Leader

One word is sufficient to describe Leader (2010) : Awesome ! Its intelligent movie making at its best. Decent acting from the entire cast, clever direction and editing. Music is a high point - the 'Maa Telugu Thalliki' song is one of the best this year. The last time i saw a telugu movie with this kind of screenplay was in the 90s.

Leader is like a whiff of fresh breeze to the telugu movie industry. If any of you out there are irritated at the kind of Indian movies that are made today, you will be pleasantly surprised with Leader. Its a director's show all the way. Shekhar Kammula's vision is extraordinary. The way he has built up the tension throughout the movie and his use of crispy dialogue to drive the idea home is commendable.

Given Andhra pradesh's political scenario today, Leader could not have come at a better time. The only downside to the movie is love affair that develops in the second half, kind of immature, but the rest of the movie and the expectation of the climax is enough to sustain the audience's attention throughout.

Underplay is completely absent in our movies, Rana Daggubati has made history with his portrayal. For an actor his age and given that this is his first full-length feature film, its amazing the way he has shown restraint and poise. The guy who plays an assistant to Rana in the film has done a wonderful job.

Most importantly, this movie gives hope to all the people of Andhra and India as well, that we can do away with money power and caste politics if we believed in ourselves, and if we have a Leader who can lead by example.

Hope the industry produces more good movies such as this. 8.5/10 !

The most honest and best political cinema ever made in india. Completely unexpected from sekhar kammula. A textbook for political film genre. Deserved much more attention for the content. Though its a debut film for rana he pulled it off with his diction and sincerity. Music does stand out many times. Kudos to mickey. Definitely emotional and thought provoking.

One of the most underrated movie in Telugu cinema.

Rana Daggubati's acting was so fluent to believe this is his 1st film.

The roles of Richa & Suhasini were powerful enough to anchor the screenplay rock solid to the storyline.

The deep rooted corruption in our system can push any soul to make deal with devil as a necessary evil.

The way forward is to have Leaders instead of Politicians

A complete shift from his earlier films, Sekhar Kammula has yet again struck the right lines while directing this film.

I had lot of doubt before the movie got released, as to whether Sekhar really had the story and the guts to pull off such a film, but he did with an incredible style. The story though seems inspired from real life incidents is very well written and the dialogues are brilliant. The film slackens a bit in the second half, but the ending is a high adrenaline jump as the old man's scene moves you completely. The background music is inspiring and brings you goose-bumps every time the Leader's title track instrumental comes along.

Rana should be appreciated a lot for staying away from the commercial launch for his first film and even his subtle expressions and underplay deserves a sound applause. Finally a must watch.
