This movie created much hype before it's release due to director Koratala siva in which he gained positive reviews from his last movie srimanthudu which is a very big hit and ntr from his last movie NKP,but this movie some how disappointed critics due to its lack of actress characterization,actress screen presence,routine story backdrop,weak story line but the concept of this movie is different like directors last movie,It has theme of controlling pollution and a social awareness to save trees ,i like that idea and ntr's acting is really extraordinary he even admitted that he changed his attitude,acting style etc in interviews prior to the release of movie ..Mohan lal ,Samantha and nithya menon acted very well,Music from DSP is a big plus point and item song 'pakka local' of kajal aggarwal is main attraction in second half and so many feels that climax is some how disappointed..but atlast ntr and siva achieved a hit

First of all, I want to say I like the storytelling style of Koratala Siva and I like his previous films. Mirchi was a good action movie (starring Prabhas) and Srimanthudu was also not a bad movie. The last one is not great but above the average. After these two commercially successful movies he came to us with Janatha Garage. This is one of the most anticipated movies in this year in Telugu cinema. Junior NTR has a good record in this year. His previous release "Nannaku Prematho" was a critically acclaimed movie and also a hit in Telugu box office. So for this movie we were so excited and were eagerly waiting for this.

As one of the most anticipated movies, I am not telling this is a bad movie. The first half is a little bit slower and needed more catchy scenes. Slow paced tone of the first half may be will bore you. But Junior NTR's powerful screen presence and very eminent dialogues bend you with the story. After the interval, you will experience the full pace and the suspense which will drive you to the end. I am not revealing the story but there is a hidden story which will unlock in the second half. Engaging but not new. Common suspense and thrill with the story and sometimes it is predictable.

Performance wise Junior NTR is the heart of this film and Mohanlal also has done a good job. But excellent acting and screen presence of NTR shadowed all other's performance. The direction of the movie is very average and nothing new. Music is average and not up to the mark. Script and screenplay are choppy and sometimes predictable and needed more shape of the story. Editing is not so good and for this sometimes the scenes continuation missed the clarification and it is like the scenes are jumped and overlapped.

Maybe it will be a record breaking opening at the box office and I assume this will be one of the biggest hits in this year but it could have been better and would be a gem if the director should be concentrated those things which I mentioned above.

Janatha Garage is not your regular popcorn entertainer which Tollywood churns out every week. It is a character-driven film where the onus is on serious emotions. Though NTR performs brilliantly, Mohan Lal gets a prominent role and this might not go well with NTR's fans. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is a huge plus as all the songs have been composed quite well. Devi's background score in the second half elevates the proceedings to a decent level. Production values of the film are pretty good. Camera work is superb as Hyderabad and Mumbai have been showcased in a wonderful light. Dialogues written by Koratala Shiva are meaningful. Editing is below average as the film needs to be trimmed by at least 15 minutes. Coming to the director Koratala Shiva, he has done just an okay job with the film. Though his thought is good, he takes too much time to establish the story as the film catches steam only after the first half. He makes things predictable and ends the film on a simple note.The film will appeal to the general audience more than the fans. Finally, if you ignore the predictable story line, you may give this film a shot.
