Guntur Kaaram

I'm sure you've already read a ton of reviews about why not to watch the movie so far but I'll give you one reason to watch it: Mahesh Babu.

Time and time again, for over the past decade, he's been trolled over his dances, expressions, how all his movies only focus on social messages, and etc. In this movie, he SHINED. Even though the screenplay and story was severely underwhelming, Mahesh Babu singlehandedly saved this movie. By the way, don't get me wrong, the cast did really good acting, but a lot of the characters were severely underutilized and weren't given proper limelight in the script.

In this movie, you will see a Mahesh Babu in full-form in likes we haven't seen since Dookudu and Businessman. From his comedy timing, to silencing all the trolls with dances and really young, healthy looks, he really made the movie a worth watch.

The movie could've been better in numerous aspects such as script (I am a Trivikram fan and I know how much better a script he can make, he just didn't write a script that was at his range this time), but it completely meets and even exceeds expectations in the promise it makes that this is an out-and-out SUPER STAR MAHESH BABU FILM. If you are a fan of his or are curious about the way he was presented in this film, I definitely recommend watching this movie.

8 Stars/10. With so much negative reviews out there, I'm giving it an 8/10 because of the respect for Mahesh Babu Garu, for the 110% effort he put towards this movie, and in appreciation for the rest of the cast who even though didn't get as much a role as they should've, still aced their roles while they could.

Finally, to Guruji and Thaman: You can and will make better projects like this in the future, use this film as a lesson for how to improve in the future.

I really cant believe that movies like these exists. There is absolutely no content in the movie. It is pure 2 hour rubbish. The movie changes sequence so fast that its difficult to keep up. The only nice thing she can do is dance. Action scenes are un necessary. A fight every 5 mins just makes the movie so redundant. The movie is trying to display a very special bond that exists between a mother and a son but they have absolutely failed to do so. I dont feel bad neither for the mom nor the son. Such good actors but pure waste of talent. Old storyline with cringeworthy acting. Specially the actress. She is trying to act cute but just looks dumb.

The storyline itself may seem a bit ludicrous, and unfortunately, it transforms into a cringe-worthy screenplay overloaded with commercial elements like comedy, sentiment, fights, songs, and the whole shebang. Enduring this film is akin to a self-inflicted torture.

Mahesh Babu gives it his all, attempting a fresh approach with his character and performance in comparison to his recent works. However, Ramya Krishnan's potential is sadly underutilized, leaving much to be desired.

Sree Leela delivers her usual dose of subpar acting but compensates with great dancing skills. The remaining cast, caught up in mundane roles, manages to scrape by with okay performances.

Production values pass muster, and the music is, well, music. However, the direction feels antiquated, and it's high time Guruji explores new avenues rather than sticking to this worn-out formula.

In all honesty, this film isn't worth the theater ticket, not even a glance on OTT platforms. Save yourself the trouble.

Honestly, it's not that bad what reviews are, certainly the first batch viewers may have different agenda. Trivikram is missing M S Narayana, Darmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam, we clearly see that void. It is out and out Mahesh Babu movies, full of mass characterization, intentionally he kept himself away from a social message, people got bored of social messages. Certainly don't look for dark stories like KGF, Salaar, not every movie and every viewer is expecting such kind of movies. Srileela justified her role, though not much scope. Prakash Raj gave a decent performance. Thaman music was okay. Overall timepass.

First time disappointed with Trivikram direction .. Not even a single scene proves it is directed by Trivikram .. Not sure what made Mahesh babu to chose this subject .. Generally people watch people to pass the time seems Trivikram time passed with out directing .. Utter disappointment .Seems they focused on the encashing by releasing in more theatres during Sankranthi ..🙏🙏Trivikram sir we want you back don't focus on star casting and big banners ..we want your dialogues ,Screenplay we watch your movies for your work irrespective who is starred in the movie.

Producers even should know what they taking it looks no control by any department.
