PERFORMANCE:
Ram who is known for showing good ease in dances and fights, once again excelled in both of them. In addition, with the help of director Sreenu Vaitla, he was able to showcase good comedy in his role. He improved his body language a lot and bettered in histrionics. All the action scenes were quite stylish. In order to add a pinch of salt to his acting capability, director made him to sport the attires of Krishh and spiderman in two scenes, which evoked lot of entertainment. Genelia, not only filled the glamour slot, but also had got a lot of chances to show her ability to perform. Her role is like an extension to her characters in 'Bommarillu' and 'Dhee'. She played her role with a fantastic smile all through the film. Next comes, Brahmanandam, the ace comedian, who gave a brilliant performance. Once again proved that he is second to none in giving a healthy comedy. All the artistes in the film including Nazar, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Jayaprakash Reddy, Tanikella Bharani, Sudha, Surekhavani, Saranya and others did complete justice to their roles. Nagababu, Tamanna, Navadeep made a guest appearance in the movie.
TECHNICAL:
Kona Venkat gave a very good story for the film, besides assisting Gopi Mohan in scripting the dialogues. It was the screenplay penned by Sreenu Vaitla which was so perfect that the audiences are forced to sit tight in their seats. He made them to feel that they would miss a good comedy scene in case they move out of the seat. Camera work by Prasad Murella is okay and choreography of all the songs and fights were perfect. The audiences can't feel any kind of boredom all through the film. Sreenu Vaitla once again proved that he had a good command in bringing out commercial entertainers. In a nutshell, he achieved the hattrick of successes through 'Ready' after two hits like 'Dubai Sreenu' and 'Dhee'. Music by Devisri Prasad is okay but the tunes appeared a little routine, when compared with his other films. The production values of Sravanti Movies are good.
REMARKS:
Though the entire film was a complete entertainment, the director chose to end the film with a poor climax. The climax was a little dull. The audiences expect a good action scene in the end but it ends casually. Despite a poor end, the basic theme of giving a good entertainment to the audiences was achieved. Hence the film would definitely remain a good entertainer and worth watching. Another notable feature in the film is that there are no item songs and the film could be watched by the entire family by sitting together.
