    Unique Concept with Typical Telugu routine execution

    Jr.NTR did his career-best performance after Rakhi and Nannaku Prematho. We cant imagine other actors in the role of "Jai". The movie started with an interesting point with identical triplets but it phased into routine comedy mode after titles. Interval Bang is awesome. After few interesting scenes again movie went to routine mode. Pre-Climax scene is brilliant. The idea of referencing Ramayana in the pre-climax episode is good. There is nothing to say about music. Except Asura song remaining all songs are useless. NTR need to focus on his dances again.

    Performance: JR NTR 10 / 10 as Jai Heroins --- ??????? Posani - As usual

    Music: Asura Song 9/10 Remaining all songs --- 5/10

    Choreography 6/10 Story 7/10 ScreenPlay 5/10 Direction 5/10

    unique story with mass elements

    Full mass masala movie with unique story. Awosome acting although i believe some action sequences shouldf have been made more relalisic even if it is a mass masla movie. Songs where ok but BGM was top notch Jai full mass character and i belive it is 1 or max 2 to 3 times watch just for ntr 4th

    A movie dedicated to brothers and fans.

    I'm a fan, so the review may seem a little biased but if you still want to read it, here it goes.

    Coming to the story, it was a bit new or maybe a plot line I didn't see till now. The movie is about love, conflict of emotions, parenting(yep you read it right), redemption and sacrifice. Normally in movies when brothers get parted from each other at a young age, you know that everything will be good when they meet again. But these three brothers don't part on good terms, why and how would be the spoilers.

    A simple story and plot line glorified by the stellar performance of Jr NTR.

    SPOILERS AHEAD

    The movie Starts simple by showing three brothers Jai, Lava and Kusa getting ready for Drama(stage play), under the guidance of their Uncle(Posani). But Jai being a stammerer gets laughed at by his brothers and his uncle and always gets a character with no dialogues and characters that don't show his face. People don't even know there are triplets performing on the stage. And one day when Jai has enough of the humiliation, he sets the stage on fire, where his brothers are performing. But fate has other plans for the three of them, they get separated from each other.

    The first half of the movie introduces you to Lava and Kusa, nothing new except how the two brothers meet and their different personalities but after the intermission, we get to see Jai, and all hell breaks loose. The intensity of the character(Jai) leaves the audience spellbound for the rest of the movie.

    Leave your brains home

    This is a commercial potboiler containing all the elements comedy,drama,romance and yeah action was pathetic in this movie and Hamsa Nandini looks totally hot and the only worth watching thing in this movie is the NTR performance as Jai,Lava and Kusa,nothing new in the story same old wine in a new bottle and Jai's character is really impressive among the others

    simple story with outstanding performance gives a worth watch film

    as whole is prefect fest for the audience to see the mind-blowing performance of all star cast. but only ntr was dominating all others.jai characters was the base for the film he was the hero and he was the villain.no doubt no can give that performance done by him.all the technical team done their part with good ease .special note taken by DSP, A.S PRAKASH ,CHOTA .K NAIDU.as the director was the captain of the ship he came with very known emotional story ,but emotions are universal we cant say no to them.bobby with all his experience handled very well he had great scope to become a huge commercial director.production values by ntr arts were up to mark. undoubtedly every one must watch film don't miss the brilliant performance by ntr.
