The Performance
Debutante Madhurima steals the show as she is the central character in the entire plot of the film. Ajay and Suresh Gopi carry on with their roles as they have not been delineated properly.
Nazar and Vijay Chander essay their cameos well. Sunil and Dharmavarapu carry on in their typical styles. All others are quite adequate for their roles.
The Techniques
NS Murthy, making his debut as director, has taken a thriller genre film and made a fairly good job of it. Mixing thrillers with mainstream film format makes the narration less gripping. Aa Okkadu ReviewHowever, the screenplay starts sedately and gains momentum slowly and picks up the necessary grip from denouement to climax, where the finishing line has a twist.
Dialogues lack the punch and that particular slant that aids a suspense thriller. Kamalakar’s cinematography and MR Varma’s editing are reasonable, but should have been crisper to enhance the narration value. Music of Manisharma is hummable.

The Verdict
This is a crime thriller with suspenseful narration with adequate chills and a climax twist, but the title is misleading. Aa Okkadu might appeal to urban audience.
