LOL! So much to unload on this. TL;DR? Summary: This series was a worse crime than what the real Anna did. It is unrelatable. They made the real Anna appear like an entitled brat when in reality, that is far from her character. What is there to appreciate when the corporations who steal from the poor are funding to make an untasteful narrative and TV show on Anna and her financial "crimes"? The irony there is jaw dropping stupidity. Netflix doesn't even pay taxes, but that's not a crime, so weird how that works doesn't it? Now, they are profiting off Anna, hahaha... Explanations: 1) I didn't even know about the so-called "crimes" committed by Anna until I saw promotions for this show. 2) Poor little rich people got "defrauded" by a clever young woman, who with her level of intellect, could have made more money by LEGALLY defrauding the general public--because that's how banks, investors/stock market and the rich and the famous live their lives--but what a shame when a poor woman does it. 3) The "victims" are not actual victims. In no intellectually honest world can Banks ever be victims considering how they invent charges and print money from their rectums all day every day--take "mortgage" for example. ;) 4) What Anna did was only a crime because it affected the filthy rich capitalists of this world--because the wealthy get away with the exact same crimes every second through tax evasions, offshore accounts and other government sanctioned capitalist crimes. 5) The only mistake Anna made was sticking around far too long in one place. She should taken the couple of hundred thousand dollars and moved onto a different place, changed her identity, and continue making the vicious capitalist idiots have a taste of their own medicine. 6) Anna is just another human being who proved the concept of "socialism for the rich; capitalism for the poor". Her "crimes" are an illusion just like Banks when they come to foreclose your homes for not paying mortgage--mortgage which is created from thin air by whatever the nasty capitalists want it to be to continue the process of economic slavery through "minimum wage"---minimum wage is just a more politically correct way of saying "slavery in chains is illegal now so here's a ray of hope with unrealistic minimum wage that won't even pay rent just to keep their masters happy". ;) 7) It's rather ironic though how corporations can now cease her story to profit off from her while the banks pay and bail out the rich at the cost of real taxpayers' money. When the poor lose on investments, we never get a penny back because it's okay when the handful of 1% set the market and decide to make it tip up or down in their favour to milk out as much money as possible. 8) Anna is not a criminal. She made claims, and banks and rich people just blindly trusted her, same way men sexually exploit female people of this world through vicious deception just to make the world believe they "consented". Sex-trafficking is one of the largest blackmarket businesses maintained entirely by psychopathic capitalists.

This film took my breath away. I saw Nani's performance and I could not recognise him from V, in fact, it took me several movies of Nani's to realise he was the antagonist of V I had fallen in love with. He is a very versatile actor. He can be both the antagonist and protagonist. After viewing several of his films for the past near two weeks, I can guarantee that Nani is a phenomenal talent who can invest in adding more character acting with each role to make himself stand out from the herd of "heroes" in South Asian cinema. He has the same piercing look in his eyes as Sivaji Ganesan, I kid you not. Although, Nani can put more effort into the emotional scenes by crying because Sivaji can cry without provocation of solutions and even dry crying. I do find the fight scenes too cheesy at times in many of Nani's films because it was visible he was hanging by threads, literally lol....it did not appear organic in the least, but that is the directors, producers' and fight directors' responsibility, not Nani's. I just can't get over how brilliant an actor Nani is. I really hope Telegu and Tamil and much other South Asian films take advantage of his talent. I am insanely in love with Sai Pallavi as I have been a fan of her for years. She is an amazing talent as well but often given stereotypical female roles that vaguely amount to supporting roles. In another film with Sai Pallavi and Nani, Nani's character was given an overwhelming emotional scene when his sister in law's life was harmed than Sai Pallavi's character is the younger sister of the sister in law (played by Bhumika Chawla). The male centric egotism and irrational heroism is the single most intolerable thing to watch in South Asian cinema. I want Sai Pallavi to be seen as the lead in many films, hopefully this happens sooner than later. She has the same exact classical talent as seen with Nani. I can see Saroja Devi in her talents. It is just a pleasant surprise to see two brilliant actors in a single movie like this. Each of the characters they have played all fits in like a puzzle piece--as in, they were born to play these roles in Shyam Singha Roy. I hope they can have more acting opportunities together and otherwise. Please, Telegu film makers, please...give them proper roles with proper script and character building in future films, do not settle for the garden variety cheap roles. You can create serious films that can be both a drama, action and fantasy but without the cheap elements of special effects. And if you do invest in special effects, ensure the CGI also appears organic instead of making it seem unnatural. Thanks!

less than 30 minutes??? what the hell...??? this series deserves an entire hour and 10 episodes to say the least.

This film was badass from start to finish. Allu Arjun's performance is a masterpiece. I generally get bored of Telegu/Tamil/Malayalam films where the male "swag" comes in slow motion and me being forced to endure the same typical dialogues and stares and pinching and swirling of the moustache...lol...but for this film, it fit in perfectly. The cinematography on the film was excellent and I think that's why I was able to love the gestures I otherwise despise. I only liked 2 of the songs here, the "Oo Solriya Mama" and "Saami Saami". I think when the story and script come together with how accurately perfect the production and direction is, the film becomes harmonious with its themes. We see so many films like Pushpa but none as perfectly timed as Pushpa itself. I only wish that female characters had real lines instead of the garden variety cheap dialogues where their entire character is only an afterthought--so that is the only part of the film I was disappointed in. I hope Part 2 improves on my concerns about dialogues. Sometimes the actions are too repetitive and couple that with the slow-motion nonsense, it became a bore but that is common amongst most south Asian action films, lol. When the main fight scenes are in slow motion, it makes sense because you want to enjoy the destruction of the antagonists, lol...but when insignificant action scenes are also put through slow motion, it makes me want to pull out my phone and play a game until the fight scenes are over. Overall, the film was very enjoyable and beautifully made. You must absolutely watch it.

This was the first film of Nani I have seen. I became a fan after viewing Shyam Singha Roy. I recollected his face somewhere but I could not pinpoint it. I watched "V" and thought what a brilliant an actor Nani was for portraying the antagonist. I did a little Google search and found a list of his films and started viewing them on Amazon and Netflix for the past several days. I've seen maybe 7 different films of his before realizing V was him playing the antagonist and I shot up feeling very excited. I had a crush on him from all the characters he had portrayed lol, I do not know who he is as a man outside the films but his films are very entertaining. :)

This film could have been better if Amazon's subtitles didn't appear to be a random scan through Google Translate. Yah, I'm facepalming. The translation did very little justice to the film. I've watched the entire film however I still feel I was not able to grasp the full capacity of the film because of poor subtitles. It felt like a waste of time. I love Nani and since only recently I've discovered his films, I was playing catchup. The creators of this film should definitely have a talk with Amazon and have real people who know Telegu translate it into its English equivalent. Otherwise, the film was very entertaining. :)
