Here is the go word. The movie opens with the plot right away and we are sure that director is not trying to give focus on the regular commercial stuff. This movie starts down right serious. after some time, we feel it is extending and we need some rest now. There comes the classy touch away from the plot, giving NTR a character that tries to convey messages, for saving the environment and at the same time, giving sample for how nature gets angry, by bashing goons left right and all corners demonstrating earthquake and tsunami. we feel that this is novel way of adding humor to the character. Things become repetitive and at times going haywire and after some time, we feel that let us get to the plot now. Then again glimpse of the plot comes, and we end up for a bang on interval, that promises a lot for the next half to come.

Once the second half, starts, we are surely enthralled for the start, and we get the proceedings hitting the roof after the GHMC episode followed by the title track. There you go, this is what we were waiting for since 90 minutes. After the song, a little bit of family drama infused to add more classy touch for the narrative. then we feel that it is going right and looks for a solid stupendous finish. But,, what happened? There comes the problem. the movie does not know how to go and where to end, and how to end. Trouble starts, commercialism added, unnecessary dragged down to the hell dramatic scenes and a regular kind of climax that never seemed new, all feels for it, but alas! a poor finish for a great potential plot in the hand. Not me, everyone would be of this feel, when they come out from the screening. Somewhere, it did not hit right. Blame the screenwriter, director, editing or the narrative which spoils the whole plot.

Technically the movie was visually stunning, every frame. Cinematography by Thiru was top notch, every frame was rich, glowing with lights. Even in darker scenes, lighting was ambient and had a sense of brilliance poured over. Music and BGM by DSP was rocking. nothing to complain. Art department was seen with their efforts, on screen. Brilliant. The less I talk about editing, the better. In one word, Poor. Other technical elements were good.

So finally the movie was drawn out badly from being a decent one, due to the lengthy run time, blame the editor, and the preachy narration towards the end and a regular Indian climax, we have seen many times. This all boils down the over all effect of the good, instances we glimpsed. So a movie that never tries to rise, despite all such powerhouse performances, terrific music, excellent visuals. In the end, Janatha Garage is a film that comes with promise, and ends with the same feel we had it might turn out to be. Just okay. Not good, not bad. So who gets the blame? Since,it has a strong cast, openings are going to create records, for sure, but in the end, this movie will still have just a weekend run. This what worries me.

Unlike other movies, JG is not Hero Centric film. In this movie "Janatha Garage" itself plays a main role where justice is served to the people in need. Mohanlal essayed the role of a people's man in good way while Jr NTR again shown new variation as a Nature Lover & environmental sciences student, NTR excelled his role very neatly with fresh Screen Presence, the Simple Attire of NTR like a normal guy to next door, new voice modulation all worked out well for Anand (JNTR) Character.

Mohanlal & Jr NTR excelled once again where their performance is concerned. Samantha, Nithya Menon got limited roles but got some scope to act, Rajiv Kanakala got very Gud character while other artists like Suresh, Devyani, Unni Mukundan, Saikumar..all had done their job gud. The camera work done by Thiru is top-notch and Art work done by AS Prakash were very huge. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is Nice but not upto Janatha Garage mark as it has huge canvas he didn't matched that level but BGM in some scenes is very Good, all songs are situational based and lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry are Superb for Rockon Bro, Pranamam songs. Story - screenplay - direction by Koratala Siva, he got very nice subject and he almost succeeded in making it. Editing is Not Great, some unnecessary lengthy scenes can be edited but they kept full scene as it is, but Editing those scenes would have make the movie more crispier. Coming to Dance, we all know that NTR is one of the Best Dancers in India. Pakkalocal b/w Kajal, NTR came out very well where it gave good boosting for mass audience.

Jr NTR is to be appreciated as his greatness lies in letting Mohanlal also dominate the film. No other Telugu star hero would have allowed such a dominant and powerful role of Mohanlal to co-exist in a story. This film is a must watch with family where it got all ingredients like Family Drama, Emotions, Comedy, Action, Social Awareness.

I loved this movie thoroughly. Fantastic story. Excellent acting.

First of all, I want to say I like the storytelling style of Koratala Siva and I like his previous films. Mirchi was a good action movie (starring Prabhas) and Srimanthudu was also not a bad movie. The last one is not great but above the average. After these two commercially successful movies he came to us with Janatha Garage. This is one of the most anticipated movies in this year in Telugu cinema. Junior NTR has a good record in this year. His previous release "Nannaku Prematho" was a critically acclaimed movie and also a hit in Telugu box office. So for this movie we were so excited and were eagerly waiting for this.

As one of the most anticipated movies, I am not telling this is a bad movie. The first half is a little bit slower and needed more catchy scenes. Slow paced tone of the first half may be will bore you. But Junior NTR's powerful screen presence and very eminent dialogues bend you with the story. After the interval, you will experience the full pace and the suspense which will drive you to the end. I am not revealing the story but there is a hidden story which will unlock in the second half. Engaging but not new. Common suspense and thrill with the story and sometimes it is predictable.

Performance wise Junior NTR is the heart of this film and Mohanlal also has done a good job. But excellent acting and screen presence of NTR shadowed all other's performance. The direction of the movie is very average and nothing new. Music is average and not up to the mark. Script and screenplay are choppy and sometimes predictable and needed more shape of the story. Editing is not so good and for this sometimes the scenes continuation missed the clarification and it is like the scenes are jumped and overlapped.

Maybe it will be a record breaking opening at the box office and I assume this will be one of the biggest hits in this year but it could have been better and would be a gem if the director should be concentrated those things which I mentioned above.
