This film is daring attempt on the part of director Agastyan, as a result it looks totally fresh and different. The basic question the subject raises is whether a pure form of love and exist between newly weds, sans sex. One notable feature is, the dialogue is not accompanied by so-called 'mood' music. This approach helped Raviteja, who has the habit of hastening expression at the cost of clarity. Besides, this film is a pure dialogue drama. Credit goes to the dialogue writer for its freshness and also surprise element embedded it - the hero says the most unpredictable lines. Almost all the characters behave in a casual manner and are informal. More so in the case of Vivekananda's (Raviteja) character. The hero's father Sanjeevi (Ajay Ratnam) is an industrialist and a millionaire, and he shares a 'peculiar' relationship with his son. When the son confronts his father over his 'relationship' with a woman (Preeti Nigam), the father challengers his son by asking him to stay away from his lover/wife without having a sexual relationship. Vivekananda takes up the challenge, meets and marries Bharati (Vani), but stays away from her. How he tries and understands the position of his father's mistress and meets a dancer, Sangeetha through her, forms the latter half, but the steady flow of the film slips once he goes on a binge of lecturing on morals. Ravi Teja is hot name following the success of his recent films. In this film, his dialogue delivery is quite sober. Vani looks perfect in her role of an obedient wife. But another new artiste Preeti Nigam adds freshness to her role and also to the film, underplaying it well. The young Sangeetha in the role of the dancer also gives a novel touch to the film. Ajay Ratnam, Benerji and Sana offer satisfactory portrayals. Music by Keeravani is an asset to the film.
