Realizing that his father is a very good man, Anand warns Unni, but Unni ignores his advice. Then Anand decides to meet Unni’s father who is none other than Mohanlal and goes to the latter’s “Janatha Garage”.

That is when NTR joins hands with Mohanlal and the two begin their and fight against injustice. What happens next forms the crux of the story.

 

REVIEW

The legendary actor Mohanlal is the backbone of the entire film and it is his character that gives the film a lot of weight. The young actor Junior NTR sheds his star image and stays true to his character. Heroine’s Samantha and Nithya Menen have absolutely nothing to do and have been wasted completely.

The first half of the movie stresses on hero and his attitude of protecting the nature, while the second half focuses on the family issues. Except a couple of scenes, entire movie runs on expected lines with the absolutely weak story. The plot is so very cliched.

Music by Devi Sri Prasad is a huge plus as all the songs have been composed quite well. Production values of the film are good. Cinematography by Tirru is good. Dialogues by Koratala Shiva are meaningful. Editing could have been better.

Director Koratala Shiva have done well but takes too much time to establish the story.
