While fleeing from the crime scene, he unintentionally becomes the cause for the death of a stranger called Pardhoo (Rajiv Kanakala), an youngster who ran away from home as a child, now returning home after 12 years. Nandu assumes the identity of Pardhoo and enters his household in a remote village to escape from the cops. From there on Nandu’s life takes a very unpredictable turn. Is Nandu just a heartless killer who perpetrates crime or he himself is the victim of a larger conspiracy whose knowledge would devastate Nandu.Trisha is gorgeous. Technically, the film is rated on par with the best in Hollywood. Cinematographer KV Guhan deserves a pat on his back for his fine work. Action by Peter Hynes is excellent. Production values of Jayabheri who have made a film after a long hiatus, are extra ordinary. A MUST OWN DVD.
