Blade Babji (Allari Naresh) is a pickpocket who takes up the mission of earning 4 crores to rescue the slum dwellers in his area from a builder. He and his gang go to Vizag and rob a bank. And they hide the loot in a building under construction. They were forced to go away for a month and when they return they find a police control room at the spot where they hidden their loot. In order to retrieve the loot, Blade Babji takes the position of newly joined Krishna Manohar (spoof of Pokiri) by kidnapping him. The rest of the story is all about the comedy of errors that followed.
It is a typical character for Allari Naresh and he entertains. Actress Sayali Bhagat is adequate. Dharmavarapu Subramanyam is good. This film has all comedians like Brahmananda, Krishna Bhagawan, Melkote, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Srinivas Reddy and Venu Madhav. They all have interesting roles in the film.
Story - screenplay - direction: Basic storyline of the film is inspired by a Hollywood film called Blue Streak (1999). A few scenes from this film are also borrowed. This film runs on comedy of errors and the director could come up with a decent screenplay. Direction is adequate. The director could able to generate continuous laughs. The spoofs of Pokiri and Tammudu are good. 
Analysis: Inspired by Blue Streak (1999), the director Devi Prasad could able to generate entertainment with decent screenplay and good comedy timing. Blade Babji sports entertainment value and mass orientation. This film would do really well in B and C centers and may fare decently in A centers. You may watch ‘Blade Babji’ for some comic relief.

It's an old style of story with stereotype characters and targeted at the B, C centers. The humor that's generated here fits the bill for targeted audiences. Let us look into the details.
Story
A team of four con artistes (Naresh, Ruthika, Khayyum, Harshavardhan) keep duping people and with the money earned they keep distributing it to the residents of the slum they are living in. however, the owner (Jeeva) of the land wants to give it for a real estate venture so now these petty thieves have to come up with a plan of paying him that land's worth. So they end up looting a bank and storing it at a constructed site. They are away for sometime and when they get back the building is actually the police headquarters. Now Babji (Naresh) decides to become a cop and kidnaps a new cop and takes his place. He starts searching for the loot and he also wins the impression of the commissioner. He also manages to win the heart of Archana (Sayali), the commissioner's daughter but then his search continues. Whether he is successful or not forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Naresh was quite sober and did his role without much qualms, moreover he has given a good space to other artistes unlike his earlier movies. Sayali was elegant and decent with good expressions. She has a good charm in her and has shown good potential.
Ruthika is ravishing and had a raunchy sex appeal. Venu was vibrant while Harshavardhan was not utilized completely.
Brahmanandam is in his usual self while Krishna Bhagawan did his bit with ease, Jayaprakash Reddy showed enough humor in his dialogues.
Hema was hot and Dharmavarapu suited best for his role. The music by Koti was good and it was the background scores of Pawan Kalyan's songs and Chiranjeevi's song that was quite entertaining. The item number of Kausha got good response.
The director has done a tremendous job in providing full length entertainment and the twists he provides look quite reasonable. There is a wit in the script and the camerawork has captured the scenes correctly.
Analysis
The film takes a leaf from the Hollywood hit 'Blue Streak' and later on the director was careful to use his creativity and get it to a native taste. The film would have been more hilarious if the second half had some crisp editing but overall, the pace of the movie kept the energy on. The good thing about the film was though there were several artistes, each of them had their space that really looked clean and there was no haphazard conclusion to anyone in the film. Commercially, the film will get its money at the B and C centers and there is enough content for the family audience to enjoy. This is a light hearted film and can be enjoyed without any hassles, the trick is to keep common sense or logic aside and just sit back and enjoy.

What follows is a roller coaster ride of turns and twists which ends up with many people getting involved.
Presentation:
The director has come out with a good plot and scored the maximum in the narration. Even the presentation was simple, the real credit goes to the dialogues and the script while the screenplay was equally good. Music did its bit and the background score was suiting the situation in a big way. Camerawork was professional and the foreign locations were captured well. Editing was crisp and the other departments were also upto the mark. Naresh was his regular self and looked no different, however this time equal space was given to the other characters. Sayali was sexy, slender and had that delicate elegance. She is good, Ruthika was ravishing and few angles really show her oomph and sex appeal. Venu was good, Harshavardhan was wasted, Khayyum was active. Brahmanandam was regular, Krishna Bhagawan was his casual self, Jayaprakash Reddy did his bit with élan, Jeeva was there for a brief time. The others were alright.
Conclusion:
The film has taken the central plot from the
Bharatstudent Verdict: Good and hearty entertainer, can be watched once for sure!!!
