Average

Nitin comes up with another action oriented film after Aatadistha. Director Ravi c Kumar has come up with a story based on the land mafia. While the film entertains to an extent, the message in the end is too long and tests the patience of the audience. The ending is quite predictable.


Vijji (Nitin) is a educated young boy from a middle class family. He loves his parents and his younger sister immensely. His father, Tanikella Bharani has a plot in a housing society. His dream is to construct a small house and raise a garden on the plot and live happily with his children and grandchildren.

Bharani finds a sutable match for his son Vijji on the net. The girl is Jaanu (Mamatha Mohandas). She also likes the boy and she starts loving him. Vijji’s has some friends, Sashanak, Duvvasi Mohan and others. Sindhu Tulani, a reporter with TV5 also becomes a friend of Vijji.


Devraj (Ashutosh Rana) is a greedy MLA who goes to any length to grab lands that he sets his eyes on. He grabs the land that belongs to a society in which Vijji’s father owns a plot. Devraj creates fake documents for the purpose. When the real owner of the land Kondal Rao (grandfather of Mamatha Mohandas) agrees to depose in the court, Devraj gets him killed.


The rest of the story is how Vijji exposes Devraj and brings his atrocities to an end.


Perfromance:
Nitin looks good and he has also improved a lot in diction and dialogue delivery. He gets a couple of big fights to flaunt his eight pack abs. He is shown using his brain more than his muscles to bring the culprits to book.


Mamatha Mohandas is her usual ravishing self. She does a neat job in her role as a lover and also the granddaughter of Kondal Rao.

Sindhu Tulani looks gorgeous. She is quite convincing as a TV reporter and manages to steal the show in some scenes.


Sashank is okay but he still has a long way to go to establish himself as an actor. Ashutosh Rana does a neat job as a greedy MLA and a notorious land grabber.

The rest of the star cast like Tanikella Bharanai, Sana, Ranganath, Nutan Prasad, Kondal Rao etc. are adequate in their roles. Duvvasi Mohan, Brahmanandam, Ali, MS Narayana do their bit to raise some laughs. Krishan Bhagavan plays a subdued role of a MRO.


Abhinyasri once again plays the role of a unsatisfied wife of an old husband (Brahmanandam). She finally elopes with Ali. The fights and songs are okay. Some of the dialogues have double meanings but are not too vulgar. The film is quite entertaining in the first half but turns into a long drawn out sentimental drama in the second half.

Victroy is another average film from Nitin.
