Plot:The film is about an encounter specialist who gets the tributes from higher authorities for his sincere service. His braveness causes many problems to anti social elements. In this process he loses his wife and how he takes his revenge on the enemies is the crux of the story.

Overall synopsis:

Dayanand (Jagapathi Babu), a sincere encounter specialist gets support from the public and as well as from higher authorities in police department. His bravery act stands as threat for mafia people. The city Police Commissioner (Kota Srinivasa Rao) encourages him a lot. His wife (Sindhu Menon) also co-operates him very well.

When the city Police Commissioner (Kota) retires and a new Police Commissioner takes the charge in his place, he discourages Dayanand. Instead of Dayanand the new Police Commissioner encourages Salim Ali Mushtaq (Kota Prasad) an assistant to Dayanand and another encounter specialist, who has passion for publicity from the media and is intent on increasing the number of encounters.
In the process of his encounters, Dayanand loses his wife. How Dayanand takes the law into his hands and eliminates the mafia terror in his own style.

Performances:

Jagapathi Babu has acted very well as encounter specialist. His physical appearance and body language have perfectly suited for this character. Sindhu Menon does very well as a Tamil wife. Subba Raju and Shiva Prasad have appeared in cameo roles and they act well.

Kota Prasad (son of Kota Srinivasa Rao) did a good role in this movie and he is suited for that. Some comedy was played by Narsing Yadav and Mukul Dev in a few scenes. It’s a good effort by JD Chekravarthy. Satirical dialogues on Chiranjeevi, YSR and Balakrishna's political campaigns are good. Telephonic conversation between servant maid and Dubai don is interesting.

Technical Departments:

This film is a remake of Hindi film 'Ab Tak Chappan'. JD Chakravathy has adopted the film in an interesting manner. There are no songs and separate comedy track in the film. Comedy is mixed in the narration with little humor. Editing by Bhanodaya is okay and cinematography of Bharani K Dharan is good. The back ground music by Amar Mohale is good.
Jagapathi Babu has played the same role as played by Nana Patekar in the Hindi film. But Jagapathi Babu has some softness in his body language and hence the charisma is lesser when compared to Nana Patekar. Overall, it's a good effort by JD Chakravarthy and Jagapati Babu. Producer Kiran Kumar should be appreciated to make a film like ‘Siddham’.

Over All:

It’s a film for mass audiences as well as class audiences and it can be watched once for a change.
