Kannappa

Such a horrible screenplay if anyone values 3 hours pf valuable time refea8n from the movie . Story telling is at the lowest no proper BGM, cheap graphics . Hero has built body eating too much of meat but not investiled time to sharpen his acting skills. Expressions are horrible . Only saviour is 15 mins of prabhas. Better to watch it on OTT moving fast forward button.

I need my 3 hours of vaouable time back wasted my life trustong this horrible movie makers not worth watching....

Location is out of sync to movie, the primary focus is lost in story telling by director. Ecpressionless cast except prabhas.

Dont waste time.

What the hell was this !

Utter waste - the VFX, graphics was so horrible, incompetently bad and the screenplay - what a horrible mess.

The story has so much potential - but it requires a more subtle and restraint approach ( since the story is fantastic as it, if you go for hyperbole - it would be like this movie - a comedic parody )

Now the casting and acting - The lead was horrible - needs to learn micro expressions and bodylanguage - and not just be loud and crass.

The stellar supporting cast - mainly felt forced and grossly underutilized.

Wait for the OTT - you cannot suffer / stand this atrocity in the theatres - you need skip / fast forward to watch this !

Lack of passion and captivating emotions.

Mohan Babu, Prabhas, Mohan Lal did extremely well.

Top successful actors but, Akshay Kumar did not come across like a natural fit for the Siva role.

Sarat Kumar's screen presence is good, but dubbing is pale.

Brahmanandam, Saptagiri, Raghu babu, Siva Balaji are very talented, but not even 1% of their talent is utilized.

Direction is far below average, screen play is far below average.

Vishnu's needed more grace, passion and humbleness as a leader. Aggression is not well articulated or captured. His muscular body helped in portraying the Tinnadu lead role.

Mr. Director, When you watch Bahubali, RRR, Pushpa (lousy story) etc., you will be pleasantly thrilled from scene to scene with something captivatingly new. Is that lacking here?

"KANNAPPA" (2025), a Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, attempts to portray the life of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva.

As someone unfamiliar with the legend of Kannappa, I found the film largely unsuccessful in bringing his story to life.

At 3 hours and 3 minutes, the movie is excessively long, but my issue isn't with its runtime-it's with the sluggish pacing, unnecessary vulgarity for a devotional film, forgettable dialogue, and underdeveloped characters.

While the story centers on Kannappa, it also tries to mimic the grandeur of Baahubali, with Kannappa and Nemali resembling Prabhas and Tamannaah's characters from that epic.

Even the villain feels like a recycled version of Baahubali's Kaalikey.

The star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal, Mukesh Rishi, and Prabhas, is impressive but underutilized. Most actors are sidelined or given lackluster roles.

The visual effects are also feel low quality and literally bad.

Prabhas shines in his scenes, but his entry comes only after two hours, by which point the film has already dragged. The first two hours feel bloated and could easily have been condensed into 40-50 minutes to maintain momentum.

Last 30 minutes are absolutely best but it could be way more better.

Ultimately, Kannappa fails as a family-friendly devotional or mythological film due to its inappropriate content and lackluster execution. I wouldn't recommend it for those seeking a meaningful cinematic experience.

Despite big names like Prabhas and several cameo appearances, the film fails to impress. The choreography lacked impact, and the story narration felt disjointed with no emotional depth or standout moments. Cameos seemed forced and underutilized, adding little to the plot. Even Prabhas's role was not well-developed, missing the powerful presence he's known for. Weak presentation, poor pacing, and inconsistent visuals further hurt the experience. Overall, it was a disappointing watch, earning just 4 out of 10-saved only by the excitement of the cameo characters. It's better for a call to manchu family can stop acting in the movies and start the production to make better career in the industry.
