Story, Screenplay and Direction:Though the film basically introduces itself as a love story, it is the friendship between Abhiram and Gaali Seenu that dominates most of the time. As mentioned Naresh steals the show with his near perfect comic timing and natural expressions and all characters pale in comparison. That is perhaps one reason why Sharwanand despite playing the rich guy's role to the hilt is overshadowed by the overpowering role and dialogues given to Naresh.
All the characters are beautifully etched, they have shades of grey and they all move towards the positive as the journey progresses, for example..Kamalini is stubborn, has her priorities right but at the end of the film she believes in him, Sharwanand grows up in a different atmosphere but the beauty in his character unfolds while he takes pains to explain why he behaves like that. His father too changes and there is another very nice character in the dancer who melts your heart with her few sentences.
Kamalini Mukherjee shows no novelty in her work so there is hardly anything to talk about her except her graceful movements in a dance drama. Her holier than thou and pricey attitude is getting a little too much for the audiences.
