The major problem with the film is the first act – Romantic track. Although, both the actors, Ravikrishna and Manika Chikkala, performed well, the romantic track between them did not give the desired impact because of poor writing. The entire track hardly had any emotionally driven feel-good and romantic moments. All we get to see is the boy keep pestering the girl to let him kiss her. Because of a lack of strong writing in the romantic track, there was no strong emotional connection established and there was not much empathy generated when the would-be couple ended up meeting a tragedy. Better care in writing for this track would have made the film a much better watch. Another drawback in the film is that it has too many subplots and apart from Navdeep’s subplot, none of the other subplots, got a proper pay-off.
