Raja Ravindra, Raghu Babu, Shakalaka Shankar, Chammak Chandra and others are excellent. The fact that the movie is receiving fab feedback from the audience proves that the audience are enjoying the performances delivered by the cast.

Analysis:

The film takes the form of a nail-biting comedy caper. Crime comedies are an under-explored genre. The Telugu film industry is endowed with a number of comedy artists. What better way to tell a comedy with a crime element than by casting them? 'Unstoppable', written and directed by Diamond Ratnababu, does this task with elan.

The film doesn't overdo the climax. Things are rounded off pretty decently. 'Unstoppable' might have needed tighter middle portions. Nevertheless, the occasional entry of characters played by familiar comedians heightens the experience.

Merits:

The storyline.
The presence of so many artists.
The clear-cut screenplay.

Demerits:

Some unnecessary scenes.
Some scenes are overdone.

Verdict: 'Unstoppable' entertains and engages the audience in turns.
