Murali Kishor Abburu's film is set in a village caught in a blood feud running through generations. A young man decides to stand against the custom that keeps the cycle going. The narrative treats the violence as a matter of code. Opposing it brings conflict not only with the rival family but with his own circle; the film gives this within the heroic form and devotes wide space to action. Akhil Akkineni leads. The production sits in the rural action strain of Telugu cinema, with the music and fight sequences brought forward. A romantic line is set inside the narrative. Who it's for: those who like Telugu rural action drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting restrained violence; the film stages its conflict for spectacle.
