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.
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.
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!
