  • Boya is a Genre

    I honestly walked into this film expecting peak nonsense - the kind of illogical, silly, over-the-top cringe that at least gives you unintentional comedy. But no. Boyapati had other plans. Instead of "so bad it's fun," he delivered "so bad it's painful." It's boring, impossible to focus on, outrageously loud, ridiculously violent, and proudly brainless.

    Balakrishna in the lead? Oh, absolutely perfect. Only he can play a protagonist written with the depth of a WhatsApp forward. No one else could survive this role without losing their sanity. Samyukta is the female lead, apparently. What she's doing here is one of the film's biggest mysteries - and trust me, the movie has many.

    The rest of the cast? They don't act; they just attack the audience's patience.

    And Boyapati... wow. He didn't push the limits - he launched himself into space. He has officially created a film so chaotic that scientists should genuinely study his brain activity. This movie alone explains why aliens refuse to make contact with Earth.

    If you actually sit through this masterpiece of madness, please book a therapist afterwards. You deserve emotional support for surviving it.

  • Honest Opinion

    Just wrapped up "Dhurandhar," and honestly, the story isn't anything wild. It's a basic setup with enough potential to cook up some cool action moments - and clearly that's what the team was betting on. The opening portions actually hit pretty well, mostly because the actors show up and Aditya Dhar knows how to kick things off with style.

    But the romantic portions? Nah. Zero vibe. They feel like someone pasted scenes from a different movie just to fill space. Total buzzkill. The interval block is solid, but the climax could've gone harder - it ends up feeling a bit undercooked.

    The film's also way longer than it needs to be. Too many unnecessary scenes dragging the runtime, and the violence is cranked up like they were trying to break some "most punches thrown" record. Didn't need all that, bro.

    Acting-wise, everyone does a decent job except the female lead, who doesn't quite blend with the tone. Direction, though, is on point - Aditya Dhar clearly knows what he's doing. Cinematography and production design look clean, the fight sequences and stunt choreography are legit impressive, and the music hits nicely in a few scenes.

    Overall, if the promos got you hyped and my comments don't freak you out, go ahead and check it out. It's not a banger, but it's got its moments - especially if you're down for stylish action and don't mind a little chaos.

  • Honest Opinion.

    The core idea of the film is simple but good. The story and character development are okay, nothing great but nothing terrible either. The screenplay moves very slowly and is quite predictable, but the emotional beats - especially in the second half - land well. People from Andhra might connect with the film more than audiences from Telangana, simply because of the cultural tone and sensibilities. Overall, it's an average film, not a bad one.

    Ram and Upendra do justice to their roles, and Bhagyashree is fine in her part. The music and cinematography are good, and the production values are rich enough for a film of this kind.

    If the promos caught your attention, you might enjoy it. This generation's youth may like it even more, since they haven't watched as much diverse content as the older generation, so this might feel fresh to them.
