9/10
Nice Portrayal of Friendships-Confusion-Love
20 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Story : Story is wafer thin. It is just a compilation of some incidents faced by a group of friends in their college life.

Performances : All the actors except Tamannah are new and everyone acted well. More than their performances, the characters suit them as all are young, fresh looking and tender.

Story-Screenplay-Direction-Dialogues : There is no significant story to keep you hooked but Screenplay did the magic. Sekhar Kammula's narration is absolutely superb. There are only few dull moments in the entire film. His direction is nearly flawless. But following points are little unconvincing, 1) Kamalini Mukherjee's episode -> This is really the baddest part of the movie.

2) Scientific techniques used by Tyson -> Unconvincing. If you take it for fun purpose, it is okay. But some critical incidents in the movie happen due to these Techniques.

3) Little far from reality -> It is best to be viewed as fantasy than a realistic one. Because, apart from some ragging incidents, most of the scenes are less likely to happen in real engineering life. But the movie as a whole is a beautiful fantasized version of college life.

Music & Background Score : Music is the heart and soul of this film. This is easily one of the best soundtracks I heard in my life. Mickey J Meyer's music is both melodious and foot tapping. Background Score is an extension to the songs. Parts of songs are nicely incorporated into background score for some vital scenes and that is great. In a way, the soundtrack makes this film a wonderful musical experience.

Other Departments : Editing, Photography and Art work are superb.

Final Piece : Watch this film only for its Refreshing entertainment, excellent dialogues and awesome music. But do not expect your college life to be like this. College days are definitely the happiest days of one's life but the incidents shown in the movie are little fantasized and some cinematic liberties were taken. On a whole, it is a beautiful feel good film.
