Its been 3 long years since mahesh, the charming prince of Tollywood is seen on the big screen. He is back, and this time he made sure his presence felt stronger than ever. Trivikram who delivered one of the best to Mahesh with Athadu, handled the megaphone once again for Mahesh.

Before going ahead with my review, i would like to clarify few things, Cinema lo Raju Devudu kaadu. Rao Ramesh, Sidda ki cheppinappudu kuda Mana ooriki devudu vastadu ani cheppadu, okadu vastadu, atane ee oori janalni kapadathadu ani maatrame chebutadu. Gramasthulu Raju ni tama oorini kapadadaniki vachina devudu ani maatrame anukuntaru tappinchi Devudu vachadu ani kaadu. I would like to consider few things to justify my justification. Athadu movie lo Mahesh-Sunil velli Poojari ki dabbulu ichinappudu aa poojari devudu vachi tama kashtalu teerchadu anukuntadu. Alane ee movie lo kuda Dilawar singh valla kutumbaniki dabbulu ivvadaniki vellinappudu kuda oka dialogue vuntundi "Ninnu Devudu antunnadu ani". Ikkada chinna point miss avutunnaru so called critics, reviewers and etc; etc; Kashtallo, avasarallo vunna vanni aadukunte aa manishiki kaapadina vaadu devudu laane kanipistadu anthe kaani devudu ante tanaki magical powers vuntayi, tanu edi anukunte adi jarugutundi ani kaadu. I knew when i said the above line again i will be slammed by the so called logistics, Raju ki movie lo anukunnavi anni jariginattu chupistaru kada ani, again i would like to clarify some thing, movie ni sarigga chuste, observe cheste Raju character realisation ni chaala simple ga ardam ayyela chupincharu movie lo. Swardham tho naaku idi kaavali ani korukunte adi jaragochu, jaragakapovachu, kaani Kashtallo vunna vanni kapadatam kosam nuvvu edaina sankalpisthe katchitam ga neeku phalitam kalugutundi ani. I believe in these lines, as i have experienced it. Raju ki villagers ki etuvanti sambandam ledu tanu just vallaki help cheddamu anukuntadu anthe.
Performances
Mahesh: I am an ardent admirer of Mahesh not because he had Pokiri in his kitty, not because he is the son of Superstar krishna or not because of some personal egoistic feelings. I like his acting, I like his screen presence, I like his looks, what not everything. For the first time i have seen the actor in Mahesh in Murari, I was spellbounded, and it was the first movie i have ever watched back to back shows till that date. After that though there were hiccups in terms of his movie selection and box office performance i was never disappointed with Mahesh except for Sainikudu. I swear this is the Best performance of Mahesh till date. He was superb, excellent, fabulous, fantabulous and yes I would like to use each and every superlative to praise him.
This is the first time till date, Mahesh the silent killer of tollywood is loud, brash and open. He had certain boundaries set for the characters he had done earlier but this time Trivikram had designed his character without boundaries and the rest is wonder. Its just not comedy, the emotions, the innocence, the attitude, the arrogance, what not he out played every single character in the movie. Comedy timing is superb. I cannot stop praising him for the performance he has given in the interval episode and climax. Watching Mahesh on screen is worth your ticket, and the rest is nothing but bonus.
Mahesh looked awesome on screen, with his new look. He looked relaxed and refreshing. I am sure young girls will have sleepless nights after watching him. His dances need to have a special mention. He was good in Taxi Taxi and amazingly superb in Makathika.
He is the best in town and will remain the best and yes I am proud to say Mahesh acted in Khaaleja and yes its just not Khaaleja, it is 'Mahesh' Khaaleja.
Anushka: Anushka looked good on screen but she put on lot of weight. Though she had good screen presence she was limited and completely dominated by Mahesh.
Prakash Raj: it wouldn't be too intelligent to comment on this national award winner. Should say he has done PhD in these kind of roles, but he was outstanding in the climax.
Shafi: Shafi was awesome. He was excellent when he uttered a slokam/padhyam before Sada Siva Song. He is one of the finest performers we have in tollywood and certainly lived upto expectations.
Rao Ramesh: He was good. He was teriffic in the opening scene and the climax scene.
Sunil, Ali, Brahmanandam evoked laughs. Rest of them were all okay.
Music:
I am not going to speak anything about the audio, since i have already written a review on the Album. Mani was at his usual best with the Back ground score, though his back ground music cannot be compared to Athadu, he has given awesome BG for the introduction scene, Mahesh introduction fight, Interval episode, Medical camp fight and climax.
Picturisation of Songs:
1. Piliche
2. Boomshakanaka
3. Sada Siva
4. Makathika
5. Taxi Taxi
6. Sunday Monday
Fights:
If i were to pick the best fight sequences in recent times, i would pick the interval block without any hesitation. After the interval block fight i personally felt the fight at the Medical camp and petrol bunk were outstanding. Climax fight was given a completely new treatment and should say i liked it.
Photography:
The next best thing after Mahesh performance and trivikram dialogues will be photography. Sunil patel and yash bhatt had done an amazing work for the movie. The complete Rajasthan episode, the villagers scenes and climax were shot in an amazing manner. I would rate piliche as one of the best shot song in recent times. Sada siva and boomshakanaka were also shot amazingly.
Choreography:
I loved the choreography for Piliche, Oh my God how pleasant it looked!!! It had simple steps but simply loved the song on screen. It had such a top-notch choreography. Next comes Makathika, as a Mahesh fan i am completely more than satisfied with this song. Mahesh was at his best in this song. Simple ga cheppali ante kummi para dobbadu. The next best would be Taxi, Taxi, Loved it. Just felt Sunday Monday could have shot better with better choreography, The only thing that I did not like in the entire movie.
My preference in order
1. Piliche
2. Makathika
3. Taxi Taxi
4. Boom Shakanaka
5. Sunday Monday (I Hate mentioning it
)
Production:
No-Comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dialogues:
Do i dare to comment Trivikram's dialogue work, atleast not for this movie. He is at his usual best, be it comedy, sentiment or action, he mastered each and every single scene. There were few dialogues which I would like to mention.
1. Adbutham jarige mundu evaru gurtincharu, jarigaka gurthinchalsina avasaram ledu.
2. idi nee Darsanam, idi nidarsanam
3. Dialogues where shafi explains Mahesh about pandu-chettu
4. Mahesh comedy dialogues, each and every line is brilliant.
Story - Screenplay - Direction
Story is simple, screen play is good and Direction is Trivikram's best work till date. You can see Trivikram's class in each and every scene. There isn't single scene where i felt bore. Its not because of Mahesh, I enjoyed each and every moment I am in theater.
Devo Manushya Roopena :: ante Manishi roopam lo vunna devudu kaadu, Manishi loni Devudu ani kuda cheppukovachu.
Signing off on a simple note "For me this is Mahesh's next best after Okkadu, my all time Fav and trivikram's best till date".
Thought of writing this after I have watched it for the first time, but I am shocked, shattered and suprised to see different opinions revolving in the web, then i just wanted to make sure i do not write crap just because it had Mahesh in the movie. I watched it for the second time and trust me, there isn't single scene i felt like "common, now go to next scene".
Cinema nachani vallu malla inkosari vellandi, I am sure you will like it. Ishtam lekapothe DVD release ayyaka movie chudandi, it would def. be one of the good movies you have missed for various reasons.
My Rating :: 4.25/5
