I watched this movie nearly 25 timer . no booring i’ll never hesitate to watch this movie.
STORY: Commissioner of Mumbai Police(Nassar) proudly declares that Mumbai is free from mafia as all dons are either retired or working with government. Surya(Mahesh Babu) comes to Mumbai from Hyderabad. His sole aim is become a Mumbai don and make this organized crime a business enterprise throughout India. With his street smartness and corporate strategies, Surya becomes Surya Bhai in no time. The rest of the story is all about the motive behind the who business thing.
MAHESH BABU: Mahesh Babu is at his best when a good characterization is given to him. Mahesh Babu maintained seriousness throughout the film and yet provided entertainment with one-liners/philosophical dialogues(thanks to Puri Jagannath). Mahesh Babu has shown intensity in his performance and dialogue delivery. He has developed a new style of dialogue delivery with Khaleja and he has been using it effectively since then.
OTHERS: Kajal Agarwal is strictly okay. Prakash Raj’s get-up is good and he looks different and performs to the perfection. Sayaji Shinde is good. Nassar is apt. The girl who did the role of heroine’s friend is okay, but her dubbing is uneasy on ears. Brahmaji is cool as follower of hero.
Story - screenplay - direction: Puri Jagan is a director who created a new character with Idiot. He took the hero character close to the youth with an identification factor. He created another character in Pokiri that has no morals and do anything for his selfishness. But that character has a purpose and he beautifully blended the purpose of the character into a family drama at end. In the character of businessman, Puri Jagan has blurred the line between hero and villain. Gone are the days where hero is supposed to be morally correct. Puri Jagan introduces a new character where hero does everything(could be immoral and unethical) to achieve his goal. It’s a brave attempt by Puri Jagan to make a film with single orientation without bothering about format/formula. The characterization of hero is very good, but the motive/conflict point of hero is not convincingly shown in flashback. Certain screenplay techniques are good. Businessman is like Sergio Leone’s cowboy flick with mafia backdrop.
