    I can't stop rewatching this movie!! 7/10

    Coming to performances: I can't stop becoming a pspk fan from watching this. Pawan Kalyan is absolutely amazing at his role. His comedy timing and his crazy action during emotional sequences is unbelievable. Trivikram's character design for pspk acting is just goosebumps. Ileana did extremely well too. She did get dominated by pspk but she did justice to her character.

    Until the end of first half: The movie flows well with a high dose of comedy that you will definitely love. The movie also features a love story that is kind of funny. In the middle there are some scenes of the villain. The movie doesn't really have until here story except the villain

    2nd half of the film: The second half starts with an emotional scene. This scene is carried by one and only pawan kalyan. His action is so good you might forget you are watching a movie. It then goes into pawan's flashback which has nothing todo with the story. The funny thing is you won't even notice it has nothing to do with the story because of the way trivikram blends it in with the story. After the flashback there are comedy scenes with brahmanandam and pawan which are hilarious. "apara baabu. Navvutho champetattunaavu." You will definitely be surprised by the amount of comedy even after reading this review.

    There is also hero villian dialogues at the end such as "within short time nuvvu bhayapadathavu nenu pedatha" or "yuddham lo gelavatam ante satruvuni champadam kaadu, satruvuni odinchadam." These are absoluete goosebump moments

    The only thing bad with the movie is that the story is a routine romantic comedy story.

    Overall it's a comedy entertainer that you can watch a 100 times and I can guarantee you, you won't be bored.

    Yet another disappointing movie from PavanKalyan

    Good music and songs does not look well on screen. Good concept but audience are often taken off the track...in fact in first half i felt lot of reels were simply wasted. I am sure this is definitely not the way Trivikram would like to tell his story. Trivikram shows flashes of brilliance though in the film with few dialogs. Again those one liners may not be that relevant to the story. Ileana somehow fits well into that innocent girl. Parvati looks more glamorous than Ileana. Pawan does well in the role of Sahu.No doubt he is a brilliant actor. Prakash got a very good role but the screenplay doesn't do justice to his character. Well film could have been promising...disappointing nevertheless

    A comical classic

    Direction-- top notch, writing -- outstandingly great, acting-- excellent, Music-- fantastic and a major plus, cinematography -- excellent, editing-- adequate, make-up and costumes-- good, choreography-- excellent, art direction-- great Overall a great comedy drama powered by extraordinary performance of Pawan kalyan and hard hitting dialogues by genius Trivikram

    Festive for audience.

    Definitely no doubt about this movie being a blockbuster.As always director Trivikram had come up with wonderful storyline with twists and surprises in the plot.Pawan Kalyan showcased his acting ,humor senses perfectly.He is known for his voice Modulations. The voice over by Mahesh Babu about Pawan Kalyan's character is greatly done. Comedy by Brahmanandam,Ali and all makes you laugh and jump.Prakash Raj chosen for perfect role.This movie is like full meals for audience.Overall, it's a wonderful movie and you will not get bored if you watch it any number of times.

    Pawan Kalyan rocks

    This was my first Pawan Kalyan film I watched. I don't know Telugu so I went to watch it with subtitles. First half I saw with subtitles but second half I had to see without subtitles and I tell you that I enjoyed the second half more than the first half and that was because of only one person- POWER STAR. If he can entertain a non Telugu person like me then he can entertain anyone. His style, attitude, charisma, dialogue delivery and fun filled performance wins our hearts. Second highlight of the film is DSPs rocking music. And when I saw it again with subtitles I still enjoyed like before. Only drawback I felt was the first half which I didn't enjoy much. I am not fan of trivikram's other works and jalsa is my only favourite film of trivikram.

    • Quotes

      Sanjay Sahu: [to his friend] You, who daily roam on costly vehicles, live in air conditioned houses and put on designer clothes don't have any right to talk about hardships. Now I will tell you how people suffer in real world. You must listen today !

      [kicks the goon lying on the ground]

      Sanjay Sahu: Did you know that to attend a school, you need to walk 4 kilometers to and fro from house ? / I know that !/ Did you know that sorghum is the staple meal and the rice is cooked only once in six months ? / I know that ! / Do you know that innocent children die everyday due to lack of proper healthcare ? / I know that !

      Sanjay Sahu: Do you know that there are people who stare at the ground in hunger and look towards the sky in thirst; in the very society you live in ? Did you ever know ?

      [sobbing aggressively]

      Sanjay Sahu: Did you ever undergo the pain of losing your mother just six hours after the death of father ? / I underwent that pain ! / Did you ever feel that some unseen force is crushing you into the ground with extreme power ? Did you ever experience your shoulder droop due to extreme suffering at a very young age ? Did you ever experience it ?

      [kicks the goon lying on the ground]

      Sanjay Sahu: Did you ever feel that to live in this society, our name, rights and power aren't enough and to run far away from people because you can't live among them ?

      [kicks the goon lying on the ground]

      Sanjay Sahu: Did forest ever look like a mother to you ? Did you ever feel that getting hold of a gun only can give immense courage ? Did you ever feel that there is no other option than killing others in order to make a living ?

      [kicks the goon lying on the ground]

      Sanjay Sahu: I felt the same way. I grabbed a gun, went to the forest and...

      [shouting]

      Sanjay Sahu: I became a terrorist ! I became a terrorist ! I became a terrorist !

      [voice echoes]

      Sanjay Sahu: Here, no one has the right to talk about hardships and suffering, only I possess that right. You definitely don't do so !

      [hits an electric pole with a brick in anger]
