Story
Nivas (Havish) gets inspired by Nanaji, (Pradeep Rawat) an MLA while his friends Yaasir a fan of cricketer Nizamuddin (Adarsh)and Koti a fan of Peddapuram Peda Babu (Ashish Vidyardhi). However, the three of them quickly realizes that their matinee idols are quite selfish and goes to any extent for their personal interests. Nivas, Yaasir and Koti decides to take revenge on them and in the process Sarath Chandra (Sarath Kumar), a special officer gets into the job on investigating the murders. Rest of the story forms the crux.
Performances
Havish looks good but he fails to give apt expressions for the scenes and carries similar expression all through.
It’s the same with heroine Sanusha, who looks good but performance-wise she fails.
Sarath Kumar has a good role and he delivers his best, Brahmanandam entertains to the most providing us some sort of relief, Ashish Vidyardhi is decent and Pradeep Rawat is okay. Kota Srinivasa Rao, Annapurna and others were adequate.
Technical Analysis
Music is below average while the background score is strictly okay. Placement of songs hampers the flow. Screenplay is inconsistent while editing is pathetic. Dialogues are outdated. Ohmkar’s direction skills are below par while Production values are standard.
Analysis
The movie takes off well with few good notable dialogues but the lead stars performances will never make you connect to the scenes. Few of the scenes involving Brahmanandam, Sarath Kumar scenes in the first half and a series of murders may create some interest but the inconsistent screenplay and untimely songs test the patience. The second half falls flat and the climax is quite disappointing. The message delivered is misleading though the film is made with a good intention.
Final Verdict
Poor narration with unconvincing climax!!!

Balakrishna–Anirudh Combo Buzz for Koratala Film
May 6, 2026
Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently in discussions with multiple filmmakers, and one of the most exciting projects in the pipeline is his confirmed collaboration with Koratala Siva. The director is presently busy finalizing the cast and crew.
Over the past few days, there has been growing speculation about the film’s music director. Reports suggest that Anirudh Ravichander has been locked for the project after discussions, although an official confirmation is still awaited.
If this materializes, it will mark the first collaboration between Balakrishna and Anirudh, and Koratala Siva’s second outing with the composer. However, the combination comes with high expectations. For years, Balakrishna has predominantly worked with S. Thaman, who consistently delivered chartbuster albums for him.
Anirudh, known for his distinct style, will now be expected to deliver a standout, career-best album for this high-profile project. Unlike Thaman, who is known for his quick turnaround time, Anirudh typically takes more time to craft his music, which could be a factor in a star-driven project like this.
Interestingly, Anirudh’s background scores have often gone viral among Balakrishna’s fans on social media, fueling long-standing demand for this collaboration.
With Koratala Siva’s strong sense of commercial storytelling and musical taste, the film is expected to strike a balance between mass appeal and freshness, aiming to impress a wide range of audiences.
