The reason I say this movie was disappointing is because with such a talented cast and good premise, it still turned out to be a routine Telugu movie with nothing new. I watched this movie wanting to like it, and to an extent I did. Prabhas continues to rise as a Tollywood star and he was great as the lead. Anushka was a good heroine even though she only had about 30 minutes of screen time. Rest of the cast was also good, notably Sathyaraj and Sampath Raj. Songs were OK, some good and some bad. Comedy with Brahmanandam was good, and the overall atmosphere of the movie kept me watching. The main plot, two families at war, is a lot like Romeo and Juliet without the romance, and it is a very thrilling story. I will say this: Mirchi surprised me. I did not like most of the first half , especially the first 20 minutes. But when the twist is revealed at the interval, I really got pulled in to see what would happen.However, there are some problems as well. We get these dumb action scenes throughout the movie with guys with giant machetes flying off the hero. I'm sick and tired off watching these fight scenes, which are meant just to glorify the hero. Bollywood has moved on from this style of action. So why can't Tollywood??? There are a few inconsistencies with the plot as well. When Prabhas says he came back to end the fighting between the 2 families, why the *%$# is he still killing people??? And again we get the classic 5 minute climax in which the conflict is solved by a long speech by the hero while beating up people. I can say that there is some enjoyment to be had in Mirchi but it's not a great movie. I expected more from this movie. Acting, story, and tone were good, and what else can you ask of a movie? From A+ to F, Mirchi gets a C+.
... View MoreI am seriously worried about the falling standards of film makers and film watchers alike.And when someone says mirchi is an awesome movie,i do hope that it is some kind of a joke.What exactly did my dear morons like in this movie? There is nothing new in this movie.Just some touch me not romance and some rowdyism,the same old stinking crap that you've seen countless times.The first scene of the film itself is enough to convince you that there is nothing new here,just the same old crap-the hero is very kindhearted and strong and can beat up twenty people at once and.....must i go on? Come on man,you have got to be kidding me.Wait,there is a twist in the movie,i won't reveal that but i can guarantee you one thing-you will hardly feel it.I mean why the f*** should i care if someone belongs to some family in some stinking village in andhra? And there is a lot of drama after that and you might just confuse the flashback with the present or vice-versa while all this goes on.And finally,everything gets back to normal and the hero's love prevails and by this time,the film must have lulled you to sleep(despite all the sound).

... View MoreTelugu actor Prabhas' much-hyped movie Mirchi, which happens to be the next biggest outing after Rebel, has hit the marque today. Debuntant Koratala Siva, who has earlier penned story and dialogues for several hit films, is turning director with this film, which has soared up the viewers' curiosity to sky high. It surely lives up to their expectations with its sound production elements and good performances by lead actors. Mirchi is a romantic action entertainer, which is rich in commercial aspects. Prabhas' electrifying performance is the main highlight of the movie. Koratala Siva's beautiful story and punch dialogues, Devi Sri Prasad's trendy music, Madhi's beautiful picturisation, amazing choreography of dance and action sequences, Brahmanandam and Raghubabu's comedy, beautiful artwork, costumes and locations are the highlights of the movie. The predictable plot with some outdated and clichéd scenes and weak climax are its drawbacks. Koratala Siva has chosen a good emotional story, which is the paramount of the movie Mirchi. It has fast-paced narration and the director has got good grip over the tempo. The first half of the film has two stunning fights and three songs (two romantic and a title track) and a few comedy sequences, and it has all other masala elements to make you glued to the screens. The fight and twist at interval bang set the tone for the story. The second half is very important. After the interval bang, the movie Mirchi goes into flashback mode and it turns very emotional. The second half has three sentimental, romantic and trendy songs and an amazing fight. The movie reaches the climax with a sad twist, which is heart-wrenching, and should be watched on screen. Jai (Prabhas) is an architect based in Milan, where he falls in love with Manasa (Richa) at first sight. He returns to his village in Palnadu area to reform his violent family background. With the help of bank manager Veera Pratap (Brahmanandam), Jai makes good advancement in winning the appreciation of everyone in Manasa's family. Here unfolds an interesting twist in the story. Jai shares strong connection with a man named Deva (Sathya Raj), who is an arch enemy of Manasa's family. Meanwhile, Manasa also realises that Jai is romantically linked with another woman named Vennela (Anushka). What happens next will form the crux of the story, which should be watched on screen.
