Rasool Ibrahim’s (Vijay Sethupathi) role as a suspended police inspector was entertaining. Maniratnam’s story telling was spotless, though the characterization of the cast was faintly different.  Slight unevenness in the screenplay at the beginning of second half will disturbs the flow of the movie.

The way director utilized the Rahman songs and their placements in the movie was new, may not...

Later he tries to correct the system by his own terms and faces problems from his own party. How he overcomes the barriers and gains people support is rest of the story. Mahesh babu did a decent job in the role of Bharat. His dialogue delivery suited the character very well. His act in the press conference scene was outstanding, but his character gets week in the emotional scenes. Kiara Advani as Vasumathi was ok. Prakash raj as  Varadarajulu was apt. But most of the casting in the movie was misfit. The movie plot was more or less resembles Shekar kamula’s Leader. Even though story was predictable, director Koratala Siva’s screenplay was good.
