    100% Entertainer if You Don't Compare it with JigarThanda

    Pros: Varun's Transformation is at a new level @ Comedy- Satya and Brahmaji did a tremendous Job, ROFL @ BGM - Highlight @ Camera - Ayanaka Bose's work is extraordinary @ Retro Episode is totally Highlight of the entire movie - especially the "Yelluvochi Godaramma" @ We can feel all emotions through out the movie

    Cons: NO - Because I don't compare it with JigarThanda.

    New look of old face...

    Very matured action by Varun. Screenplay is good. Remix song is the highlight for the movie.

    Jigarthanda - Raw and Rustic Flick. GG- Rod and Rustful flick.

    Performance wise Varun Tej has accomplished the challenge in front of him very elegantly and after the movie u doesnt feel national award winning performance of bobby simha has been ruined but the changes made and the commercial look pushes this movie from artistic and raw movie to routine commercial movie. Bobby simha character had its grey area and realistic in not criticizing the acting aspirants but here since the movie crown puller has some sort of market they have changed that realistic approach but still a nice. Music - 😍👌 became a fan of micky j meyer and waiting for more mass beats from him. Dailogues - Harris Jayraj best for this movie from direction, screenplay and dailogues.

    Best Movie in Varun Tej Carrer

    Great Acting and great variation from Varun Tej, Superb Remix song.
    3krishnar-17278

    Violence, violence and more violence

    First half is full of violence. Do not go to this movie with Children or kids. Varun's performance is good. Person does all violent acts throughout his life and suddenly becomes a great guy. There is a limit to how much violence can be shown in movies. Showing violence as a great thing is not good.
