Jr. NTR's much awaited Devara coming with the SSR sentiment has created alot of buzz but how far it succeeded to break the curse is to read along.

All about Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. Vivek Athreya after some light hearted emotional-comedy ventures like Brochevaarevarura, Ante Sundaraaniki- dwells into a complete out & out action mass entertainer- Saripodhaa Sanivaaram with a new concept & screenplay. This Nani starring action film is all about what the trailer summed up to.

Like usual, the plot offers nothing new- it's the same old
