    Not a great movie.

    Not worth👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. 99% of the audience are Prabhas fans and that 20 mins of Prabhas screen presence is good other than that nothing great. Not a great writing, direction and screen play. The budget they put to make this movie is not justified at all. First half of the movie is not even worth 5 mins. Last 20mins of the movie is okay

    Wait for OTT if you really want to watch.

    Director-1.5/5 BGM-2/5 Screenplay-1/5 Prabhas as Rudra-3.5/5 Mohan babu acting-3/5 Akshay kumar-3/5 Other actors-2/5 Vishnu-1/5

    Story-1/5 better to watch the Original Bhakta Kannapa movie.

    Big budget movie but lacks in every aspects.

    for managing to be both a mythological epic and an accidental comed

    Oh Kannappa - a film so ambitious, it tried to shoot for the stars... and tripped over its own script on the way out the door.

    From the moment the movie opens with a slow-mo shot of our hero walking through CGI smoke that looked like expired incense, you just know you're in for a ride - not a good one, more like getting stuck on a rickety Ferris wheel operated by someone who just discovered Adobe After Effects.

    The acting? Breathtaking. As in, it literally left us breathless trying not to laugh during every melodramatic pause. Our divine hero emotes like he's solving a tough math problem instead of receiving celestial visions. The villain? A growling man in eyeliner who seems to have escaped from a rejected Marvel audition.

    The dialogues are written with the elegance of a 5th grader trying to be deep. Gems like "I will worship the God... with my soul... and my left eyeball" had the audience torn between awe and aneurysm.

    The VFX budget clearly went into renting the latest version of PowerPoint. Mountains float awkwardly, divine auras flicker like dying tube lights, and Shiva himself appears to be made of leftover Thanos particles.

    The background score? Imagine a temple bell, a spaceship launch, and a goat bleating - all at once. Inspirational, confusing, and migraine-inducing.

    And let's not forget the climax, where Kannappa literally pokes his eye out for devotion - a powerful moment, unfortunately ruined by a slow-motion zoom so long, I aged 3 years watching it.

    Honestly, Kannappa isn't just a movie. It's a test. A test of patience, faith, and your ability to keep a straight face while the sacred and the absurd battle it out on-screen.

    90mm ROD baiya

    Despite big names like Prabhas and several cameo appearances, the film fails to impress. The choreography lacked impact, and the story narration felt disjointed with no emotional depth or standout moments. Cameos seemed forced and underutilized, adding little to the plot. Even Prabhas's role was not well-developed, missing the powerful presence he's known for. Weak presentation, poor pacing, and inconsistent visuals further hurt the experience. Overall, it was a disappointing watch, earning just 4 out of 10-saved only by the excitement of the cameo characters. It's better for a call to manchu family can stop acting in the movies and start the production to make better career in the industry.

    Yo, the hell is this movie

    You are given a platform to make a movie. You have a producer who will give you any amount of money, you got actors who will do exactly what you say. Then how did you failed this miserably. Dear Telugu directors and actors, Rajamouli alone cannot save your industry, you people have to up your game. Dont shove whatever you are cooking in the name of cinema to the audience. Be responsible. You are making a art. Dont just stick to one template for decades. Telugu cinama is lucky to get Oscar and Pan world reach but dont take it for granted. Please give me my money back not just tickets but also also for those expensive water and sandwiches.

    Honest Opinion

    This movie is great-like, unbelievably great. You'll totally get it once you watch it... or maybe you won't. We already know the story, but don't worry-they've managed to throw in some "surprises" that'll leave you shocked...

    The screenplay? Oh, it's full of mind-blowing stuff-so much that your brain might just shut down to protect itself. Some scenes really make you wonder what the writers were thinking-or smoking.

    The locations and costumes? Out of this world! Literally, like someone hit random on a Pinterest mood board. And the actors? They fit into their roles so perfectly... like a fork in a bowl of soup.

    Manchu Vishnu in the lead? Absolutely fantastic. Truly a performance for the ages. Oscars, beware.

    Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva isn't silly at all, no matter what people say. It's perfect... in some alternate universe. Kajal is cute and sexy.

    Everyone else did okay-except Prabhas. Poor guy looks completely lost, and next to Manchu Vishnu (the star of the decade), he just fades into the background. Maybe they should've gone for someone more famous.

    The last 40 minutes? An experience, no doubt. You'll either laugh, cry, or leave.

    So yes, go watch it. Especially if you enjoy dark humor... or just want to test your emotional strength. God bless you and good luck.
