Arjun Reddy (2017)

Too much of everything

Just what I expected

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Not a film for everyone if you are a Telugu movies fan with fights, slow motion entry of a hero and with two item songs then it's not for you. No one can say it's a film of a debut director. Awesome direction by Sandeep vanga Reddy. Acting of Vijay devarakonda was just fabulous his acting will make you attached to the seats from start to end. Telugu industry has just reached a new level of cinema by this film .

By now, around 100% of you might have watched the latest telugu movie called Arjun Reddy. 70-80% have liked it and around 20-30% have been nagging, mocking and loathing it in various platforms either because of religious bigotry or cultural divide or their teeny tiny brain can't comprehend on how to watch a movie or total lack of movie sense or sheer stupidity or some other BS. Whatever may be the reason, I'm not going to butter up here and profess that yeah, people have different tastes kind of mundane stuff. Arjun Reddy is raw, bold and intense story telling criterion. It mocks the age old commercial format in telugu cinema and razors every conventional way of story telling in TFI.Here are some specific scenes and details which I adored in Arjun Reddy. These are a true testament to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's capability as a narrator. And btw, who's Vijay Devarakonda? I only saw Arjun Reddy setting screen on fire :). Absolute brilliance.Scene 1 - Holi Fight: One of the best confrontation scenes between two characters. Pure adrenaline rush. Arjun creates the required impact thru his angry tears after that 'angerorgasm'. Shalini expressing her love, Amit's promise after flashing his ego and Arjun's victory all have been etched exquisitely into one episode.Scene 2 - Interval bang: It was a WTF moment in a spellbinding way. The way the scene shifts from 'the spread on the bed' to the glaring title with blood dispersed in background is too good for a telugu movie. Such nuances make movie watching enthralling.Scene 3 - Shalini's minor injury: Arjun gets injured by a piece of glass on the floor. He tries to pluck it out and the scene cuts to Arjun's friend removing a piece of glass from Shalini's leg in the flashback. Again, this is one more deftly crafted episode. Amazing screenplay overall.Scene 4 - Football fight: Amit abuses and hits Arjun. And how does Arjun respond? He first smashes the referee who had fixed the match, then goes on with Amit. Not instantaneous. Well thought and controlled outburst like a fusion in a nuclear reactor.Scene 5 - Shalini trying to calm down Arjun (6 hrs deadline): After the big fight with Shalini's dad, Arjun's arrogance and attitude comes out in brute force. His BP could have broken the sphygmomanometer. Shalini's tries her best to calm him down, soothe Arjun in every possible way. Does Arjun come back to his senses? Hell, No. This is Arjun Reddy. His characterization is linear throughout (always in the peaks). He still reminds Shalini of the deadline and storms away.Scene 6 - Arjun snorting coke before trial: This is a direct lift from Denzel Washington's Flight. But what stands out is the BGM composed for this episode by Radhan. As Arjun snorts and gets high on coke, audience do get the same high curtsy BGM.So, what are you still waiting for? If you are true movie lover (keeping aside all your religious and cultural limitations) go watch it again and again and get absorbed into the riveting world of Arjun Reddy. Welcome to new age Telugu cinema !!!

What is the specialty of this movies is you cannot come out from the story till end lights will on in the theater. Director Sandeep and Vijay's best combination. worth watching.

Liberate tutu me ex inferis. my goal is to save innocent bakras from watching this movie.I am wasting even more time on this movie posting this to save others. after reading my synopsis if you want to watch this, dont say there was no warning. the "hero: is an overly aggressive psychopathic Dbag who smokes, drinks, gets high , operates while high. He overdoses while his brother is getting high and shows no feelings when he ignores his brothers and fathers feelings for screwing up the wedding. The cherry on the top being the "heroine" is pregnant with his child. she also does not let her husband even touch her dirty clothes- her words not mine. Her father shows excellent judgement in diagnosing the Dbag but she still loves him any way. The people who made this movie seem to have trouble differentiating free spirit and a psychopath who also happens to be a douche. Save yourselves from hell!
