For the unknown reasons, it is releasing after one year. Produced by Miryala Ravindar Reddy, let’s see how it works on us!!

His background score has taken the movie to another level. Cinematography by Don MacArthur is fantastic. Visuals are riveting are engaging throughout the movie. Editing by Anthony is good, should have done better job in the second half. Songs are well choreographed as well as action sequences. Production values are so rich.

Verdict
Saahasham Swaasaga Saagipo begins on a lighter and poetic note which has moments of love and fresh love story. Scenes between Naga Chaitanya Akkineni and Manjima Mohan are interesting and works out very well. Youth connects well with these scenes. Songs are used as background score or songs are picturised as montage sequences. All the songs are completed in the first half itself. Begins go into another level where auditorium erupt with excitement with Vellipomaake song. It comes at a perfect moment and makes the movie and even the chemistry between the leads work well. This half is nice although it runs in slow pace. First half had breezy love story and second half is more on action. Climax could have been much better to appeal more. Gautam Vasudev Menon comes out of his comfort zone and made this film more commercial compared to his previous movies. He has chosen a fresh way of narration which appeal only to youth. He has shown Naga Chaitanya Akkineni in best way possible and shown something which he did not do for a long time. To summarise, this movie is a show of Naga Chaitanya’s action shade!
