Sarrainodu

The English subtitling for this Tollywood effort is rough, and much of the humor doesn't fully translate, but director Boyapati Srinu and "Stylish Star" Allu Arjun (aka "Bunny") succeed in transcending the language barrier with their waaaay over-the-top action scenes, and some infectiously fun - hip-hop influenced - dance sequences. Music is by SS Thaman, with choreography by Bollywood's Bosco, and it impresses and/or inspires giggles in equal measure.

The first half of this fully ridiculous ride is the strongest by far, highlighted by a nasty fight scene on skates at a roller park, and ultimately, with a show stopping massacre at the ill-fated marriage ceremony that concludes Act 1. Sadly, topping this visual mayhem would be next to impossible, which leaves the 2nd Act as a bit of let down.

Love interest for our impossibly unstoppable fighting superhero is provided - during most of the 1st Act - by Catherine Tresa, and - in the 2nd - by the very alluring and talented Rakul Preet Singh, easily the best of all of the actors in this film (and a fella's best reason for sticking around past intermission).
