As he come close to his parents who are not aware that Nandakumar is their son the villain €“ uncle of Nandakumar try to usurp the entire property. But before this there is an interesting flash black that explains why Nandakumar was neglected after his birth by parents. The birth of a child will ruin the life of father is the speculation of astrologer. This is like the situation of Lord Krishna birth and Kamsa getting ready to destroy the child. But in this script there is an ulterior motive of an uncle of a protagonist.

Shivarajkumar reminds his father the icon Dr.Rajkumar in at least four places. The mother sentiment between him and Jayasudha is excellent. In dance and fights Shivarajkumar is electrifying. Jayasudha back on Kannada screen has given a convincing performance. It is Rakshita with her breezy performance, very fine looks, costumes and charm attracts. If she is planning to retire from acting she should not do so. She can accept a role of this type in her career.

Avinash, Doddanna and Shobaraj aptly suit in their supporting roles. Vinayaprakash who comes in a flash is impressive.

S.A.Rajkumar has allowed the lyrics to hear properly in three well scored tunes. Aparanji Aparanji€¦., song shot at Egypt is a treat to watch for Shivrajkumar fans. The graphic work done for this song and Nannavale Nannavale€¦.., takes the film to greater heights. Usireredha Devi Neena€¦.., a song on mother sentiment is superb.

Das is once again delectable in his cinematography. The outdoor especially of foreign locations are beautifully captured.

This is a film with sentiments, suspense, action and good songs which you cannot miss.
