political movie
script: leader is a brave attempt by director . he drives the movie really good and gives the movie a splendid finish. the movie is all about hero the son of chief minister of Andra pradesh who is an entrepreneur in USA. after the blast of his father , he decides to become c.m but cousin opposes him. after becoming c.m he faces many difficulties. how he overcomes and emerges as a leader is in the script.
casting: Rana is a pick for the movie. his dialog delivery and his height factor along with a stupendous look is the plus point. his lady love richa is OK. priya anand is supportive. suhasini manirathram is a good mother. kota is a stubborn and corruptive uncle. rest all apt.
screenplay: the movie in the first half , is well made and is fast.
the movie drags a bit in 2nd half. camera work is good.
action/drama: the movie is more dramatic rather than action oriented. there is no any action scene except a slap scene and some bullets along with a blast and fire scene.
songs/art : art work is apt. songs like vande mataram and leader title song is good. background score is well hitched. DTS mix at right intervals are apt. DTS mix is powerful during rain thunder storm.
final analysis: the first half is good to watch. the second half is a drag bit. though the climax is convincing. leader is a must watchable movie.

Honesty at its best
The most honest and best political cinema ever made in india.
Completely unexpected from sekhar kammula.
A textbook for political film genre. Deserved much more attention for the content. Though its a debut film for rana he pulled it off with his diction and sincerity.
Music does stand out many times. Kudos to mickey.
Definitely emotional and thought provoking.
Best Political Drama Ever
Kudos to director Sekhar kammula..
And
What a way to make a debut.. Rana..❤
Most underrated Political drama
One of the most underrated movie in Telugu cinema.
Rana Daggubati's acting was so fluent to believe this is his 1st film.
The roles of Richa & Suhasini were powerful enough to anchor the screenplay rock solid to the storyline.
The deep rooted corruption in our system can push any soul to make deal with devil as a necessary evil.
The way forward is to have Leaders instead of Politicians
