Puri Jagannadh, who is well known for his strong screenplay and unique story concept, disappoints with his latest movie. There were ideas that the director wanted to explore however had a difficult time weaving them together. The dialogues were utter crap in some parts of the movie, leaving the audience wondering what happened to the director.
The film started off on a interesting note, perking the audience's interest. As the movie progressed, the audience got sucked into the routine love story with dialogues that pretty much made no sense between the hero and heroine. From there, forgetting how he started, the director decided last minute to suddenly include what happened in the beginning of the film and in less than 5 minutes decided to tie up the loose end.
Despite the screenplay flaws, there were some plus points. The cinematography was done very well and really showcased Europe beautifully. The songs were peppy and fun. The editing was done well, although the second half of the film was slightly draggy. The director explored a subject that some may consider "taboo" to showcase a more modern approach. This is a unique approach so hats off to the director for making a bold step.
In terms of characterization, Nithin, as Varun, was the shining star. Although some of his dialogues were nonsensical, Nithin really embodied his character wholeheartedly. His style and look really matched what the director was thinking. The second person who did justice to their role was Brahmanandam as Iskcon Ramana. The director really spent time exploring the "side story" to spread an important message, which arguably could have been the main plot.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said to the rest of the characters who were pretty much reduced to minor roles. Adah Sharma tried her best, but her character did not really have any scope. We have seen this type of character over and over again and the director should have changed her character to fit in with his line of thinking. Vikramjeet as the villain did a pretty good job, however the director decided not to really focus on developing his character. Ali as the second comedian was not needed.
In conclusion, the director did his best to explore a new avenue but failed to be consistent with his thought process.

Heart Attack is high on technical aspects. As said above, Anup Rubens music is a big asset for this film. All the songs are entertaining and make the film lively. Camera work is top notch and captures Spain beautifully. All the songs and fights have been canned stylishly. Dialogues are good and have the trademark Puri style punches. Nithin has been styled wonderfully, and looks handsome with his western looks. The entire first half runs on an interesting screenplay. Puri Jagan manages to showcase the ideologies of today's youth with a simple and interesting love story.On the whole, Heart Attack is one film which will probably boost Nithiin's career. An entertaining first half, and superb performances from Nithin and Adha Sharma will be loved by the youth.

One of the best movie in my whole life.
Emotion is carried in perfect direction.
Nagetive Point where the Protagonist convence himself should have been still more impact.

I've watched the movie after 4 years of its release. The movie is very nice. 'Selavanko' and 'Thuhi hai Thuhi' are very heart touching songs and I loved it. I've watched the hindi dubbed version of the movie as I don't know Telugu and I'm from Assam.
Adah and Nithiin both did very good job. Their acting was very good. Hayathi's(Adah) love for Varun(Nithiin) was very heart touching. I liked this part the most. The 2 songs which I have mentioned are very nice and their music is very heart touching. I loved it. Wonderful
