Arjun Reddy

Met expectations and was in line with the plot which trailer conveyed. Performance of VSD as Arjun Reddy was amazing as a crazy lover boy with anger management issues... the characters were well written and convincing performance from the others...Shiva, Gautam, Dean, Preeti, her Dad. Arjun's Dad, Granny, Preeti's Mom n Sister were not convincing compared to others. Music score was good...3 songs registered in mind and the background score was too good at certain portions of the film. Screenplay was captivating...St.Mary's college, Royal Enfield, the beach house, Alcohol, Preeti. Dialogues were very enjoyable and had a free flow mostly...comic bits were natural. No vulgarity and no obscenity. The portrayal of emotions for the lady love by the protagonist and the attention to details was very impressive. A thoroughly researched effort by the writer. Medicos and their fraternity have a film in their kitty and have a score of 1: n (engineering). "A" rating is justified keeping our societal norms in mind but for millenials it's acceptable in general. Congrats to the entire team!!! VSD has evolved from YvdSubr to Pellichoopulu to #ArjunReddy and is become a promising actor in the Telugu film industry. The climax was all Happy Endings....which could have been different....an abstract ending would have been much more apt...for all those who cant talk good about this flick - will sign off saying...Em matladuthunnav raaa... *#£

Impressed after seeing this movies last night. I congratulate Debut director Sandeep choosing such the bold subject and the suitable artists. Another impressive thing is that there are no star kids acted in this movie, there are no star producers produced this movie. The story and narration is realistic and natural. Vijay Devarakonda mesmerized with his acting skills, body language and attitude shown as Arjun Reddy character, Congratulations and this is an award winning performance and your hard work. Background score of this movies is hilarious with respect to the screen play. Expecting more and more this kind of movies in Tollywood.

Disclaimer: Not for telugu movie lovers who want 4 songs, 3 fights, couple of high budget sequences and 1 freaking mega family hero.

This movie is an awesome mirror to how the present generation in India is. The story line, screenplay and the BGM are top notch.

Movie starts off with the main character looking shoddy (like a modern day devadas) and his only intention is to flirt, f*** and finish off. it is only when you slowly slip into the movie that you realize that either you or one of your friends from college is of the same type. Anger management is the main theme of the movie and the director intelligently shows the difference in mindset of the character per and post falling in love.

The supporting actors are like the friends of ours who are like shoulders to cry on or sit accordingly

Got to give credits to the Director for running the movie for full 3 hours without the distracting love duets/mass songs ( saved 25 mins of his time to convey the story better)

The subject line is raw and to the point with the plot revolving only around the hero. At no point one feels bored (unless someone doesn't like the plot all together).

BGM by the music director is amazing. it goes slowly and smoothly with the mood of the movie

Main let down would be the climax: which looked hurried and commercialized for the movie buffs

This movie glorifies drinks, drugs and an aggressive angry young man. This movie doesn't have any sense and in my opinion it's a very average movie like a country movie where locals are portrayed as big hero who drinks and does throw tantrums but around in a modern look. I hate this movie being rated too high for nothing.

It has been a refreshing experience watching this movie. The romance, characterization is at its raw best. I am glad that the director and his team did not do anything to dial it down. The performances have been great. We all know the story, but it has not been done before in Telugu cinema. In some ways, this can be called modern Devdas with realistic dialogue.

Without spoiling; the story is about a young MBBS student with anger management issues falling in love. Arjun Reddy's character is deeply flawed. I must appreciate the director and crew steering away from the Telugu movie way of showing the lead character in a perfect light. I am glad the character is flawed. There are several instances in this 186 minute movie that shows us the flawed side of our hero. It works out for the story telling. Also in this tale, we see characters yelling swear words when under stress or anger; which does not happen in other flicks.

The physical romance couldn't be more appropriate. It's is present where necessary and only promotes story telling and emotions. Also, the story is also about a bunch of characters constantly caring and supporting Arjun Reddy despite his strong requirement for sole confinement. The sick kick friend is more than a side kick shows real spine in tense moments, also providing subtle comedy in the various situations.

The movie does not commit to one message. The grandma says "a person who wants to suffer must be left alone and that person will soon get back on his feet"; But almost all characters related to the hero (Brother, friends) always keep visiting Arjun despite Arjun yelling them to go away. It was the supporting friends and family that bring back a almost lost soul back. When Arjun loses everything, left with no money and thrown on the road; it's the brother and father who spend their money to send Arjun to exotic countries to help him get over the girl.

The movie doesn't seem 3 hour long, but definitely feels lengthy, often straining the eyes. Preethi's character is underdeveloped, but she did a decent job at that. The heroin side track was unnecessary and does not contribute much.

Overall, this is a refreshing change in Tollywood and I can see a lot of directors experimenting by not following the Telugu formulaic trend in the upcoming years.
