Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
one word that describes this movie is "ENTHRALLING"The specialist mass director Mr Rajamouli delivers it again.....the first half is too good.....and the scene just before interval is mind blowing good and believe me I have seen this movie innumerable times and the scene never fails to induce the goose-flesh till this date.....the dialogs are awesome....shriya too hot....prabhas is good and this movie delivered him all the accolades....second half is relatively dull compared to the first and looks a bit stretched but its OK.....special mention should be made regarding the little guy (shafi)who played younger brother of prabhas....he was too good and the rage that he expressed through his act was simply awesome....he deserved an award for it....all in all a must watch for all Telugu movie fans...
This is a movie that banks completely on the director's skills.A script that has its moments but slows down in the second half are compensated by the superb background score(one of the best you will ever hear)and very good performance by lead actor Prabhas who looks tailor made for the title role.Choreography,fight sequences and the sets are breathtaking and Rajamouli like in his all other previous movies uses the villain in an efficient way.Shriya is wasted - wonder why she agrees to do such mediocre stuff these days!Bhanupriya is a fantastic actress and lives up to the expectations.The chemistry between her and Prabhas is very good and keeps the movie going.The second half could have been much better but nevertheless its a movie you should watch.Far better than most of the recent flicks. PS:Look out for Venu Madhav's comic track.Its hilarious.
