Chiranjeevi plays a notorious fisherman who is into smuggling, who helps police to nab an international drug peddler.

First half sets the storyline, while the second half is predictable but has a twist towards the climax that doesn't feel like a twist at all.

After the failure of GodFather, Chiranjeevi was expected to come out with a fresh & unique film but he chose a cliche instead.

Everyone's performances are decent, Chiranjeevi with his swag perfectly fits into the character.

The best thing about the movie is its music, from BGM to songs, Devi Sri Prasad has done an outstanding job.
