Waltair Veerayya

Waltair Veerayya review:

The latest Chiranjeevi masala entertainer brought back fond memories of his two successful Hindi ventures - Pratibandh (1990) and Aaj Ka Goonda Raaj (1992). The claps and whistles in the single screen I visited were still intact for the ageless megastar who shines in the titular role of a dubious fisherman with a tragic past..

Indeed, at sixty seven years, Chiru still looks convincing beating his brawny opponents to pulp as well as romancing a girl half his age (Shruti Haasan). The megastar pulls it off and how!!

Admittedly, the plot and execution is rooted in the '90s and might feel largely over the top for 2023. But its still fun to watch and most importantly, packs in all the ingredients you crave for in a commercial movie. There is action, there is emotion, there is bromance, there is a love angle and there is an item song. Yup, Urvashi Rautela pops up to shake a hip with megastar Chiru while Shruti Haasan gets some high octane action sequences apart from the routine song and dance.

The icing on the cake comes immediately post interval when the title reads Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and the star makes a spectacular entry carrying a small goat. By the way, that goat shows more emotions than what our very own Arjun Kapoor displayed in his latest flop called Kuttey!!

Ravi and Chiru's scenes are the movie's highlight and the penultimate one will give goosebumps to their fans. Special mention of the action scene just before the interval with the megastar atop an elephant. That was truly a 'taalimaar' moment!!

All in all, Waltair Veerayya is worth your ticket price. Provided you have an appetite for the masala entertainers of yore. Mega and Mass fans obviously cannot miss it!!

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.

This one got back vintage chiru on track. In the first half the intro scene and interval scene was highlight. Most of comedy and scenes worker out in first half. The second half was quite lag. Two fight sequences,some emotional drama and bonding between Raviteja sir and Chiru garu worked pretty well and these things save us from second half of the movie. Songs and its placement was horrible in second half and throughout the movie. Comedy scenes in second half were dull only a few worked. Cinemtography and Production values of the movie is good. At some parts the customer designing is not suitable to the protagonist.

Final Verdit: An Average.

Hats off to chiranjevi for giving major screen space to Ravi Teja who's entry in 2nd half lifts the whole film undoubtedly a sankranti winner , also one can witness vintage chiru's 90's swag simple yet charming dance moves & style also his performance in 2nd half was top notch in emotional quotient too... Mass Maharaj's entry is defined the movie with success badge and his performance was simply superb without whom this achievement was impossible..... Despite DSP's repeated tunes couple of foot tapping numbers is a feast for every mega star fans.... The poor VFX is a major drawback of the film to the given budget... Overall it's just a timepass flick to passout with nothing new to offer and director just intended to play a safe game.

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.
