Baadshah Movie Review

Watched NTR starer Baadshah telugu movie on the first day of release (5th April 2013) in Bangalore. Positive talk came for the movie on the first day. Let me share my review of the movie.

My Rating: 3.5/5. This is nearly equal to the average rating of movie from different websites.

Positive points:
1. Comedy scenes are the highlight of the movie. Brahmanandam and Nazar combination steals the show in second half. Padmanabha Simha (Brahmi) character is too good and I could not resist my laugh when Nazar scolds Padmanabha Simha. Brahmanandam is second hero of the film. I wonder how the director is able to create ultimate comedy characters for Brhami. Hats off!!
2. Many characters are similar to Dookudu movie, which is from the same director - Srinu Vytla. Still we are able to enjoy the movie. Can Srinu Vytla create magic again if the same trend continues - still a ??
3. NTR and Kajal performances are also good - dances, action, Ball philosophy.
4. Punch dialogues are next highlight of the movie.
Comedy Punch dialogues are super. "Pilli vamsam", "Simham tag for Pilli", "load chesina Lorry", "multi starrer", "pen-pencil", "ball philosophy" etc.. Some punch dialogues are there to elevate the Hero and to please fans.
5. Heroine Kajal acted without exposing - decent performance by her - credit goes to dialogue writers and director. Music and Item songs are also good.
6. Production values are good. It covers nice locations from Asia and Europe.
7. Regular hangover scene from Srinu Vytla - this time with ladies who dance for NTR item songs. Decent trail generated good laughs.

Negative points:
1. MS Narayana comedy track is OK. Seems to be criticism of some director.
2.Some cinematic scenes are there such as fights, making others fools.
3. China "dream machine" concept is just OK. But the comedy generated by this concept is good.
4. Some places editing and dialogues are not very clear. For example, What NTR wants from Villan in the first half? Why they created accident story and why should NTR parents stay separately?

Neutral points:
Excess usage of legend NTR name in the movie to boost the junior NTR. Good that Mahesh Babu gives voice over for this movie. I encourage and support the growth of cooperative nature in film industry.

It is a formula movie with good balance of mass and class elements with sentiment and commercial values. Hope it fares well at the box office as not much competition is there and people are eagerly waiting to watch cool comedy movies in this hot summer season.
