Bobby seems to have picked up where he left his villainous role in animal movie.
These type of movies need a ruthless villain and Bobby delivers, your all familiar with Balakrishna style, larger than life character.
The movie is a good weekend entertainer, with a recycled storyline of good vs evil.
The director's of south have found a winning formula of cramming 2 stories into one movie, although highly entertaining and your getting more movie for your buck. Not every movie can pull this off and this is where daaku maharaj leaves you yearning for more.
This movie would have been a solid 10 but, storyline seems rather rushed.

This movie would have been a solid 10 but, storyline seems rather rushed.
The first half of the movie delivers while the second half is a bit dragged. The portrayal of balayya is new and the director added the style and flavour of lokesh kanagaraj movies.
Balayya came out of his comfort to take such risk of making a movie that could have ended a disaster if not for Bobby koli. The acting is nice and music is good.
This movie proves that balayya is never in his peak but he is his peak. The movie did not miss the commercial elements. But urvashi rautela's role was shortened and it was good that way, otherwise it would have spoiled the work. Though it may feel overdramatic sometimes it is perfect for the sankranti season to have mass movie like this.
A good movie if you can enjoy keeping the logics and all other things behind. It was better than most balayya's movies in the past ten years.
I don't understand why people are so obsessed with other movies this sankranti because people were ready to see all the things balayya use to do back then but does not want to watch him in a role where he has the scope to act good which he did.
The movie is a surprise to me. Don't listen to the negative reviews and watch it with a blank mind.
But the balayya in the first half is fire. Want more like this from balayya.
Go and enjoy the movie.

Sentence:
If you are capable of torturing yourself with your mental health, then congratulations, this movie is for you.
Okay, telling you from the storyline, the movie started with a fight scene, which is a trimmed part of the middle portion to introduce the Protagonist. Then, how the movie turned out really puzzled me.
Talking about the Cast, Balakrishna's acting is good (5/10 stars), but the Hindi dubbing and dialogue delivery for the particular protagonist didn't blend well. Ravi kishan's acting is superb, and I enjoyed it. Urvashi's character is a Police Inspector, but I don't know if I'm blind; I didn't see her in uniform, and the way she portrayed her character is not justified. Lord Bobby's acting is also better than any others, but his screen time is too short.

Routine south Indian movie, where hero fights to save a village or a family with some backstory and few elevation scenes.
Positives: 1. Balakrishna performance 2. Thaman background score 3. No cringe comedy between hero and other characters 4. No unnecessary between hero and heroine 5. All the elevations worked well because of Balayya's screen presence
Negatives: 1. No snakes and ladder game between hero and villain. Always hero wins as in all the south Indian movies 2. Few emotions didn't work well 3. Few scenes in the second half are not that engaging and felt bore 4. Multiple villains just to extend the storyline and have more fights 5. Few illogical scenes from direction point of view.

Urvashi Rautela is a flop actress and basically an item girl. They could have cast any nice South Indian heroine. She can neither act nor talk properly in interviews.
Movie is just average, nothing crazy good. Not even close to being a blockbuster. Script is okay, other actors have acted well but not earth shattering good. Dance moves are super cringe and you could get second hand embarrassment. Not suitable for kids. Just a plain movie but honestly it is a snooze fest. So yes think about it. Do you want to waste your lonely on an average film or would you rather binge watch Harry Potter at home? Most people would prefer the latter.
