Guntur Kaaram

Honestly, it's not that bad what reviews are, certainly the first batch viewers may have different agenda. Trivikram is missing M S Narayana, Darmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam, we clearly see that void. It is out and out Mahesh Babu movies, full of mass characterization, intentionally he kept himself away from a social message, people got bored of social messages. Certainly don't look for dark stories like KGF, Salaar, not every movie and every viewer is expecting such kind of movies. Srileela justified her role, though not much scope. Prakash Raj gave a decent performance. Thaman music was okay. Overall timepass.

This movie seems to be a super star Mahesh Babu New vintage version by his looks and is mannerism!! And rest of the film like was not as exciting like Ala vaikuntapuram loo flim like his previous film of director trivikram sir !! Usually trivikram sir has unique talent by conveying the core content plot by his magic presence!!! But in this film I feel nothing. It's seems like traveling guntur to Hyderabad by via car every day in the movie by hero !! 😅😅🤣!! Joke's appart, it was just a simple booring film including unnecessary characters!! And having just simple and predictable ending 😏😏😏!! The message oriented film will be good to the Mahesh Babu sir better than this kind of film scripts!! Sorry to say this but as a fan of Mahesh Babu since from pokiri film 😔😔!!

First half was enjoyable because I decreased all my expectations after first review.

Otherwise the whole movie was not even 1% of my expectations.

Mahesh Babu was amazing the remaining cast was fun to match.

Looked like the whole movie was just made for timepass and second half was never written just directed randomly.

Mahesh Babu gave 101% to the movie where Trivikram made his 1%.

The song placement was complete mess which created interruptions in a movie which itself is a big interruption.

The story itself is a big blunder felt mashup of all the mother son sentimental movies.

And the first half completely gave Ala Vaikuntapuramlo vibes even the characters and their behaviour.

The backstory of the separation was itself a big joke and the movie had no point before proper foundation.

The climax was just cringe af.

Thaman used all the remaining OST of his old movies in this movie especially Ala Vaikuntapuramlo.

The mother son REUNION where you expect emotional breakdown felt a cringe romance between mother and son.

GIVE IT A TRY FOR FIRST HALF.

I'm sure you've already read a ton of reviews about why not to watch the movie so far but I'll give you one reason to watch it: Mahesh Babu.

Time and time again, for over the past decade, he's been trolled over his dances, expressions, how all his movies only focus on social messages, and etc. In this movie, he SHINED. Even though the screenplay and story was severely underwhelming, Mahesh Babu singlehandedly saved this movie. By the way, don't get me wrong, the cast did really good acting, but a lot of the characters were severely underutilized and weren't given proper limelight in the script.

In this movie, you will see a Mahesh Babu in full-form in likes we haven't seen since Dookudu and Businessman. From his comedy timing, to silencing all the trolls with dances and really young, healthy looks, he really made the movie a worth watch.

The movie could've been better in numerous aspects such as script (I am a Trivikram fan and I know how much better a script he can make, he just didn't write a script that was at his range this time), but it completely meets and even exceeds expectations in the promise it makes that this is an out-and-out SUPER STAR MAHESH BABU FILM. If you are a fan of his or are curious about the way he was presented in this film, I definitely recommend watching this movie.

8 Stars/10. With so much negative reviews out there, I'm giving it an 8/10 because of the respect for Mahesh Babu Garu, for the 110% effort he put towards this movie, and in appreciation for the rest of the cast who even though didn't get as much a role as they should've, still aced their roles while they could.

Finally, to Guruji and Thaman: You can and will make better projects like this in the future, use this film as a lesson for how to improve in the future.

"Guntur Kaaram" can be classified as a formulaic commercial family entertainer. While the film avoids gratuitous violence commonly found in today's big star movies, it suffers from outdated sequences and a lack of emotional depth. There is no humor either. The film largely hinges on Mahesh Babu's star power and his performance.

Even the climax makes no impact when leaving the theater. But despite all this, there is only one positive factor, and that is Mahesh with his free-flowing ease. The dialogues written for him work, even though intermittently. The mass song that comes in the second half is fantastic and raises the energy. Overall, Guntur Kaaram can be watched once with low expectations during the festive season, without expecting much originality, action, or emotions, other than Mahesh's energy.
