Guntur Kaaram

6.7/10

The movie starts of well the initial 20 minutes are promising but after that the movie falls a bit some jokes don't land and some characters felt completely useless especially Meenakshi choudhary. Even though there are negatives the movie somewhat worked for me the Mahesh Babu's comic timing is very good and the side characters such as vennela Kishore , Ajay did good job . Prakash raj character looks mediocre where we seen in many films . Sree Leela is also a typical masala film style heroine with less importance and only there for dance . Music especially bgm by thaman worked for me unlike majority public opinion. The major plus for the film is Mahesh Babu he pulled of the whole film with his charm but still this is the trivikram's one of the weakest films where his dialogues didn't create magic and there is always a class element goes undercurrent in his films which is missing in this film and trivikram's screenplay is not that engaging in this film overall it's a one time watch for me.

The storyline itself may seem a bit ludicrous, and unfortunately, it transforms into a cringe-worthy screenplay overloaded with commercial elements like comedy, sentiment, fights, songs, and the whole shebang. Enduring this film is akin to a self-inflicted torture.

Mahesh Babu gives it his all, attempting a fresh approach with his character and performance in comparison to his recent works. However, Ramya Krishnan's potential is sadly underutilized, leaving much to be desired.

Sree Leela delivers her usual dose of subpar acting but compensates with great dancing skills. The remaining cast, caught up in mundane roles, manages to scrape by with okay performances.

Production values pass muster, and the music is, well, music. However, the direction feels antiquated, and it's high time Guruji explores new avenues rather than sticking to this worn-out formula.

In all honesty, this film isn't worth the theater ticket, not even a glance on OTT platforms. Save yourself the trouble.

Honestly, it's not that bad what reviews are, certainly the first batch viewers may have different agenda. Trivikram is missing M S Narayana, Darmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam, we clearly see that void. It is out and out Mahesh Babu movies, full of mass characterization, intentionally he kept himself away from a social message, people got bored of social messages. Certainly don't look for dark stories like KGF, Salaar, not every movie and every viewer is expecting such kind of movies. Srileela justified her role, though not much scope. Prakash Raj gave a decent performance. Thaman music was okay. Overall timepass.

I really cant believe that movies like these exists. There is absolutely no content in the movie. It is pure 2 hour rubbish. The movie changes sequence so fast that its difficult to keep up. The only nice thing she can do is dance. Action scenes are un necessary. A fight every 5 mins just makes the movie so redundant. The movie is trying to display a very special bond that exists between a mother and a son but they have absolutely failed to do so. I dont feel bad neither for the mom nor the son. Such good actors but pure waste of talent. Old storyline with cringeworthy acting. Specially the actress. She is trying to act cute but just looks dumb.

First half was enjoyable because I decreased all my expectations after first review.

Otherwise the whole movie was not even 1% of my expectations.

Mahesh Babu was amazing the remaining cast was fun to match.

Looked like the whole movie was just made for timepass and second half was never written just directed randomly.

Mahesh Babu gave 101% to the movie where Trivikram made his 1%.

The song placement was complete mess which created interruptions in a movie which itself is a big interruption.

The story itself is a big blunder felt mashup of all the mother son sentimental movies.

And the first half completely gave Ala Vaikuntapuramlo vibes even the characters and their behaviour.

The backstory of the separation was itself a big joke and the movie had no point before proper foundation.

The climax was just cringe af.

Thaman used all the remaining OST of his old movies in this movie especially Ala Vaikuntapuramlo.

The mother son REUNION where you expect emotional breakdown felt a cringe romance between mother and son.

GIVE IT A TRY FOR FIRST HALF.
