Dookudu

Mahesh Babu role and his action is highlight in the film. He excelled both in action and emotional scenes. His comedy timing is perfect and over shadowed big comedians in the movie. The variation he showed in body language between Police officer and MLA is commendable. Overall, it is an energetic performance by Mahesh Babu much to the delight of his fans.

Samanta has nothing to do much except play the role of Mahesh Babu love interest. She is pretty and looked glamorous in songs. Parvathi Melton item song is unimpressive.

Prakash Raj is at his usual best. This role is one among many roles he played. Sonu Sood as underworld don did justice to his selection. Kota, Sayaji Shindey and Supreeth performance is OK.

Real scene stealers are Brahmanandam in Padma Sri role and MS Narayana in wanna be hero Venu role. Their performance is highlight in the movie.

Nasser as boss to Mahesh Babu has less important role. Suman and Naga Babu restricted to couple of scenes in Police chiefs role. Vennela Kishore, Ravi Prakash and Manoj performed well as Mahesh colleagues. Tanikella Bharani, Chandra Mohan, Shiva Reddy, Dharmavarapu Subrahamanyam and many more filled the screen.

watch this movie if u: 1.watch movies for entertainment rather than searching logic.. 2.like srinu vytla's brand of comedy.. 3.want to be left in splits by brahmi n MS 4.like mahesh's new diction 5.loiked the audio as songs are visually good but for choreography..

on the whole, this movie is gr8 to watch for some rib tickling comedy and light hearted romance in the first half.. story is clichéd and predictable but i guarantee u that u ll enjoy the film.. it would have been better if the film was a little shorter,, samantha should have been given a longer screen time... prakash raj was okay.. suman's character is a waste of time.. nevertheless,go watch it folks

Strengths: Mahesh Babu, Prakash Raj and MS Narayana Comedy. Weakness: Artificial development of Scenes, Songs and Predictable/routine screenplay of Sreenu.

Mahesh did a spectacular job as always, but this is not his kind of movie for sure. It's more like Sreenu vytla's movie, however this time it appears to be more like an action oriented movie than a family entertainer. May be presence of Mahesh made the difference i guess. Still I feel the MAGIC is not there in the film to stand a winner. Dialogues are really good. The pace of the film and screenplay really don't give you a chance to think whether it is really possible what Hero did to save his Father. Film is different for Mahesh though not up to his standards.

This is movie is entirely based on comedy n actor Mahesh's performance.

Story: Not an unpredictable one, not delicious as director Sreenu- Vaytla's creation but dialogues n comedy timing are good.

Pros: Mahesh,Prakash raj,Brahmanandam,M.S.Narayana,Sonusood & Nazer performances. Dir,screenplay Sreenu Vytla,Guhan cinematography,Taman background score n finally female lead Samantha.

Cons: Second half of the movie works slowly as compared to that of first half. Samantha not used properly when they returned from Istanbul in the movie. Mahesh character it becomes he's the only person in the entire movie. Villain characterization not impressive.

Verdict: An entertainment based film hope you'll enjoy.

We guessed it right. Dookudu is really a big leap in Mahesh brand entertainment. There is, delightfully, a bonus. The film is a big leap in Vytla brand entertainment as well. To put it in a nutshell, this awesome film has got everything which you might have expected to see in Khaleja (2010) but did not find in it. Dookudu has got everything - comedy, action, romance. On the top of it, there is an intelligent screenplay that coalesces adrenaline punches with comic drama and sentiment. And when the sentiment involves a superstar like Mahesh Babu and an ace like Prakash Raj, who strike a perfect chemistry on screen, you cannot ask for more. It would be far-fetched to even suggest that Dookudu is a classic, as the hero had wanted it to be, but it is indubitably a must-watch film.

Thankfully, the drama and action are not routine. They are laced with rib-tickling comedy and touching sentimentality. Vaitla blends all the commercial ingredients in his inimitable style and makes Dookudu an enjoyable fare for all and how?

Well, here it is how he does it. Much like Dhee, Ready and King, this film too sees the the hero making everyone live in a fool's paradise: things go as the hero wants them. Nayak marvels at old Telugu classics and Ghantasala's rendition of the Gita; Brahmanandam, who believes that he is part of a reality show (this one, believe us, is top class), has you in splits as he is fooled around without a respite; MS Narayana's spoofing of Magadheera and Simha is superb; Prime Minister NTR, speaking on the ramparts of Red Fort in chaste Telugu, promises to bring black money back; Master Bharath participates in multi-crore land dealings and brings smiles. Even a get-to-gether of Mahesh, Samantha's families becomes an occasion for comedy of lies and bakras. Episodic treatment keeps your interest alive. Every murder comes with a touch of humour. Welcome to the world of Srinu Vaitla.

As for the performances, Mahesh delivers one of his career bests. He can now safely claim, without inviting ridicule, that Dookudu is a slap on the face of those who declared that he is not good at comedy. He shows verve and energy in action scenes. He is convincing in the khaddar get-up. He is remarkable at spouting one-liners as the super-efficient cop. He is trigger-happy, but is immediately funny in taking digs at his stupid senior Nasser.

All comedians and character artists do justice to their roles. On the flip side, however, Samantha is not seen much in the second half. But when she sizzles on the screen in Itu Raye number, you swoon.

Tehnicially, it is proof what a Digital Intermediate finish can make a film look like. It is visually rich.

Post Script: Babu land aithe opposition ku bande, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam says to a frightened Sonu Sood. Prince proves he is Numero Uno. The fight for top slot is over. Cool.
