I just love this movie. Prabhas looks strong and handsome, and Trisha looks pretty, but also average and relatable. The acting in this movie is phenomenal. Gopichand as Bhadranna made a fearsome villain. Prakash Raj as the cunning father is such a good role. He is one of the highlights of the film. Trisha's grandmother also brings good comedy. Of course, you can't forget Sunil and the gang, along with Dharmavarapu Subramanyam. This story has interesting twists, and is very engaging. The songs by DSP are amazing. My favorite songs are Nuvvostanante Nennodantana and Ee Varsham Sakshiga. So good. Trisha and her "best friend" rain are so cute. I have watched this movie more than 10 times because it's so great. Everyone should watch it and love it.

The cinematography was really good. Nitya Menen looks beautiful and Sharwanand looks handsome. The love story starts out sweetly. They show good chemistry on the screen. However, as the story goes on, it becomes very unrealistic. For so many of the scenes, I was just sitting there shaking my head. How can I believe that Nitya's father shot himself right when he heard the news about her love matter? Who is that rash?? Or Nitya's sacrifice of her love because her father killed himself. First of all, she says she won't give up her love; then her dad shoots himself; now she says since my dad is dead, I'll give up my love. WHAT. Also, Nitya Menen's daughter's character is so forced. Obviously, the writers wanted to make a point that having boyfriends and doing things with them before marriage is a horrible sin, so they make this daughter character totally bad and completely unbelievable. First of all, she is adopted by Nitya, so she has presumably been raised and taught values by her. Then, how did she become this chain-boyfriend ditching, instant pleasure seeking girl?? And only after she is completely grown, Nitya is telling her morals. And her talk about sex and love were totally cringe-worthy and laughable. Like, I would show it to my friend to show her how bad it is.
