Performances: Allu Arjun does a good job, and plays the character of Krishna convincingly well. Its refreshing to see he learns from movie to movie, and there is definite improvement from his last movie for this young actor. Shiela is an unexpected choice for the director-producer to have made for this movie, not being quite established or glam, but the movie required someone like this so it makes sense. She looks at home playing a village girl and justifies her role (but the character itself is not as interestingly written as Ha-Ha-Hasini).

Prakashraj has the key role, which he does with elan, especially in the second half where a crucial sequence shows the soft interior in the tough and angry exterior of his character. There are striking similarities with his character in Bommarillu though. Subbaraju as his brother is good. Srinivasa Reddy, Suneel, Chitram Sreenu as Krishnas friends add to the humor element. Jayasudha in a brief cameo and Poonam Bajwa as Subbalaxmi make their presence felt.

Bhaskar seems to be a professional at understanding father-son, father-daughter relationship and its dynamics, and deals with it quite nicely. He leaves space for a father-daughter confrontation, but nothing similar to the father-son confrontation in his previous movie. The similarity in his debut and blockbuster Bommarillu and Parugu lies in the directors touch.

It is visible throughout and more strikingly in certain aspects, whereas the fact that he choose a very different set-up and atmosphere is likeable; there are some continuity glitches, but minor ones that do not interfere with the story in any way. The story or the narration is never sidelined, the movie itself is entertaining, very pacy and has enough doses of a bit of everything for the average viewer to enjoy and appreciate.

There is no side-tracking and the screenplay and narrative hold the viewers attention.

Music and Dance:The album is no great shakes, but the music has been used well in the movie. The background is strictly okay, but the music and picturizations of the songs has been done well.

It is not as light-hearted as Bommarillu-which really intensifies only in the end. Parugu starts off on a heavy note, infusing light-heartedness only through Krishna demeanor. Dil Rajus production, Aarya, also starring Arjun, had one pair eloping with the protagonist helping them.Thats where the similarity ends though, and the entire subject is on a different plane altogether. It is one of those movies that come into the category of family entertainment, and that itself is highly appreciated, as there seem to be a dearth of such movies now-a-days.

The other friends who get stuck in this mess, including a geeky character called Yogendra Sharma and his Ippudu mana position enti Sir?, the twist post-break that was surprising but not entirely unexpected and some key moments in the movie are well done.
