Story
Coming in to the story, Shankar (Mahesh Babu) is an orphan groomed by Raja Rao (Rajendra Prasad). But Raja Rao mistakes Shankar on one occasion and drives him out of the house. Shankar later becomes Encounter Specialist Shankar and gets posted in Bukkapatnam where the atrocities of Damodar (Sonu Sood) is skyrocketing. Damodar wants to build a power project there and goes on elimination spree on those opposing it. Shankar later comes to know about a shocking truth which turns professional rivalry in to personal too. What happens next is the rest of the story.
Performances:
Mahesh Babu did his best, his dialogue modulation was great, he carried the whole movie on his shoulders, he tried to entertain his fans with some fast dance moves, needless to speak about his looks, he looked manly in police outfit.
Tamannah: except for two, three scenes irritated most of the times with over action, her dance moves were good.
Others: Vennela Kishore was wasted, Nazer tried to bring in some laughs along with Mahesh Babu, Posani is the main pillar for the first half, his Potugadu episode entertained, Sonu Soodh was okay, Brahmanandham bought in few laughs towards the climax, especially in the dance spoofs but his comedy was not as expected, others were just there.
Technicians:
Music: Songs were good on screen, Junction lo stands out to be the best of the lot, after a long time Thaman gave the best background score, he complimented dialogues well.
The camera work was neat, Editing was okay, nothing to complain about, Production values were great, the fights were worst.
Plus Points:
Mahesh Babu
Thaman BGM
Tamanah’s sweet’s add comedy, Posani’s MEP episode, Brahmanandham’s dance spoofs, Park scenes.
Few dialogues
All songs.
Interval confrontations between hero and villain.
Negative Points:
Weak story.
Too many dialogues.
Tamanah’s action in few scenes.
Dragged narration in second half.
No proper hero elevation scenes.
Vaitla’s regular confusing comedy track, which didn’t meet the expectations.
Final word: Aagadu is watchable movie, it has few good comedy scenes and Mahesh’s name written all over, don’t expect Dhookudu, go with low expectations. “Content weak ga unnappude publicity peaks lo untadhi.”- dialogue in the film, perfectly apt for the situation.
Aagadu: Good enough to entertain, but not completely.
