Kannappa

Being clear I am a brahmin myself this movie was just a high end no storyline money grabber nothing less than housefull 5 , Storyline nothing just some fantasy copied , action scenes? Obviously unrealistic, cinematography? Disastrous u can clearly the wireworks , the actions weren't clear , random cuts, 0 continuity in panning , some of the scenes were straight out of other movies , the amy fight scene bahubali ... The prabhas h2h combat .... The prosecutor and so on... It was just another money grabber by using hinduism and religious sentiments..this is my personal review I don't have any hate towards any targeted personnel.

A great cast, a poor screenplay and a disastrous storyline is what brings Kanappa together.

The future generation of Manchu family (Vishnu's kuds) are introduced in the first 10 minutes. Sharat kumar, Mohanlal, Brahmanandam could have done better roles.

The casting is a big minus. Especially Akshay Kumar for Shiva, Vishnu for Thinnada

The direction was oppressed by the senior actors esp Mohan babu, when his character wins some sense until Prabhas/Rudra comes to the screen. Acting is surely an understatement.

The movie flatters boredom right from the start as the script lacked conviction. It was more a natural tour of New Zealand.

Srikalahasti is a legendary tale, they should have focused more on that. But when amateur directors are welcomed, this is what we get best.

"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.

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?

This was the worst of all in 2025 till now, man how dis the makers even thought we would love it. OMG don't talk about graphics it was really poor, but it's not just graphics the film itself lacks your interest. Man I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. It's the actors bad but the way this movie directed is really useless, I think even the new cindrella remake was better than this. Why are they are the makers nowadays so obssessed with mythology and even they want to make pls make it clear and with less vulgarity, I just wasted my 3 hours and some mental health after watching this masterpiece.
