Director Kishore Tirumala has done a decent job. There was a lag in the narration here and there. Apart from the screenplay, the cinematography could have been better.
The frames and the lightings seem to be normal and out-dated. The production values are good.
The music was in sync with the story narration. A few dialogues were good.
Final Verdict:
The story of an underdog shown in a relatable way to all sections of the audience. It is a good one-time watch.
