1: Nenokkadine (2014)

Touches You

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Bestest and favorite movie of Mahesh...Acting , bgm, action was brilliant....Overall an epic masterpiece of TFI

Better than the usual Telugu masala action flicks. The style is somewhat trying to be like Hollywood thrillers but hasn't quite let go of the Telugu masala film aesthetics. The technical side s impressive but falls down when they settle for usual commercial tropes and making any of it useless. The plot is unnecessarily convoluted but for a commercial Telugu action film, this is quite an experiment and commendable that it got an actual plot unlike many of those films. As much as I love the eye-candy of the film Kriti Sanon, her scenes were just dragging the rest of the film which is already overlong.

Why do some people call this movie a Hollywood level. I am sure they lack knowledge about Indian Cinema. It's time they realize what Indian Cinema is capable of.1. Nenokkadine was awesome movie. Creative idea by Sukumar and awesome performance by Mahesh and Kriti and the rest of the team.It's a Telugu movie after-all and the use of English language should be minimized. Yeh I do realize it's shot abroad too. The songs tile Who Are You and You're My Love is not tempting. The first song of the movie Who Are You lyrics does not sound so nice but the music is good. Could have done better lyrics. Indian Cinema contributes a lot in sustaining culture and living styles. It was very energetic and appealing performance by Mahesh on stage.When on stage Mahesh notices the pony tail guy, he jumps off and follows him. At that point maybe the pony tail guys face should not have been revealed. Seeing sudden change in the Rockstar's (Mahesh) mood and jumping off the stage without knowing what went wrong with him would be more interesting. More suspense, more interesting. It's just a maybe from my side. Already many people find the story line complicated. They need to pay more attention while watching.Actually, the screen play/story-line of the movie is not complicated but is CAPTIVATING. Really good work by Sukumar.Kriti, a new face in the Industry, did perform well. She looks beautiful with that skin glow and especially height.I myself enjoyed this movie and watched several times. Yes we have seen Mahesh in such action movies before such as Pokiri. Whether the movie setup is interior village style or town/city, Mahesh in serious action just hits the records hard.It was a Great movie. Shukriya to the whole team and really wish to see Mahesh in such movies soon.

He is a rock star and a troubled one at that. Amidst performing to a roaring audience, he senses the presence of one of his parents' killers gunning for his life, chases him down, finishes him off and surrenders to the police. The world around him is stunned to discover the hitherto unknown facet of the rock star. Meanwhile, a video footage shot by a television reporter reveals the truth — the rock star was fighting an imaginary opponent. It appears that he suffers from a psychological condition termed Interpretation Disorder, which blurs his capability of differentiating reality and imagination.Director Sukumar's 1 is not a film one can watch passively. Soon after the fantastically picturesque opening song 'Who are you?', he draws you into the thriller mode only to tell you it's not going to be a linear story. How often do we get to watch a Telugu film where the audience, along with the protagonist and supporting characters, is also required to think and distinguish between events unfolding in real and imaginary spaces? The television reporter Sameera (debutante Kriti Sanon) sniffs a TRP-friendly story and trails Gautam (a leaner, fitter Mahesh Babu) as he retreats to a luxury cocoon in Goa.Rathnavelu's roving camera rarely comes to a halt, just like its protagonist, searching for answers across surreal, low-lit streets, exotic beaches, and the cold, Grey streets of London. Gautam, meanwhile, is at the risk of injuring himself and anyone around him as his mind refuses to stop playing tricks on him.Habitual to watching films that begin with a great premise only to fall into the commercial trap of force-fit comic situations, it comes as a relief when Sukumar laces the psychological thriller with subtle wit that never takes the focus away from the plot. A few eye- popping sequences raise the bar for action in Telugu cinema, with well-choreographed stunts helped by good cinematography, editing, visual effects and background score. But once the dots begin to connect and a few plot points become easier to guess, the drama tends to drag and one wonders if the conflict between what's real and imaginary has been stretched too far. With a run time of a little less than three hours, the film can test a viewer's patience.This isn't your regular mas ala cinema and may not be everyone's cup of tea. If you're willing to invest some patience and soak in the mood of a film that attempts to appeal to an audience that's used to watching global cinema, 1 will not disappoint. In this visually stunning film, Mahesh Babu delivers his career-best performance. His son Gautam makes a debut through a cameo and appears at ease in front of the camera. As a surprise there's Devi Sri Prasad's background score that's so different from his regular fare. He's been given the chance to push the envelope and boy, he does it so well.
