I've always thought that Jaggaiah was Tollywood's Cary Grant. He carries the entire movie with his spectacular performance in my opinion. To be fair, every actor in this movie turned in powerful performances. And I think that's a credit to the movie's director.
Unlike a lot of the movies around those years, there was no overacting. Everyone produced subtle and realistic performances. ANR gave Jaggaiah a solid run for his money in every scene they were together. Anytime Jaggaiah was on screen, it was hard to pay attention to the other actors, but ANR was quite splendid in his portrayal of simmering undertones. The scene where Jaggaiah's character attempts to push ANR's character down a waterfall is a wonderful example. There were no words. The subtle changes in facial expressions and exchange of looks between them in the scene sum up the director's style.
I dare say that nobody in Tollywood has been able to match Jaggaiah's portrayal of mania, with its intermittent highs and lows, in all these years.
This is a must-watch if you like suspenseful dramas with superb acting.
