Plot: Bottle Mani (Sharan), called so because he kills with beer bottles, is a rowdy who has been put in jail. While he is inside serving his time, an imposter (Sharan) lands himself a job to kill a rich old man in a palace, because he was mistaken for Bottle Mani. The fake Mani and his accomplice have been asked to kill Neelakanta Raju (Ramakrishna) by his three son-in-laws so that they can take his property. Mani has to pretend to be the man's long lost grandson, Veera Raja Rajendra Click to look into! >> Read More... . Neelakanta's granddaughter, Swati ( Ishita Dutta Ishita Dutta is the sister of Femina Miss India Un >> Read More... ), falls in love with him. In a twist of events, Bottle Mani finds out about his imposter and ends up in the same mansion. The presence of Mani in the mansion turns out to be lucky, though, because he saves the royal family from real harm, as the ghost of Raja Rajendra has entered him. The real chaos afterwards and climax left to be seen.

Analysis: Actor Sharan is spectacular throughout. He has great skills- be it acting or dancing. He shows potential to make it big. He's done multiple roles and tailors himself according to each. Ishita Dutta is really beautiful on screen as well and really portrays her character, despite being a newcomer. Other appearances worth mentioning are - Ramakrishna, Suchendra Prasad, Kuri Pratap, and Tabla Nani. Despite the makers thinking that they've added comedy throughout, there's no humour at all. Overall it is a lot of sad attempts to tickle the audience's funny bone. The real fun, however, is the last part - towards the climax - when Sharan isn't seen much, but the supporting roles really come through. The comedy is here mostly situational and of the slapstick variety. The screenplay is at fault a lot of times - and even the music does little to save it. At least, the movie isn't very long and the editing is just right. All in all, just okay.

Star Performances: P Kumar did the direction, screenplay and story. The dialogues were by Anil Kumar Anil Kumar was widely recognized in the India Film >> Read More... . It was produced by Uday K Mehtha under the Vasavi Enterprises banner. M V Panneer Selvam did the cinematography. Moves were choreographed by Murali, while Thriller Manju Thriller Manju is a person who has left no stone u >> Read More... did the stunts. Jo Ni Harsha served as editor. A lot of dubbing artists were involved. The movie's songs are Mini Mini Vajramuni, Madhyana Kanasinalli, Haadu Haadutheeni and Raja Rajendra. Sharan also sang one of these songs. V Nagendra Prasad wrote lyrics for two of them. The music director was Arjun Janya.

What's there?

1. The acting, dialogue delivery, and overall moves and timing by both lead actors and supporting cast is great. A special mention is Sharan, who was extraordinary.

2. Every character is important, and they've been given depth, even if they don't appear for a long time.

3. Panneer Selvam has done a commendable job with the camera and the colours.

What's not there?

1. Sharan's movies usually have great songs - but not this one. They're very less lyrical and mostly music

. 2. The screenplay should've been much better, and there's one too many dramatic sequences in the climax that could've been cut out.

Verdict: The movie doesn't have a lot of enjoyable humour - but it is a good attempt. It is a family entertainer despite ghosts, and you will leave with a smile because the ending is fantastic.
