After watching the films and hearing the dialogues in movies like 'Munna,' 'Okkadunnadu,' 'Bhadra' and recent 'Brindavanam,' one can easily sense an intelligent writer present in technically guraduated Koratala Siva. Under this influence, announcement of 'Varadhi' which is later changed as 'Mirchi' with Prabhas and Anushka in leads raised a definite high expectation. More than the regular commercial format which is tested by innumerous directors, audience and critics anticipated something new like Trivikram Srinivas kind of intelligent cinema from Siva. Finally, 'Mirchi' released yesterday was a disappointment for such people.
This movie is made with an old story element which each of our mass star heroes have tried in one point of their careers. Though there is no innovative tag attached, Siva used the image of Prabhas to some extent in positive direction which is a matter of relief at least for a section of Fans else 'Mirchi' could have sent Siva back to pavilion.
