कन्नप्पा

Despite big names like Prabhas and several cameo appearances, the film fails to impress. The choreography lacked impact, and the story narration felt disjointed with no emotional depth or standout moments. Cameos seemed forced and underutilized, adding little to the plot. Even Prabhas's role was not well-developed, missing the powerful presence he's known for. Weak presentation, poor pacing, and inconsistent visuals further hurt the experience. Overall, it was a disappointing watch, earning just 4 out of 10-saved only by the excitement of the cameo characters. It's better for a call to manchu family can stop acting in the movies and start the production to make better career in the industry.

Oh Kannappa - a film so ambitious, it tried to shoot for the stars... and tripped over its own script on the way out the door.

From the moment the movie opens with a slow-mo shot of our hero walking through CGI smoke that looked like expired incense, you just know you're in for a ride - not a good one, more like getting stuck on a rickety Ferris wheel operated by someone who just discovered Adobe After Effects.

The acting? Breathtaking. As in, it literally left us breathless trying not to laugh during every melodramatic pause. Our divine hero emotes like he's solving a tough math problem instead of receiving celestial visions. The villain? A growling man in eyeliner who seems to have escaped from a rejected Marvel audition.

The dialogues are written with the elegance of a 5th grader trying to be deep. Gems like "I will worship the God... with my soul... and my left eyeball" had the audience torn between awe and aneurysm.

The VFX budget clearly went into renting the latest version of PowerPoint. Mountains float awkwardly, divine auras flicker like dying tube lights, and Shiva himself appears to be made of leftover Thanos particles.

The background score? Imagine a temple bell, a spaceship launch, and a goat bleating - all at once. Inspirational, confusing, and migraine-inducing.

And let's not forget the climax, where Kannappa literally pokes his eye out for devotion - a powerful moment, unfortunately ruined by a slow-motion zoom so long, I aged 3 years watching it.

Honestly, Kannappa isn't just a movie. It's a test. A test of patience, faith, and your ability to keep a straight face while the sacred and the absurd battle it out on-screen.

Being clear I am a brahmin myself this movie was just a high end no storyline money grabber nothing less than housefull 5 , Storyline nothing just some fantasy copied , action scenes? Obviously unrealistic, cinematography? Disastrous u can clearly the wireworks , the actions weren't clear , random cuts, 0 continuity in panning , some of the scenes were straight out of other movies , the amy fight scene bahubali ... The prabhas h2h combat .... The prosecutor and so on... It was just another money grabber by using hinduism and religious sentiments..this is my personal review I don't have any hate towards any targeted personnel.

A great cast, a poor screenplay and a disastrous storyline is what brings Kanappa together.

The future generation of Manchu family (Vishnu's kuds) are introduced in the first 10 minutes. Sharat kumar, Mohanlal, Brahmanandam could have done better roles.

The casting is a big minus. Especially Akshay Kumar for Shiva, Vishnu for Thinnada

The direction was oppressed by the senior actors esp Mohan babu, when his character wins some sense until Prabhas/Rudra comes to the screen. Acting is surely an understatement.

The movie flatters boredom right from the start as the script lacked conviction. It was more a natural tour of New Zealand.

Srikalahasti is a legendary tale, they should have focused more on that. But when amateur directors are welcomed, this is what we get best.

You are given a platform to make a movie. You have a producer who will give you any amount of money, you got actors who will do exactly what you say. Then how did you failed this miserably. Dear Telugu directors and actors, Rajamouli alone cannot save your industry, you people have to up your game. Dont shove whatever you are cooking in the name of cinema to the audience. Be responsible. You are making a art. Dont just stick to one template for decades. Telugu cinama is lucky to get Oscar and Pan world reach but dont take it for granted. Please give me my money back not just tickets but also also for those expensive water and sandwiches.
