Story:

Sandeep(Allu Arjun) alias Sandy is a cool going guy who has lot of respect for both love and arranged marriage. He gets a job in US and his parents(Suhasini, Asish Vidyarthi) wants sandy to get married before leaving to states. Sandy tells their parents that he doesn't have any girl friend and asks his parents to search a beautiful girl for him. He further decides not to see the photograph of the girl to whom he is getting married before marriage. In the marriage both see each other and falls in love at first sight but suddenly a twist comes. What is the Twist? What happened to the Bride? Did the lead pair get married or not forms the crux of the story.

Performance:

Allu Arjun is good as usual in sentimental scenes and dances however he needs to improve his dialogue delivery a lot. The dialogue 'Magatanam unte' lacks the required punch due to the bad dialogue delivery of Allu Arjun.

Heroine Bhanu Mehra whose face was hidden by Gunasekhar until the movie release is not that beautiful. She is just OK. Earlier she did a small role in Bollywood movie Bachna Ae Haseeno.

Tamil actor Arya did role of villian in this movie. His characterization was well written and audience felt that his role even dominated the role of hero during second half.

Others did their part well.

Highlights:

• Aidu Rojula Pelli Ammanti Pelli Song Picturisation.
• Dialogues by Thota Prasad regarding love and marriage.
• Revealing the face of heroine at the right time.
• Villain's characterization.
• Lip Lock scene between the lead pair and following dialogues.
• Climax Fight.
• Background Score.
• Bunny's dance.

Sidelights:

• Dragged 2nd half.
• Poor Script.
• Music.
• Heroine.
• Lack of comedy.

Final Verdict:

The first half of the movie is good which tells about the Five day marriage in olden days. Second half is uninteresting and unappealing. Audience felt bored in the second half with no twists and interesting sub plots. Even some shouted in the movie during second half, "Tondaraga heroine ni pelli chesuko memu intiki veltam". Gunasekhar failed in direction department. The movie is just better than Sainikudu. Allu Arjun is the only saving grace of the movie.

Bottom Line:

Watch it for just time pass. Don't expect more.
