Waltair Veerayya

The movie has all the commercial elements but in abnormal and uneven concentrations. I mean comedy,style , swag , entertainment quotient all are present but in very odd and unconvincing manner.

Director:- K. S. Raveendra aka Bobby presented in very odd manner . It could have been lot better.

Acting:-Chiranjeevi did decent performance, Shruti Hassan is Just a glamour coefficient.

An actor like Bobby simha and his potential is completely wasted. I was just irritated the way director handled Bobby simha.

Music:- DSP music is good . It is catchy . But bgm is loud . It could have been better.

So finally movie is good . But it could have been better.

While the Sankranthi festival plays a crucial role in the Telugu calanders, so does the movies released in this duration. As everyone's set free and each want themselves to get entertained so, these film enthusiasts prefer watching films in theatre. And the films released are mostly made for the masses so, one cant expect a film with good content. You either have to enjoy the film with the fans or prefer to watch it in the ott.

Now coming to this year's release, waltair veerayya starring, Chiranjeevi, Shruthi hassan, rajendra prasad, Bobby simha and others, is a highly recommend movie for the fans and can assure that it'll definitely be an action ride to them. Director K. S Ravindra aka Bobby directed this movie with his own style. Such fanboy movies doesn't only attract the Audience, it remains in their mind for a long time. Same happened with waltair veerayya. The high rise scenes of Chiranjeevi, his comedy timing will definitely gets registered. Also the attempt to bring the vintage chiru back, can be seen. Genuinely saying, the people from the late 80s will like this movie more Than the gen z. Because of bringing back the vintage chiru, as I earlier said.

Coming to the story

Veerayya a person who runs an ice factory, gets into trouble with ACP Vikram Sagar. What actually led to the confrontations, and to know who the antagonist is, needs to be watched.

Performance by the cast was good, moreover it being a mega star's movie leads to his domination. The wishes of many people to see the vintage chiru has been fulfilled by Bobby. The first half was filled with some gags and some unintended puns. While, some people may not find these sequences joyous. Shruthi Hassan did well and the role actually suited her. And entering into the interval sequence, to my utter surprise, it was an ecstatic experience. The mass fight scene and the fiery bgm by Rockstar DSP need to be appreciated. Kudos to them. Overall the first half ends with a good bang.

Second half picks the pace with mass Maharaja Ravi Teja entrance.

The song 'poonakalu loading' is a feast to the fans. To watch their heroes dancing, the audience may start skaking their legs. And nothing keeps the audience engaging, except the fights and confrontations between the protagonist and the antagonist.

The dialogues and the punch lines were very well written and aptly suits to the role of chiru.

The VFX was not at all tolerable and entirely dirturbs the mood. I felt it could've been improved. Another point to be added , is the weak climax, It felt as if I'm watching baaghi 3 .

To be very honest, there's nothing else to be pointed out, except this.

Coming to the conclusion

Waltair Veerayya is a perfect Sankranti film. Don't keep your expectations high, just watch it with the masses . You will enjoy the film for sure.

Director Bobby Brilliant work. Thanks for being a true fan and quenching thirst of millions of diehard mega fans! Mad ensure every character is justified. Awesome awesome way of showing Megastar Chiranjeevi Megastar at his vintage best. Raviteja at his versatile best. Bobby at his direction best. DSP music at his BGM best! Should appreciate Director #BobbyKolli garu for never failing the logic in the screenplay even for a moment. Tight screenplay. The way he made Megastar utter the trending memes/jokes is howlarious. Inka Megastar Araachakam Aarambham! Team's confidence justified WaltairVeerayya. Few words about my Boss, Megastar Chiranjeevi is truly back, he makes you laugh with his antics 80% of the movie and in one scene he makes you cry with his innocence.

Positives.

1. Chiru sir and Ravanna.

Chiru sir was great as Veerayya. It almost felt like I was vintage Chiru be honest. He was very lively, likable, and after a point, sympathetic and gets us to emotionally connect with his character. Along with Chiru sir, Ravanna was also great and got us to connect with him in the minimal time he had. The scenes between them weren't written well, but it was still engaging due to their performances. The only bad thing in their performances though is their slang. Veerayya's Vizag slang and Vikram's Telengana slang were unnecessary and the director shouldn't have added it into the movie.

2. DSP BGM.

Though the songs were forgettable, I have to go it to DSP anna. Even though some BGMs were mediocre. Without his BGM, some scenes wouldn't have been that memorable. Especially the pre-climax scene.

3. Interval Bang.

For people who haven't seen it, see the movie at least for that scene. It's the peak of the movie, and everything was great in that scene be it the direction, cinematography, especially DSP anna's BGM.

4. Basic Story.

The basic story of the character Veerayya was good albeit it's routine. It had the potential to become a classic commercial movie. It had space for good comedy, good action scenes, good emotional scenes, good scenes with Sruthi Hassan, etc. Etc., but unfortunately the reason with movie ends up being only decent and not great is only because of one person and that person is...

Negatives

1. Bobby.

Yes, Bobby himself. Note that I said Bobby and not story, screenplay, dialogues, direction. It's all because he was the one who did everything with everything to make a great movie and handled it like an amateur. Even though I liked the basic story, he could've done many things to make it less predictable and more entertaining. Even though he didn't write the screenplay by himself (he had help from Kona Venkat and K. Chakravathy Reddy), he had a hand in it and could've somehow convinced his aides and vice versa to make the screenplay way better. Seriously, there too many unneccessary points in the script of the movie which should've been removed such as some side characters like poor Vennela Kishore, Pradeep Rawat and Anish Kuruvilla and some unnecessary reactions and songs and replaced them with more scenes that try to get us to emotionally connect with the gang and Shruti Hassan. It would've made things more fun. Along with that, even though I liked how he introduced some more emotional depth and flaws to Veerayya in the second half, it was completely predictable and would've been better if he took care of it. Along with that, he should've written the pre-climax and climax scene of the movie way better. The only reason why the pre-climax is better than the climax is the BGM and the climax is too 80s-level melodramatic and the screenplay could've been way better in this parts. It was so mediocre that Neekemo and the scene before it comes out of nowhere and should've been edited out. Coming to the direction, he should've used many things in this movie way better. For example, DSP. The songs are mediocre and as a Chiru fan, he should've at least made DSP give a good album--especially since Chiru-DSP is a famous combo known for great albums like Shankar Dada MBBS, Shankar Dada Zindabad, and Andarivaadu--,but what we got was completely mediocre, except the title track which I loved. But nevertheless, along with DSP, he should've used his other technicians to make the movie look better from a CGI and cinematography POV, and along with that, he should've directed the movie how the scenes demanded. It would've made the movie an actual good movie.

Overall, I think that this movie had the potential to become a classic in Chiru sir's career, but was spoiled due to Bobby.

Used to watch and like Chiru's movies a lot, but this one predictably disappointed. It is definitely a Chiru's desperate attempt to come back to silver screen (God Father is far better than this, if you compare). With Sruthi hassan, Chiru is looking so pale acting hero with no-chemistry and silly forceful unnecessary scenes.

And movie story line is really silly and sometimes boring and funny dialogues (with reminding you of dialogues and scenes from Kodanda Rami reddy, Dasari narayana rao movies, very predictable sometime silly scenes and dialogues sometimes).

And Ravi Teja's dialogues in Telangana accent really makes worse. He should have practiced the accent better and more, but his forceful (sometimes mixed with his regular style) is funny and not appealing.

Another time-waste attempt like Bheemli Nayak.
