[edit] Plot
Lakshmi Narasimha (Balakrishna) is a strict police officer who does not mind making his own rules to bring justice to the public. Once, he was indirectly affected by the goon Dharma Bhiksham (Prakash Rai) which costs him his sister and lots of properties of his native village. But Dharma Bhiksham does not know that it was Lakshmi Narasimha who got affected by him. After a few months, Lakshmi Narasimha is transferred to Vijayawada. Dharma Bhiksham rules the mafia world from Vijayawada. Though, a strict police officer - he compromises with Dharma Bhiksham and takes bribes to the tune of one and half crores. He takes the bribes and then invests all the money into rehabilitating his native village affected by Dharma Bhiksham. Dharma Bhiksham comes to know about it and rebels against Lakshmi Narasimha. The rest of the story is all about how Lakshmi Narasimha puts an end to the life of Dharma Bhiksham using illegal methods.
Bala Krishna is looking extremely handsome in the police attire. He is pretty romantic in teasing scenes with Asin. He is excellent in emotional scenes, especially in the one where he utters ferocious dialogues with Ahuti Prasad before climax to an exhilarating effect. He did well in the 'Jadakotti' and 'Neetoti Naaku panundi' dance numbers. Balayya did well in fights department as well.
