  • Performances:

    Ravi Teja’s strength is his impulsiveness in action (behavioral action without any drama) and exceptional dialogue delivery with a tinge of accent, Ravi Teja displays an unparalleled command over each and every aspect of his authoritative presence on the screen. But the director failed to use all of them in right directions in the characters of Bullet Raja and home minister. Instead he over exploited the energy which resulted in cheap and over dosage of comedy.

    Tapsee is charismatic in looks department and is adequate in acting. Her role is very limited in this film and he is very hot in the songs.Comedy by Brahmi as Vidya Balan and his assistant as Nitya Menon is damn hilarious. And undoubtedly, Brahmi is one of the assets of the movie.

    MS Narayana, Vennela Kishore, LB Sri Ram are good in little roles they are offered.
    Technical Performances:

    Preferring a director whose last movie 'Souryam' is a debacle seems to be rather a risky decision. But, the director Siva does a decent job in the movie. By keeping the image and body language of Ravi Teja in mind, he chose the subject but failed to narrate entire film in lighter vein mode, He has very bad flair for conceiving comedy scenes. The comedy seem to be going overboard with a tinge of Tamil flavour. The story is a routine and predictable one also he let down the entire flow with some predictable narration.

    Dialogues by Ramesh Gopi and Anil Ravipati are okay. Director Siva is a camera man himself before wielding the megaphone, he drew best out of Cinematographer Vetri. Editing by Goutham Raju is okay. Back ground music and songs by Vijay Anthony are good.

    Highlights:

    1. Ravi Teja's Body language and mannerisms
    2. Art work and CG work
    3. Brahmi's role
    4. Better execution of Second half

    Drawbacks:

    1. Routine and predictable story
    2. Tamil flavoured comedy
    3. Not so convincing climax

    Final Say:

    What audience expect from a Ravi Teja's movie is two and half hours complete entertainment, his last two movies Veera and Nippu exactly missed that and the result is two back to back duds for Mass Maharaja. Siva tried not to repeat the same in this movie, He is half successful when he chose an entertaining subject but could not deliver completely as he fell shot in executing it. The second half of the movie excluding the climax sequences is the saving grace of the movie with the movie picking up some pace. Urbane audience may reject it outright. B and C center audience might enjoy to some extent due the slapstick comedy.

    The movie might perform well at the box office than Veera and Nippu but coming to my opinion, Thumbs down!
