    its simply wasting your time by watching his movie

    this is the worst movie u will ever experience with a lot of disgusting graphics. Yet another copy movie from "MB"(COPY CAT THE GREAT) as usual. What does he think of himself acting in a movie without dialogs. Spoiled a very nice scene in "behind the enemy lines" movie. Similarly the bridge scene is also copied from an English movie. He moans in a movie MEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAA........... For Sainikudu movie he did so much over action during its publicity. Finally Athithi is also a remake of an old Hindi movie(1978). Copy cat................ all his movies were copied from various English films.none were realistic.i wonder why doesn't he get sued for making such films.

    Not even to close a FIASCO..

    "Its like dropping infinite number of atom bombs..all at once on our sorry heads."

    "Suppose its the end of the world and this is the only movie left that can be watched on screen or on DVD...in-spite of this u might not want watch this parody."

    "If IMDb has an infinite list of all the movies made, this would be at the bottom"

    I don't even want to waste my time by commenting on this disaster. I just want to warn those people who might want to watch this movie..please people...do not even think about watching this so called movie thing..even in your wildest dreams. The director is so confused that he put a song when everyone is thinking to leave the theater. Waste of money, energy, and anything u can think of. Its not worth even though u r bored to your death. Trust me or u r doomed to be ******.

    Not Worth A Comment

    Mahesh Babu - Aswini Dutt - Guna Sekhar. One would least expect a decent movie out of this great combination.

    When i watched this movie, i started worrying from the scene where 'Siddharth' brings a dead body(child) infront of CM and HomeMin, and with freedom says a few dialogues in a slow tempo as if he's talking infront of his family members and leaves the place... just like that. From thereon, at least 15 to 20 times, particularly when 'Sidh' crushes a knife into the ground through HomeMinister's toe - people and press making fun and comedy(where in this world wud happen suchway) out of that scene, i felt very uneasy with the product and quality of the film.

    Mahesh: One can't deny that he's turning out to be a promising talented hero from Telugu Industry. But, his style of delivering dialogues and his body language seemed monotony. May be, he's not interested in doing different roles with different modulation and characterization. And his fights are very very artificial.. surprisingly he's not ready to take at least one shot from any of the fighter. WHY... WHY THE HELL THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND REALITY?

    Trisha: Not able to say that she did well upto her character, as this film doesn't deserve even that compliment.

    IrfanKhan: The biggest idiotic thing is, not at least in One Scene he seems like a Home Minister.

    Prakash Raj: Nothing left to tell about him, coz he's a duplicate of one real life character.

    Aswini Dutt: I wish, he should say 'SORRY' to every Mahesh's Fan and Audience.

    Guna Sekhar: I heard previously, that Chiru Fans were angry on Guna for 'MrugaRaju'. Now, according to me, Guna Sekhar will be banned for at least 3-4 Years. He deserves it.

    I WAS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED THAT I DON'T HAVE WORDS TO EXPRESS. EVERY MOVIE DOES HAVE At least 5 to 10 -VE POINTS. BUT, SAINIKUDU IS A MOVIE WITH 99 -VE POINTS. AND THAT VERY 1 +VE POINT GOES TO ONE GOODSONG 'maayera maayera'.

    I'm still thinking... what went RIGHT in the whole movie. Now, u decide is it RIGHT to watch Sainikudu!!

    I enjoyed it

    Actually, I enjoyed it. Sure there were a lot of things wrong with the plot, but it was an action movie. Why doesn't Siddarth come up for air? Because it's an action movie, and heroes need suspense. Why doesn't Pappu just shoot Siddarth like he did all those other people? Because it's an action movie... you can't kill the good guys or the movie would be over. Why does Siddarth beat up an entire gang single-handedly and then break into a Michael Jackson song? Because it's an action movie. This isn't some great work of art; go see it for what it is and enjoy the ride.

    Admittedly, I don't speak Telugu. (I didn't have to, because it was an action movie.) Some of the people who did said they were disappointed by the dialogue, so you might enjoy this movie more if you don't speak the language.
