Latest Telugu Movie Reviews

To start with Mahesh is a treat to watch in the movie. It’s a good family entertainer. Vamsi Paidipalli tried his best to make it a commercial flick while connecting the audience with a social message which has been doing a lot of rounds in the recent movies - Farmer’s suicides. Mahesh played safe in choosing the script since his other two blockbusters almost had the same tone and plot which got him to box office success. The cinematography was good, other than a few unnecessary shots, the movie has been a treat to the eyes. Talking about the three shades of Mahesh, as CEO of ORIGIN his character has been little exaggerated, as Rishi in the college was good and the Rishi in Ramavaram is a usual one with nothing new to offer. The whole M. Tech college episode gave me the feel of 3 idiots, except for one thing where Pooja Hedge replaced Madhavan in the role (just a thought). After the first twist in the plot where he finds out about Ravi, there is nothing thrilling to grab your attention. Everything from there seemed quite predictable and lengthy. The whole village scenarios seemed like a slightly modified version of Shahrukh Khans’ starrer Swades. Though the climax was quite obvious, it has been dragged too far which has become a negative point for the film. Overall it’s a 3-hour long movie, which could have been easily cut down around 2 hours which would have made the movie crispier.
Overall, it’s a good movie for a one time watch, but I seriously hope Mahesh selects a different script next time. For me, Sreemanthudu, Bharath Anu Nenu, and Maharshi are all of the same series. less

This movie is surely the best film of the year! With it’s larger than life sets, crisp dialogues and breathtaking visuals,this film is a definite blockbuster and is way better than it’s prequel! Prabhas is the heart of the film. He has added , just the right amount of sex appeal combined with the right amount of machoism to the film. Anushka Shetty’s character is a pleasant surprise as she isn’t the quintessential heroine. She fights, she trains and she is full of courage. The kingdom of Mahishmati has been presented beautifully and with a lot of grandeur and glory. The VFX used in the film is unbelievably amazing! All in all the film is a must watch and will definitely blow your mind! less

On the whole, Pantham is a passable social drama with showcases a decent message. Even though the story is outdated, director Chakri has made sure that there is some fun in the first half and climax is satisfactory. The film has a chance to do well in the B and C centers but the multiplex audience will find things quite routine, hence making this film just an average watch this weekend.
Vikranth(Gopichand)plans a series of robberies on noted politicians. After a major robbery at his house, home minister, Nayak(Sampath) orders for an inquiry. To his shock, he comes to know that the man behind these robberies is Vikranth and why he has done all this. Who is this Vikranth? What is his backstory? Why did he target the politicians? To know all this, you have to watch the film on the silver screen. less

With the similar blastic and speedy style shown by the tollywood films, the film works well as an idea, and leaves you with enough questions and thoughts to reflect upon your own life, but as a cinematic experience, it leaves a lot to be desired.

With being entertaining , it is educative also. Trivikram doesn't disappoint although he could have done away with some fluff! You can trust Trivikram Srinivas to hit all the right notes, especially when it comes to exploring familial relationships.

The film narrates the story of an youngster, who vows to live by the values taught by his father. However, his life turns topsy-turvy when his father passes away in a freak accident.If you are a responsible son, about the only thing you care about, is your father's legacy, his goodwill. Viraj (Allu Arjun) was born and brought up as a pampered son of a millionaire. Yet, at the very beginning of his movie he is faced with a grave choice - Repay 300 crores worth of debt that his father has left him in or declare insolvency, enjoy life and let his father's name go to the docks. He picks the first option, because he is a man of values, values that have been handed down to him by his father.He was never ready to give up on that values and this made him to make certain unexpected choices.

A Trivikram movie will never be bereft of some moral preaching, some educative message. He continues this trend by showing how much a true son cares about his father's name, respects it, fights for it. In doing so, he also weaves an interesting script where we are shown how our friends change with time and tide. Viraj fights on, proving first to his could-have-been father in law (Rao Ramesh), then could be father-in-law and dad's friend (Rajendra Prasad ) and to everyone else, how great his dad's values are. However, he faces the biggest problem when Devaraj (Upendra), a grey-shades village don who occupies the land his father had sold to a friend. Viraj wants that people should remember his father in a good way. In doing so, he has to find a way to get married to his lady love Sameera (Samantha) and avoid marrying the don's sister (Nithya Menen). 

S/O Sathyamurthy, starts out brilliantly. The dialogues, which are one of the greatest strengths in a Trivikram movie do not disappoint. Amidst the preachiness, there is some good wit brought out by Ali in the first half and Brahmanandam in the second half. Some added charm is brought by Sneha who plays Devaraj's wife. The movie is an ode not just to dads but also to feminism. While most Telugu movies are known for their chauvinism, this one has the 'respect for women' dialogues from start to finish, shown even in the way Devaraj loves his wife and pampers her by hiding his real murderous form from her. 

All in all, it is a watchable movie that will not disappoint. with humour being one of its strong suits, laced with philosophy. Plenty of examples from Mahabharata and Ramayana have been taken. One wishes though that Trivikram paid a little more attention to the finer details, whether it is the flawed character development or the sudden enlightenment that happens to some of the characters. Barring a few scenes, brilliant actors like Kishore, Sampath Raj and Nithya Menen have all been thoroughly wasted. Samantha is diabetic (please note the hero's choice leaning towards true feminism yet again) who provides some comic relief but besides that, she doesn't have much to do. A special note for the cutest child artist seen in recent times, Viraj's brother's daughter. Allu Arjun's styling is spot-on while Trivikram decided to take liberty against realistic depiction of fights. It is well-intensified efforts that could have been done with a little more finesse and appropriateness.
At a thematic level, the film sounds near perfect and it almost seems like Trivikram wants us to believe that there is still plenty of hope left in this world. That not everyone is cunning and cruel, and more importantly, your actions will have a long lasting impression on people around you. less

Director Anil Ravipudi took a flat and routine story with bigger elevations scenes and positive fight sequences which will give this movie a positive thing to watch for. Logics missing here and there where Blind guy goes with higher massive fights totally. But comedy and action scenes definitely worked up. Raja The Great will be for mass audience and for class people there needed some script work from Anil Ravipudi. There is scope for this movie to get connected at the box office as there is ultra mass stuff in it for sure. less

Coming to the director Sudheer Varma, his strength has always been a stylish narration and with this film too, he has made a simple subject look quite intense. The way he goes about extracting performance from Nikhil and presents the film is a serious note is very good. Credit should go to him for not shying away from the theme by adding unnecessary commercial elements. However, he hurries up the film during the second half and takes some cinematic liberties.less

The story is all about Pawan Kalyan who solves the people by conflicts and fight.He has his brothers who fall in love with girls. They make Pawan Kalyan also fall in love with a girl Called Avanti. The girls father hates people who keeps fights. Avanti's father is a judge . Some local goons try to kill him. So finally Pawan becomes a saviour of the family.. less

The second half of the film is where the actual drama begins. The entry of Sarath Kumar and how he takes things in his hands with a decent kidnap drama looks good. The film moves on a crisp note from there and the reason for which Sarath Kumar does all the kidnappings is also shown convincingly.less

Though a debutant, Aashish Raj doesn’t look like one and he carries off his character with effortless finesse. Rukshar Mir, who plays his lady love, however, falls short in putting across the right emotions and her expressions often appear deadpan and cold.less

"Dwaraka" rides on the popularity of Vijay Deverakonda and he certainly lives up to the expectations. He shines in his role as the small time thief turned fake Swami turned social do-gooder while playing a loverboy. He stands out during the comic scenes and is supported by the rest of the cast. less

Gunturodu follows the usual masala movie formula and thus gets distracted from telling the story it wanted to say. If you can deal with that then give the film a shot less
