Brahmotsavam
2016 · AP Today · Jul 2016
Despite director's honest attempts to make us emotionally involved, we would emotionlessly wait for it to end. The best scene of the second half comes during the climax. But it is not strong enough to make us forget all the pain that we have gone through till that point. Even the family audiences will not be able to connect with these artificial emotions and lackluster script. Mahesh the superstar too will need a miracle to save this one from sinking.
Oopiri
2016 · AP Today · Apr 2016
Oopiri is all about moments and emotions. It cannot be seen as a simple film based on two people. There is so much depth into it and there is life in it. This is one of those films that cannot be missed at any cost. It is an experience that needs to be cherished by every film lover. Leave everything and just book your ticket now. Highly recommended.
Krishnashtami
2016 · AP Today · Feb 2016
Despite some funny moments here and there, watching this family entertainer is a painful experience on a whole.
Speedunnodu
2016 · AP Today · Feb 2016
Speedunnodu seems okay until the interval point with some laugh out loud moments. However the romantic track it is too predictable to keep us glued. Climax is different from usual but couldn't make the desired impact. Speedunnodu has its moments but fails to entertain or engage on a whole.
Nannaku Prematho
2016 · AP Today · Jan 2016
Nannaku Prematho is not a bad film at all. It has its moments and clever screenplay that will appeal to the educated audience. NTR and Jagapathi Babu have made it worth watching. Sukumar's brilliant screenplay will leave you awestruck at times. Having said that Nannaku Prematho may not perform well in B and C centers. People who liked 1 Nenokkadine will like this one too. But will this appeal to larger audience than 1?
Dictator
2016 · AP Today · Jan 2016
Post interval portions raise some hopes but the movie loses steam after that but the climax is good. Weak villains made it an ordeal as there is no scope for elevating heroism which holds key for any Balakrishna's movie. Everything is predictable but the mass elements make it a watchable fare. Balakrishna fans and masses may enjoy few dialogues and other stuff from their favorite hero. Others may find it a bit dated. On a whole Dictator is a decent mass entertainer for the genre lovers. Verdict: Dictator will rule.
Nenu Sailaja
2016 · AP Today · Jan 2016
Nenu Sailaja will strike a chord with the youth and the emotions in the second half will appeal to the family audience. This film will be appreciated by the target audience. Masses may find it little boring and sluggish that may hamper its chances in B and C centers. For its genuinely enjoyable scenes and touching emotions, Nenu Sailaja is worth a watch.
Bale Bale Magadivoy
2015 · AP Today · Sep 2015
The concept itself (Hero suffering from mild-Memory Loss) is enough to arouse the curiosity of the film lovers. When dealt well, Rib-Tickling Comedy could be produced. Maruthi has done the same and he has got a superb performer in the form of Nani to create maximum impact. There is nothing much to complain about this movie, except for Nani-Naresh Combination Scene and a forced song at the start of Second Half. Don't miss 'Bhale Bhale Magadivoy' if you wish to get entertained!
Kick 2
2015 · AP Today · Aug 2015
'Kick 2' garnered a massive 1150 screen release and hence it is expected to register career-best openings for Raviteja. In the full run, It has to generate a share of Rs 31 crore to attain a hit status. Prospects appear good in Mass Circuits and the final outcome depends mostly on the revenues in the First Weekend.
Mukunda
2014 · AP Today · Dec 2014
Srikanth Addala's strength lies in handling love track and family drama. In 'Mukunda', He tried to include heroism elevation scenes which were against his usual style. Poor writing and Not so impressive direction plays the spoilsport though. The fact that Hero-Heroine hardly talk to each other throughout the movie makes things worse. Some how, Srikanth ended up going off the track this time.
PK
2014 · AP Today · Dec 2014
A good story with taut-screenplay has been taken to the next level with the finest performances of the cast and flawless contributions of technical team. 'PK' delivers what it promises!
Lingaa
2014 · AP Today · Dec 2014
'Lingaa' is certain to take an earth-shattering opening as advance booking for the Weekend has been fantastic. In all possibility, It is expected to be biggest opener ever for a South Indian Film. But, Will that be enough to rewrite 'Robo' records?
Rough
2014 · AP Today · Nov 2014
...a routine plot and unimpressive narration to test the patience of audience.
Govindudu Andarivadele
2014 · AP Today · Oct 2014
At Box Office, 'Govindudu Andarivaadele' has got every chance of setting new records and certainly going to be one of the biggest hits in Charan's career. Just wait and watch to know if Bandla Ganesh's Industry Hit talk comes true or not!
Aagadu
2014 · AP Today · Sep 2014
At Box Office, 'Aagadu' will have a superb opening weekend because of enormous hype and massive release. We can't expect this routine flick to break too many record and even 'Dookudu' full run share is safe. To finish it off, 'Aagadu' isn't the kind of film one expects from Mahesh-Vytla combo.
Rabhasa
2014 · AP Today · Aug 2014
At Box Office, 'Rabhasa' will fetch good returns for the first one week and the end result largely depends on how well it fares in its second week facing an opposition from Raviteja's 'Power'. Verdict: One Time Watchable!
Galipatam
2014 · AP Today · Aug 2014
First Half of the movie is decent with romance and comedy. Second Half is loaded with sentiment and the climax is bold. This is were the film could have been trimmed by at least 15 to 25 minutes to make the proceedings interesting. 'Galipatam' is a case of Bold Concept & Bad Execution.
