I don't understand how this film can be rated 5.something just like for instance the other telugu masala film Naayak which was really bad.
I enjoyed Ramayya Vasthavayya and I'm not even fond of this type of entertainer. I liked the story - nothing new but well developed, some really nice scenes. There were some funny moments without the annoying unsubtle type of humour you often have in these movies. Acting was good - good performances by Samantha and Shruti Hasaan and a really good one by NTR. Musical numbers were *very* good - great music, I actually really enjoy all the songs that are varied and highly catchy, and the choreographies of course show all the talent NTR has for dancing.
It's entertaining without being dumb. A good masala film.
