Story - Jewellery belonging to Lord Venkateswara will be robbed and hero's father will be falsely implicated for it. How the hero manages to bring back the robbed jewelry forms the story.
Performances - Nagarjuna shines in his role. It is a cake-walk for him, actually. Sridevi did her role well. Rest others are fine, but Paresh Rawal and Kota Srinivasa Rao stand out.
Music - Music by Raj-Koti is very nice. The background score is good too.
Other Technical Departments - Photography is simply superb. Editing is excellent and dialogues are very good. I don't know whether the original Tirupati temple was directly used or a set was built for it, but it is very very good.
Story, Direction - The story is a very unusual one in Telugu movies. It is a heist drama, primarily, but what makes it an interesting one is its gripping direction. Ram Gopal Varma's direction is just superb. His screenplay is also very good. There isn't a single dull moment in the film, except perhaps for the songs which act as speed breakers. Full marks to RGV.
Final Piece - This film has nothing to do with spirituality or divinity. It uses divinity to a certain extent. But it is actually a nail biting thriller which has a small fantasy element towards its climax. You must watch it to know the nuances in quality film making. Sadly it attracted several controversies at that time and was a box-office failure. But, it is a must watch for all Nagarjuna fans and Telugu film lovers.
