Lots of guys are in awe of Shehnaz after watching this film. They say that she exposed a lot and shown lot of cleavage. I wonder, if these guys are going blind. The biggest flasher in this film is not Shehnaz. It is Nagarjuna himself. He bares his chest at the drop of the hat. I wonder, if Nag is keeping Sallu Bhai as the competitor in his mind.

Another technique of exploiting the heroine in a subtle way is to make her run and concentrate camera on the upper charms. It started with Mani Rantam's classic film 'Bombay', in which Manisha runs wearing a burqa. Later on Raghavendra Rao used the same for Preity Zinta in Raja Kumarudu. Then came B Gopal's Ravanna in which Sanghvi did the same galloping in a song with Rajasekhar. In Nag's earlier film, Azad, the homely looking Soundarya is subjected to this infamous sprint. And now it's Shehnaz's turn in this film on the pretext of saving herself from the raging bull.

Let's get back to the basics of the film Eduruleni Manishi. We do accept that Nag is the man without opposition as the title of this film suggests. It does not mean that this film should have a weak villain. The heroism of the hero gets elevated only if the villain is equally powerful. While watching this film, I though this film can become another Narasimha, in which the heroine played a negative role. I expected Soundarya to ruin Nag and then repent about the same and help Nag rebuilt the fame and fortune. The moment, Soundarya realized her mistake in the middle of second half, the story is over. The rest of 45 minutes is just dragging the film by bringing back the Nazar and gang to work.

There is one particular scene in this film in which Nazar arranges a lorry-full of rowdies from the city to finish of Sr. Nagarjuna. But all these lethal goons drop their weapons the moment they see Nagarjuna and runs away. This scene is a straight lift from Narasimha Naidu. There is a reason for the goons to fear Narasimha Naidu is justifiable as he had a powerful flashback, in which he has beaten them black and blue. But, I fail to understand why the goons in Eduruleni Manishi feared Nagarjuna. This shows the way the filmmakers copy the successful scenes from other blockbusters, without really looking for the necessity of placing those scenes.

I think Suryamurthy(Sr. Nag) is such a donor that he donates money to all the people in trouble. He donated to such an extent that he did not have enough money to buy cloths for himself. Otherwise how can he wear a single white dress throughout the film? His state of poverty has reached the rock bottom by the time he entered the climax. His white dress is also gone. All he left with is a black lungi and nothing to wear on this chest for the climax. What a poor guy! There is another poor guy in Bollywood. He is Salman Khan. He also do not have money to buy shirts. But he has enough dough to maintain a clean-shaven muscular chest. Thanks to his razor and vitamin pills. But Surya Murthy does not have money for that too. Shehnaz is no exception. She too needs some pocket money to maintain a wardrobe of full-length cloths.

One must watch the TV commercials of Eduruleni Manishi. You can see Surya Murthy walking furiously in his typical white dress as the fireballs splash from either side to form the title 'Eduruleni Manishi'. But for that getup Nag looks little lean. That get up needs hefty personality (hefty means plump).

The luscious building of NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) in Madhapur is serving the purpose of heroine's college in most of the Telugu films. Be it Sonali Bendre's college in Murari or Shehnaz's college in Eduruleni Manishi. But what the cinematographer could not avoid is the welcome board of Wipro building that is set right opposite to NIFT. I am sure, the pretty damsels of this NIFT started throwing tantrums like the heroines as NIFT building is turning out to be the only posh Hyderabad College for any heroine in films to study. And the guys at Wipro, Madhapur do not mind it either.

Jeevi is mad with me. Otherwise how can he mention the girl kid's name in his review wrongly. Her name is Rani. But he wrote it as Vaani. I think he is jealous of me for having a pretty beautiful girl friend Rani. Anyway I am not bothered. More number of people read my blah blah than his reviews.
