Jagapati
(Jagapati Babu) is an orphan and also a loyal henchman
of local MLA Goud (Pradeep Rawat). Jagapati loyally
protects the interests of Goud and also provides security
to him. Incidentally Jagapati turns out to be the local
Sub Inspector of Police. He turns the police station
into a bar and makes the constables serve liquor. He
happens to meet a beautiful girl called Lavanya (Rakshita)
and falls in love with her. And Lavanya turns out to
be a widow of Murari (Sai Kiran) whom Jagapati kills.
The rest of the story is all about how Jagapati mends
himself.
Jagapati Babu is good in
the title role. He did a bit of lighter vein comedy
while trying to impress upon heroine. Rakshita
is adequate in the role of heroine. But she and Jagapati
Babu did few things on the screen during songs that
are best confined to bed room. Poor Navneet
Kaur is reduced to a vamp in this film. She has
more 1-1 scenes with Suman Shetty
than with Jagapati Babu in this film. Comedy by MS
Narayana evoked some laughter. Pradeep
Rawat is average in the role of villain. Subbaraju
and Salim Baig are fair.
Sai Kiran did a special
character in this film. 
Story
- screenplay - direction: Story of the film lacks
clarity and logic. Screenplay is very confusing. Direction
of Jonnalagadda Srinivas is amateurish at the best.
The characterizations are pretty bad. Narration of the
film is pathetic. The director should realize that making
mass films does not mean that one should leave everything
behind and just concentrate on fights and hero-build-up
scenes.
Other
departments: Music by MM Keeravani is adequate.
Camerawork by Jayaram is OK. Though certain dialogues
are adequate, Janardhan Maharshi injected unnecessary
dialogues and references. He should have written measured
dialogues. Fights by Vijay and Ram-Lakshman appear artificial.
Editing by Kola Bhaskar is not crisp. Production values
of the film are good.
