review : Mega Mass Commercial Entertainer.
My rating : 3.5/5
Performances :
Megastar Chiranjeevi is well known for his own style, swag, and screen presence. His body language and dialogue delivery in all his films usually has his own style. But โAcharyaโ offers the audience a completely different and unique Chiru on screen. The actor completely surrenders to the role created by Koratala Siva and tries to give best to it. Chiranjeevi is so involved in the character which makes the Megastar look even better on screen. A Mega fan will surely enjoy the trademark mannerisms and dance moves of the Megastar.
Ram Charan delivers another strong and impactful performance after โRRRโ. Siddha in โAcharyaโ is equally strong to Rama Raju. He is the show stealer with his intense performance. As said during the promotions by Chiru and Siva, it is so apt to pick Ram Charan as Siddha, and the same was delivered by Charan too letting the audience feel the same. The emotional bonding between Charan and Chiru off screen reflected so perfectly on screen.
The graceful dances of both Chiru and Charan in the Bhale Banjara song remain a treat to watch. The song looks interesting and attractive just because they both dance in perfect sync.
Pooja Hegde can be seen as the love interest of Ram Charan. She looks gorgeous and well suitable to the character Neelambari. Poojaโs chemistry with Charan looks so fresh on-screen.
Sonu Sood got a typical villain role and he did what was expected from him. Nassar, Jisshu Sen Gupta, and Satyadev got limited roles while Tanikella Bharani and Ajay are not utilized properly. Regina Cassandra oozed with glamor in the special song.
Mahesh Babu powered the film with his voice-over.
Technical values :
Director Koratala Siva, he has done just a passable job with the film. Koratala has elevated the scenes between Chiru and Charan in a superb way and pleased the fans.
Koratala Screenwriting and the presentation of the lead characters are the two major strengths of Koratala Sivaโs films always. Siva managed to repeat the same with Acharya. The characters Acharya and Siddha are the two strong pillars of the movie. Even though the storyline is much predictable, the presentation of the characters and other story elements perfectly worked out.
Mani Sharma needs to be complimented a lot for making a perfect comeback with his most hit delivering partner Chiru. Mani once again proved that his combination with Chiru is always a blockbuster one. The songs โLaahe Laaheโ and โBhale Bhale Banjaraโ came out very nice. The background score should be appreciated.
Ram Laxman Stunt choreography is excellent.
The film has a stunning production design. The temple set worth crores of rupees is grand. The visual effects have further added richness to the visuals. The cinematography and production design are the main highlights of this movie.
