Featured reviews
I had the least expectations when watching this film, due to Puri Jagan's recent track record and the fact that most big movies flop releasing after a stupendous hit (Dookudu). I'm glad that I had the least expectations because I enjoyed the movie to the fullest. No unnecessary scenes in the film. The running time of the film is only 2 hours, 6 minutes. Mahesh Babu's acting was awesome! I am glad he came forward to do such a movie and he carried the film all the way. Puri Jagan's dialogues were excellent. A lot of them were worth blowing whistles and not many dialogues give that punch in movies: Only Puri can deliver such dialogues! Also, there are not many songs in the film so the tempo of the film is well-maintained. This is a good start for 2012. I am looking forward for Puri's upcoming films this year.
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.

Puri Jagannadh has lost his form big time. He just thought of cashing in on Mahesh's Dookudu success by casting him in a movie with no story. But i'll briefly review the movie first. Mahesh plays a wannabe don who comes to Mumbai to rule & eventually with his unique techniques reaches his goal. Add a love story & a clumsy flashback with lots of violence & punch dialogues the final product is Business Man.
Mahesh is tremendous in his tailor made role & he rocked the screen. Kajal is wasted in a badly sketched role. Prakash Raj is as usual & so are the others. Music is average by Thaman & the 2 hit songs in the film are badly choreographed.
If Puri Jagannadh admits this to be his best work then please his last best work was pokiri & after that he has given only average to bad films.If you take Mahesh from the film then this'll be the biggest disaster of 2012. Like i said Mahesh is the only saviour of this film, the script lacks morality so i wonder how audience will take it. I'm a Mahesh fan so i enjoyed the movie anyway & the bad direction & script explains my rating 6/10 & ever single point is given only for Mahesh's rocking performance.
Puri Jagannadh please concentrate on good script rather than just hero's mass image. This time it was Mahesh otherwise it'd have been another neninthe & golimaar. Any star other than Mahesh starring in this movie can't make it as entertaining as Prince has made 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...

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.
