Sri Murali in Madhagaja (2021)

User reviews

Madhagaja

26 reviews
4/10

Average

I m huge fan off Sri Murali and had high expectations on this movie but I m really disappointed,same old story,this is combination of Vajrakaya (mother sentiment)+mufti(hero doesn't reveal his identity)=Madhagaja.

Everyone acted too good but direction utter fail,director wasted all characters and there is no character development at all except mother character,hero father(jagapati babu)just scream everytime whenever he struck in critical condition😂,they only gave more scope to fight scene, unnecessary songs and cinematography.u can't remember any character or song after cameout of theater.

My 4 star only for mother character,Murali and cinematography.

A one time watchable flick

With nothing new to offer it's time to think of a change for Srimurli,playing safe is not always a best choice in current scenario i cinema industry...Overall watch if need to kill ur time.

Same old trend

Story Flop Dialogues Flop Comedy Flop All seams like they wanted dialogues to fill the story instead of story with dialogues, slow motion cinematography is trending but slow motions movies results in flop hope kannada industry will reduce the amount of slow motion in movies and increase content in story, not dialogues with hype, dialogues that make story, make movies not adds for Heros and villian.

No offense on any individual.

Waste movie

Waste movie.

There nothing is there in this movie.

Poor story and direction.

What is need of speaking in Hindi , even after coming to Karnataka?

Don't know why Sri murali accept these kind of stories🤷‍♂️.

Very exotic

A production of Sandalwood, the Indian film industry, based in Bangalore, whose films are made in Kannada The form of this Sandalwoodian production can be surprising: when the hero speaks, the soundtrack consists only of his deep voice (there is no real sound recording), with a tablecloth in the background, completely unreal. And it's the same for the villains.

Then, it is interesting to see this story of conflict of territory, of revenge, in a universe of beliefs and superstition, but also of the use of Youtube for a recipe, and of the existence of tablets and cell phones. Which takes place in the countryside in villages, with as main weapon the serp, which is not only used to cut crops, but also to cut throats and other body parts. The fights are visually pleasing, with the characters twirling in slow motion. Effective.

The systematic use of slow motion, which produces beautiful plastic results, but which lengthens the duration of the film.

In this community, the women have little to say and are obviously supposed to cook, but the mother and child, or the lover, are treated with hypertrophy.

Curiosity: there is no credited scriptwriter for this simple and uncomplicated story.

As usual, the dialogues are heavy, insistent, redundant and recapitulative.

The film has in the background an intrigue related to the business around the cremation of bodies, but also the possession of land.

It is not very clear why the bad guy is bad. And vice versa. Nevertheless they are recognizable by the fact that they have bad hair, with long hair, and with the face not symmetrical.

Hard to watch this cocktail movie.

The movie is hard to watch, same old storyline same old unwanted action sequences and a bit of over acting. Unnecessary loud screaming, there's no link between the scenes. Director has tried to create another Ugramm but failed terribly. Please leave Ugramm alone!

Big Budget Low Quality Story

Same old Conflict between Two Villages , Hero Who is a son Of Head of village brought up somewhere came suddenly to village for solving Issue between Those villages. Same old Crap Story , Crap Direction.

Only director should get Goosebumps for this crap.

Never watch this movie for sake of Hero

Same old boring punch dialogues for all the characters, the same rivalry between the villages is shown in the movie. Action scenes are badly choreographed, untimed songs.

Few good things are visuals, background score, chikkana's comedy scenes, SriMuruli, and Ashika

These directors should not be allowed to direct movies in future, they are spoiling the quality of Kannada movies.

Hope SriMuruli won't accept these kind of movies in future.

Worst story line and editing

Very poorly executed script, each plot is not stitched together it's not connected well at all. They were trying to create the magic from KJF and UGRAAM, but failed to create an impact.

Direction, editing and fight scene is below sub par.

Bad Movie, Murali should rethink

Watched this movie on prime video. Giving 2 stars just for the effort they put in to making. Nothing is good in the movie. Worst story, Bad direction, Horrible dialogues. Couldn't believe director had directed Ayogya before. Murali should come out of Ugramm hangover and try to make different kind of movies. Felt bad for the producer who has spent so much money on this crap.

Story or screenplay doesn't even hold your attention for 2 minutes. Jagapathi babu just screams in all scenes. Wasted such a big actor and made him look like a dummy actor. Dialogues are silly and cringy. After Ugramm, Murali has given only one watchable movie i.e mufti. I think he should really think before accepting new films.

This movie should have 0 value

Again bringing communal angle to a movie.

Worst movie ever no story unrealistic fights.

Bringing old fights with swords and all.

Kid becoming underworld don.

According to this director he feels a movie is success if 1.communal angle 2.one love story 3.some songs

The movie has 0 story at all.

Not a new concept. Worth watch

I watched the movie even after seeing the imdb rating. Somewhere I felt the rating would be biased. There are movies that are so boring, but still have good imdb ratings. Writing this for everyone who feel the same after watching this movie!

Coming to the movie review, I expected something better storyline. Though it's not a new concept, I didn't feel bored. The coordination of the dancing team was not appreciable. The revealing of relation between the father and son seemed too early. Screenplay and movie making is really good. First 20 mins I thoroughly enjoyed. And yes. I completed the movie and enjoyed watching the "behind the scene" video at the last.

The movie definitely don't deserve 1 star rating. And now I know whether to trust the **** rating before watching the movie or not!

Third class movie

time for murali to move on from ugram

Ugram was a master piece no doubt, but apparantly not every movie can be the same. Rathaavara, madhagaja all lack the same thing a SOUL! Cinematography is a very poor immitation of ugram. Sri Murali has a lot of talent in him, given a proper role and dedicated director he can create magic like no other. Take mufti for example, he did justice to the role. In this movie all i see is a very old story line and very cliche ending.

Chikkanna, Ashika and others both played almost no role, as if they were present for the sake of attracting their fan bases.

The 2 stars are for the effort and contribution of the team.

Very disappointed :( same old story

Highly disappointed with the story of the movie. Why would they still make a movie which is so similar to the old movies. There was not a single scene which was good. Why would directors make movie still like this ? Don't they know that it's an old concept and ppl would not like to watch it ?

Why do we not have a 0 star option ?

I created an account, solved captcha , entered OTPs just to leave a review for other to save 2hrs(felt like 10hrs) of their lives.

Skip watching this if you like Ugramm as you feel this is a disgrace to that movie.

Stop Making Such Movies!

This movies was probably one of the worst ones I've watch in a long time. The story is old, the characters all seem like a rip off from 20 different Telugu movies that are far from reality. The female lead could be completely eliminated and will not make a difference to the movie or it's backbone-less story.

If any cast/crew can go to bed knowing they made a movie as such, they must simply be the most thick skinned people on earth. This is the last Sri Murali movie I would watch!

Keep making such movies and in a few years Kannadigas will stop coming to the theater to watch you. Maybe you simply deserve it.

Poor story rich making, Irritating bgm..

Poor story rich making. There is no special content in the movie as usual old story. But hero acting action and effort was good. Irritating bgm Ma. Da. Ga. Ja.. less entertainment and Not worth for money.

Iam also a fan of SriMurali there is no fault of hero and heroine and actors too..

Overall movie destroyed by BGM.

Worst screenplay. Nothing good.

They tried to do a KGF but ultimately flops. Waste of time and money. Definitely be in the one of the worst movies list.

If you want to waste 2 hours and regret for wasting it later, this is your movie.
