I've watched many nonsense movies and this one stands out :). Director made sure this is nonsense right from the word 'GO', until 'Shubam' card is displayed. There are no takeaways, messages, feelgood/inspiring factors, but still this movie keeps you glued to the seat with utter nonsense. Superb direction by Anudeep and ultimate performance from all ratnalu [Naveen, Priyadarshi, Rahul, Faria (court scene), Murali Sharma (Last Punch)].

Story is good but performances from hero (lip sync missing at most places), heroin (emotional scenes), and hero's mother (over acting) could have been better. Direction and BGM is not up to the mark (could not keep the movie engaging). Too much of cenimatic liberty (hero lands in Vizag airport with t-shirt, but reaches home in formals. Also, the hospitals are in Vizag, but hero keeps chasing ambulance in Hyderabad) Unnecessary fight sequences in the first half and songs placement are too bad (just adds to the bore and kills any suspense created, thus far) Avoid watching with kids to avoid answering their questions. Villian's performance is too good and something to watch for. Twist in the climax is good too.

AA and Trivikram teamed up yet another time to provide a blockbuster film 'Ala Vaikuntapuram lo'. Story, screenplay, direction, dialogues, music, fight sequences, what not, everything was at its best. The story/narration is so gripping that you'll be glued to your seats till the "Shubam card" pops up. While first half was simply superb, the second half is just mind-blowing. Parady songs portion in the second half, "Stylish star's" dance moves, fight sequences was a treat to the audience. A complete family entertainer and definitely, a Paisa vasool movie... Wish you all a Happy Sankranti...

Similar to F2 and 'Raja the great', Anil's signature comedy is guaranteed. Vijayshanti and prakash Raj convinced in their respective roles. Even though Rashmika's role was little limited, she pulled off very well. Mahesh babu's mass look and comedy sequences with 'Rajendra Prasad', Subba raju/Vennala Kishore, are hilarious. Jaya prakash had only two dialogues (one, which he keeps reapting before the interval and the other, after it) but the timing and delivery style is so good and wonderfully planned that you don't get bored even after listening multiple times... In all, a good family entertainer for this holiday season...
