Technical: Director Vikram Kumar did not take any risk. He took an interesting story and narrated it in a simple and straight forward way without too many twists or turns.

Anirudh's music is excellent and his background score elevates the movie. All the songs in the movie are used to move the story forward and Anirudh's music helped it a lot. The cinematography by Miroslaw Kuba Brozek is good. Editing by Naveen Nooli is perfect. Production by Naveen Yerneni, Y. Ravi Sankar, Mohan Cherukuri of Mythri Movie Makers is rich.

Analysis: Vikram Kumar to a simple revenge story and added humor and human emotions. He did not take any risk of hiding the villain from the audience. He used an interesting technique of revealing him to the gang. The episodes of gang trying to find him came out well and the cat and mouse game once they find him is excellent. An interesting twist at the tail end of the movie is good. The back story of the loved ones of revengers how they all came together is nice.
