Chiranjeevi-Salman Khan starrer is a satisfying watch

He has only kept those things that serve the main plot and within that space, he has indulged the superstardom of Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan for the amusement of their fans. In the middle of a gunfight, Salman�s Masoom Khan pushes an overturned car just with his shoulder, all the while firing a shotgun to create a safe passage for Chiranjeevi�s Brahma to get out of the car. The action scenes are too ridiculous to take them seriously. And Mohan knows it. But, he�s also aware that this kind of stunts will do the job of amusing fans.(more)

Tailormade Remake

If we stop comparing it with the original, it looks interesting. However, Chiranjeevi�s charisma and his swag, and certain portions bring joy to his fans. For others, it is a strictly okay watch. It is difficult for the audience who watched 'Lucifer' to relish this film. But those who didn't watch the original may like it. This is the tailormade remake for Chiranjeevi. (more)
