Arjun Reddy

It's such a bloody waste of time. The actors should jump in the river.

Met expectations and was in line with the plot which trailer conveyed. Performance of VSD as Arjun Reddy was amazing as a crazy lover boy with anger management issues... the characters were well written and convincing performance from the others...Shiva, Gautam, Dean, Preeti, her Dad. Arjun's Dad, Granny, Preeti's Mom n Sister were not convincing compared to others. Music score was good...3 songs registered in mind and the background score was too good at certain portions of the film. Screenplay was captivating...St.Mary's college, Royal Enfield, the beach house, Alcohol, Preeti. Dialogues were very enjoyable and had a free flow mostly...comic bits were natural. No vulgarity and no obscenity. The portrayal of emotions for the lady love by the protagonist and the attention to details was very impressive. A thoroughly researched effort by the writer. Medicos and their fraternity have a film in their kitty and have a score of 1: n (engineering). "A" rating is justified keeping our societal norms in mind but for millenials it's acceptable in general. Congrats to the entire team!!! VSD has evolved from YvdSubr to Pellichoopulu to #ArjunReddy and is become a promising actor in the Telugu film industry. The climax was all Happy Endings....which could have been different....an abstract ending would have been much more apt...for all those who cant talk good about this flick - will sign off saying...Em matladuthunnav raaa... *#£

Kudos ! To the entire team, especially to the director Sandeep Sir, getting all the emotions and feelings aptly. The presentation of the characters are very bold as they are refined products as to be what they are. Grilled each and every character to be yourself. The message is very clear be yourself.Thank You so much sir for a very good film.

It has been a refreshing experience watching this movie. The romance, characterization is at its raw best. I am glad that the director and his team did not do anything to dial it down. The performances have been great. We all know the story, but it has not been done before in Telugu cinema. In some ways, this can be called modern Devdas with realistic dialogue.

Without spoiling; the story is about a young MBBS student with anger management issues falling in love. Arjun Reddy's character is deeply flawed. I must appreciate the director and crew steering away from the Telugu movie way of showing the lead character in a perfect light. I am glad the character is flawed. There are several instances in this 186 minute movie that shows us the flawed side of our hero. It works out for the story telling. Also in this tale, we see characters yelling swear words when under stress or anger; which does not happen in other flicks.

The physical romance couldn't be more appropriate. It's is present where necessary and only promotes story telling and emotions. Also, the story is also about a bunch of characters constantly caring and supporting Arjun Reddy despite his strong requirement for sole confinement. The sick kick friend is more than a side kick shows real spine in tense moments, also providing subtle comedy in the various situations.

The movie does not commit to one message. The grandma says "a person who wants to suffer must be left alone and that person will soon get back on his feet"; But almost all characters related to the hero (Brother, friends) always keep visiting Arjun despite Arjun yelling them to go away. It was the supporting friends and family that bring back a almost lost soul back. When Arjun loses everything, left with no money and thrown on the road; it's the brother and father who spend their money to send Arjun to exotic countries to help him get over the girl.

The movie doesn't seem 3 hour long, but definitely feels lengthy, often straining the eyes. Preethi's character is underdeveloped, but she did a decent job at that. The heroin side track was unnecessary and does not contribute much.

Overall, this is a refreshing change in Tollywood and I can see a lot of directors experimenting by not following the Telugu formulaic trend in the upcoming years.

Brilliant direction with organically written dialogues and an excellent cast. What stands out most in this film when compared to other Telugu films is the lack of hero worship, a story that lies close to reality and the portrayal of love in its pure form. Vijay uplifted the film to an entirely different level, giving it the kind of craze that it has. Radhan's music has done wonderfully with the frames and the scenes. Films like this would directly affect the Indian youth. The dialogues and the direction has made it clear that it is against the idea of objectifying women like most Telugu movies do with their item songs and unrealistic love stories which barely involve interaction on-screen. The protagonist has admirable qualities despite the fact that he has anger management issues and is, for a particular period, addicted to drinking.

True love is timeless and tireless. No reason is strong enough for it to break, and this film showed us just that.
