev is held as their hostage. Along with Jayadev, the group of Maoists led by Gogi (Ajay) head to their base camp in a dense forest. During the journey, their ideologies are tested; good and bad are exposed, in a dramatic way.
or Srikanth, the film is like a complete departure from what he has been doing so far. The role of journalist lacks conventional heroism, yet Srikanth accepting the role should be commended. He comes up with subtle expressions but perfect ones required for the character. He also gives more screen space and best lines to his antagonist Ajay. You wonder at his reservoir of talent watching this film, expressing with eyes, delivering near perfect gestures. It is almost his film. Next comes Kamal Kamaraju , the man who lives by his idealism. Kamal Kamaraju has not much role in the beginning but he gets focus as the movie moves on and he comes up with dignified performance. S hivaji Raja, Kiran Varanasi, Ravi Varma, Sri Ramya and the girl who played the role of Rihana - all are perfect. Kamalinee does the role that can be termed as cameo appearance.
Cinematography by H R Ramachandra is okay. Background score by R P Patnaik has elevated the mood. Among the technicians, his work is superb. Production values are good. Producer Anil Meka should be appreciated for accepting this film. As writer and director Neelakantha's success lies in bringing out the best performances and handling post interval scenes with such dexterity. Ending the movie with Sri Sri's poem - Edi Satyam - is good. But he should have taken care of the pace of the movie in the beginning.
