1. Hero’s first step of heroism in the scene where all the gang members step back and hero remains there.
2. The interval block.
3. The set-up for ‘Everybody’ song.
4. The scene in which police commissioner explains about the vicious circle

Other departments: Cinematography of the film is excellent. The graphic-work/color-grading is also good. Devi Sri Prasad excels again with this film in terms of songs and background music. Background music helped the narration of the film. Songs picturization of the film is also good. ‘Violence’, ‘5 feet’ and ‘Everybody’ are excellently choreographed. The set-up for ‘Muddante Cheda’ song reminds us of ‘Humma Humma’ from Mani Ratnam's Bombay. Artwork is good. Editing is neat. Fights are pretty good. Producer Aditya Babu should be commended for making such a brave attempt to do this film. The production values are extraordinary.

Analysis: First half of the film is good. The tempo in second half goes down. The last twist of the film and the pre-climax episodes are bit unappealing. Director Sukumar selected a different subject and narrated it in his own style. But the main story point of the film is only revealed in the last 20 minutes. Hence the total orientation of the film takes U turn in the last 20 minutes. The plus points of the film are technical values and the first half. Director Sukumar should be commended for selecting a different theme. But the commercial success of the film depends on how the last 20 minutes appeal to the general moviegoer.

Tailpiece: There is one song in this film called ‘Voilence is a fashion”. But the makers have change it to ‘Jagadam is a fashion’ because censor board objected to the word 'voilence'. The censor members who don’t mind passing visuals of brutal bloodshed do seem to have a problem with the word ‘violence’.
