Nandamuri Balakrishna, who scored the biggest hit with his 100th film "Gauthamiputra Satakarani" has teamed up with Puri Jagannadh, who comes from a totally different school of film-making.
Puri the irreverent film-maker and Balayya the mass star -- this unusual combination stirred interest thanks to its unintentionally funny, yet different trailer.
Let's find out the merits and demerits of Balakrishna's 101st movie...
Story:
Theda Singh (Nandamuri Balakrishna) comes to Hyderabad and picks up a lawyer’s house (Prudhvi) for his stay. Staying right opposite to the house is a girl called Harika (Muskaan) along with her mother. Her sister who goes to Portugal goes missing.
Theda Singh (Nandamuri Balakrishna) comes to Hyderabad and picks up a lawyer’s house (Prudhvi) for his stay. Staying right opposite to the house is a girl called Harika (Muskaan) along with her mother. Her sister who goes to Portugal goes missing.
On the other hand, a RAW team is on the look out for someone who can take on and kill the mafia don (Vikramjeet). They find Theda Singh appropriate for their mission and he agrees to help them.
But the mafia don and his politician friend suspect that Theda Singh is not the simple guy he claims to be and believe he has a flashback. What is that? Who is he really?
Artistes’ Performances:
Nandamuri Balakrishna has effortlessly slipped into Puri’s style with the role of Theda Singh. While he gets to mouth a lot of punch dialogues as Theda Singh, his voice trembles a lot and it pretty hard to miss. The dialogues are not as powerful as they sounded in Balayya’s other movies due to this and one cannot help wondering if age is catching up with him.

Though not a challenging role, Balayya plays it perfectly to the galleries in trademark Puri style.
Shriya, for the most part, has a minor role that appears only in the second half and has one song.
Newcomer Muskaan Sethi has a good figure but lacks acting skills. And Kyra Dutt who plays a police officer’s role does an item song.
Senior Bollywood actor Kabir Bedi is neat. Vikramjeet as baddie makes an impression. Ali and Prudhvi get to play typical Puri’s comic roles but their comedy doesn’t generate laughs.
Technical Excellence:
Anup's music is aimed for mass audiences. “Mama Ek Pega Laa” is catchy. The remix song is forgettable. Two other songs also have good beats.

G Mukesh’s cinematography is eye-pleasing and locales of Europe (Portugal and other countries) are well captured. Venkat’s artwork is appealing. Junaid's editing could have been sharper in the second half.
The action scenes are stylish and they are full of dialogues in between fights. Production values are quite rich for this kind of masala movie.

Drawback:
Too massy and loud
No logic and reason
Bad version of Pokiri
