It's hilarious. Everyone is saying it. Rightfully so. There are 8-9 solid misdirection jokes which you don't see coming. 'Ah pilla ki life idham anukuntunna ra', 'Vadilesthava?'
Stuff like this, you don't see it coming and you can't help but laugh. I think the film has all kinds of comedy. There is slapstick comedy - the parts where they go into each other's cars. There is parody - the court scenes, and the huge monologues. There is witty word play - unnollu, lenollu. Kickass one liners. The laughter in the theatre felt like the audience wouldn't even care about the film having a thread or a closure. Even if the court scene ended with the credits, everyone would've gone home satisfied. It's that intense laughter that it generates.
Naveen Polishetti uses all his skills in the film. The improvisational fumbling that he does. He tries to add something in everything he does. We can clearly see his characteristics coming through in every character he played. ACID, Agent and here. I loved all of them. But now, I would like to see him doing something where I can only see the character and not him. I have a strong feeling he can be an intense actor too, where he is totally into the character. I'd like to see him explore drama, and different kinds of genres. In Agent, there was a bit of that but I want to see him do a full fledged dramatic role.
