Featured reviews
Movie is very lengthy first of all and the music is very disturbing not at all matched with movie. Elevetions not worked. Director maybe inspired by KGF, he wants to recreate this like kgf but not worked. Raviteja in some looks he doesn't match except he did a great job. Biggest minus is music. I think anupam kher sir may not be included for this type of role, there is big scenes for him. Najar role will remember you in some movies of Telugu. Nupor sanon is did her best in her short role but the way director ended her role is not appropriate.lot of scenes are waste in screen time. Totally movie is a directors big flaw and music directors noise that make audience irritating.
Movie is weak, poor storytelling. No thorough research on lives of tribal people of Stuartpuram. How British restricted them to go to forest, used them as forced labour in mining and construction activities. How missionaries converted them for few sack of rice. Trust me no mention at all. Only focus on one character, how he reached inside PM office. Local MLA and police were only villain. 4 stars only and only for Ravi Teja. Rest like usual south cinema. Girls chasing after hero, few sidekicks praising their hero. Few unbelievable and unreasonable villains. One man kicking ass of 100s of people. Also, our hero in this movie is owner of multiple brothrals, and talks dirty with random girls on streets and trains. I just don't know how this movie was UA. Please don't take children to this movie. And remember half truth is worse than a complete lie. I just don't believe, this movie came from Agarwal Arts production, which gave us The Kashmir Files and Karthikeya 2.
Tiger Nageswara Rao as a film is very badly edited, scored, directed and acted. Though there was humongous potential in the subject matter, the makers of the film decided to make it a pot boiler(that too a very badly made one). But the most autrocious part of the film has to be the writing itself. There is no clear motivation for any of the characters, they do random things for the plot to move forward, none of the emotional scenes regarding the discrimination of the people of Stuartpuram comes across as genuine but rather sticked on the story inorder to elevate the character of the protagonist. The characterisation of both of the female leads is paper thin as well.
The storyline is grounded in a true character and real-life events, yet it incorporates numerous implausible elements. The narrative, at times, feels uninspiring and monotonous. The direction appears contrived and lacks depth. Everything on screen lacks authenticity.
The locations, sets, costumes, and makeup all come across as budget-conscious. Cinematography is subpar, with unsatisfactory color grading and an excessive brown tint that detracts from the viewing experience. It gives the impression of a low-quality television program.
The action choreography is commendable, and the visual effects are passable. The music, however, falls short of expectations.
Ravi Teja delivers an exceptional performance, while the female leads offer average portrayals. Anupam Kher and rest of the supporting cast generally performs well.
I would not recommend watching this film in theaters, but it might be worth a watch on an OTT platform.

"Tiger Nageswara Rao" is an average movie that, while benefiting from Ravi Teja's perfect fit for the titular role, has both strengths and weaknesses. The VFX, although good, could have been better, and there's no need for a heroine in the first half. However, the action sequences are a standout feature, offering excellence on screen. Director Vamsee's third attempt shows promise, even though his first two films didn't hit the mark. The BGM is good, but the songs are lackluster and boring. The second half of the movie loses momentum, making the 3-hour-plus runtime feel excessive. Some supporting characters lack the necessary connection with the audience. "Tiger Nageswara Rao" is watchable but not suitable for kids due to the explicit fight scenes and some objectionable content. In one word, it's a one-time watch movie with friends, deserving a 7/10 rating.
