Rajeev Kanakala decides to join Atidhi in the hostel and while he and his wife were taking Atidhi to the hostel a man stops them and asks for money. He kills Rajeev Kanala and his wife on refusal of giving the money. Police arrests Atidhi saying that he has killed them. Atidhi after spending 13 years in jail comes out and searches for Amrita. He comes to know that Kaiser was the man who killed Rajeev Kanakala and his wife. Amrita meets him accidentally and follows him. Atidhi comes to know that Kaiser even wants to kill Amrita. How Atidhi learns that the girl accompanying him was his childhood friend Amrita and how he saves her from Kaiser is the remaining story.Mahesh babu looks good with his new hair style. His performance very good. Amrita Rao's performance is pretty ordinary and she does not look good in this movie. Sameer Reddy camera work is excellent. Action scenes are good. Malika Arora appears in the guest role in a song and she is good. Comedy is very limited and okay. Film is too lengthy and direction by Surender Reddy is good in parts, but not well on a whole. One can watch this movie for Maheshbabu.
