Kannappa

Being clear I am a brahmin myself this movie was just a high end no storyline money grabber nothing less than housefull 5 , Storyline nothing just some fantasy copied , action scenes? Obviously unrealistic, cinematography? Disastrous u can clearly the wireworks , the actions weren't clear , random cuts, 0 continuity in panning , some of the scenes were straight out of other movies , the amy fight scene bahubali ... The prabhas h2h combat .... The prosecutor and so on... It was just another money grabber by using hinduism and religious sentiments..this is my personal review I don't have any hate towards any targeted personnel.

A great cast, a poor screenplay and a disastrous storyline is what brings Kanappa together.

The future generation of Manchu family (Vishnu's kuds) are introduced in the first 10 minutes. Sharat kumar, Mohanlal, Brahmanandam could have done better roles.

The casting is a big minus. Especially Akshay Kumar for Shiva, Vishnu for Thinnada

The direction was oppressed by the senior actors esp Mohan babu, when his character wins some sense until Prabhas/Rudra comes to the screen. Acting is surely an understatement.

The movie flatters boredom right from the start as the script lacked conviction. It was more a natural tour of New Zealand.

Srikalahasti is a legendary tale, they should have focused more on that. But when amateur directors are welcomed, this is what we get best.

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.

"KANNAPPA" (2025), a Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, attempts to portray the life of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva.

As someone unfamiliar with the legend of Kannappa, I found the film largely unsuccessful in bringing his story to life.

At 3 hours and 3 minutes, the movie is excessively long, but my issue isn't with its runtime-it's with the sluggish pacing, unnecessary vulgarity for a devotional film, forgettable dialogue, and underdeveloped characters.

While the story centers on Kannappa, it also tries to mimic the grandeur of Baahubali, with Kannappa and Nemali resembling Prabhas and Tamannaah's characters from that epic.

Even the villain feels like a recycled version of Baahubali's Kaalikey.

The star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal, Mukesh Rishi, and Prabhas, is impressive but underutilized. Most actors are sidelined or given lackluster roles.

The visual effects are also feel low quality and literally bad.

Prabhas shines in his scenes, but his entry comes only after two hours, by which point the film has already dragged. The first two hours feel bloated and could easily have been condensed into 40-50 minutes to maintain momentum.

Last 30 minutes are absolutely best but it could be way more better.

Ultimately, Kannappa fails as a family-friendly devotional or mythological film due to its inappropriate content and lackluster execution. I wouldn't recommend it for those seeking a meaningful cinematic experience.

Such a horrible screenplay if anyone values 3 hours pf valuable time refea8n from the movie . Story telling is at the lowest no proper BGM, cheap graphics . Hero has built body eating too much of meat but not investiled time to sharpen his acting skills. Expressions are horrible . Only saviour is 15 mins of prabhas. Better to watch it on OTT moving fast forward button.

I need my 3 hours of vaouable time back wasted my life trustong this horrible movie makers not worth watching....

Location is out of sync to movie, the primary focus is lost in story telling by director. Ecpressionless cast except prabhas.

Dont waste time.
