Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020) Movie Review

Finally, after a week's wait I got to see Sarileru Neekevvvaru. Oh My God, the craze for this film is huge across India as it was a house full today. The film has got such expectations. The craziest combination of Anil Ravipudi, the person behind some of the biggest hits like F2, Supreme, Raja The Great and Pataas and Super Star Mahesh Babu, freaking acting time bomb. Use him well and you get a Dookudu, Okkadu or a Srimanthudu(I AM NOT A FAN OF SSMB). So, did this combination work or not. Let's see.
Sarileru Neekevvaru is a 2020 mass masala comedy entertainer starring Super Star Mahesh Babu, Rashmika Mandanna, Vishwanatabharati Vijayashanti and Prakash Raj in lead roles. The story revolves Major Ajay Krishna and his journey to Kurnool and rest is how and why he confronts Minister Nagendra.

The story and screenplay of Anil Ravipudi has its own unique style. The unique mannerisms given to each and every character, well paced screenplay, an intricately placed commercial full meals are just some of the unique qualities. This film too has every thing the same way. Just that, because it is Mahesh Babu in the lead role, he took the risk of adding every element of offering in the script. You have the military backdrop itself which is very good(IF YOU SAW VENKY MAMA AND ITS ABOMINATION). The foundation is well set in the first 25 minutes but the much anticipated train track was not as good as the other Anil Ravipudi comedy tracks(F2's MARRIAGE TRACK BEING THE BEST). But, at the interval bang, I understood the second half of the movie and man it is so good. Ask me and I would go to such extent of saying this is the best full meals I ever had in quite some time. The scenes with SSMB, Vijayashanti and Prakash Raj are simply the best of the film where villainism, humour, seriousness is woven together very well. The Ramana-load scene is one of my favourites but I wanna know what does that viral dialogue essentially mean. Comment me below in the comments section below. The scene where SSMB puts a bomb and threatens the politicians, that is a treat. The pre-climax of the movie is very goosebumps worthy as the army song plays along.  The climax is a very apt end to an entertaining ride.

The acting of the movie is top-notch. The director extracts the best out of each character. But, Rao Ramesh has been under-utilised. Maybe, a little more clarity and it would have been cleared out.
 The technical aspects are top notch. DSP's music is a letdown though(BEING A DIE HARD FAN OF HIM), seems like he tried hard but the magic did not come out though. Cinematography by well known face Rathnavelu is awesome. Editing, is very good despite the runtime being close to 3 hours. BGM is very good. The production values look very rich. I forgot to mention about the choreography. This is undoubtedly the best dancing performance by SSMB

Overall, if you ask me this is the perfect film for SSMB fans. For me, it is a full meals with a little off starters but its okay as the movie is worthy of a theatre watch and it will definitely be a double blast on TV. I am waiting for its release on amazon prime now.

iMDB Rating: 7.5/10
My Rating: 8.75/10
