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
A slick screenplay + Mahesh Babu + Puri Jagannadh = Business Man
A combination that rocked the screens before almost created another blockbuster. The concept was new but for viewers who are not fans of either Mahesh Babu or Puri Jagannadh may not appreciate this movie too much.
The beginning seemed to make no sense but as the movie progressed things began to piece together. A few scenes with Kajal Aggarwal and her friend seemed odd in the movie. Kajal definitely overacted and had no substance in this time around. If her parts were cut out, the movie would have still been the same.
Mahesh Babu's new avatar is indefinably worth seeing. A charming and cute boy-faced man has turned into a rugged tough guy. He reminds audiences once again that he can carry any type of role with ease. His dialogue delivery was superb and his style was unique.
True to his words, Puri Jagannadh does make movies for the sake of making a movie. He deviates from his usual style and presents a different take on movies.
The cinematography is worth mentioning because it really enhanced the movie. The editing was awesome, making the movie quick and enjoyable. The songs are good too.
Overall, this movie is different and a must watch for fans of either Mahesh Babu or Puri Jagannadh. Those not familiar with either of their works may find it hard to understand.

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.

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...

Businessman is a typical Mahesh Babu film all the way, evoking laughs with comic one-liners and subtle expressions. There is only one actor in the film who is everywhere – it is none other than prince Mahesh Babu.The film revolves around him and all other characters including Kajal Agarwal are just like extra or junior artists. Mahesh Babu carries the role with the required intensity and charms. Kajal Agarwal is there just to fill the glamor element. Nazar is effective as the city police commissioner. Prakash raj is wasted in a small role. Sayaji Shinde is his usual self. Brahmaji, Subba Raju, Dharmavarapu and others are there just to fill up the gaps. PLUS-The plus points of the film are Mahesh Babu's performance and Puri Jagan's dialogues. MINUS-On the flip side,the story of the film is unconvincing and police/political system is twisted. Yet it is a good festive sankranti gift.
