    Do not fall for the fake reviews, this movie is terrible.

    "Once Upon a Time in Jamaaligudda" is a movie that starts off with a lot of promise, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver. Throughout the runtime, the movie is consistently bad, making it a difficult watch for anyone.

    The acting in the film is decent, but it is let down by the poor script and dialogue. The characters lack depth and the lines they deliver are unconvincing. As a result, the actors' performances are wasted, and they fail to make an impact on the audience.

    The music in the movie is equally bad, failing to create the right mood or elevate the scenes. It lacks any kind of memorable tunes and fails to enhance the story in any way. As a viewer, I found it hard to connect with the characters or the plot due to the lackluster soundtrack.

    The naming of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is an unnecessary addition to the movie. It is insensitive to use the names of two cities that were destroyed by atomic bombs in a movie without any relevance to the plot. It adds nothing to the story and only serves to offend people who have a connection to those cities.

    Additionally, the fake stammer given to the hero is an overused trope in movies, and it is surprising to see it still being used in 2023. It is a lazy way of creating sympathy for the character and adds nothing to the story or the portrayal of the character.

    Overall, "Once Upon a Time in Jamaaligudda" is a bad movie that should be avoided. The poor script, unconvincing dialogue, and bad music make it a difficult watch. While the acting is decent, it is not enough to save the movie. The use of insensitive names and overused tropes further adds to the problems in the film. As a viewer, I would recommend giving this movie a miss and watching something else instead.

    In conclusion, while there may be some redeeming qualities to "Once Upon a Time in Jamaaligudda," the negatives outweigh the positives. As a movie-goer, I expect more from a film, and unfortunately, this movie falls short.

    A feel good story #Once upon a time in Jamaligudda

    The movie, Once Upon A Time In Jamaligudda (2022), not only serves as an item of good entertainment, but also good love story between hiroshima and rukku in the 1990s backdrop, the life issues of rukku, and how he choose his life for their family that how they explained in the movie was very good. The movie centers around the life of the kid chukki and that takes the movie to next step: hiroshima who's name krishna and nagasaki who met in jail and how they escaped from that jail and and finally how they met chukki that takes the movie next level, This film served as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. Producer Hari used actors that had either appeared in previous famous tollywood films and all of them shown in their respective roles. Baground score next level>>>and the songs was feel good. Daali Dhananjaya ( Kittu alias Hiroshima) shows versatility in emotional scenes and in his stuttering dialogu delivery and Aditi Prabhudeva (Rukmini) is good as well. Yash Shetty in Nagasaki role did justice to his character. Songs composing and picturization are good.

    There once was a bland tale which didn't required to be told.

    Once upon a time in Jamaligudda, existed a guy who got famous as Hiroshima along with his cellmate who was named Nagasaki by the police. As they escape from the prison, stealing a car, they find a disabled girl in it and how Hiroshima gets to become her friend over the next few days on their short trip leaving lasting memories forms the story. Ofcourse, the director resorts to non-linear narrative.

    The problem with the characters introduced here is that they largely remain superficial. The emotions are terribly forced and the slow narrative to the obvious outcome simply tests one's patience. You can literally count the number of "good" characters surrounded by simply "bad" ones. The cinematography is good but apart from that the screenplay offers very little for the actors to elevate those scenes.

    The love story between Krishna and Rukmini is simply pedestrian, sticking to the predictability. The supposed friendship between Hiroshima and Nagasaki is half baked. The friendship between Hiroshima and Chukki too is barely established considering there is lot of violence the girl has to witness in order to trust Hiroshima. Even if it is the Stockholm syndrome, the film simply doesn't try to offer any meaningful justification.
