Saikumar in the lead means dialogue and action. Sequences
are tailor-made to suit his image, and he rises to match it
with his performance.
But the narrative element of the film suffers. The title of
the film gives a hint about the content.
The only novel angle is the depiction of how a dashing computer
engineer, Surya (Saikumar), gets drawn into the mess of murders,
engineered by Home Minister Mahendra Chowdhary, (Sarat Babu)
who aspires to be the Chief Minister. Mahendra, who runs main
show, uses Surya as a pawn.
The first part of the film is devoted to establish the characters.
The second part is total action drama.
Mahendra pretends to be a social worker and pulls Surya into
his game. Surya falls for it believing Mahendra to be his
well- wisher.
Asish Vidyarthi plays underworld don Chota who lives by extortion
and murders. When Chota shifts his base from Mumbai to the
city, Mahendra encourages Surya to finish him off - not to
clean the society of criminals but to remove a blackmailer
from his own life. Eventually Surya realises what kind of
a man he's working for.
Mahendra refuses to come to Surya's and when police corner
him. Chota, on the other hand, kills his family members. When
Surya tries to retaliate, he is brutally stabbed and thrown
out of a window.
The hero survives, after spending six years in coma, and returns
to settle scores.
But for Saikumar's dialogue rendition and action, the film
has nothing to his credit. Thematically, the film draws a
blank, and there is lot of violence.
Music has no place in the drama, except as the backdrop for
action. Photography and editing are good.
