Story & Screenplay : Okay
Music & BGM : Limited scope for Songs in the film which aren’t that catchy but well shot. BGM is adequate.

Visuals : Fine
Direction : Average, isn’t upto the mark as per standards set by Yeleti’s previous flicks.
Plus : Fresh Locales (for a Telugu film) & Good last half-an-hour.

Overall Movie Rating : 3 / 5 ( Watchable )
Boxoffice Verdict :
Saahasam with poor publicity & out of form cast n crew may find it hard to sustain at the Boxoffice. Made on a 15Cr medium budget , this adventure drama film needs a lot of luck to get break-even.
