First half is dealt with humor and the actual story starts only after 1 and half hours. Mahesh Babu made the movie hilarious with his typical dialogue delivery never seen before. Second half has some real material. Humor element continues here as well. But emotion elements are forced but not convincing enough. Brahmanandam has got very small role. Sunil entertained very well. Anushka’s iron-body characterization is also interesting.

The fun of having a great star, a talented director and equally good cast and crew can be seen and felt through out the film. However, the treatment of the film could have been better. Watch it for Mahesh.

First half of the movie is entertaining though there is no story in it. Second half should have been better. Climax disappoints. Plus points of the movie are Mahesh Babu (terrific dialogue comedy and superb characterization) and Trivikram brand entertainment. On the flipside, the second half plays a spoilsport and movie lacks consistent tone. We have to wait and see how Khaleja works at the box office.

First half is too elastic. The actual story is understood only in last 30 minutes. It is difficult to understand what is happening on screen due to confused screenplay. A straight narration would have helped both director and audience in making and understanding respectively. This is a movie just for time pass but not to quench the thirst to watch a wonderful and captivating one.

The first half an hour of the second half is little boring as the director lost grip on the screenplay. Audiences loses their patience. But, Trivikram has tried to invoke the action drama to capture the attention of mass audiences. Action scenes in the film are quite stylish. Watch the film for Mahesh Babu’s performance and the witty dialogues by Trivikram.

The duo of Mahesh-Trivikram delivers a product that is watchable, entertaining with good humor, couple of well-orchestrated action sequences and songs and with a bit to take home as well. It's Mahesh's show all the way, much to the delight of his fans.

The movie can be watched boldly, happily with laughter along with entire family. Movie's first half is filled with hilarious comedy. The director has successfully continued the same comic tempo along with story in the second half also. Though a faint flavor of Devanand starred old time Bollywood classic "Guide" is felt here and there, but the director has well maintained in keeping the flick out of its shadow.
