A film made with lot of care has given birth to a new hero Vidyabharan. He is handsome and sweet in looks on screen. Vidybharan steals the show in action and sentiment scenes.

Telugu speaking director Nageah Nardasi has got the ‘Butter’ – hero and production team but he has failed to make it ghee and prepare favorite sweets for audience. The protracted style and till interval of the film nothing captivating is the major worry for this film.

However the concept of dignity of labor, equality and love dangling in the case of Viraaj is tolerable. The film set in two different environments – the two rich families of city and village is eye opener when it comes to the topic of looking at the people who work around us.

Viraaj falls in love but Nandini express it to him in front of his grandparents. At the engagement the problem crops up as father of Nandini always vouch for status in the society. This is what Viraaj grandfather Devaraj disliked. The engagement is at stake now.

Nandini and Viraaj obviously support the stand of their respective elders in the family. Why love should suffer because of the status war?

When everything is OK once again problem creates. But last time they drop engagement and straightaway go for marriage.

Vidyabharan has to improve in his dialogue delivery, Shirin looks very sweet, Jai Jagadish, Swathi, Devaraj and Vinayaprasad  have given decent performance.

The music and cinematography of this film is in good standards. For the family audience it is a hassle free watch.

Rating:3.5 /5 ****
