After a film with rare sensibilities like Chandamama Kathalu, Praveen Sattaru has returned with a film that plays to the gallery. Even before Guntur Talkies' release, the actors made it clear that it's an A-rated film, making sure that the audience are in for some in-your-face stuff. In her interview to IndiaGlitz, Rashmi Gautam went as far as to advise adults to lock their children up and go to theatres. As the film begins, the first thing an actor does is to gently chide those audience who have brought children along to theatres.

To be fair to the makers, they have done their part to advise the audience to watch the film responsibly.

As far as how imaginative the vulgarity is, Praveen Sattaru has failed to push the envelope. It's not mere regurgitation of some imported ideas for sure, but it's not a re-imagination of vulgarity either. What is striking for the average Telugu audience is that an actor in his '50s (Naresh) has essayed a bold role. While the scenes showing elaborately the excitement of Giri (Naresh) and Hari (Siddu), the two voyeurs, over watching a sexual act, and Giri reading soft porn in toilet are unseen-before in Telugu cinema, they are not original either.

Shraddha Das' perversion is funnily portrayed, but her role, too, seems fashioned.
