TollywoodA Nagarjuna or Chiranjeevi of yesteryear could have carried such a script with their presence and star-power.Krishna SripadaYou can be forgiven for believing that this movie will take you down memory lane – recreate the old magic of one of Nagarjuna’s movies, where he was pitted against a vicious mother-in-law in a tussle of egos. Not much of that happened in this story. Instead, you get the distinct feeling of someone hitting you with a golf club on the back of your head to stop you from falling asleep. Loud and unimaginative, Shailaja Reddy Alludu rides on a wafer-thin plotline, where every character is confused. It’s like a bunch of immature kids trying to talk adult stuff in a reality show without a Big Boss. Chaitu (Naga Chaitanya) falls for Anu (Anu), despite her galaxy-sized ego. The straight method doesn’t work, so he uses the crooked finger.
