Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

... View MoreI 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!
... View Morethis movie is one of the stupid films of this year ; first of all i am not blaming the content of this movie ; content was bought from a tamil movie named Thani oruvan; there is no point in discussing about the content as no credit goes for Dhruva film makers ; secondly the director who performed well in his previous movies has now become a passionless director who is trying to gain as much money as he can while the fame is still with him , i have a reason to say this - not even single action sequence was shot clearly , we don't know who the hero beats and how ; which clearly was result of making multiple takes and mixing all those in the editing room in a clumsy manner; coming to the actor Ram charan acting skills are very poor and i need to say to my fellow stupid telugu idiotic fans that body building don't come under having dedication for a film ; so his acting is a big let down once again and the heroine is just a glamour doll , she is best suited as a model which she previously was ; she don't even has lip sync in a straight telugu film and her acting skills are below par people who doesn't even qualify as actors and actress are ruling this industry , this shows how much big goats are the audience who watch and encourage this kind of disgusting film makingcoming to the music by HipHop tamizha , these tunes very fresh and it have a fresh feel for the people who were intoxicated by the routine tunes of DSP and thamani feel like this passionless film making must not be entertained and hence i give it a 0 star
... View MoreSiddharth Abhimanyu (who grows up to be Arvind Swamy) who goes to jail for a crime he didn't commit, so that his father (Posani) could get an MLA ticket in return. Cut to the present when Dhruva (Ram Charan) an IPS trainee, is introduced as a do-good-er despite bending a few rules with his friends to solve petty crimes. Dhruva lives by the philosophy that "your enemy decides your capacity" and he aims to choose an enemy who has the power to control "a 100 criminals".Siddharth Abhimanyu (Arvind Swamy) is an young and top scientist in India who has a criminal network which he operates clandestinely. Dhruva who is looking for a bigger target stumbles upon the secret criminal activities of Siddharth. Rest of the story is all about how they outsmart each other before Dhruva winning the duel.Ram Charan is perfect for the role of a tough and an intelligent cop. His physical transformation (6-pack and hair-cup) suited the character excellently. His styling is great. His performance in a couple of scenes (proposal scene to heroine and death scene of a friend) is first-rate. Arvind Swamy proves that audiences can also fall in love with a villain while rooting for the hero. The writer has redefined the role of a villain with such a good looking, intelligent yet evil character and Arvind Swamy entices you with his terrific performance. Rakul Preet Singh brings glamour and love to this otherwise intense drama. Navdeep and Randhir are good as few of Dhruva's buddies. The character of Posani Krishna Murali provides a bit of comic relief (though didn't yield the desired results fully). Sayaji Shinde and Madhu Singampalli (Chakravakam fame) are good as baddies.
... View MoreThe 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.
