Performance wise Varun Tej has accomplished the challenge in front of him very elegantly and after the movie u doesnt feel national award winning performance of bobby simha has been ruined but the changes made and the commercial look pushes this movie from artistic and raw movie to routine commercial movie. Bobby simha character had its grey area and realistic in not criticizing the acting aspirants but here since the movie crown puller has some sort of market they have changed that realistic approach but still a nice. Music - 😍👌 became a fan of micky j meyer and waiting for more mass beats from him. Dailogues - Harris Jayraj best for this movie from direction, screenplay and dailogues.

After watching the trailer I was excited to watch it. But the movie has nothing in it. No story. Slow narration. Better watch the original version in Tamil if you are desperate to watch the film.

It's heartbreaking to see a expensive spoof of "jigarthanda"... Valmiki is a huge waste of many talents.. it applies to all the actors(varun,pooja,atharvaa&mrnalini) and technicians Unlike jigarthanda this movie doesn't carry any soul.

Not a Telugu speaker, but I loved it. The movie has it all. One can experience every emotion. It's a 10/10.

First half is full of violence. Do not go to this movie with Children or kids. Varun's performance is good. Person does all violent acts throughout his life and suddenly becomes a great guy. There is a limit to how much violence can be shown in movies. Showing violence as a great thing is not good.

Very matured action by Varun. Screenplay is good. Remix song is the highlight for the movie.

Great Acting and great variation from Varun Tej, Superb Remix song.

Pros: Varun's Transformation is at a new level @ Comedy- Satya and Brahmaji did a tremendous Job, ROFL @ BGM - Highlight @ Camera - Ayanaka Bose's work is extraordinary @ Retro Episode is totally Highlight of the entire movie - especially the "Yelluvochi Godaramma" @ We can feel all emotions through out the movie

Cons: NO - Because I don't compare it with JigarThanda.

If anyone is comparing with Tamil I can say.. forget the language Harish did wonderful job and entertained us . It's huge Block buster.

Havent seen the original fully .. nor do i understand telugu .. just watched the movie to kill time .. so glad i did .. varun tej is really awesome .. now thats how a real gangster would look like ... big thumbs up from me .. supriya pathak is and pooja hegde did their part really well ..

Well, it is a remake of Tamil superhit Jigarthanda. In that movie Bobby Simha did a remarkable job and Varun took it as a challenge. He did, not only justice to the role but did a distinct performance than Simha. Both are violent charecter but in their own way. Simhas flash back came with the vission other actor in his mind Vijay Sethupathi. But here Varun did another remarkable job of recreating that role. It is a fantastic Varun Tej performance and fun to watch. Not sure what the rating are so low by other viewers. I can see only one reason but I won't tell because it is all internal politics.
