Director Hemanth M Rao has once again proved his mettle in handling the megaphone with aplomb for movies filled with love and emotion. He has successfully ensured all the actors follow the content. His USP is to ensure actors sharing screen space as per the importance of the characters they played in the movie.

Rakshit Shetty has proved his mettle once again in this movie. Rukmini looks cute and beautiful smile is infectious and haunting.

Sharath Lohitasva, Pavithra Lokesh, Avinash provide good support. Achyuth Kumar played a different character.

Charan Raj`s music is soothing. The drawback of the movie is the slow narration during the pre-intermission session.

It is worth watching for class and mass audiences.
