Magadheera

I just watched the whole movie even without going bathroom. It was really a hell of a movie. I haven't seen anything like in Indian film history. I am from kerala and usually i don't like Telugu films except allu arjuns movies. I don't know Telugu language but even then also i really enjoyed a lot. Kudos to the team of this movie. And i am now a fan of ram charan teja.the start of the movie was surprising but after 10 minutes it changed to different. But the first 15 minutes seemed little bit boring to me. I mean very very little. the love scenes between ram and kajal was very beautiful. And i literally had goosebumps on the scene where teja chase the bus in a horse. Songs were good. The real excitement begins after the interval. From there the movie is like, like? i cant describe it in words. The 100 men fight scene was excellent though its inspired from 300 which is also my one of favourite movies. All in all this is something special!!!

When you are going to any S.S. Rajamouli movie..you always have a feeling that rarely he lets the audience down...right from Student no.1 to Chatrapthi to Simhadri or Yamadonga he always makes sure he provides a movie which hangs on to you for a while..well Magadheera is much more than that and arguably is best work by SS.Rajamouli so far..

Why do I say the previous line? The visuals,action sequences,romance,songs everything about this movie is really engaging and even the story though being simple makes you involve in it and during the scene where the hero dives down the mountain after the heroine..you feel your heart dropping too...and not just that scene but many others. Kajal is convincing as a bubbly girl who was a princess in her last birth..and it didn't feel that she was just a showpiece in the movie..Srihari had a brief but impacting roles of sher khan and Solomon..Chiru's guest appearance was kinda disappointing for me as I was hoping I would get to see him dance which didn't happen..but the person we definitely need to talk about here is Ram Charan the hero of the movie...Ram Charan has improved his acting by miles...compared to Chirutha..and has really proved that he can handle acting well...It seemed as if the role was written for him and no other actor would suit this role. the risky horse riding shots..the fight sequences...the sword fighting...everything was performed with ease by Ram Charan..

with good performances by the actors..and a visually stunning movie..and Rajamouli style of story telling...Magadheera would easily become one of the best movies of 2009 ..specially some sequences like fight sequence near Shiva statue...Udaygadh visual beauty...the sets used..the graphics...the concept...the opening scene..are first time ever in Telugu film industry...I give it 8/10 and its definitely worth a watch..

The movie was so good. The story was an old one but the way they presented was amazing. The vfx and sound effects were very good in the movie.

Sometimes you feel you should be the first one to review a movie so to share and enjoy the applause that it gets later on. Magadheera is just of that kind. I was amazed and thrilled by the way the movie starts over that deep valley. Some say the movie lets you down in the next half an hour but I suspect that was a ploy by the director. Reason simple, if it was the other way, it would have ended up being an overdose. A mediocre 30-40 minutes with an undercurrent indication to the flash back opened up doors to what is undoubtedly the best achievement in Telugu cinema in movies of this Genre.

Awesome is what I had in my mind leaving to the interval break. Rarely does one feel the break time in Indian cinema is not needed and this happens to be one such occasion. Second half started the roller-coaster ride. You see all the effort that the technicians had put in the movie. While songs are not at their best while listening, they were much better on picture. Dheera Dhreera song should be one of the best pictured songs in Telugu cinema. Charan has a long way to go but there are a few areas where he needs to work out a lot. But well.. for someone in his very second movie, he seems to had put extraordinary effort for this outcome. A pat on back for Rajamouli too.

Some scenes of the movie will haunt you for a long time. The starting scene and the scene where the horse (Badshah) comes back to rescue Charan. The horse chase sequences leading to scene are also superbly pictured. In spite of some obvious logical errors, I felt utterly satisfied for a Telugu movie after a long time. Hard work pays off.

PS: Rarely (sad but true! ) we'll get chance to take our non-Telugu colleagues to a Telugu movie and feel proud. Make the most of it with Magadheera. Let all know that our industry can make the best of the best.

I should say that the Tollywood went too far with this film..

Hats off to Rajamouli..what a great director and a great imagination his direction values are growing with each movie... i am a fan of his films starting from youthful SYE to Magadheera.. and congrats Ramcharan Teja-- amazing performance and macho man.. i really couldn't believe he did this much of action sequences and fights and dance just in his second movie...great! And Kajal was pretty as prince..also as a modern naughty girl. villain performance suits very well with hero.

The Maximum credit goes to visual effects....Fortress and its symbol..the white field for white...and the Shiva's idle..the whole Bhairava Kona was spectacular..Hats off to those who strive hard for these.. and another thing is Dance- Bangaru Kodi Petta- Spell binding.

NEGATIVE ASPECTS- no comedy at all...at least not a bit satisfied me.. Brahmanandam became a mere waste..Suneel was just OK.

IMPRESSION- every Telugu person should watch for his own pride

and others should watch to become aware of us..

Thank you Rajamouli
