Performances:
Karthikeya lives up the expectations as a lover boy and as an angry youngster in the film. He performed to the core as Guna and is one of the major highlights of the film. Anagha has a crucial role and she lived up to the expectations as Geetha. She looks matured and performed well. Naresh shines in a small role as a father. Aditya Menon is a treat to watch and he gets full marks for his performance in Guna 369.
Guna 369 has been inspired by a real story. The screenplay and dialogues look decent and Guna 369 is tipped with an interesting message. The music and cinematography work looked decent and the production values have been grand enough. Arjun Jandhyala has been partly successful as a director. The editing looks decent and so are the technical aspects.
Verdict:
Guna 369 is a predictable mass entertainer which falls short of the expectations. Karthikeya and the other lead actors excelled in their roles.
