Powerful
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
one word that describes this movie is "ENTHRALLING"The specialist mass director Mr Rajamouli delivers it again.....the first half is too good.....and the scene just before interval is mind blowing good and believe me I have seen this movie innumerable times and the scene never fails to induce the goose-flesh till this date.....the dialogs are awesome....shriya too hot....prabhas is good and this movie delivered him all the accolades....second half is relatively dull compared to the first and looks a bit stretched but its OK.....special mention should be made regarding the little guy (shafi)who played younger brother of prabhas....he was too good and the rage that he expressed through his act was simply awesome....he deserved an award for it....all in all a must watch for all Telugu movie fans...
This is a movie that banks completely on the director's skills.A script that has its moments but slows down in the second half are compensated by the superb background score(one of the best you will ever hear)and very good performance by lead actor Prabhas who looks tailor made for the title role.Choreography,fight sequences and the sets are breathtaking and Rajamouli like in his all other previous movies uses the villain in an efficient way.Shriya is wasted - wonder why she agrees to do such mediocre stuff these days!Bhanupriya is a fantastic actress and lives up to the expectations.The chemistry between her and Prabhas is very good and keeps the movie going.The second half could have been much better but nevertheless its a movie you should watch.Far better than most of the recent flicks. PS:Look out for Venu Madhav's comic track.Its hilarious.
