"Vishnu looks at his best. He has shown good ease and excels in fights and dances. Production values of the film are grand. Direction is good in parts. The first half of the film is just good. Though the interval bang aroused some curiosity, the director succeeds to capitalize on it. YVS always has a trademark name associated with songs and he kept up his standards. The film consists of good fight sequences."
"Vishnuvardhan Babu, the young hero who is ranked last in today's genre of young heroes is struggling hard with his career after successful "Dhee". YVS Chowdary, after shaping "Okka Magaadu" into a damn failure is packed up for nearly one and half year. With the combination of these two, one would generally expect a dumb movie, but spicy Ileana along with versatile artist Mohanbabu's presence in "Saleem" and being made on prestigious "Laxmi Prasanna" banner as their 50th movie with highest budget ever on this banner has raised too many expectations on this movie.Vishnuvardhan as Saleem and Munna had improved in all the departments. Vishnu looked handsome with his lean look in stylish costumes. Vishnu changed his entire get up for Saleem and it looked worth. "

Vishnu Manchu has toned down his body and looking stylish and lean in his new Avatar. He improved tremendously in all departments compared his earlier movies. He worked really hard in dances and it shows up. He used different Telugu dialects with good effect. And the credit for his looks should go to his wife Veranica who did the wardrobe and styling for Vishnu. Vishnu looks dashing in this movie.Mohan Babu comes up with another fabulous and entertaining performance in Saleem. He did the role of a comedy villain and he is at his best when he says 'Boom Boom Bhulak'. He excelled while uttering the dialogue. Hissong with Kaveri Jha must be the best song in his career. He is wonderful in the song.
