A middle-class national security agent, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, marries Sasirekha, the daughter of India’s richest businessman. Their marriage faces severe opposition, leading to separation. When mysterious criminals attack Sasirekha’s father, Vara Prasad steps in to protect his family and uncover hidden truths involving Venky Gowda. The story blends romance, family emotions, action, and comedy.
Director Anil Ravipudi delivers a feel-good family entertainer that focuses more on emotions and humor than high-octane action. Anchored by Chiranjeevi’s career-best post-comeback performance, the film aims to entertain Sankranthi audiences with lighthearted storytelling and strong character moments.
Sameer Reddy’s cinematography is pleasant and visually appealing. Production values are neat and suitable for a festive family entertainer. The boarding school visuals and song picturization are particularly attractive.
Bheems Ceciroleo delivers soothing, lyrical songs that blend well into the narrative. “Sasirekha” and “Meesala Pilla” are beautifully used for storytelling. Background score is decent but could have been stronger in action scenes.
Tammiraju’s editing is neat in most portions, though slightly tighter trimming could have improved second-half pacing.
Anil Ravipudi smartly removes the “Megastar burden” from Chiranjeevi and presents him in a simple, lovable role. This creative decision allows Chiranjeevi to perform freely and naturally, reminding audiences of his golden-era charm. The film balances humor and emotion effectively, delivering laugh moments every few minutes. The romantic track feels mature and refreshing.
However, the sluggish opening and inconsistent second-half pacing slightly reduce the overall impact. Despite minor flaws, the film works strongly as a festive family entertainer powered by Chiranjeevi’s effortless screen presence.
