Keerthi Suresh gave a career defining performance. Fitting into Savitri's shoes is always a herculean task, but she gave her everything to match it. Splendid job.

Nag Ashwin's detail into every scene is worth appreciable. He did a superb job.

Samantha, after Rangasthalam, got yet another good role. She is good and her climax portion acting is worth mentioning.

Vijay Devarakonda is decent.

Music by Mickey is an asset. BGM score is superb.
