    trend-setter movie...loved it,,..

    Mahesh Babu is simply amazing in the role of Surya. His dialog delivery and expressions will send a tingle down your spine. He exudes pure menace when giving a 'dhamki' to his opponents. He has shown nice variations in his performance. And he looks stunningly handsome as usual. Mahesh Babu shoulders this movie on his own. The swagger, the attitude and his panache will be a big draw.

    Kajal Aggarwal looks gorgeous as Chitra and she has some interesting moments with Mahesh Babu. She does not have much scope for performance however.

    Puri Jagan is the other invisible hero of the movie. Take a bow sir, for some of the best dialog's seen in recent times. Each dialog explodes like a bullet and when delivered by Mahesh Babu, the result is devastatingly effective. The movie is high on entertainment factor and there is hardly a boring moment in the film. The sequences where Mahesh Babu sets about establishing his dominance are highly innovative.

    All the songs have been picturized well but 'Sir Osthara' song and 'Chandamama' stand out for their sheer beauty.

    Dialogues..Dialogues and Dialogues...They are an incredible asset to the movie. The timing is perfect and the punch is incredible. Cinematography is good. Editing is neat. Fights and songs have been composed well.

    Screenplay is highly entertaining and narration is fast paced. I enjoyed this flick a lot go and grab your tickets friends...

    Story of a noble gangster

    Nice.... The movie truly deserves a watch as it is entirely different.The main power of the movie lies in its writing which is simply amazing.The story of the movie is very new(but foolish) and entertaining and is presented nicely.Screenplay was fast paced and slick.But the overall idea of the movie was too idiotic.The way of taking revenge of his parent's death was too weird.Still i enjoyed the movie for its non-sensical idea and power packed performance by Prince Mahesh.The way in which the protagonist legalised the Mafia was so stupid.What was the police doing at that time?Starting of the movie was too lousy.The lack of comic relief in the script is also a big minus point.But the main plus point of the movie is its writing and the performance by Mahesh babu.He was simply amazing.His body language and dialogue delivery was amazing.Kajal aggrawal looked cute but had nothing much to do.Music was good.Cinematography was good and editing was very good.If you are a fan of Mahesh then you should definitely watch it.And if you are not then you should watch it with low expectations.This movie proves how an idiotic could be turned into a blockbuster movie due to the excellent direction.This movie proves the flair of Puri sir. RATING : 6.8 out of 10

    Mahesh and Puri effect!!

    Mahesh and Puri!! Their last film broke Telugu movie records, and you expect this one to be a bigger and better movie. But due to my recent experiences, I went to watch without any expectations, and at the end of the film I walked out quite satisfied. The movie makes no sense, has no story or nothing, but thanks to the brilliant acting by Mahesh, and pretty good dialogues by Puri, Businessman is a decent watch.

    Filming for the first time without his favorite actors Ali or Brahmanandam, Puri Jagannadh makes Businessman without a comedy track. Thanks to the slick screenplay, you never notice the lack of comedy though. There are highs and lows, but overall, it works. Might not be as big a hit as Pokiri, and might not run in multiplexes, but is sure to run houseful in B and C centers.

    Watch it only for Mahesh and Puri. If you like neither of them, then go watch some other movie.

    What a show by Superstar

    WOW ... what a show by the Superstar, it just blows you away. Fast paced screen play, Mahesh's performance, dialogue delivery and Puri's best dialogs so far are just good enough to watch this movie multiple times. You do not feel bored even for few seconds during 2hr movie. Just go and watch if you haven't watched it yet. WOW ... what a show by the Superstar, it just blows you away.

    wonderful

    Businessman is an action packed roller coaster ride and its Mahesh Babu's show all the way. An ideal movie for Mahesh Babu to hit the screens as the superstar took over from where he left in Dookudu. Typical Puri Jagannath's one liner dialogues coupled with Mahesh Babu's terrific action sequences hogs the limelight in Businessman. The film gives you glimpses of Pokiri and other mafia based movies like RGV's Satya but Puri managed to bring his own style of innovation. He has handled it very sensibly ensuring that there are no duplication of thoughts. Given the fact that Businessman movie was just made in 72 days, boy the output is brilliant and hats off to Puri Jagannath and Mahesh for making the movie in such a short span of time.

    Businessman is a perfect mass masala extravaganza which satisfies the undemanding viewers. Mahesh Babu has strong screen presence that works to the advantage of the film. Puri Jagannath is raw, creative and daringly different like he usually is. When such a dynamic director gets the authentic acting support from his superstar, you can expect fireworks on the screen and that's what happens in Businessman. Mahesh Babu and Kajal give sterling performances to the shouts of 'action' and 'cut' of Puri Jagannath for Businessman movie. The result is that we have a massy entertainer in the face of stiff competition from other strategically released action movies this season.
