                  response followed by Chiru's police station fight in 'Khaidi'.

              Over 
                all, it was a treat for all the fans that assembled there to celebrate 
                Chiranjeevi's 47th birthday.  
              On 
                the flip side: 
              Transportation: 
                Hundreds of fans were stranded outside Silpakala Vedika after 
                the function was over because of no transportation. Most of them 
                had to walk down from that place.  
              Food: 
                All the fans were sitting in the auditorium from 6 pm to 12:30 
                midnight without any food in between. The food sold in mini café 
                inside was too costly to afford and fans were reluctant to move 
                out of auditorium with the fear of losing their seat.  
              Duration: 
                The duration of the function was too long (almost seven hours). 
                The function started with fans making lot of hungama. But the 
                pitch of the noise subdued by midnight due to fatigue. It would 
                have been more fun if the function started somewhere around 9 
                pm. 
              But 
                who complains! The day (oops night) is already made for Megastar 
                fans
