Reviews

The film revolves around two men who, despite being identical, differ in age. They lead ostensibly selfless lives, convinced that their actions reflect love and responsibility towards their respective families. However, when faced with challenging circumstances, their true self-centered nature is revealed, as they prioritize personal desires over familial commitments.

In terms of the movie's execution, both the main characters and supporting cast deliver commendable performances. The screenplay is well-crafted, and the background score complements the narrative effectively. The film guarantees a minimum level of engagement, captivating audiences to the point where they abandon their daily routines to witness the characters' conflicts over a parking space.

The central conflict revolves around the protagonists' relentless pursuit of a parking spot, providing a relatable and amusing premise that keeps viewers glued to their seats. The movie subtly conveys a poignant message to families as the initially affectionate hero, seemingly idealized by many, fails to uphold his character when confronted with the genuine responsibilities of impending parenthood. The stark contrast between his initial display of care and his later egocentric actions serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of consistency in relationships.

In summary, the film succeeds in delivering both entertainment and thought-provoking content. The strong performances, well-crafted screenplay, and engaging conflict make it a worthwhile watch for audiences seeking a blend of humor and reflection on human nature.

Much needed movie for all generations with good storyline, message and inspiration. All actors performed very well. But looked like lot of cinematic liberties were taken for granted, one thing is people will not be interested in movies without those additions, but movie like this might have avoided it. One example is heros motivation is his family but they showed heroine proposing to him was the top motivation. Also for preparations like civil services one must need enough rest for body and mind, but hero works 15 hrs, 6 hrs of study and only 3hrs of sleep. One more bad thing is trying to hit librarian with shoe, librarian helped to get accomodation and shelter and some money for hero and few before him, but because of a misunderstanding hero tried to hit him with shoe? Also, threatening a police officer by telling him that he will become IPS officer and suspend him shows immaturity.

The movie is below par in all departments except for Prabhas. There are lot of misfit actors like Jagapathi babu, Shruti Hasan, Brhahmaki, Shafi etc.. with full respect to them as they are very good actors if characters suit them. There is no strong motive for hero or any other characters. Music and background are just okay. Screenplay failed in this movie. Felt like a student who was preparing for a very tough subjects exam while watching second half. Too many characters and too much logic to digest for a Prabhas movie. Jhansis role suddenly disappeared. Saptagiri was not used. Zombies scene was unnecessary. Twist revealing by Shafi was bad. Prabhas saved the movie even though he just walked and swinged multiple swords in the movie.

Movie is very good with very good concept with a simple screen play one scenario after another. But movie has missed soul, the take was similar to care of kancheraoalem but looks like it didn't work for this movie. Sampoirnesh habus comedy timing is missing in this movie, may be he tried to express seriousness. At least first few scenes he should have tried innocence with comedy timing. The elevation scenes should have more power to it, for example in the clear max after 2 persons come for support immediately while village is shown, instead after first person his father should have stepped in and few more. New actors did well. If compared with Tamil version of it it lost few points.

Upendra is a miscast, Sudha over the board action. Multiple villains in different areas like KGF, helicopter scene like KGF, Kid mom talk like KGF, set like KGF, Dhaka like unknown villain like KGF, Villains look funny. In the start of the film most notorious gangster gets changed by a slap, no words for that scene. When rowdys come to kill hero on a bike, they shot themselves in the back that was hilarious. Background story telling is like KGF but not effective. Songs are soo bad, not sure what's the need for item song as it has zero impact. Then again heroine father sentiment as KGF. Overall biggest comedy movie of the year.

Gunashekar narrated the story so well, how Rudhramadevi transitioned herself into a great warrior and a ruler in the disguise of a man. This part was particularly handled well otherwise the whole movie might have become a big disaster. And director added enough drama to the story so that audience won't get bored anywhere. Anushka, Raana, PrakashRaj,Suman did decent job. But Allu Arjun is the main attraction of the movie even though he is not the main character in the film. His slang, look, body presence were too perfect and will bring repeated audience to the theaters. Everyone should say big THANKS to Chiru for the voice over, his help is great booster for the film. Even though graphics are below par, the story lifted the film and once again proved the story is the main strength for a movie.

Of course if a movie is well received by audience and have the scenes and dialogs which can be much talked about..then you can expect a SPOOF of the movie..but 300(2) doesn't contain any of that. It is not even close to 300(1) or the Gerard Butler. Eva Green must be in complete delusion while accepting the movie, a talent which is hugely wasted. The power of villain-ism is completely lost which is heavily required for this kind of movies. Xerces looked like he has no control or power after 300(1). Director might have put some interest in choosing the co-stars who made the film look like 2nd grade movie. And Sullivan Stapleton suits the role of friend of a hero but not the hero himself. Positives: 1. Eva Green 2. 300-Part 1, which pulled the audience to the movie.

Negatives: 1. Sullivan Stapleton 2. Lack of story 3. Weak Villain

Finally, apart from the movie Sullivan Stapleton looked like he summoned to the beauty of Eva Green when he meets her in her ship which is not required as part of the movie.

Definitely worth for your money. Looking at the rating i was in a doubtful mind whether to go to the movie or not, but finally decided to go as I took off for the day from office. Director made sure that you will not get bored for a single minute during the movie run.

Plus points: 1. 3D effects are awesome. Mount Vesuvius eruption was shown superbly and ash combined with fire looked like real. 2. Emily Browing looks fresh and well suited for her role. 3. Finally Kiefer Sutherland got a good full length role in a movie. 4. Gladiator's fighting scenes are highlight for the movie.

Negatives: 1. Very less emotion quotient. 2. A famous hero might have attracted more audience to the theater and more ratings. 3. Few scenes are obvious and can be predicted. 4. Finally in India break was given in the middle of the fight scene in amphitheater which killed the momentum of the movie.
