If the number of action and song sequences are of any indication, it seems director Raghuraj made this movie exclusively for the Challenging Star Darshan’s hardcore fans. The audience can see Darshan either shaking his leg with one of the two heroines or thrashing not one but around 10 goons at a time. He even enters police station with impunity and beat police inspector.
A few scenes, especially those loaded with sentiment, are not up to the mark. For example, the particular scene where Darshan cremates his brother’s body without informing his mother, looks incongruous.
Between the heroines, it is Navya Nair who walks away with all honours. She succeeds in keeping the pace in song sequences. Her waist twirling skills deserve a pat. It may be recalled that Navya was the heroine in the successful film Gaja in which Darshan was the hero. Rekha looks pale in most of the sequences. She even fails to impress in dance sequences.
Rangaayana Raghu has no scope to showcase his acting skills. He is not convincing as a villain.
The movie is about twins Ram (Darshan) and Raj (Darshan). Circumstances compel them to live separately. While Ram leads a business empire, Raj lives in a slum. Raj handovers a rowdy to police for misbehaving with people. The rowdy is a follower of a politician. Do you think the politician to keep quiet? Nah. He asks a police inspector to arrest Raj. The police inspector mistakes Ram as Raj and arrests him. Now, it is the turn of Raj to teach a lesson to the police inspector. The result: Raj landing in prison.
Meanwhile, Raj escapes from the prison to meet his brother Ram but only to find that his brother has been murdered. He buries the body and pretends as Ram. The government assigns Iyer (Prabhu), a CBI officer, to investigate murders of businessmen. Iyer finds that Ram murdered them to eliminate competition in business. The climax is how Raj managed to kill murderers of his brother. The film ends with Raj joining hands with his sweetheart Rani (Navya Nair).
Music director V Harikrishna has done a neat job. Songs are good, especially, Masthu Masthu and Sona Sonaa. It is worth the watching for those who love action-oriented films.
