Analysis:

Anil Ravipudi who worked for films like Kandireega and Aagadu in the direction department has turned into a filmmaker with a pucca-commercial potboiler 'Patas'. He made good use of his years of experience to deliver an out-and-out entertainer which is racy from the moment go. Taut Screenplay, Good dose of comedy and Heroism elevating scenes have overcome the drawbacks of choosing a routine and predictable story.

Sai Kartheek's songs were decent and background score is pretty good. Cinematography is decent. Dialogues pack a punch. Editing is crisp. Production Values of NTR Arts are good.

NTR's voice over in the beginning of the movie appealing people to be careful while driving on roads is a good gesture. Remix of Balakrishna's Arey O Samba is like a feast for Nandamuri Fans.

Box Office: 'Patas' released in 350-plus screens Worldwide. Its certain to recover the investment within the first week and enters profit zone from thereafter. Kalyan Ram will be more than happy as 'Patas' stands as his best work post 'Athanokkade' and Dil Raju who acquired the distribution rights will have the last laugh.

Verdict: Entertainment Guaranteed!
