How he handles the villain and how he wins his love is the remaining story of the film.


Performances
Pawan Kalyan is excellent and his comedy is very good. Fights are choreographed well and his dance good. All the songs are picturised good and few of them are excellent. All of the heroines have not much role in this film. Trivikram Srenivas failed to deliver what he would have liked. There are few loop holes in the script. Music by Devi sri Prasad is first grade. Comedy is excellent.

Overall Jalsa is a good movie with beautiful picturization, very good songs and fights, and good comedy except the story. Nonetheless, it is a visual feast for Mega Fans and worth watching movie for general audiences.
