    A potpourri of different films!!

    It was a boring, draggy, potpourri of movies which would never end. But still, it had its brilliant moments which makes the movie work. More than being a Mahesh's film, it had Srinu Vytla written all over it. Mahesh just helped it reach the pinnacle. Bramhanadam and M. S. Naryana's video clips shall be on almost everyone's facebook pages in the near future. Actually, its not Mahesh, but them who make the movie reach its pinnacle. Better editing and screenplay could have helped. On the whole, a decent film. Could have been much better, but with the recent dearth of good Telugu films, this movie is something most of us can feast on (count me out!!).

    Dookudu an above average comedy entertainer.

    This is movie is entirely based on comedy n actor Mahesh's performance.

    Story: Not an unpredictable one, not delicious as director Sreenu- Vaytla's creation but dialogues n comedy timing are good.

    Pros: Mahesh,Prakash raj,Brahmanandam,M.S.Narayana,Sonusood & Nazer performances. Dir,screenplay Sreenu Vytla,Guhan cinematography,Taman background score n finally female lead Samantha.

    Cons: Second half of the movie works slowly as compared to that of first half. Samantha not used properly when they returned from Istanbul in the movie. Mahesh character it becomes he's the only person in the entire movie. Villain characterization not impressive.

    Verdict: An entertainment based film hope you'll enjoy.

    Super star at his best ....

    You can not ask for more than what this movie offers especially in its kind. Kudos to Mahesh, what an actor TFI has got, in fact Indian cinema. He excelled in every form of acting, comedy, action, sentiment. Great job by the director and thanks to him for giving such a wholesome entertainer to the cinema lovers. He has come up with a decent story and worked really good on the screen play to make sure That audience would not get bored even for few minutes. All the artists justified their characters. No need to mention about BRAMHI and MS They just ROCK. Thaman, the music director, gave decent tunes and terrific Back ground music. Go and watch you will enjoy the movie.

    Must Watch

    Dookudu is number 1 grosser in Tollywood now.a Good Entertainer..

    First half of the movie sets the plot up and it is entertaining. There are ups and downs in the second half, but the entertainment provided by Mahesh Babu, Brahmanandam and MS Narayana takes care of it. The plus points are Mahesh Babu's charm, Seenu Vytla's comedy timing and a workable script. On the flip side, there is a bit of redundancy in villain characterizations. Mahesh Babu delivers an universally acceptable entertainer in the form of Dookudu after a gap of five years. Go and watch it. Mahesh Babu proved himself again that he is a director's actor. He has a big heart to allow Brahmanandam to take center stage for a few minutes, though it is Mahesh who creates such situations. One should have a flair to time the comedy of Seenu Vytla and Mahesh does it effortlessly. Mahesh is one of the comedians when he is with Brahmanandam and MS Narayana. Mahesh Babu has also excelled in dialogue delivery by mixing Telangana accent in villain confrontation scenes. Mahesh Babu's trade mark teasing romance works big time in Turkey episodes. You see Mahesh being cheerful and smiling in most of the parts of the film.

    Rib tickling comedy

    watch this movie if u: 1.watch movies for entertainment rather than searching logic.. 2.like srinu vytla's brand of comedy.. 3.want to be left in splits by brahmi n MS 4.like mahesh's new diction 5.loiked the audio as songs are visually good but for choreography..

    on the whole, this movie is gr8 to watch for some rib tickling comedy and light hearted romance in the first half.. story is clichéd and predictable but i guarantee u that u ll enjoy the film.. it would have been better if the film was a little shorter,, samantha should have been given a longer screen time... prakash raj was okay.. suman's character is a waste of time.. nevertheless,go watch it folks

    • Quotes

      Nayak: When my man told you're like a Hollywood hero, I thought he was exaggerating, you're exact like one! I would've been disappointed if you were shorter even by an inch, you're stunning to make even an enemy jealousy. I think of killing anyone who disturbs me, but I wished to see you, do you know why? When you talked to me on phone, the pride with which you talked, I liked the intensity in your voice. Till now l've blasted 26 bombs, I've killed 24 police officers who tried to catch me, 113 criminal cases are pending on me, Interpol is searching for me in 13 countries, all of them together couldn't even touch me, and you too! This is my track record. Release Bunty!

      G. Ajay Kumar: You crook! I'm not here to hand over your brother, I'm here to take you. I'm a gold medalist in 2006 IPS batch, I eliminated 46 gangsters in encounters when I was in Anti-Gunda squad, and undercover operations are unlimited. I did all this in the span of 5 years. This is not just my track record, this is ALL-TIME RECORD!
