Manamantha
2016 · 123Telugu · Aug 2016
On the whole, Manamantha is a unique family thriller which impresses you completely. Movies like these are rare to come by and when they do, they are a treat to watch. The near perfect casting who gets into the skin of their characters is seamless and undoubtedly the greatest asset for the film. It would be really interesting to see how the commercial audience lap up a serious film like this. Finally, Manamantha is a movie which can be enjoyed thoroughly. Go for it.
Sardaar Gabbar Singh
2016 · 123Telugu · Apr 2016
On the whole, Sardaar Gabbar Singh will surely go well with all Pawan Kalyan fans. Right from the word go, it is Pawan's solid screen presence and energetic performance that will bind you completely. Impressive first half and some stylish thrills are basic assets. But a weak story line, lengthy run time and a dragged out second half spoil the fun to an extent and make this film exclusive for fans only.
Oopiri
2016 · 123Telugu · Apr 2016
Though one feels that the film is majorly catered to class audience, it has the capacity to even impress the front benchers because of its universal emotions. Very rarely does one come across such a meaningful film in Telugu which holds your attention with its beautiful narration.
Krishnashtami
2016 · 123Telugu · Feb 2016
Watch it only if you have nothing else to do as this film has nothing new to offer and ends up as a routine and outdated family drama.
Garam
2016 · 123Telugu · Feb 2016
Garam is yet another disappointing attempt from talented hero Aadi. Although his mature performance and a few emotions give a good start, the heroine, direction and screenplay falter at the finish line. A better script selection will surely take Aadi to places in the future. Finally, you can save this one for the small screen.
Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha
2016 · 123Telugu · Feb 2016
Whenever Nani picks up a script, you are bound to expect something new. The same happens with Krishnagadi Veera Prema Gadha as the interesting love story is narrated with some good thrilling elements. Nani's natural performance, breezy first half and good twists are huge assets. Barring the excessive length and certain lags during important scenes, this film ends up as an entertaining watch and will surely be yet another feather in Nani's cap.
Speedunnodu
2016 · 123Telugu · Feb 2016
Speedunnodu has an interesting story line which is set well in a rural set up. Bellamkonda Srininvas impresses with his all round skills and does his job pretty well. Interesting twists during the climax and lavish songs are huge assets. Barring a few dull moments during the first half and lack of emotional bond between the friends, this film can be given a shot for its overall package.
Soggade Chinni Nayana
2016 · 123Telugu · Jan 2016
Whenever Nagarjuna has done entertaining roles, films have always clicked. Same is the case with Soggade Chinni Nayana which is a complete family entertainer. Nagarajuna's live wire performance and some very neatly executed family emotions are huge assets for this film. Barring the slow pace during the second half, this film ends up as an enjoyable watch for every section of the audience this Sankranthi season.
Dictator
2016 · 123Telugu · Jan 2016
Dictator is a film which has all the necessary ingredients of a typical commercial entertainer. Balakrishna's thumping performance, mass dialogues, fights and enough glamour elements will keep the fans and B and C center audience happy. If you ignore the routine and predictable story line, this film will be a decent festival outing this weekend. Go watch it.
Nenu Sailaja
2016 · 123Telugu · Jan 2016
...a simple yet beautiful love story with the right mix of family emotions. Superb first half, Ram's balanced performance and a clean narration are huge assets for the film. If you ignore the routine nature of the script during the second half, you can happily watch this feel good film with your entire family and start the new year on a positive note.
Bengal Tiger
2015 · 123Telugu · Dec 2015
On the whole, Bengal Tiger is a typical Ravi Teja mark entertainer. A full on entertaining first half, glamour quotient and well executed mass elements are huge assets for the film. If you manage to go in well prepared for a serious and emotional second half, Bengal Tiger will end up as a comfortable watch this weekend.
Shankaraabharanam
2015 · 123Telugu · Dec 2015
On the whole, Shankarabharanam is good only in bits and pieces. A dragged out first half, slow narration and some below par execution of crucial scenes spoil the effect most of the time. Having said that, you can try this film only for its unique story line and Pruthvi's comedy punches here and there.
Size Zero (Inji Iduppazhagi)
2015 · 123Telugu · Nov 2015
On the whole, Size Zero is a film which has some interesting moments going its way. Interesting premise and a superb first half are basic positives of this film. If you manage to ignore the mediocre second half and predictable nature of the script, you can easily give this film a shot for Anuhska's stunning performance and some feel good moments.
Cheekati Rajyam
2015 · 123Telugu · Nov 2015
On the whole, Cheekati Rajyam is a slick action thriller with interesting moments going its way. Racy first half, Kamal Haasan's performance and some stylized action episodes are huge assets. On the flip side, a predictable story line and a slightly dragged out second half spoil things a bit. All those who like action thrillers will end up loving it big time and for the rest it ends up as just a decent watch this weekend.
Kumari 21F
2015 · 123Telugu · Nov 2015
As expected, Kumari 21 F is a bold attempt from Sukumar. This youthful entertainer stays true to its genre and is bound to do well with the younger lot. Also, it is high time that film makers attempt hard hitting films like these once in a while. Finally, if you manage to sit through the predictable nature of the script, Kumari 21 F will surely impress you its raunchy moments, lead pair's performance and a emotional climax.
Kanche
2015 · 123Telugu · Oct 2015
Tollywood has become an industry which is no longer associated with only commercial entertainers. Films like Baahubali, Rudrama Devi and now Kanche, have pushed the boundaries beyond everyone's expectations. Krish should be truly appreciated for attempting a film which takes Telugu films to another level. A realistic back drop, gripping visuals and stunning performance by Varun Tej are major assets. Barring the slow narration, Kanche is a film which is devoid of masala entertainment and should be given a shot for its daring and different attempt.
Rudhramadevi
2015 · 123Telugu · Oct 2015
On the whole, Rudrama Devi is a decent attempt from Gunasekhar. Heavy duty star cast, rich visuals and Allu Arjun's stunning character elevate the film to a decent level. But a dragged out narration and slow pace of the film makes things tedious during the second half. The film is bound to get some huge openings because of the buzz it is carrying. Finally, if you keep all your expectations in check and go with the flow of the film, you can easily give this film a shot for its lavish film making and historical lineage.
Courier Boy Kalyan
2015 · 123Telugu · Sep 2015
When you try to induce unnecessary commercial elements in a very interesting and engaging concept, the result is Courier Boy Kalyan. The film which could been a decent thriller is seriously obstructed with the arrival of songs and a hurried up climax. But a breezy first half, and some engaging thrills salvage the film which ends up as just an ok watch.
Bale Bale Magadivoy
2015 · 123Telugu · Sep 2015
...a hilarious entertainer which will be loved by one and all. Nani's stunning performance and the non stop entertainment are major assets of the film. If you manage to ignore certain logics and a cleashed climax, this film will entertain you right till the end and is not to be missed.
Kick 2
2015 · 123Telugu · Aug 2015
Kick 2 is yet another mass Ravi Teja film which has entertainment and emotions in equal doses. But lack of basic entertainment in the second half let's down the film to an extent. However, a hilarious first half, beautiful songs and Ravi Teja's strong screen presence in the film over shadow these flaws and decently entertain you with its emotional content.
Bāhubali: The Beginning
2015 · 123Telugu · Jul 2015
Baahubali is one film which every Indian movie lover can be extremely proud off. Right from the word go, this visual extravaganza treats you to some never before seen elements in Indian films. Prabhas's stunning avatar as Baahubali, brilliant art work to some eye topping visuals effects, this film has it all. Genius director Rajamouli, should be lauded and supported for his dedication in taking Telugu cinema to the next level. Finally, if you ignore the predictable story line and keep your expectations in check, Baahubali is bound to entertain you big time.
Uttama Villain
2015 · 123Telugu · May 2015
Uttama Villain will only appeal to a certain section of audience. Kamal Haasan's mature performance and a emotional climax are basic assets of the film. On the flip side, a lengthy second half and lack of entertainment values will go against the film big time. Finally, all those who like Kamal Haasan's style of film making and melodrama might end up liking it. But for the rest, it is just a below average affair.
Temper
2015 · 123Telugu · Feb 2015
Temper has everything which NTR fans can eagerly look forward to. NTR's stylish look and super strong characterization are major assets of the film. If you can ignore the routine story, you are in for an emotional entertainer which is going to become a perfect comeback hit for Young Tiger.
Rough
2014 · 123Telugu · Nov 2014
'Rough' is a below par mass entertainer which lacks an interesting story line. Aadi's performance and a few emotional scenes here and there are the only saving grace in this film which is quite outdated and boring.
Jai Hind 2
2014 · Nov 2014
Jai Hind 2 is an out and out Arjun film right till the end. Be it his acting, stunts or direction, he handles every department convincingly. But an extended run time, forced comedy track and tedious first half an hour stops this film from becoming an complete action entertainer. Finally, all those who love serious films with a social message will end up liking this one.
Current Theega
2014 · 123Telugu · Nov 2014
...starts on a promising note with some well designed entertainment during the first half. The tempo dips slightly in the second half but is made up during the climax. Manoj's electrifying performance, Sunny Leone and Rakul Preet's glamor and some comedy elements makes this film a decent time pass entertainer.
Oka Laila Kosam
2014 · 123Telugu · Oct 2014
With this film, it is once again proved that Naga Chaitanya is at ease with romantic entertainers. He along with debutante Pooja Hegde dominate the film with their superb performances. On the flip side, a predictable and simple second half slows down things to an extent. But who cares, as long as you are entertained and cheered up which Oka Laila Kosam manages to do decently.
Paathshala
2014 · 123Telugu · Oct 2014
Paathshala is quite a different and sensible film in this day and age. It nicely showcases the problems and aspirations of the youth in a decent and entertaining manner. On the flip side, lack of known faces and a pretty slow and emotional second half spoils the fun to an extent.
Govindudu Andarivadele
2014 · 123Telugu · Sep 2014
With Govindudu Andarivadele, it is once again proved that Krishna Vamsi is a master at making family entertainers. He brings out stunning human relationships, and sketches an entertaining family drama. Charan's career best performance, Kajal's glamour and superb performances from the supporting cast, make this film a must watch for the entire family.
Loukyam
2014 · 123Telugu · Sep 2014
Loukyam is a decent entertainer with comedy working in major parts. Gopichand's acting, hilarious comedy by Pruthvi and Brahmanandam in the second half are basic plus. On the flip side, even this film also suffers from the same tried and tested formula of the routine family entertainers. But who cares, Loukyam provides you the much needed fun and relief than the past few releases, and will nicely be lapped up by the family audience.
Aagadu
2014 · 123Telugu · Sep 2014
With Aagadu, Mahesh Babu once again proves his super stardom. Right from the word go, it is Mahesh, Mahesh and only Mahesh throughout the film. Even though this film has routine similarities to Vaitla's previous flicks, entertaining comedy in the first half coupled with some decent music makes this film an ok family entertainer.
Rabhasa
2014 · 123Telugu · Aug 2014
Rabhasa is definitely not the blockbuster hit that NTR was desperately looking for. But some entertaining comedy and NTR's one man show, will surely make the general audience lap up this average entertainer during the festive season.
Nee Jathaga Nenundali
2014 · 123Telugu · Aug 2014
...is no way close to the original. But what works for this film is the stunning music and superb production values. If you go in without expectations and Aashique 2 in mind, you might end up bearing this typical multiplex kind of a film.
Drushyam
2014 · 123Telugu · Aug 2014
Drishyam is one film which works big time in all departments. Right from the striking performances of Venkatesh and Nadia, to the thrilling suspense elements, Drushyam has everything for everyone. A must watch for the entire family.
Alludu Seenu
2014 · 123Telugu · Aug 2014
lludu Seenu is a tailor made launch pad for Bellamkonda Sreenivas. He makes an impressive debut and enthralls everyone with his dances and fights. Samantha's glamour, V V Vinayak's routine but entertaining commercial aspects, and Brahmi's hilarious comedy makes this film a wholesome entertainer.
Galipatam
2014 · 123Telugu · Aug 2014
On the whole, Gaalipatam is quite a brave film in today's day and age. It puts out its message loud and clear, in a pretty bolder way. Aadi's mature performance, and an unconventional climax makes this film definitely worth a watch.
Nuvvala Nenila
2014 · 123Telugu · Aug 2014
On the whole Nuvvala and Nenila is yet another outdated and boring romance from Varun Sandesh. Films like these will never bring him back in form. Other than Poorna's decent performance, this film has absolutely nothing new in it. You can safely ignore it.
