I've watched the movie after 4 years of its release. The movie is very nice. 'Selavanko' and 'Thuhi hai Thuhi' are very heart touching songs and I loved it. I've watched the hindi dubbed version of the movie as I don't know Telugu and I'm from Assam. Adah and Nithiin both did very good job. Their acting was very good. Hayathi's(Adah) love for Varun(Nithiin) was very heart touching. I liked this part the most. The 2 songs which I have mentioned are very nice and their music is very heart touching. I loved it. Wonderful

Heart Attack is a 2014 romance-action entertainer starring Nithin and Adah Sharma. The film also features Brahmanandam, Ali and Prakash Raj in a small role.It's not that Heart Attack isn't entertaining. I was fairly entertained throughout the film. I enjoyed Nithin and Adah's performance. It's just that Heart Attack has taken unrealism in Telugu films to another level.Get this, Varun, a guy that has no money and sleeps on the streets can afford flights to different European countries and a flight to India. Everyone in Spain speaks Telugu. Everyone in Romania speaks Telugu. And everyone in Goa speaks Telugu. You can find a job on Craigslist in mere minutes. In fact, you can find someone to do your dirty jobs and someone to find your abducted daughter on Craigslist in mere minutes. If you need a job all you have to post on Craigslist is "My name is…. I need a job" and someone will respond soon.A supporting actor develops paralysis from a few blows to the spinal cord whereas the hero takes many blows to the same areas without anything happening. We used to think that Russian women were often the victims of human trafficking, that they were abducted and sold to other countries from Russia. It turns out that women in Goa are abducted by human traffickers and sent to Russia instead. And when such women are abducted and drugged in captivity until they are sent to other places, it is important to decorate the place they are staying with many candles to create a romantic ambiance. And if you want to find out more about these criminals, you can use your friend's girlfriend as bait by sending her on a beach in a bikini and wait for her to be abducted. Oh wait, let's not forget the biggest one of all, it is apparently possible to kiss non-stop for one hour and forty-three minutes. Although I must say that it was a very creative way to do that kissing scene without the actors actually kissing.The strange part is that despite all these fairly ridiculous things happening in the film, it just makes everything funnier and more entertaining. Initially, the film had reminded me a little of Iddarammayilatho due to European locales and how the story began. But Heart Attack is better than Iddarammayilatho. And since I have mentioned an Allu Arjun film, can someone tell me, am I right in thinking that Nithin and Allu Arjun perform very similarly? Their dialogue delivery is very, very similar, almost the same. This is actually only the third film of Nithin I have seen. I had seen Sye way back when and was very impressed with Nithin at that time. And then I didn't get a chance to see his films for a while. I saw Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde recently and now Heart Attack. Meanwhile, I have basically seen every Allu Arjun film and I'm not sure if these two are inspired from one another or who is mimicking who.In conclusion, Heart Attack is worth a watch if you leave your brain at home and just enjoy. I also like the song "Nuvvante Naaku," very catchy.

Puri Jagannadh, who is well known for his strong screenplay and unique story concept, disappoints with his latest movie. There were ideas that the director wanted to explore however had a difficult time weaving them together. The dialogues were utter crap in some parts of the movie, leaving the audience wondering what happened to the director.The film started off on a interesting note, perking the audience's interest. As the movie progressed, the audience got sucked into the routine love story with dialogues that pretty much made no sense between the hero and heroine. From there, forgetting how he started, the director decided last minute to suddenly include what happened in the beginning of the film and in less than 5 minutes decided to tie up the loose end. Despite the screenplay flaws, there were some plus points. The cinematography was done very well and really showcased Europe beautifully. The songs were peppy and fun. The editing was done well, although the second half of the film was slightly draggy. The director explored a subject that some may consider "taboo" to showcase a more modern approach. This is a unique approach so hats off to the director for making a bold step.In terms of characterization, Nithin, as Varun, was the shining star. Although some of his dialogues were nonsensical, Nithin really embodied his character wholeheartedly. His style and look really matched what the director was thinking. The second person who did justice to their role was Brahmanandam as Iskcon Ramana. The director really spent time exploring the "side story" to spread an important message, which arguably could have been the main plot.Unfortunately, the same cannot be said to the rest of the characters who were pretty much reduced to minor roles. Adah Sharma tried her best, but her character did not really have any scope. We have seen this type of character over and over again and the director should have changed her character to fit in with his line of thinking. Vikramjeet as the villain did a pretty good job, however the director decided not to really focus on developing his character. Ali as the second comedian was not needed.In conclusion, the director did his best to explore a new avenue but failed to be consistent with his thought process.

Heart Attack is high on technical aspects. As said above, Anup Rubens music is a big asset for this film. All the songs are entertaining and make the film lively. Camera work is top notch and captures Spain beautifully. All the songs and fights have been canned stylishly. Dialogues are good and have the trademark Puri style punches. Nithin has been styled wonderfully, and looks handsome with his western looks. The entire first half runs on an interesting screenplay. Puri Jagan manages to showcase the ideologies of today's youth with a simple and interesting love story.On the whole, Heart Attack is one film which will probably boost Nithiin's career. An entertaining first half, and superb performances from Nithin and Adha Sharma will be loved by the youth.
