But as time passes by, two of his sons who have issues of their own get into various problems creating tension in Dharmapuri.

What’s Good :
Satyadev Kancharana is superb in his complex role and surprises with his acting capability. Chandini Chowdary looks gorgeous as the village belle. LB Sriram is the best of the lot in his negative role. The characters have been established quite well and the conflict point showcased is good. The initial segments establish the characters whereas the last five episodes have solid drama and gripping narration
Final Word
