The movie has the familiar caste issue as its theme and the same story of lovers belonging to different castes and their struggles against the heavy odds. But what makes this movie different is its absolute grace in handling the hackneyed story line , be it the romance between the protagonists or their lovers' quarrels. The music is absolutely brilliant, in all its aspects - the background score, the songs. The photography, the locale etc are perfect and adds to the thrill and beauty of the movie. Above all, it is the characters , the hero ( Akash ) and the heroine ( Rinku ) who stand out and whose thespian skills are amazing. There is no melodrama or loud histrionics - for which such movies are well known - and there are no emotion laden dialogues. The characters have considerable depth and each character is unique and a stand out. Even the side characters like the friends circle of the hero and heroine like Salya, Balya and Mangya convey a lot of finesse and depth especially in the context of an Indian movie that too of the commercial genre. The director Nagraj has to be commended on his work especially the characterization and the setting up of thrilling scenes. The ending is a bit horrific and so sudden that it somewhat reduces the pleasant impact of the movie up until that moment.
When you come out of the movie theater, you have a feeling of time well spent, even though on further analysis you feel that the movie has nothing new to offer, no novelty or creativity in its making, as the theme is quite beaten and over used. But still, something about this movie makes it offbeat, worth watching and that is where the credit is due to the unique handling by the director. Also, perhaps this is where you have to be aware of the saying: Analysis leads to paralysis.
