Why do some people call this movie a Hollywood level. I am sure they lack knowledge about Indian Cinema. It's time they realize what Indian Cinema is capable of.1. Nenokkadine was awesome movie. Creative idea by Sukumar and awesome performance by Mahesh and Kriti and the rest of the team.It's a Telugu movie after-all and the use of English language should be minimized. Yeh I do realize it's shot abroad too. The songs tile Who Are You and You're My Love is not tempting. The first song of the movie Who Are You lyrics does not sound so nice but the music is good. Could have done better lyrics. Indian Cinema contributes a lot in sustaining culture and living styles. It was very energetic and appealing performance by Mahesh on stage.When on stage Mahesh notices the pony tail guy, he jumps off and follows him. At that point maybe the pony tail guys face should not have been revealed. Seeing sudden change in the Rockstar's (Mahesh) mood and jumping off the stage without knowing what went wrong with him would be more interesting. More suspense, more interesting. It's just a maybe from my side. Already many people find the story line complicated. They need to pay more attention while watching.Actually, the screen play/story-line of the movie is not complicated but is CAPTIVATING. Really good work by Sukumar.Kriti, a new face in the Industry, did perform well. She looks beautiful with that skin glow and especially height.I myself enjoyed this movie and watched several times. Yes we have seen Mahesh in such action movies before such as Pokiri. Whether the movie setup is interior village style or town/city, Mahesh in serious action just hits the records hard.It was a Great movie. Shukriya to the whole team and really wish to see Mahesh in such movies soon.

Sukumar has a way of writing his hero's character. What was evident in Arya, Jagadam, Arya-2 and 100% Love is on display in 1- Nenokkadine, too. The big difference between his remarkably fresh films of yesterday and his latest commercial film of today is to be mentioned at the outset, lest the audience expect novelty, only to come out tad disappointed. 1 is perhaps Sukumar's first formula film that has the capability to tank without a trace if Mahesh Babu's character did not come with a difference. It's Sukumar's hero who is the saving grace, and the rest of the film (mostly, it seems all about chases and attacks - real or imaginary) is like a Xerox copy of Hollywood films.Gautham (Mahesh Babu) is a self-tormented rock star. Haunted by a macabre past and living with an uncertain future, he is at a loss to differentiate reality from hallucination, truth from self-delusion. His roller coaster journey, full of bumps and confusions, begins to unravel as he is deliberately shadowed by an intrepid journalist (Kriti Sanon).Sukumar's heroes, for all their inner turmoil, long for love. Gautham, in the process of discovering himself and his past, falls for the heroine and the revenge story gradually develops an emotional undercurrent of its own.The agonized life of Gautham receives help from the Juno, who is sympathetic of her idol's psychological disorder. Like in all revenge stories, the lives of the two are intertwined.Although a gripping storyline (given that it is a mix of psychological thriller elements and Hollywoodish plot), Sukumar's narration falls short of expectations. The length adds to our woes, so much so one feels like one's patience is being tested.The stage is set for an exciting film when Gautham surrenders before the police, claiming that he has avenged the death of his parents by murdering three cold-blooded murderers. Reminding us of umpteen slick Hollywood action-psychological dramas, the story introduces the angle of a disorder from which the hero is suffering. The film comes into its own only during the interval bang. Kriti's drama keeps us guessing, but the scenes in Goa are not exciting. Barring flashes of brilliance here and there, there is nothing home to write about.The best scene of the film, undoubtedly, is the interval bang. It's one scene where the dialogue is at witty its best, Mahesh is at his acting best and the screenplay is at its nimble best.The second half's chases and fights are forgettable, as there is not much in terms of mind games or novelty. Peter Heines lets us down with is run-of-the-mill action choreography.There is only one scene in which the tormented hero evolves to be one step ahead of his rivals and it's a treat to watch. The twist involving Nasser and Pradeep Rawat is another high point. Sadly, Sukumar seems to have given into the demands of formula by inserting Sophie Chowdhary's 'London Babu' song, which makes the pace slacken and the film look tad mundane.Fittingly, Sukumar has delivered a lengthy film without a parallel comedy track. The few laughs which Mahesh evokes is entirely situational and it is to the credit of the script that Mahesh makes us smile even while undergoing trauma.Amid regular chases and attacks, there is Posani Krishna Murali as a Sardarji.Barring flashes of brilliance shown by Mahesh, there is not much in terms of the artistic content. Kriti is not a treat to watch, albeit she has got those exceptional looks to be a stylish actress. Sukumar should have worked on making Mahesh look markedly different Pr and post the death of his confusion.
