While the terrorists demand to release their leader Babur Khan and govt forced to follow their orders. Arjun and Roshini are struck in the college and what happens to their story? How does the students get saved from terrorists is all about the rest.

Performances

Raja Goutham comparative to his earlier two films gives a subtle performance and he justifies his role. He is Okay in dances and fights.

Alisha Baig looks mediocre and she delivers an okay job. Ranadhir plays crucial role and he is promising, Sayaji Shinde and Tanikella Bharani are convincing. Naveena Jackson looks bubbly. Dr. KSI performs well and others are adequate.

Analysis

Chaitanya Dantuluri came up with good storyline and he has put in efforts with a neat first half and creating a strong situation to the second half with interval bang. But the expectations don’t meet the expectations in latter half and the climax looked abrupt. The second half moves on a slow-pace, and the seriousness required for terrorism backdrop subject is missing. The forced heroism scenes like Gautam bashing up the intelligently shown terrorists has killed the needed effect on the screens and looked like amateur handling. The second half had its promising moments but with the way, a brilliant situation has been handled in ordinary way with cinematic liberties made Basanti a half-baked script.

Mani Sharma's background score, cinematography and the dialogues are additional assets of the movie. The screenplay could have been much gripping for such crucial stories.
