tries to stalking her. Seeing this Siddharth gets frustrated with the
new born friendship and tries stop every attempt Chandu pens to get cozy
with Nandini. In this process, Siddharth gets to know about Chandu’s
criminal background. What did Chandu do? Why did he have a criminal
charge sheet? Will Nandini accept a criminal’s love? Forms the rest of
the storyline.
Rough Review - Star Performance
Aadi is dolefully wasted in films like this. Even in films like
Sukumarudu and Pyaar Mein Padipoyaane we haven’t seen him go over the
board like he did it here. With every film Aadi is digging himself a
deeper hole that he will eventually fall into. Rakul Preet Singh plays a
typical cardboard character in the film and she has absolutely nothing
to do, except dance and expose. Comedy by Shiva Reddy and Raghu Babu
failed to tickle the funny bones. Ajay and Supreet look disinterested in
their roles. Late Srihari is very limited in small role. The other
characters like Tanikella Bharini, Kasi Viswanadh and Suhasini just make
their presence felt.
Rough Review - Techinical Team
CH Subba Reddy (protégé of Surrender Reddy) is abrupt and muddy. I
doubt the director had in his mind the correct picture of what he
intended to say in this film. His woolly-headed thoughts were visible on
celluloid due to the multiple logic lapses all through the script. The
lack of confidence became evident as the story advanced towards
emotional depth when instead of rising to the occasion, the film maker
ducked beneath needless songs and commercial changes to the storyline.
The cinematography is sharp as the cinematographers Senthil & Aruna Kumar capture foreign locals’ in the songs. The music of the film by Manisharma is a huge letdown and lacks any hummable songs which could have given it a big lift. The background score fails to elevate any scene in the film. Dialogues by Marudhuri Raja are good in parts. Like Bullet-u Rocket-u doosukuntu pothaayi chusukuntu poovu, Preminchina ammayini pellichesukuntana lena anni alochinchukoni premischali and Prathi okkadu premichali preminchaka pothe kodthanu. Fights in the film composed by four different fight masters failed horribly. Editor Marthand K Venkatesh could have easily cut short the film by 30 odd minutes. Even transitions between the scenes are not smooth. Production values of Sridevi Entertainments are fine.

Rough Review - Analysis
Rough fails to deliver in these aspects. The direction and
screenplay have made proceeding so squashy, so predictable. The whole
narrative and the character development are amateurish. The story is
outdated, the characterizations are stereotypic and one dimensional, the
acting is extremely weak. The formula of adding romance, silly comedy
and over the top action in a film, doesn’t assure that it’ll be a
commercial hit, this concept outdated a decade ago. All in all, Rough
gives a weird sense of disappointment, the kind that you get even when
you weren't expecting anything to begin with.
