Arjun Reddy

“Arjun Reddy” is a class act from Vijay Devarakonda, as he has put his blood and soul into the character. He showcases how good a performer he is. He is not just another handsome guy, he is also a performer and he holds the movie from the beginning and he goes through many transformations as the story progresses.

On the whole, watch this film as it completely reinvents the youthful love story genre. It doesn’t appeal to all kinds of people as it is not told in a conventional way. Mainly youth and audiences who are game for new things will connect with the film.

Whether the film ends up as a box office scorcher or not, the movie has definitely established Vijay Devarakonda and also introduces a new talented director to Tollywood.

Vijay Devarakonda stuns you with his performance which is surely award winning. The way he brings the pathos and pain in his character is something else and drives the film completely.

Debutante Shalini is also impressive and does her role perfectly. Special mention should go to Rahul Ramakrishna who plays the hero’s close friend. He is a good find and emotes superbly.

Arjun Reddy is a new age Telugu cinema which has never been attempted before. It is intense, hard-hitting and quite adulterated with its intent. The youth will surely love this break-up saga which single handedly relies on Vijay Devarakonda’s stand out performance. This is not a family film and the masses might disown it. But the film will surely do well at A centers. All those who like different films and can bear three hours of run time, this film ends up as a pretty good watch this weekend.

Vijay Devarakonda is a natural talent. He doesn't try too hard to act. He keeps it simple irrespective of the complexities of the character he plays. That makes Arjun Reddy even a compelling character.

Kalyani did well, especially in the emotional sequences. Kanchana as the grandmother is very impressive. Ramakrishna did a fine job as the close buddy of Arjun Reddy. Sanjay and Kamal are neat as father and brother of Arjun respectively.

Arjun Reddy is not a film for everyone. It is not the film for typical cinema goer who likes to watch dances and fights. Also, it is a strict no-no for kids as it is loaded with adult content and dialogue. Arjun Reddy is an unconventional film that breaks the norms of a typical Tollywood-romance. It is a realistic take on love and life.
