Kannappa

Seems like the movie is dubbed using Google translater. Some scenes copied from bahubali, some from 2013 Mahabharat serial, poorly written dialogues. Bad costume choice for actress. Example of how too much budget can spoil a movie.

Such a big cast and none of them do justice. Akshay as Lord Shiva doesn't do justice. Worse is Kajal playing Maa Parvati. Unnecessary romantic angle and projected vulgarity. Some scenes are literally cringe. With this much budget they could have done better VFX, the two eyes showing on lingam could have been projected better.

Though VFX is not as bad as Adipurush 😀. At least forest is green.

A great cast, a poor screenplay and a disastrous storyline is what brings Kanappa together.

The future generation of Manchu family (Vishnu's kuds) are introduced in the first 10 minutes. Sharat kumar, Mohanlal, Brahmanandam could have done better roles.

The casting is a big minus. Especially Akshay Kumar for Shiva, Vishnu for Thinnada

The direction was oppressed by the senior actors esp Mohan babu, when his character wins some sense until Prabhas/Rudra comes to the screen. Acting is surely an understatement.

The movie flatters boredom right from the start as the script lacked conviction. It was more a natural tour of New Zealand.

Srikalahasti is a legendary tale, they should have focused more on that. But when amateur directors are welcomed, this is what we get best.

"KANNAPPA" (2025), a Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, attempts to portray the life of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva.

As someone unfamiliar with the legend of Kannappa, I found the film largely unsuccessful in bringing his story to life.

At 3 hours and 3 minutes, the movie is excessively long, but my issue isn't with its runtime-it's with the sluggish pacing, unnecessary vulgarity for a devotional film, forgettable dialogue, and underdeveloped characters.

While the story centers on Kannappa, it also tries to mimic the grandeur of Baahubali, with Kannappa and Nemali resembling Prabhas and Tamannaah's characters from that epic.

Even the villain feels like a recycled version of Baahubali's Kaalikey.

The star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal, Mukesh Rishi, and Prabhas, is impressive but underutilized. Most actors are sidelined or given lackluster roles.

The visual effects are also feel low quality and literally bad.

Prabhas shines in his scenes, but his entry comes only after two hours, by which point the film has already dragged. The first two hours feel bloated and could easily have been condensed into 40-50 minutes to maintain momentum.

Last 30 minutes are absolutely best but it could be way more better.

Ultimately, Kannappa fails as a family-friendly devotional or mythological film due to its inappropriate content and lackluster execution. I wouldn't recommend it for those seeking a meaningful cinematic experience.

Despite big names like Prabhas and several cameo appearances, the film fails to impress. The choreography lacked impact, and the story narration felt disjointed with no emotional depth or standout moments. Cameos seemed forced and underutilized, adding little to the plot. Even Prabhas's role was not well-developed, missing the powerful presence he's known for. Weak presentation, poor pacing, and inconsistent visuals further hurt the experience. Overall, it was a disappointing watch, earning just 4 out of 10-saved only by the excitement of the cameo characters. It's better for a call to manchu family can stop acting in the movies and start the production to make better career in the industry.

Such a horrible screenplay if anyone values 3 hours pf valuable time refea8n from the movie . Story telling is at the lowest no proper BGM, cheap graphics . Hero has built body eating too much of meat but not investiled time to sharpen his acting skills. Expressions are horrible . Only saviour is 15 mins of prabhas. Better to watch it on OTT moving fast forward button.

I need my 3 hours of vaouable time back wasted my life trustong this horrible movie makers not worth watching....

Location is out of sync to movie, the primary focus is lost in story telling by director. Ecpressionless cast except prabhas.

Dont waste time.
