Athidhi

This movie has been based on a few lines of script stretched into three freaking whole hours of useless boring crap. Had it not been for Mahesh I would not have bothered to watch it to the end.

Btw, Mahesh Babu looks horrible with his new hairstyle or whatever. I guess they tried to bring out a raw look to him which failed.

Most of the characters in the film lack true reason. Again, this shows poor script at hand.

Comedy, involving Brahmanandam and Sunil cannot be called so, since they don't even remotely tickle your funny bone.

Its obvious throughout that the people behind the movie tried a mix of Pokiri and Athadu. We even see the same Pokiri villain in a ridiculous avatar. Added to that is a large pool of actors from bollywood, which includes the heroine. I gave this movie 3 only because of the excellent cinematography, and the songs (video+audio)

Watch it only if you are an ardent Mahesh Babu fan

People of TFI don't admit that their movies are based on Hollywood scripts

it's just badly implemented remake of the usual suspects. The name kaiser itself is from that movie

kaiser soze ....

Manesh was looking gorgeous in this movie, but unfortunately it was a bit lame. I found the plot a little hard to catch on to, but it had some interesting twists. It was fast paced but I thought it was more exaggerated than the usual Telugu films - Telugu movies are already exaggerated (especially the fights), but this one was a little overboard, the hero had both too much intelligence and too much strength. And one thing I hate seeing in movies is then endings in which either the hero or the heroine (or in this case, both) is (are) badly injured but the couple starts to walk somewhere like their love is really enough to totally heal them physically. Kaizer mentioned that Amrita is about to die and she really looked like it, but then all of sudden she was fine when the story ended. That was the last drop of exaggeration for me.

As for the love story, it was a nice one. Amrita and Manesh looked sweet together. The songs were enjoyable.

But I wish I would have picked another movie instead of this one. Watch it at your own risk. You might feel your time was wasted.
