The first half is promising, tightly edited and fast moving. There are jokes but they are not the typical humour one is used to seeing in a Dileep film. He doesn't go the usual over the top exaggerated slapstick route either . Prayaga plays the female lead, while Radhika acts as his mother whom the party pits against Ramanunni as the rival candidate.
