Veera Simha Reddy

The film has every right to be named as a MAN MADE DISASTER. Everything is awful in this movie i.e, story, cast, BGM, dialogues. Balayya's dual role Felt like puking, i mean common man we are in 2023. The Jai Balayya hype is way too much to take. BALA KRISHNA should swallow his pride and give up films else his movies may be a virtual way to hell. The only breather this film offers is Honey Rose stellar beauty steals hearts in an instant. I humbly urge the director to read good books and make good movies not such scrap. Balayya's Dialogues, dance steps are hard to endure. The famous Innova scene is a laugh Riot to be frank rated it 1 star cuz there is nothing less to rate. The director must not forget the fact that the plot must elevate the hero and not the sound effects or useless Dialogues.

I know what I am signing up for whenever I am watching a movie like Veera Simha Reddy. I am there to see the larger than life characterization, ear crunching background music effects and a lot of goosebump moments. About 10-12 years ago when I still had the patience, I used to watch many of such South Indian movies in theatres. Off late, I just wait for such movies to show up on OTT and casually watch them for such moments. With NBK's movies these moments are taken up to a different notch. 2021's release Akhanda surprised me pleasantly and it was very refreshing to see that the movie had a crisp screenplay. This and some of the ridiculous (yet unique) goosebump clips from the theatre which I watched on Twitter made me decide to go and watch this film in the theatres. Also maybe I had too much time that weekend.

Veer Simha Reddy starts off quite energetically like typical NBK movies which involve him playing the dual role. The introduction of the 'mass' and 'dark' NBK character roars on the screen with a superb background score (I hope SS Thamans releases that song soon). However this film lacks the setup for such a great character introduction. There is no suspense or any significant events leading to it. Even the flashback story for this character isn't strong enough to justify the suspense and action. NBK suits very well for his look as Veera Simha Reddy but however it cannot be said the same for him playing the role of his son again. May be it is time for him to explore playing the only senior part and then giving up the junior lead to someone else in such movies so that his main character's impact gets better even if it is for a lesser time. The lack of a decent screenplay for many of the strong characters including Bhanumathi (played brilliantly by Varu Sarathkumar) lets this film down. There are many actors and characters in the movie but they all end up becoming less significant. Duniya Vijay looks and also acts menacing as the baddie but his character doesn't carry enough threat because of how it's written. Shruthi Hassan looks gorgeous as usual and Honey Rose gets to show off her beauty in a song as well.

Veera Simha Reddy had a very good potential to be a better NBK blockbuster but it falls short and how.

The rating is 3 only because the age of the hero. In this movie balakrishna's mother looks younger then him. How even audience go to the theatre watch a movie. South Indian film industry should go away from this concept that a big star in their 40s-60s can play a role of college students. It looks so ridiculous. His heroine shruti hassan looks like age of his grand-daughter. Music is terrible too. Cheaply dubbed songs are anyway bad to hear. I mean honestly don't this guys feel ashamed when they go out and shooting abroad? The fight sequences are very slow and un-realistic (i can't complaint as i see south Indian dubbed movies for this reason only). The punches and kicks of hero are very slow and bad. It clearly indicates his 70 years age. Varalakshmi and Honey were decent, Duniya Vijay was let down by poorly written character, Shruti's forgettable.

Balakrishna, as expected, dances, throws punches, mouths dialogues, acts, but still he can't save the audience from the mediocrity at disposal. Varalakshmi and Honey were decent, Duniya Vijay was let down by poorly written character, Shruti's forgettable.

Technically, the movie looks basic, in every aspect, cinematography, editing, production values, fights lack any conviction, only Thaman stands out with his riveting BGM. Dialogues pack a punch here and there.

Direction from Gopichand Malineni is the biggest disappointment, with a successful template at hand, his execution was as flat as earth. Thumbs down 👎

This film made for balayya heroism and for fans excitement that's all ,

I went for duniya vijay appearance , and it was pretty decent or little disappointed,

I got gem of actress , varalakshmi sarathkumar, man what makes me interesting in this film is just her backstory and appearance ,

What was shocking appearance was andrews (kgf) , is there in this movie , but apparenace was shocking , but not well developed .

And Ravishankar has played is normal role .

And all others are ok

But what makes me think is , in story wise the directors have taken very causally but runs well , and hood directors effort and everything, but not even stays a week in theater. Anyway this is reality .
