It's been a while some MB did something else other than these "save the village/state/family movies". This is yet another in the same genre. I expected there to be something worth watching. Unfortunately, there's none. The comedy is not funny, the fights are as usual. The 'hero save the family' story is historic. The songs are neither good nor catchy. The background score is repetitive.

I like Mahesh Babu and all but man, he roles are getting monotonous lately. He has played this, the perfect guy kind of character like a million times. Doesn't he get tired of playing the same thing over and over again, same with Prakesh Raj, I feel like I've seen him play the villian a gazillion times and done it better before.

First off, the movie is super long and it doesn't have to be. The train scenes are the most unnecessary, unfunny, cringey scenes I've seen in a long time. It ran for almost 40 minutes, and nothing really happens that move the plot forward. You could take out the scenes and the movie will be as it is. The lead female, that is, if you can call her role "lead", is moronic and juvenile. She set eyes on the main character and then she literally spent the entire time looking for his attention and chasing him all over the place even though he adamantly told her he wasn't interested in her. I find it to be insulting as the character serves no purpose other than eye candy.

Our main character is your typical telegu main character who is perfect in everything he does; he beats up a hundred goons without breaking a sweat; he threatens and beats up police officers and lawyers and talked to minister as he like with no further consequences, not only is it unrealistic but also cartoonish and unconvincing. The villian is also the typical corrupt politician, he has power, money and everything but can't take out one guy, I mean doesn't guns exist?, is this the middle age where everyone uses sword? Just shoot him for God's sake. Haha.

The music is meh, but the background score is good tho at times distracting. I like the professor, 'cause her character is much more developed. The acting is good from the leads but they've done the roles many times so that's not surprising. The use of comedy is predictable and the jokes mostly didn't land.

The whole message about patriotism and the soldier's life and all wasn't that glamorous and could have been told better. I think it was told better in Akshay Kumar's Holiday.

STORY: Ajay Krishna (Mahesh Babu) is an orphan and a soldier serving at Kashmir. Professor Bharathi (Vijayashanthi) is a righteous professor and single mother of three, with one son already lost during service. How Ajay steps up when she's in trouble forms the crux of the story.

REVIEW: POSITIVES: The film was well balanced work some light humor and some cheeky action scene which are the goosebumps moments for the fans..Mahesh babu was perfectly Casted add major Ajay Krishna.. His comical timing was stupendous..Female lead Rashmika Madanna can be seen some where in the film and there is no importance for her role throughout the film.. Veteran actress Vijayshanti made a solid comeback with this film.. Hey role makes the film more grippy and interesting.. There is nothing more to say about the first half..there is no plot movement.. Just some comedy and some action scenes could make the fans move crazy over superstar.. Coming to the second half.. Into of the villian and warning scenes could be viewed.. The ending was okay..we can't expect a mind boggling ending from our Director.. Mind block song was very good and it could be a wake up call for the audience.. The climax was enjoyable..

NEGATIVES: The director of the film wastes much time in the train sequence and the misuse of the female lead..eating much time in developing characters.. Makes u drowsy if you are not a fan of superstar.. Second half was time consuming where the hero tries to cope some sense in the villian mind..usual comedy in serious scenes will create discomfort..

OVERALL VERDICT.. The film can be tried. And it certified as a festival for hard core superstar Mahesh Babu fans..!

RATING: 2.25/5

Honest review, 15% comedy 10% Flying fights 5% Showoff bakwas 70% waste of time

An another routine flick which has nothing new to watch it,avg songs,forceful comedy,loudy bgm,mixed plots made this movie awful.

For Mahesh its an another cakewalk role which has nothing to do with it. After a decade Vijay Shanthi garu made comeback,i liked her screen presence she did justice for the role,heroine was ok with few sparkles in her episodes.

I liked the army touch which they showed about whats the army and how they strive hard to secure the borders.

Conclusion - Its an one tym watch with few sparkles.
