What forms next concludes the film on a happy note.

Potugadu fame Sakshi Chaudhary tries to showcase her every asset to grab the attention. Sakshi looks dashing in the first half, but her acting is extremely weak. Allari Naresh gets a new tagline with this film – Sudden Star. The actor excels in scenes which have his office colleagues, the actor doesn’t seem comfortable pulling off the comic tinges and it would have be best left unsaid for the parts he tries to dominate through his emotional histrionics. Comedian Praveen merely plays one of those character roles that everyone has got used to seeing him do, he doesn’t make an impression and Raghu, Raghu Babu, Jaya Prakash doesn’t live upto their expectations and manage to evoke few laughs here and there. Ashish Vidhyarthi is merely included to serve and Prudhvi is over the top still fun to watch him in a Legend-Simha fusion spoof. Posani Krishna Murali excels once again as a Soap fan.

The story idea of “James Bond” is directly taken from Korean 2001 action entertainer “My Wife Is A Gangster”. The theme was good but its lacks the required entertaining execution for a comedy. The script fails to entertain and also could not make use of talented starcast it had. Balakrishna’s Legend – Simha dialogues are also used in a comic way, but this too falls flat. The director Sai Kishore (Protégé of Srinu Vaitla) couldn’t catch the right inspirit of the movie with no peculiar scene worth talking about. It looked like he was in so much hurry to make this film that he forgot to work on the screenplay and on the comedy sequences. Director and Writer completely lack the perfect comic timing. You feel restless watching the movie as it becomes bore and slow most of the times.

Music department (handled by Sai Karthik) only comes with one good song, “Oh Jaane Jaana” and all the other songs are below average. Songs in the second half were not at all needed as they slow down the pace of the film. The background score gives déjà vu of other famous tracks. The cinematography by Damu Narrav is neat. The witty one liners are fairly nice and at times put a smile on your face. The rhyming lines were not completely necessary everytime. Editor (by M R Varma) of the film by could have easily cut short the film by 20 odd minutes. The visual effects were not upto the mark. Production Values of A K Entertainments India Pvt. Ltd are fine.

 It’s always hard to make a decent action comedy film than an emotional drama or an action thriller. The reason being there is a small line between an funny sequence and a cheap episode trying to make you laugh. “James Bond” should be considered in the second class where you keep expecting some good comedy and sequences, but nothing comes, the films ends just like that. All in all, James Bond neither matches up to Allari Naresh’s entertainment standards nor original (My Wife is a Gangster) film standard.
