Artists:

Srikanth: Srikanth found to be third time lucky with a good role to go with good story after 'Preyasi Raave' and 'Kshemamga Velli Labhamga Randi'. He character is an easy going one, but takes a swift shift in the end to give completeness to it. Srikanth excelled well in that role.
Naveen: Success seems to be eluding Naveen though he is not erring in his selection of projects. But this time he got everything right including the much elusive success. He did exceedingly well in portraying the repenting mass character.
Malavika: Malavika is not an extraordinary beauty. That's reason why she is selected for this film. She looks just like the girl next door with her innocent smile and sensuality of a female. She did well to balance the showing of love towards srikanth and showing of hatred towards Naveen in presence of Srikanth and let him not know about the existing rivalry between Naveen and her.
Asha: She did well in her insignificant, yet important, character. A steamy song showcases her dare to bare attitude.
LB Sriram: The ultimate killer in this film is LB Sriram (He is dialogue write who worked for films like Hitler and Hello Brother). He provided the same kind of impact that is provided by Rao Gopal Rao in 'Muthyala Muggu'. His Godari accent is a treat to ears. He is an excellent stage artist. Just like most of the stage artist, his strength lies in body gestures and pronunciation of Telugu. Though he is done a few insignificant roles in films like 'Kishkinda Kanda' and 'Hands Up', this film helped him as a launching pad into the popularity. He is supposed have grabbed half a dozen films with his performance in this film. His lingo 'Pusukkuna' makes people laugh uncontrollably. A new comedy star is born with this film.

Other Departments

Direction: EVV proved that stamina of small big film with 'Chala Bagundi'. He gave us a complete product in the form of 'Chala Bagundi'. He direction takes a new dimension in terms of slickness in this film. In the earlier films the comedy angle of the film takes unproportionate stretch and there by kills the pace of story. But in this film clean comedy is projected in the right proportion in the form of LB Sriram. Just like his earlier films, Sentiment is 'Chala Bagundi' plus point.

Music: Music is this film is very good. Koti gave good music for EVV and EVV relayed excessively on Koti for his films. Re-recording is very good in this film as it is done in DTS format.

Dialogues: Janardhan Maharshi gave good sensible dialogue with EVV flavor.

Production: The reason given by EVV for transforming himself as the producer is that he want to have a free hand at the budget of the film. He spent around 3.5 crores and all that money is shown in the form of richness on the screen. He quoted high for the distributors and finally he released the film himself in Andhra area and taken the help of Geeta Distributor to release this film in Nizam. After the release of the film distributors are queuing up to buy the rights of films outright.

EVV has a habit of giving lot of prerelease hype before the release of his films. He followed the same strategy for the last two films 'Pilla Nachindi' and 'Neti gandhi'. This time too he did the same by giving high blitz publicity. But this time he got another thing right in addition to good publicity. That is to make a film that is worth the publicity he gives. People like Chiru and Rama Naidu publicly acknowledge their personal opinion about 'Chala Bagundi'. EVV has the most powerful weapon as the publicity vehicle. That is a satisfied viewer. And all the people who watched this film are giving good feed back. And this mouth publicity is just doing what it is supposed to do.
