Connoisseurs of Bollywood extravaganzas may sneer at the Disney backed musical/fantasy/adventure/romance epic...but it is an absolute delight for a more casual view on a wintry afternoon. Initial surprise at the studio that Walt built branching out into such exotic territory...but when the narrative begins spinning charming echoes of "Snow White" into the mix (the wicked sorceress here has a much flashier wardrobe...but she could be the snake haired sister of Snow's nasty nemesis).Add in a few dashes of "the Wizard Of Oz", some lavish, and to me vastly entertaining, production numbers...and a very surprising nod to "Zatoichi" the blind Japanese swordsman and you get a very diverting two hours.This film is also of interest for it's interesting blending of CGI / Green screen spectacle and lavish shot on location scenic splendor...The costumes are lavish, the lead actors are ravishing, the good vs evil plot works very sweetly...and the surprisingly squishy violence will guarantee that nobody falls asleep...All in all a lovely way to kill a cold winter afternoon!

The big guns "Disney" entered into Tollywood with this movie. The movie had a lot of hype from the day one, the whole cast and crew are responsible for such expectations like the actors Siddharth, Sruthi Hassan, Lakshmi Manchu and the veteran director's son's first movie in a fantasy cum epic adventure.The first time I watched the trailer of the movie, I felt this is a must-watch one in 2011 films. Though I didn't have much expectations on this film as such, I was satisfied that it was a good movie.One of the reasons the film wasn't appreciated by many is because the story slightly deviates from the main plot the film is supposed to move on, but overall it has all elements that a family could watch, though the comedy sector needed some refinement.The roles were well chosen for especially Laksmi Manchu as Irendri. Sruthi Hassan was extremely beautiful and glamorous in those rich costumes, Siddharth was OK, Harshitha was good as MokshaThe debacle of the movie is the music department(which i don't want to talk about at all), the story is average, but will be a nice entertainer to watch along with your family. Since, it is a Disney production, don't expect it to be in Hollywood levels, the good point of the director is he kept in mind about those aspects that B or C class audience also enjoy it.Overall I give : 8/10.

The movie magnet "disney" had entered Telugu field with this movie. The movie is rich in it's photography,visual effects and costumes.The draw back is a week story line,a regular old story.It might be made quite interesting but prakash failed in doing so.The makeup work is absolutely superb for laxmi and sruthi hassan.Sruthi looked like an angel and have no words to describe her.Siddarth is not apt for this kind of movies. First 15 minutes of movie is rich in visual effects and story drags at siddarth's flash back.Songs are disastrous and irritate.This kind of movies must not have them.I don't understand why the heroin is in caves protected by snakes those who die at a single shot from siddhu's knief.And even laxmi at climax dies for a single knife shot.This is a movie to watch at home but not theaters.Finally prakash will have a very good future if he concentrates on story
