I liked the way title song is shot in common people during the beginning titles of the movie. All the songs in this film are shot in montage format. Other departments: Music by Micky J Meyer is very good. The director should have narrated the stories in much compact way as the pace is pretty slow. But one wonders how come a beggar manages to earn 10 lacs. The way beggar hides his money is interesting. The beggar character reminds us of a similar character in Amores Perros (Life is Bitch) and Run Lola Run.

I personally liked Lakshmi Manchu and Krishnudu stories.

Hence the five stories though have a meaningful end makes no sense in the climax. But the problem with the whole scheme of things is that only two stories appear relevant to the main conflict point of the film. And at the end, he connects the dots well. The way director introduced the eight story plots from the people the writer has seen in a coffee shop is pretty creative. There are eight stories from different walks of life. But the challenge here is to cross to borders without making it look alien. When a director attempt such films, he will definitely get a few brownie points. Story - screenplay - direction: Anthology films and films of ensemble cast are not the ones we got used to in Telugu films. Kondavalasa is very effective with his serious diction. Richa Panai, Isha Ranganath and Shamili played their parts well. Naresh looks different as a mature NRI, but his accent is artificial. Chaitanya Krishna has sweetness associated with him and it helped in establishing him as a lover boy, but he has a different shade at a latter part. Abhijeet is basically a theater actor and his experience helped in perfect execution of his character. He shows mettle while playing the role of an eve-teaser. Naga Shourya has got piercing eyes and aggressive body language. He is excellent as an obese guy who is desperate to get married. Krishnudu has matured as an actor with this movie. Krishneswara Rao has done fabulous job as beggar who dreams of owning a house. This is the best character in her career after her debut film Anaganaga O Dheerudu. She has essayed the pain very convincingly. It’s a daring decision for Lakshmi Manchu to play a character of a fading away super model who drinks and smokes regularly. His looks and method acting worked well for the character. Kishore is perfect as a writer and a doting father. The rest of the story is all about how Saradhi’s problem is solved. Raghu (Naga Shourya) is a typical village youngster who is busy chasing a girl Gauri (Isha Ranganath). Saritha (Aamani) is a widow who reconnects with her college-time friend Mohan (Naresh) a NRI divorcee who returns to India. There is a beggar (Krishneswara Rao) whose life time ambition is to buy a small house.

Raghu (Chitanya Krishna) studies in a junior college and he lures Renu (Shamili) - daughter of a noted politician in love. Ashraf (Abhijeet) has a small departmental store in old city and want to marry his sweetheart Haseena (Richa Panai). Venkateswara Rao (Krishnudu) is a desperate ‘pellikani prasad’ whose only aim in life is to find a(ny) girl. Lisa Smith (Lakshmi Manchu) is a super model at the fag end of her career with no money left.

He starts writing a novel with multiple story lines. His little daughter is suffering from a chronic ailment and he desperately needs 5 lacs. Saradhi (Kishore) is a writer and a widower.
