I watched Athadu for the first time when it's Malayalam dubbed version was telecast on TV. I watched the whole film. After the running time,when the movie ended I too became a Mahesh Babu fan.If a single movie can make one crazy about the star then that. Movie must be special one. Yes Athadu is my most favorite film.I believed that Telugu films can't give anything new rather than heroism. But movies like Athadu changes my perspective. This is really a TRIVIKRAM& MAHESH BABU MAGIC. The story line goes like it. Nandu(Mahesh) is an orphan who entered the world of crime at a young age. He went on to become a sharp shooter. He was hired by a politician in order to create a dummy assassination scenario.But things got out of the hands when the politician is murdered really by another mysterious gunshot. The police hunts for Nandu who enters a train to escape. He meets Parthu,a A man returning to his village a after several years. Due to an accident Parthu got killed by the police. Nandu escapes.Nandu takes Paarthhu's identity and travels to Parthu's village. The rest of the story tells about the happenings in Parthu's house. The various questions the viewer may have are answered by trivikram in his own unique way. He has chosen a Hollywood kind of flick which Has all the ingredients for making the viewer involve in it. He has introduced and placed all the characters neatly. A unique kind of music too is included to give more depth to the thriller.The dialogues were mind blowing. More than punch dialogues,intelligent dialogues really touched me a lot. Mahesh Babu- Why did I never know him before? He has portrayed his double role kind of character to extreme perfection. He never over acted in any scene. Trisha character is an innocent village girl.Her chemistry with Mahesh looked very fresh on screen. Nassar played the role of the grandfather in a very natural manner.Prakash Raj played a kind of anti hero in the film. He did a terrific job. There is a very good supporting team for the team. The members of thee joint family really did fine job. The film have a good technical staff. The cinematography was special. The editing was sharp.The BGM was great. The songs were all together good. Well pictured songs. I particularly liked Mahesh's intro song. The fights was choreographed in a different manner. Only thing I disagree about the film is about the comedy track inn 2ndd half.There as no need of it when the film was getting tighter. Athadu is overall a brilliant mixture of commerce with family values. Heart touching dialogues in the climax scenes were really good. The suspense delivered by director was terrific. He mixed logic to the story very well. I don't think that this kind of superb stuff will be repeated in any industries. ATHADU is terrific ATHADU is mind blowing. ATHADU is superb ATHADU is brilliant Anymore words??to describe its brilliancy
The film starts with a note of suspense, with the local party leader getting killed by the hero. The film is about how he finds the actual culprit. In the process, he gets into a lovable family and loves the hospitality shown by the members of the family. The film has an excellent cast with everyone preforming their role with sensibility. The act of Mahesh Babu and Prakash Raj is note-worthy. although, the film starts off with a sequence of criminal acts, it enters into a family drama afterwards. Thrivikram has done an excellent job with his dialogues. He also earned good name with his directional skills. As a whole, its a worth watch film for everyone. Already it has bagged good part of audience and hope it continues
