Am I Missing Something?

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The film had some great plus points such as music, cinematography, story line and direction however the weak script made this movie boring. Even the title of the film did not make sense to the story. Ram Charan falls into the same trap as many actors: choosing generic scripts. He over acts with his dialogue delivery and he is unable to carry the movie. Rakul Preet as his love interest does a really good job but she is trapped with over the top dialogues. However, some credit should be given for a character that is different from generic portrayal of love interests. Kriti, as the sister, is able to help move the movie forward. But, again, the script does not really give her a chance to take charge. Arun Vijay as the antagonist was also a victim to poor screenplay. His role was not needed in this film. Overall, the film had a good concept but it was not brought to life.

SHORT REVIEW- Rating- 3/5+ Ram Charan and Rakul Preet Singh are rocking + visually striking songs with good beats + choreography + light hearted first half +Chiranjeevi's cameo - generic plot - mostly weak comedy in second halfArun Vijay is wastedIt's very routine in screenplay and plot, so if you are looking for something new then try some other movie. The lead pair do very well and are great in the songs. Thaman has composed three good songs while the other two are monotonous. Although it is just like Vaitla's other films, it's choreography and lead actors save it from turning into another Aagadu...if you go in with very low expectations you will enjoy it more

This movie has everything that a successful Tollywood flick needs, a larger than life hero who cannot act to save his life, a bimbo heroine whose skirts magically reduce an inch or more of length in songs, a family patriarch who is strict, a doting mother, a sister (who thankfully does not gets violated albeit she does gets drugged), 5 songs that sound stale (Trademark Thaman who like the director Srinu Vaitla rehashes the same tunes over and over again), slo-mo fight scenes with bodies flying around defying all earthly laws of physics, a brahmanandam comedy track that can barely invoke a simper (let alone a laugh) and so on. This is supposedly a "family entertainer for masses" movie that gets routinely churned out from Tollywood (and elsewhere in India too). Absolutely nothing new in the content and presentation. If you had seen Srinu Vaitla's previous films, you will have a feeling of deja vu because that's exactly this movie is, stale ! Ramcharan tries hard but he appears to be more wooden than ever. He dances well though. Rest of the people in the movie are just there as fillers. Yet another clichéd, predictable fare that makes you feel that probably watching a wet paint getting dried up is a better time-pass. The horror is that such movies rule and make the most money inspiring more clones and the eternal vicious cycle. I have no problems with mass movies if they do provide a wholesome entertainment or a fresh take. This one provides neither and is just a usual over-hyped movie. The golden moment in the film is Chiranjeevi's entry but it is too late to redeem it. But for him alone I give this movie 2 stars. If he had been the main lead, probably this would have been a different experience. IMDb says people who liked this movie also liked Aagadu, I think thats sums it up ! This one can be skipped and forgotten along with Srinu Vaitla's last venture Aagadu.

Bruce Lee is a good family entertainer. Sreenu Vaitla along with Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan delivered another successful entertainer, but this time he changes his style. You have to watch it on screen. Ram Charan is at his best. His dances and fights are the highlight. Acting is good but not enough for an actor of his range. Rakul Preet simply dominates everything whenever she appears on screen. Especially in the song Le Chalo she is at her best. Her beauty and locations compete with each others,but she finally manages to take over. Kriti Kharbanda is the true hero of this film. Being a successful heroine in Kannada, she accepted the role of a sister rather than lead role. For that she deserves special appreciation and proves that she is apt for the role. All the remaining characters are good. If I start mentioning about each and every actor, I may miss a few. Music by Thaman is good and he manages to score a decent BGM. Cinematography is good. Editing is smooth. Breathtaking stunts are another asset for the film. Megastar Chiranjeevi appears in a cameo which will be a special attraction but will not have a great impact. Production values are rich. Bruce Lee is a good entertainer but not as expected. So, go and watch without expectations.
