Film review ·
Bruce Lee, which is supposed to be a family entertainer, is a lacklustre action- drama. Srinu Vaitla seems to have lost touch and loses the plot in the middle. Even Chiranjeevi's cameo can't save him.


Ram Charan's charm carries a film that loses its way after intermission.

Critic consensus
Critical reception for Bruce Lee - The Fighter is largely negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding it a formulaic and underwhelming mass entertainer. Ram Charan's appeal to his fanbase is acknowledged as a draw, but critics widely fault director Srinu Vaitla for losing the plot midway and failing to deliver on his past standards. The much-anticipated Chiranjeevi cameo is seen as too little too late, arriving after a dull stretch. Excessive songs in the second half and a predictable structure are recurring complaints.

If you are a Ram Charan fan and also want to catch Megastar Chiranjeevi after years, then Bruce Lee is it.

Don't waste your money on Ram Charan's Bruce Lee as it is same as any other mass hero film, which you can watch on TV. Though Ram Charan's fans might enjoy it, I recommend others to stay away. And if your excuse to watch the film is Chiranjeevi's cameo, then be ready to be bored for nearly 2 hours and fifteen minutes before Mega star makes an entry.

...this is masala cinema at its best, and so the film is the best option for a leave-your-brains-at-home kind of experience. Also, it's definitely not boring. Srinu, however, disappoints, failing the bar he created with films like Aagadu and Dookudu.

In the latter half, when you have almost given up on the film, there are far too many songs. The moment you spot the heroine, you shudder expecting another song.
