The film is a triangular love story in which a girl, Bandhavi (Pooja Doshi), has to decide between two boys Karthik (Harish Kalyan) and Kranti (Sai Ronak).[2]

Cast

Production

Executive producer, Anand Ranga, told the director, Pattabhi, how telling a story from a girl's point of view would be a good idea after his friends and family told him how films that featured a leading lady ran well. Although the director wasn't interested in casting Harish Kalyan after seeing his photo, but Harish Kalyan was roped in to be part of the cast after Pattabhi watched Kalyan's Vil Ambu. Debutant Pooja Doshi and Sai Ronak were cast after they auditioned for their respective roles.[3]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Prasan Praveen Shyam.[4] The audio launch was held in June.[5]

Release

This film received mixed reviews upon release.

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated that "A little more depth in characters would have helped this simple film from getting sluggish", but praised Harish Kalyan's performance stating that he "plays his part with maturity. This Tamil actor makes a promising entry into Telugu cinema".[6] Ch Sushil Rao of The Times of India stated that "Nothing particularly great about the movie to suggest not to miss it", but also praised the performances of Kalyan and Sai Ronak and the film's music.[7]
