Story, Screenplay and Direction:The cool quotient generated by God in a dashing white suit is all lost because of the predominance of superstition in the movie. The slow first half is justified if the second half, after Nagarjuna's entry, had been any better. Unfortunately it's not. The introduction scene of Nagarjuna is the similar to Morgan Freeman in the original, but that's where the similarity ends. But instead of going uphill from there, the narration falls flat.
Most of the first half is spent in showing the harassment that Arjun and his grandmother tolerate from Satya's family. A little vulgar 'humor' comes in the form of Brahmanandam, who plays an astrologer and his voluptuous wife. Go figure. Then we have Mamta Mohandas with a haughty expression wearing corsets and mini-skirts in some town/village (why???). Her teeth-gritting suitor and that whole track trying to open the temple door just drags.
The scenes showing Arjun's unwavering dedication to Satya's family and the sentiment in scenes featuring Manorama works. Nagarjuna's appearance and Mohanbabu as a Fakir are impressive. Other than that, the direction and script are weak, and so are the performances as a consequence.
