Performances :

Director MS Raju had casted new faces for all most all the roles of the youngsters. His son Sumanth Ashwin himself is playing the male lead. He delivered a decent performance with his first movie. His expressions are okay for a first timer. And he is terrific in dances. Riya Chakravarthy is making her debut as heroine. She slightly resembled Genelia and Richa in some angles and she came up with a decent performance. The girl who played the negative role is good.

Naga Babu, Prabhu, Sita, Vijaya Chander, Shyaji Shinde are okay in whatever they are offered.

Technical Performances :

MS Raju who was once a star producer lost his sheen completely after becoming a director. He chose a good subject for the movie but the execution and narration is too bad. The entertainment which should be the backbone of a youthful love story is totally missing. Comedy seemed to be forced at several places. Dialogues are okay. Re-recording and songs by Karthik Raja are too good. Editing should have been better. Cinematography by S.Gopal Reddy is awesome

Production values and the locations are too good.

Positives :

1. Excellent dance by Sumanth Ashwin

2. Good Production values

3. Superb Locations

4. Good BGM and songs

Negatives:

1.Wayward narration

2. Fake accents of the actors

3. Forced comedy

Verdict

MS Raju is one producer who had given break to many heroes like Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Siddharth etc as producer. But as a director, he failed to give the best of the debuts to his own sons. While nothing to take away for Ashwin's hard work, he may not get the commercial success with his first movie.
