Direction, Script and Screenplay – The Script has nothing much to speak of. As I have mentioned earlier. It is the same old masala entertainer. The first half seems good but the second hald tends to get a little boring with a lot of violence involved. Definitely not recommended for kids. The script also suffers from the lack of characterization of most of the characters expect our ‘Naayak’. The direction too has been mediocre, though the song sequences has been well captured. The Camera work is good in patches and the story takes unexpected twists at palces you wouldn’t expect and that was a little too much for my liking. Overall the script is loose, the camera is haphazard and direction falls flat on its face. Bad work here. This movie was just made to make the cash registers ring in the box office.
How is Music, Songs and Dances?
Thaman’s re-recording is too good and worked out big time in elevating the scenes. Excellent dances of Charan, scenic locations had worked wonders for the already chart buster audio.
2. Pale climax
3. Too much of violence and rope work in fights.
Final Verdict Overall, VV Vinayak may not have given a great screenplay, but he has had a high entertainment quotient with his narration. His mass appearance has doubled up Ram Charan's performance. Naayak is a perfect Sankranthi entertainer.

Artists Performance
Ram Charan: Ram Charan is slowly getting into the shoes of Chiranjeevi. His body language is very similar to that of Chiranjeevi in this movie. Charan character is lighter-veined one and Nayak character is a serious one. He has come up with tremendous steps in all songs - be it a melody or a fast number. However, there are no variations in these two characters as he need to confuse villains in the later part of the movie.
Other actors: Kajal Agarwal and Amala Paul share screen presence with Ram Charan in the first half and second half respectively. Charmme who is looking slimmer has sizzled in ‘Nellore’ item song and she is pretty good. Jaya Prakash Reddy entertains with his typical rayalaseema accent. Posani Krishna Murali is hilarious in the second half as a rowdy who goes through reformation. Brahmanandam is very good as Jilebi, an old bachelor whose attempted match-fixing leads to the story in the first half. Pradeep Rawat is strictly average as main villain. Rahul Dev starts off as a villain and ends up as a comedian. Kota Srinivasa Rao is under-utilized. Rajiv Kanakala plays a small yet vital role. MS Narayana did his typical role of drunkard CBI officer.

How is the Cinematography?
Chota K. Naidu’s camera work is wonderful as always. The entire movie is colourful with excellent grading. He captured the scenic beauty of Iceland wonderfully.
