hero player Considered a smart player. For most of the film, we don’t quite understand what he wants, though we do see clues that he has a soft spot for hard cash. The first part of the story presents Mohan Gandhi (Ravi Teja) as a happy family man. We witness a ridiculous romance that leads to her marriage but just before the interval, members of her family are murdered. He is seriously injured but taken to jail, and his daughter is kept in a welfare home.
Pooja (Meenakshi Choudhary) is a criminal psychologist; While helping a friend with a thesis, she learns about Mohan Gandhi and vows to bring her out of captivity and unite father and daughter. In the process, she learns that her father, who is a cop, is dishonest and scolds her for helping her release. There is also the story of Raja Shekhar (Rao Ramesh) who raises orphan Mohan Gandhi; He is implicated in a money laundering case by the Home Minister (Mukesh Rishi) and his son. This aspect becomes the catalyst in Mohan Gandhi’s journey to grab a large amount of currency belonging to the home minister’s son.

There are innumerable characters, all played by big names. Filmmaking seems slow and costly to justify a money laundering story. So there are exotic locales, high-end cars, guns, rifles and works… but do the legend and the aged Ravi Teja complement each other?
The second half falters with lots of twists and turns; player It is aimed solely at the fans of Nayak and those who love formula-driven movies.
If you don’t follow the story closely, you might wonder if Ravi Teja played a double role. Chitra (Dimple Hayati) adds credibility and Meenakshi has done a solid job. Ravi Teja plays in the gallery but better make-up could benefit him. All the songs are interesting but the cinematography is not good.
Venela Kishore fails to crack the laughter as Ravi Teja captures the finest lines. A greater focus on entertainment could have been a shot in the director’s hand. It’s okay to watch a formula film just for fun, but what distracts the audience is the justification for the crime. This is a film that lacks logic, sometimes requires your patience but that doesn’t mean you can write it completely.
