AAGADU REVIEW

Release date : Sep 19, 2014

Rating : 3.25/5

Director : Srinu Vaitla

Producer : Anil Sunkara, Ram Achanta, Gopichand Achanta

Music Director : S. Thaman

Starring : Mahesh Babu, Tamannaah

The successful combination of Mahesh Babu and Sreenu Vaitla is back ​once again to entertain the audience with Aagadu. Tamannah is cast as the female lead, and 14 Reels are the producers. After a huge round of promotions, the film has opened in over 2000 screenstoday. Let’s now see how the film is.

Story:-
             ​​Encounter ​specialist ​Shankar (Mahesh Babu) is posted to a small town called Bukkapattanam. The entire area is dominated by a ​dreaded don called Damodar (Sonu Sood),​ who runs illegal businesses by threatening the poor. Shankar decides to take ​things in his hands, and starts ​planning ​Damodar’s decline. ​Midway through, he comes to know about a shocking truth about Damodar, which relates back to his family.
What is that truth ? How does Shankar manage to destroy Damodar​ and his empire ? and Where does Saroja(Tamannah) and Delhi Suri(Brahmanandam) fit in this entire set up ?. To know answers to all these questions, you need to watch the film on big screen.

Plus Points:-
                     Aagadu is an out and out Mahesh Babu film. Right from the word go, it ​i​s ​Mahesh’s histrionics which dominate the show completely. As usual, Mahesh looks extremely dashing, and carries out his role of ​a cop supremely well. The way he goes about his character, and blends himself into the script​,​ is quite amazing. Interesting factor to watch out for is the fun e​​lement that he brings in his character, which is filled with punch dialogues and satires.

Tamannah looks gorgeous as the village belle, and is a perfect jodi for Mahesh Babu. First half of the film is highly entertaining, and brings in a lot of fun. Shruthi Haasan’s song is a special bonus to the masses as she oozes ​sensuous charm and glamour. Brahmanandam brings in decent laughs in the second half, and his dance episode in particular is quite hilarious. ​
​ ​
Nasser ​is superb as the police constable​,​​ and his scenes with Mahesh and Vennela Kishore have come out quite well. ​S​ongs ​are entertaining and ​have also been shot well​. RajendraPrasad, Posani and Ashish Vidhyardhi are decent in their respective roles.

​M​inus Points:-
                         As expected, even Aagadu has the same trademark Sreenu Vaitla set up and comedy. The entire second half has been spoofed on his earlier films like Dookudu. Once the so called twists are unleashed, the film becomes predictable.

​Climax of the film is quite simple, and is just hurried on to us. ​​Once again, story and narration of the film is routine, and resembles Sreenu Vaitla’s trademark style. ​Sonu Sood’s negative character is not elevated much, and does not look menacing on screen.

Technical Aspects:-
                                  Music of the film is a huge plus,​ as Thaman has given superb tunes which go with the flow of the film. All the songs have been shot richly and look superb on screen. Dialogues of the film need a special mention. There are enough punches and satires in the ​entire ​film, which will be liked by ​everyone.

Camerawork is quite good. The visuals which were shown in trailers, look even more better on screen. Production values are good as the makers have spen​t lavishly for the film. Sreenu Vaitla ​must be credited for showcasing Mahesh Babu in a super light. He etches an entertaining character for Mahesh, and extracts superb performance from him.

Verdict:-
                ​With Aagadu, Mahesh Babu once again proves his super stardom. Right from the word go, it is Mahesh, Mahesh and only Mahesh throughout the film. Even though this film has routine similarities to Vaitla’s previous flicks, entertaining comedy in the first half coupled with some decent music makes this film a good ​family entertainer.

AAGADU dubbing completed

Not doing film with Shankar:MAHESH

Superstar Mahesh Babu, who is currently awaiting the release of Telugu actioner "Aagadu", has quashed rumours that he's planning to collaborate with filmmaker Shankar for a yet-untitled project.

"Shankar was present at the audio launch of 'Aagadu' (Aug 30) as a chief guest. There was no other special reason for his presence. I'm not doing any film with him. As soon as 'Aagadu' comes out, I'll get busy with my next project," Mahesh told.

Mahesh's next yet-untitled Telugu film with Koratala Siva will go on floors Oct 2.

He also clarified that he'll not be attending the audio launch of Shankar's "I", scheduled to take place Sep 15 here.

"I won't be attending the audio launch of 'I' as I will be busy due to prior commitments. I wish the team best of luck," he said.

Shankar planning film with MAHESH

It must have been a pleasant thing for Mahesh's fans to see one of India's most famous directors Shankar coming in as special guest at Mahesh Babu’s ‘Aagadu’ movie audio release. But what is surprising to know was Shankar's love for our super star.

In spite of being busy Ai post production works Shankar spared time to spend with Aagadu team. And as a guest he also spoke and impressed people. But major part of his speech was praising Mahesh Babu. Shankar said that he has been following Mahesh's movies from 'Okkadu’.

Now film nagar is abuzz with rumors that Shankar is going to team with Mahesh for his next which is why he had come to Hyderabad! 

Earlier Shankar offered Mahesh to act in '3 Idiots’ remake but Mahesh declined the offer. For obvious reasons (requiring to give more than 2 years call sheets) Mahesh may not be in a position to accept Shankar's offers at least at this point of his career. But maybe another five years or so down the line we hope to see the two together in a fantastic project.

MAHESH says 'Aagadu' will be another turning point

Superstar Mahesh Babu, who is gearing up for the release of Telugu actioner "Aagadu", thinks the movie will be another turning point in his career a la his last outing "Dookudu" with filmmaker Sreenu Vaitla.
