Dookudu - Movie Review

The 'daring and dashing', Dookudu has surely given its audience what they want - entertainment. Firstly, I need to put some things straight about the movie. This movie is not a brand new movie born during the out-of-the-box thinking of the director. On the contrary, it’s a typical formula movie or rather a typical Seenu Vaitla movie. That said, I would also like to add that this movie is fantastically entertaining with very good screenplay. Although I don't really dig into Telugu Movies, like every other movie goer, I have my requirements for a movie and this movie most definitely met my expectations, albeit unconventionally.

Mahesh Babu, the protagonist, had driven the movie all way along and had given character to all the different emotions the director tapped from him. While his earnest action makes us forgive the unreal stunts the director makes him pull during some of the fight sequences, its his incredible charm that lets us even forget that the heroine is no more than a prop to celebrate music and scenic locations.

The movie is a neat amalgamation of several other famous Tollywood flicks belonging to the same genre. If not for the creativity part, the movie and its crew most definitely deserve appreciation for the incredible honesty and hard work that they put in making the movie. In particular, the punch dialogues throughout the movie are thoroughly and truly enjoyable. Even in a plethora of actors, everyone having their part, seasoned comedians like "Padma Shri" Brahmanandam and MS Narayana stand out.

Though the sizzling item number by Parvati Melton was force fitted into the reels, I was undoubtedly amazed by the fiery raunchiness the actress delivered. While some might say that she was lewd, suggestive and promiscuous and are offended by the song, I, on the contrary attributed the same qualities but felt that the song was heavily sexy and simply fantastic. The retro themed song had it all - the beauty, the booty shake and the music and might be the director's tribute to the yesteryear's eternal stars like Helen.

As I do not want to end up giving spoilers, I'd refrain myself from saying anymore. Nevertheless, I would say that the movie would surely not disappoint you in the comedy front and is worth every penny you spend on it. As it is a movie with a handsome couple and amazing music sprinkled with stunts, item numbers and ample comedy, it cannot possibly go wrong at the Box Office!
