Music Director : Vijay Anthony

Director : J.Siva Kumar

Producer : Burugupalli Shiva Rama Krishna

Entertainment Box Rating : 3/5

Plus Points :

The movie runs in RGB mode (Red,Green,Blue).

Raviteja is going to appear in Dual Role after 'Vikramarkudu'.

First Character As Minister Ravindra.

Second Character Appears As A petty thief Bullet Raja.

The movie is touted to be a socio-fantasy entertainer and will be on the lines of Mega Star Chiranjeevi's 'Yamudiki Mogudu'.

Vijay Anthoni's BackGround Scores is Good.

Brahmanandham & Vennela Kishore Comedy Is Hillarious .

Siva's direction is good.

Minus Points :

First half totally  Mega Star Chiranjeevi's 'Yamudiki Mogudu' Dinchesadu

Tapsee disappoints in a very insignificant role. She only has a perpetually shocked expression on her face throughout the movie. Her acting skills need polish and she needs to learn to emote.

The film is excessively loud in many places and the length is a tad too long. While Ravi Teja’s pre-interval performance as the Home Minister is good, his performance gets very repetitive in the rest of the film. It is time for him to try something different.

M.S.Narayana is wasted as Chitragupta and his characterization is poor. Same is the case with Sushant Singh. The placement of songs in the film leaves much to be desired, especially in the second half. None of the songs are appealing and they act as speed breakers.

The Yamalokam set and the graphics are atrociously bad and I have not seen such shoddy work in recent times. There is a green mat which acts as the flooring and the visuals give the impression that the actors are standing on uneven ground.

There are many holes in the plot. When your face resembles the face of the Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh, will you and the people around you fail to see that? The abrupt change of heart shown by Shayaji Shinde and Avinash is not convincing.

Totally :

Daruvu is a very routine and unexciting offering from Ravi Teja and that is a bigdisappointment, given his considerable talent and incredible energy levels. He tries his best to make the film work but there is not much he can do when there are a host of other issues with the film. Poor graphics,lengthy narration and bad music are glaring problems. There are a few good moments in the film, but the key word here is ‘few’. Watch the movie without any expectations only if you are a Ravi Teja fan.

Entertainment Box Rating : 3/5
