Chiru continues to be after the gangster but he too gets exposed and the story culminates with Chiru mustering up all his courage strength out of his survival instinct to kill the entire gang. What happens next? Will Chiru be able to eliminate the gang leader too? What happens to his father?

Watch the movie to know.

Review: Chiranjeevi Sarja has evolved as an actor. Career best performance perhaps for a boy who was seen in movies like varadhanayaka, chandralekha etc. Radhika Kumaraswamy has made her perfect comeback. Her acting skills are intact. The villain' diction deserves all praise. He's the next Sai Kumar of the southern film industry. Kolar, as the choice of place has certainly worked. The film will sure appeal to both the Telugu and the Kannada audience.

Rating: 3/5
