Every character looks plastic except Rao Ramesh as the grumpy brother-in-law, who hallucinates at times with his alter ego. The narration is very slow as scenes takes ages to move forward. Technically, the film looks slick with eye catching camera work by Retnavelu. The heroines Pranitha and Kajal look great on screen, but Samantha steals the show. There are nearly 20 well known actors in the supporting cast, who know it is just a photo opportunity at best. It is high time that Mahesh gives a new spin to his star image. The saving grace to a certain extent is Mahesh Babu, who is vibrant and charismatic and tries his best to give some life to the goody-goody character he portrays. He is helped by his girlfriend (Samantha) during this road trip, that criss-crosses across the country. The second half has Mahesh Babu embark on what looks like an all-India tour in search of his family roots and to meet his extended family. He vents his anger when he realises that Mahesh Babu, who he always thought would marry his daughter, (Pranitha) has fallen for a girl (Kajal Aggarwal) who has come as a guest into the family. However the tycoon’s brother-in-law (Rao Ramesh) and business partner feels sidelined. His son (Mahesh Babu) is the ideal guy, tries his best to keep the family tradition going. The head of the joint family (Sathyaraj) is a billionaire who dotes on his brothers and other family members.
