Business Man

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.

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.

The Businessman has a mix of action, image, dialogue and montage but what makes it entertaining is that all the above quantities are inextricably bound and linked together at every level with an admirably tight script. It is a regular story but structurally, technically and content wise, the director makes no mistakes. He puts the passion of Neninthe, entertainment of Dhookudu and structure ofPokiri to churn out a story that really means business. The film benefits from other pre- release factors like Mahesh's super success of Dhookudu, Thaman's 'inspired'tunes that have already become a big hit and finally the lessons that Puri Jagannadh had learnt from his recent string of flops.

The film has no frills, no vulgar wastage and the hero is practically in every frame; you hear only his voice, he looks good, sounds good, he also steals the comedian's job. The story is woven around a man who is hungry for power and grows by leaps and bounds to become a mafia don at a time when the competition is zilch in Mumbai. With little brawn and more brain he becomes a successful businessman, as crime is his business.

The thrills for the audience, amoral enjoyment arrives with every step that Surya (Mahesh) climbs, he has the uncanny ability to deceive, to lie convincingly on all scales, as though this was second nature. Yet he is compelling when he speaks the truth. Mahesh plays it straight. His growth should have been slightly slow in the first few minutes allowing the audience to settle down with his character.

The choreography is disappointing. No complaints on Kajal Agarwal's work, but the innocence in her eyes is gone. Ayesha who plays her friend is irritatingly screechy. The film has been given an A certificate not for violence or obscenity but for the dialogues that have the unmistakable Puri Jagan touch — rustic, raw and very profane.

Jagan repeats most of the Pokiri team — Nasser, Prakash Raj, Sayaji Shinde, Subburaju and Brahmaji. However, there is no hangover as all the performances are fresh. The director's son Aakash who worked in Lotus Pond plays the young Mahesh here. Shweta Baradwaj's We Love Bad Boys borders on the vulgar, and there are scenes where the hero rolls out expletives, in muted fashion though the lip movement makes it very clear what the character is saying. Smart work, Puri.

The director's tribute to Mumbai mafia redefines a cool and a brisk flourish. It seems like Puri cannot resist giving the hero's character a Robinhood touch. All in all, The Businessman is a good festival serving of cinema that brings back director Puri Jagan in form and officially crowns the hero for delivering two back-to-back hits.

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...
