    Panjaa Strikes!

    Pawan Kalyan ever since his debut has been an icon for many people. Every movie of his has something different. Panjaa directed by Vishnu Vardhan is an extremely slick and stylish entertainer. Never before seen action sequences and cinematography can be observed in the movie. All actors including the new faces like Sarah Jane, Anjali Lavania and Advi Sesh have done extremely well by fitting into their characters perfectly. All though movie is a one man show with Pawan Kalyan sporting a new look and extremely stylish costumes. All video songs have been shot impressively well. The title track is the one to watch out for. Pawan Kalyan shaking his leg to it makes it all the more awesome.

    Music director Yuvan deserves appreciation for amazing notes and background score in the movie. All though there was immense hype before the release of the movie, Panjaa has well enough stood the ground and stood up to the expectations. The movie is a feast for Power Star Pawan Kalyan fans. Movie lovers will love the high technical standards of the movie. Overall the movie is an extremely stylish and well directed movie. Do not miss watching it to see how the technical standards in Telugu cinema have risen. Also glad that Pawan Kalyan is back with a blockbuster.

    Hello All,

    The Movie is really good. Power Star had showed his power in the film with action, comedy, sentiment and everything. The whole movie is really nice without any boring scenes.

    Only minus is Actresses. Music is extraordinary and even Jackie shroff acted very nice. Pawan dance is also nice.

    Please don't depend on Reviews, Ratings and Outside talk. Its a complete movie. I heard that movie is average and similar to Balu Movie but after watching the movie, i felt very happy.

    Go and watch the Movie. Njoy....................

    Stylish Movie

    Panjaa: It's one of the most stylish film till date in Telugu cinema with powerful action from the power star.

    Songs came out very well and the performance from the Pawan Kalyan was once again up to the highest mark.

    Direction was good and technical values of making the cinema can be seen.

    new look of the pa wan will be attracted to every one who saw the movie.

    hope it breaks all the records in the first 7 days of its run.

    kudos to the hero for the one of the finest movie.
