Pokiri has blown up the whole spectrum of commercial cinema once again
This is an outright commercial film with lot of action and one liners. Mahesh babu proved himself as future of telugu cinema with this film.The story is simple without many twists, which has helped sustain a good screenplay, followed by straight direction. Puri Jagan completely relied on the action genre, judiciously mixing it with commercial elements. His treatment of the dialogues too is neat and response-targeted.Suspense keeps the tempo of the film till the end.very grippy scripting by Puri Jagan.What was Shiva for Nagarjuna is going to be Pokiri for Mahesh. After a long gap I strongly feel telugu directors are coming on top compared to their kollywood counterparts who have dominated the younger minds for a decade almost. young directors like Nagesh Kokinoor,Shekar Kammula,Puri Jagan,VV Vinayak have brought fresh ideas to the screen irrespective of the so called mass or class elements.
over all a very entertaining film.Illenia is simply sexy.

Mahesh Babu's Best
Pokiri is like a saving grace for Mahesh Babu. If you want to see one film which will define an actor, Pokiri is the film for Mahesh. It's got action, humor and emotions that all count. His stunts, style and enigma sprinkle magic on the viewers. But, Puri Jagannath also gives us a good lineup of stars that include Prakash Raj, Nasser, Ashish Vidyarthi and Ileana.
In films like these, the female lead is supposed to be a stupid female who has nothing else to do other than romance the hero. But, Ileana's character has a story for herself and she plays her role suavely. The film also offers extensive story lines to several other characters. Prakash Raj explains how famous he is; Ashish Vidyarthi sees a connection between his wife and concubine; Nasser has a will of his own, and Mahesh incredibly fits in as the guy for the job.
With Mani Sharma's crackling soundtrack, Pokiri is a fine action flick which you can watch over and over. Dole Dole anybody?

Puri Jagannadh Mark movie
Mahesh's attitude, comedy timing and his dialog delivery is a treat to watch.. a mass romantic comedy gangster movie
Perfect blend
Pokiri has the perfect blend of everything an entertaining movie should have. Powerful dialogs, foot-tapping numbers, cheeky romance, great action sequences, fantastic characterization and a mix of a perfect dose of humor interlaced throughout. The director has also reserved some space of suspense with the plot! All these ingredients make Pokiri a must see for the entire family and not just fans of Mahesh. The cast matches the characters to the tee and every one contributes. You'll probably want to watch the movie more than once just to hear Mahesh's dialogs again. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Hats off to Mr. Puri Jagannath!
One great movie!
I think that is the best movie made so far in Tollywood.the actor and actress are very talented,the songs are excellent,the story is good and the fights are very realistic.It has won many awards.It has also rewrote 70 years of Telugu film history.It is basically about a cop Krishna Manohar (Mahesh Babu) undercover as a criminal(as Pandu),who pretends as he is a part of the mafia to catch the villains.The leader of the mafia is Ali Bhai (Prakash Raj).Meanwhile he falls in love with Shruti(Ileana D'Cruz) who is being tortured by a corrupt police officer (Ashish Vidyarthi) who happens to be a part of the mafia.If you haven't watched it yet,I would definitely recommend that you watch it as soon as possible.It is a really good movie
