Story : 

A well knit tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Golconda High school which was once   known for being the cricket champions. However, that is a story of 15 years and now, the   school’s trustee Kireeth (subbaraju) has got his eyes on the school ground so that he can   build coaching centers. In order to stop that, principal Viswanatham (tanikella) decides   to call one of his ex-student and the best cricket player Sampath (sumanth) to coach the   school team. Sampath agrees and has a challenge with Kireeth. If the team wins the trophy, the ground will remain and if not, it will be taken. What happens from there forms the   rest of the story. 

Presentation : 

The director has come up with an impressive storyline and both the presentation and   narrative were top notch. The dialogues were neat, the script was clean and few catchy   moments. The screenplay was excellent. Background score was catchy and there are only two   songs worth listening. Cinematography was the highlight and gave a natural feel. Editing   was crisp. Costumes were apt while the art department looked fine. Sumanth has come up   with a decent performance and he suited the bill rightly. Swathi looks alright but looks more beautiful if she should have avoided the sarees. Tanikella was elegant. Subbaraju was   good, Shafi was entertaining, Hema was brief. The real showstealers were the boys who   showed confidence and ease in front of the camera. 

Conclusion : 

The film is based on the book ‘The Men Within’ and it has been made with a very noble   intention. While the first half goes on a light note with entertaining aspects and a pinch   of romance, it is the second half that gets charged up and the final twenty minutes form   the highlight. Overall, this is a film which instills confidence. The flip side is that   there are no commercial values so the film would be suitable for the families and the class audience. A little word of mouth publicity will give this film a deserving success. So We wish all the best to sumanth career with this flick.
