    TFI Industry hit

    My All time favorite, Can be watched for many times, excellent screenplay, dialouges, style, mannerism, pre-climax twist is ultimately and undoubtedly the best in TFI

    Perfect blend

    Pokiri has the perfect blend of everything an entertaining movie should have. Powerful dialogs, foot-tapping numbers, cheeky romance, great action sequences, fantastic characterization and a mix of a perfect dose of humor interlaced throughout. The director has also reserved some space of suspense with the plot! All these ingredients make Pokiri a must see for the entire family and not just fans of Mahesh. The cast matches the characters to the tee and every one contributes. You'll probably want to watch the movie more than once just to hear Mahesh's dialogs again. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Hats off to Mr. Puri Jagannath!

    Puri Jaganaths Best Movie and Best Movie in 2006

    puri jagantah direction is very beautiful in this movie and i can say that the way the story goes and ends is very amazing....i can say that this is the best action and thriller movie. Mahesh Babu acting is good and comedy in the movie is superb.

    ilaians is a new girl and her acting in movie is good.

    i think any one watches this movie feels great and no waste of money in the end.

    the rating i give to this movie is

    8 out of 10 mahesh babus best film ever he has been acted from so many movies.

    Every body can be watch this movie.

    An excellent movie

    Wow, when I first watched this movie, I was blown-away! It's a very good thriller/comedy/romance/action etc Telugu film.

    Mahesh's performance is amazing and he is made for this role. His new haircut is hot and he is so, so Hot in Pokiri! Prakash Raj should win a award for Pokiri and Ileana is so,so beautiful and pretty. My new favorite actress! The comedy track was OK and I love the chemistry between Ileana and Mahesh especially the elevator and up-ma scenes.

    Puri did remarkably good for directing and the story! The songs are breath-taking. I actually like them all and I bought the soundtrack! This is a brilliant movie and it deserves to break the Telugu movie records! Pokiri is nowing running for 400 Days!

    I can't wait for the Hindi pokiri and also I didn't like the Tamil one! So, I say that every Telugu people have to watch this movie!

    Mahesh Babu's Best

    Pokiri is like a saving grace for Mahesh Babu. If you want to see one film which will define an actor, Pokiri is the film for Mahesh. It's got action, humor and emotions that all count. His stunts, style and enigma sprinkle magic on the viewers. But, Puri Jagannath also gives us a good lineup of stars that include Prakash Raj, Nasser, Ashish Vidyarthi and Ileana.

    In films like these, the female lead is supposed to be a stupid female who has nothing else to do other than romance the hero. But, Ileana's character has a story for herself and she plays her role suavely. The film also offers extensive story lines to several other characters. Prakash Raj explains how famous he is; Ashish Vidyarthi sees a connection between his wife and concubine; Nasser has a will of his own, and Mahesh incredibly fits in as the guy for the job.

    With Mani Sharma's crackling soundtrack, Pokiri is a fine action flick which you can watch over and over. Dole Dole anybody?
