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.
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 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.

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.

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.
