    "Well executed film with good environmental message added to it. Mohanlal's and Jr.NTR's performance was good and direction was outstanding along with the powerful script"

    Positives- 1.) Direction and script 2.)Mohanlal and Jr.NTR 3.)Cinematography 4.)Action choreography 5.)Good environmental message 6.) Powerful Bg score 7.)Edits 8.)The emotions in the film is carried all along the second half properly without any flaws.

    9.)Powerful Dialogues Negatives- 1.)Climax- It ended in a clichéd style.

    2.)Villains- They weren't that scary and they all looked dumb and not powerful for a good action movie.

    3.)Cliched scenes mixed in first half and second half.

    Is it a must watch? May not come as a must watch for those who are looking for a story driven movies. If your a action movie's fan or family drama emotional movies fan then this movie will work out for you. Otherwise its a good watch which may not disappoint you if your going with high expectations.

    Overall- Its a well executed movie with Mass masala and good message for our society.

    My rating- 3.7/5 (Very good emotional action drama) Fore more reviews on all language movies go to- Ridinbal movie reviews

    A decent watch

    Jr. NTR delivered a commanding and restrained performance, deviating from his typical action-hero image. He portrays a nature-loving environmental activist with depth and emotional gravitas. His screen presence, particularly in intense and emotional scenes, received widespread praise. He balanced the action sequences with more subtle emotional moments, showing versatility. Mohanlal, the Malayalam cinema legend, brought an air of dignity and power to his role as the head of the Janatha Garage. His understated performance elevated the film, and his natural acting style added authenticity to his character. His combination of quiet authority and fatherly warmth made him a standout. The chemistry between Mohanlal and Jr. NTR was a highlight. Nithya Menen, though in a limited role, delivered a solid performance. Her portrayal of a strong, independent woman added depth to the film. Despite not having a very lengthy screen presence, she brought freshness and grace to the narrative. Samantha's role was primarily as the romantic interest, and while she did her best with the part, it didn't allow her to showcase her full acting range. Nevertheless, she shared good on-screen chemistry with Jr. NTR and delivered in the emotional scenes. Jr. NTR's matured portrayal and Mohanlal's towering presence were the film's backbone. Nithya Menen and Samantha did well with their respective roles, though the narrative leaned heavily on the male characters. While the supporting cast played their parts convincingly, it was the lead actors that truly shone.

    Emotional action drama

    Janatha Garage is not your regular popcorn entertainer which Tollywood churns out every week. It is a character-driven film where the onus is on serious emotions. Though NTR performs brilliantly, Mohan Lal gets a prominent role and this might not go well with NTR's fans. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is a huge plus as all the songs have been composed quite well. Devi's background score in the second half elevates the proceedings to a decent level. Production values of the film are pretty good. Camera work is superb as Hyderabad and Mumbai have been showcased in a wonderful light. Dialogues written by Koratala Shiva are meaningful. Editing is below average as the film needs to be trimmed by at least 15 minutes. Coming to the director Koratala Shiva, he has done just an okay job with the film. Though his thought is good, he takes too much time to establish the story as the film catches steam only after the first half. He makes things predictable and ends the film on a simple note.The film will appeal to the general audience more than the fans. Finally, if you ignore the predictable story line, you may give this film a shot.
