    Baadshah is a successful entertainer for this summer.

    NTR is brilliant performance as Baadshah is the main highlight of the movie. His comedy timing is superb with Kajal and very entertaining also. Mahesh Babu's voice over also one of the highlight here. Brahmanandam is very funny as Inspector Padmanabha Simha. He is also a major asset for the film. Brahmanandam outlook with NTR and Nasser are really awesome. Sreenu Vaitla concept from is really appreciable.

    M.S. Narayana is wonderful as the film director Revenge Nageswara Rao. He will definitely make you laugh. M.S. Narayana almost takes comedy in the first half. Kajal entertains every one. She looks stunning in the movie. Suhasini also good here. Navdeep has done glowing as villain. Hero Siddarth also acted here. But he has a very small role. But very crucial role in the film. Nasser is valuable as the harsh police officer. The second half of the film is combo of complete entertainment. Overall movie is good.

    A typical masala movie

    This film is over the top, just like its protagonist. The flow of the movie is horrendous, the narrative style didn't suit movie, it makes it somewhat convoluted, and by the time things started to unravelled, and twists are revealed it's already turned to a one big joke of a movie.

    The plot is pretty tedious with an extremely unoriginal screenplay. It takes this wearisome vehicle a significant amount of time to develop the plot. To make matters worse, there are some forced comedy scenes which test your patience. As usual, the first half is full of comedy and romance which are never established properly. In fact, they seem pretty disjointed and slow down the pace. The fun moments are mostly few and far between. The second half does evoke some interest but it quickly becomes too dull.

    The soundtrack is nothing extraordinary as well, there's only one or two songs that actually got my attention. But the locations and costumes and choreography of the music videos are handled well.

    The performances tho are good; NTR jr, did a good job at the lead role as per usual, but I'm not a fan of his hairstyle in the first half of the movie. Kagal Agarwal is typecasted as the typical love interest. Brahmanandam and Ms Narayanan did their usual comedy antics. The villains are clichèd and typecasted as well.

    All in all, Baadsha is a very typical masala movie, with the usual mix of action and humorous dialogue that only succeeds partially and romance thrown in randomly at places. But nevertheless it entertains, and that's what matters at the end.

    Cool and Complete eNterTaineR in hot summer

    Story: Saadhu Bhai(Kelly Dorjee) is a dangerous mafia don who runs an illegal empire with the help of his close aides in Ranjan(Mukesh Rishi). Baadshah(NTR) is the aggressive son of Ranjan and he is the emerging force in the underworld. As time passes by, Baadshah becomes hugely popular and decides to take on the mighty Saadhu Bhai. An upset Sadhu Bhai now decides to kill Baadshah. This is also the time when the terrorist attacks planned by Saadhu in India enter an operational phase. Baadshah, who is strictly against Saadhu Bhai, also moves to India to stop his evil deeds. Why does Baadshah go against Saadhu Bhai? How does he manage to tackle Saadhu Bhai's plans ? Whose help does he take to fulfill his mission? That forms the rest of the story. Positive Points: Baadshah is an out and out Srinu Vytla film. There is action, romance, thrill and most importantly lots of comedy in the film. It's a tailor made role for NTR, who plays his part perfectly in 3 characters portrayed throughout at different times. He acts, fights, dances and looks like a true Baadshah. His fans will simply love him in this role which has multiple shades. They will get to see him in a stylized role in the first half, and a boy next door in the second. NTR manages to bring compete difference to both his characters and looks very convincing. A pro in dancing, NTR has done an awesome job in that department. Kajal Agarwal, gets a meatier role and plays her part exceptionally well. She looks beautiful. Kajal gets lots of footage in the first half devoted to her. She just goes through the motion where as the dubbing takes care of the punches. She was given simple moments to dance and she did well with those. Brahmanandam however was the show stealer here with his performance taking the film to an all time high in the second half of the film.

    Music by SS Thaman is good and is already a huge success before release itself. They have been picturised well on screen with each song containing a fabulous moment of dance by Jr NTR. The background score is inconsistent, its good at times but is also noisy at times.

    An interesting medley featuring Sr NTR's songs will be loved by the audience tremendously. First half of the movie is stylish, where as the second half is completely entertaining. Songs are a major plus and have been shot lavishly. The title song which showcases NTR as Baadshah is the one to watch out for. Negative Points: In spite of having tremendous entertainment, Baadshah has a flavor of all of Srinu Vytla's old films. If the last 10 minutes in the first half should have trimmed off to maintain that pace to go on. The pre-interval and interval feel of absolutely carelessness carries in the beginning of the second half too till the characters of Nazar and Brahmanandam are introduced. M S Narayana's comedy is just about OK and the story for obvious reasons looks familiar to SrinuVaitla's previous films. Technical Aspects: Baadshah is rich on technical values. Music is foot tapping. Banti Poola Janaki and the title song Baadshah look very stylish and the item song 'Kanakam' and Rangoli will be a feast for the masses. Dialogues ad punches are typical Srinu Vytla style and have been used effectively. Action sequences have been choreographed well, especially the opening fight. One can say that Srinu Vytla has once again succeeded in making a decent family entertainer which promises loads of fun right till the end. Time and again, he proved that entertainment is what the viewer looks for, and he delivers it in abundance. Screenplay of the movie is apt and has been handled well in the second half. Camera-work is decent and show cases NTR stylishly. All the foreign locations have been captured well and the entire movie has been richly shot. Bandla Ganesh's production values are a major asset as he not compromised with the look of the film. Verdict: On the whole, Baadshah is a super feast for all NTR fans. A stylish looking NTR and some hilarious comedy is a major asset for this film. Go watch this film with your complete family as Baadshah is a breath of cool air in this hot and humid summer. A Must Watch.

    Rating: 3.5/5

    Baadshah of Tollywood

    First half of the film is good and stylish.

    Second half is entertaining the moment Brahmanandam's character is introduced film gets more entertaining.

    Plus points of the film are NTR and the entertainment in the second half.

    On the flip side, the effective scenes of the cause which turns Rama Rao into Baadshah would have made this film emotionally gripping.

    On a whole, Baadshah is a film that serves you with Seenu Vytla kind of entertainment using NTR and Brahmanandam in an effective way. NTR has got a film with good box office potential.
