This film can be considered as a 3rd part of NTR biopic or an extension to NTR Kathanayakudu & Mahanayakudu. It highlighted the points like - the situations that made NTR to marry Lakshmi Parvathi, Viceroy hotel ( Back stabbing or internal party decisions) , NTR's death. In first half, RGV tried his level best to portray the relationship between NTR and LP as if it was driven by eternal love or service oriented motto. LP's intervention in the story /film making can be easily understood as the story was once sided ( show cased LP as the best woman any husband can get) , many situations in the first half were between NTR & LP ( as NTR is not alive now, only LP could have provided this info despite she claimed of no intervention in the film making) . First half for LP would almost be like Sanju for Sanjay dutt. Finally 1st half can be concluded as a love story that led to 2nd marraige of 69 years old widower & 39 years old divorcee ( she divorced her 56 years old husband to marry NTR) and was lagged unnecessarily.
In the second half, the viceroy hotel concept was brilliantly shown as if the whole motto of the film was to highlight this. Apart from this, the scenes between family members couldn't hold that good and didnt add any weight to the film. Back ground score was fab, particularly in the sensitive scenes. Song sung by SPB stood out well. It's of no use to talk about Cinematography / Screenplay / Production values ( almost looked like a TV serial) . Actors in LP & CBN's role did impressive work and in NTR's role was just ok. NTR's dubbing sounded like mimicry. Rest all were not upto the level to mention their work. The film could be boring/lagged for normal audiences & can entertain a set of audience who doesn't like CBN. Being aware of this Viceroy episode, CBN became CM in 1999 & 2014. Could have released in AP too as it doesn't actually impact elections. It's not RGV standard movie.
