Highlights:
Vinay,the chocolate faced guy of Neevalle Neevalle appears in a different getup,with a rough beard in this movie.His performance is good and natural.But the dubbing didn't suits him well and some times it gives us a feeling as if we are watching a dubbing film.
The movie is picturised mostly in picturisque hilly areas with fog & rain and the Cinematography by Sekhar V. Joseph is simply superb.
Producer MS Raju debuted as director with this film.He excelled in parts and on the whole he fails to replicate the original feel of Mungaru male.
Music by Kamalakar is good.
Meera Chopra is just ok.
Instead of making it like an epic love story of more than 3hours,the director have chosen to finish it up within 2.5 hours.
Last but not the least, the movie has a message for last minute lovers.

Sidelights:
Vaana is the remake of Kannada industry hit Mungaru male.Except climax,the story is nothing new to Telugu audience.
The movie is very slow.First half is ok but the second half is a bit boring.
Uncles batch(Suman,Paruchuri Venkateswara rao,Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam) generates few laughs but overall there isn't much entertainment.

Public Talk:Just an Okay flick.Watchable if tragic love stories are okay with you.
Industry Talk:Hardly it will be an average grosser.Let's wait and see if it can spell magic at the box office just like the original.
