    Must watch movie for everyone

    The movie starts with slow pace for 15 minutes then tracks to racy. Every minute of this movie is worth watching.This is Ram Charan's best in his career. Acting wise Charan had done justice to it he is improving film by film. Rakul Preet cute and hot as ever. Aravind Swamy is superb. Navdeep had nailed his character. Direction of Surender Reddy is superb his demands really worked out. Cinematography is awesome. Songs were uniquely awesome, Pareshanura song is my favorite, Neethoney Dance song Charan dance moves pretty cool really enjoyed. Overall movie is pure Blockbuster. Yes its best movie of Tollywood this year. A perfect end and more importantly its better than original Thani Oruvan.

    Intellectual brilliance in script and a feast to all viewers.

    I did not watch Thani Oruvan before Dhruva. So mine is an open review! I give my review only to movies I really loved watching. I don't want to waste time to show hatred. Talking about Dhruva, this movie had impressed me so much that nothing comes close to this in 2016. The script was excellent and far better than any routine stupid drama movies we see these days. Technical brilliance must be appreciated. Even though its a remake, the director and actors took it as a challenge and made it a visual feast to the audience. If you didn't know the script before-hand, then the tension that was carried out will make you enjoy the thrill you face. So I recommend the people who have not seen Tamil version to go to this movie and you will experience great joy. Even if you have seen Tamil version, this movie is so good to watch & shows its technical superiority. What's for the cine goers(physical & technical aspects): Ram Charan- Excellent physique(he really worked out), Great acting(better than his previous films), looked extremely stylish Rakul Preet- Ravishing body(exclusively hot in songs)& good acting(the mirror scene-audience really enjoyed the love expression) Director Surrender Reddy- Improved his directional style. I liked Racegurram but this one was even better in terms of screenplay & cinematography. Aravind Swamy- Incredible and he looked scary with decent looks. Great acting as well. Others- Navdeep did a great job and other artists did very well in their roles. What not to expect: Not a lot of comedy but there are few jokes and the thrill you face makes you forget about the comedy. So don't worry about it. Overall: The best movie of this year in Telugu! Go for it. Demonetization had shown some its effect on the collection otherwise it would have already broken many records considering the strength that the movie has!

    Two Men Show

    Dhruva is a milestone for Ram Charan. Performance wise Ram Charan gave his Best in this movie. Although, it is a remake this film gave a very good respect to the original movie never changed anything but while watching this movie you'll never get bored. Especially Aravaind swami gave a magic performances in many scenes. Other actors like Rakul Preet, Navdeep and Posani has done their part. Another asset for this movie is music.It was composed by Hiphop Tamizha, tunes are very good with gripping Background. Everything in this movie was perfect costumes of every actor represents their character cinematography looks very rich Finally Dhruva is a two men show
