Dookudu

Strengths: Mahesh Babu, Prakash Raj and MS Narayana Comedy. Weakness: Artificial development of Scenes, Songs and Predictable/routine screenplay of Sreenu.

Mahesh did a spectacular job as always, but this is not his kind of movie for sure. It's more like Sreenu vytla's movie, however this time it appears to be more like an action oriented movie than a family entertainer. May be presence of Mahesh made the difference i guess. Still I feel the MAGIC is not there in the film to stand a winner. Dialogues are really good. The pace of the film and screenplay really don't give you a chance to think whether it is really possible what Hero did to save his Father. Film is different for Mahesh though not up to his standards.

Mahesh Babu role and his action is highlight in the film. He excelled both in action and emotional scenes. His comedy timing is perfect and over shadowed big comedians in the movie. The variation he showed in body language between Police officer and MLA is commendable. Overall, it is an energetic performance by Mahesh Babu much to the delight of his fans.

Samanta has nothing to do much except play the role of Mahesh Babu love interest. She is pretty and looked glamorous in songs. Parvathi Melton item song is unimpressive.

Prakash Raj is at his usual best. This role is one among many roles he played. Sonu Sood as underworld don did justice to his selection. Kota, Sayaji Shindey and Supreeth performance is OK.

Real scene stealers are Brahmanandam in Padma Sri role and MS Narayana in wanna be hero Venu role. Their performance is highlight in the movie.

Nasser as boss to Mahesh Babu has less important role. Suman and Naga Babu restricted to couple of scenes in Police chiefs role. Vennela Kishore, Ravi Prakash and Manoj performed well as Mahesh colleagues. Tanikella Bharani, Chandra Mohan, Shiva Reddy, Dharmavarapu Subrahamanyam and many more filled the screen.

Story: Shankar Narayana (Prakash Raj) an honest man with ideals who does a lot for the poor. His good deeds find enemies (Kota, Supreeth, Sayaji). Shankar's son Ajay (Mahesh Babu) grows up to be an honest and tough cop.

While the whole world thinks Shankar Narayana is dead, he is actually recovering in a hospital. Meanwhile, unaware of all this flashback Ajay sets on a mission to hunt Nayak (Sonu Sood), a dreaded mafia don. In this process, he comes across Prashanti (Samantha) and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Shankar Narayana recovers but he is not supposed to go through any sort of stress.

For this, Ajay starts doing all sorts of things to keep him happy. The story takes a turn when Ajay discovers about the attack on his father and decides to take revenge. How does he do that? Whether he is successful or not forms the rest of the story.

Performance: Dookudu movie is One Man action----Mahesh Babu.Like Khaleja,Mahesh has given an another extraordinary acting which was not given in his previous movies.

Samantha was used only for songs and only in first half.Vennela Kishore was good,but did not used much.

The plus point of this movie is M.S.Naranyana and Bhramanandam.All seen M.S.Narayanana acting,but in this movie , he has given best mind blowing performance as per comedy when compared to his previous movies...

Choreography was good.Sreenu Vaitla didn't do much to take the movie.Ready,Dhee,King mixed all and grind-ed well and built-ed the concept as to suit Mahesh role.Nothing much new in the movie.

Conclusion : If you are a prince fans,definitely it will rock.

Comedy,timing,prince ,m.s.narayana & other co-stars acting brings plus point for family members..

My rating : 8.5/10

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

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!!).
