Temper is thoroughly entertaining from start to the end. Its not just a regular popcorn entertainer, its a bold move. Temper deals with a very sensitive and controversial topic that is trending today.I went into the movie expecting it to be another formulaic Puri Jagannadh Cop story, but boy it blew my mind. The way every character binds with the story is fantastic.There is no question in saying that Tarak is arguably the best actor in Telugu film Industry and now I have whole new respect for him. In a career spanning full of stereotypical roles, this one took serious balls to do. The way he transformed from a corrupt cop to standing for a cause was very convincingly done. He killed every single second he was on the screen and specially the entire sequence in the police station gave me electrifying goosebumps.Puri Jagannadh is known for his brutal honesty and a little sarcasm when it comes to sexism, I was a little surprised that he didn't feature any of that in this film and The surprise element he introduced during the climax of the film was amazing. I didn't see that coming.I generally do not care about the songs in a movie, but i kinda liked a couple of songs in this movie. my personal favorite is the title track. Tarak nailed itThe Characters were great, performances were awesome, story was bold, screenplay was gripping and Direction was near perfect.Overall i would say Temper is one of the best Telugu films of this decade. 9/10. re watch guaranteed.

My review may seem clichéd but just expressing what I felt after watching this movie. The movie is briefly about a 100% cunning and criminal minded police officer who teams up with a local and feared gangster. Soon after an incident, Daya changes into a very honest officer. He now goes against Prakash Raj. What happens after this is to be seen. Till this point, the movie is quite normal and is like typical Telugu movie in Puri Jagan's style. The second half does much better and at the end, this film is a thought provoking. Story may be old but is still powerful. Puri's direction is super and NTR's characterization is at peaks. NTR's best comes in this movie and his performance will be lapped up by both masses and class audiences. Overall, it's awesome.

Temper: Sooraj Pattazhy's ReviewSince Nenokkadine, only one telugu movie made me stick to ma seat during its climax. That is Temper. Yes, trendsetter Puri Jagannath is back with the 'actor' in Jr.NTR.|Plot Sub Inspector Daya is a corrupt, brutal and cunning police officer,who is ready to go to any extent for making money. But he is stuck in a gruesome tragedy which opens a new beginning. The plot may seem usual one, but what Puri has is the store is a stunner.|Making Trendsetter is what industry calls Puri Jagannath and Temper justifies it. He not only sets the trend in showing a Telugu hero in a never seen image, but also by offering a sentimental foundation for the script.Vakkatnam Vamsi's story of a corrupt cop transforming is well scripted by the director. The way the movie travels and the unexpected surprises it opens to, really impresses the viewer. The movie is free from unwanted action, bouncing of Hench men and mainly form crap comedies. Still, Temper has the traditional elements of a Telugu entertainer, which pulls it from being a classic. Those small yet unwanted comedies of Ali, Saptagiri and idiotic behaviour of Kajal and Kovai Sarala could've been avoided or taken care of. The songs which come in between creates a great disturbance in the continuity ,even though they are beautifully made. The stunning factor of the movie is its climax. Those penultimate moments of the movie was a scream. Those dialogues and performance of NTR stunned me. I didn't expect such surprises in the movie. Kudos to Puri for making Temper more of a sentimental-socially relevant drama than a time pass entertainer. Had he took care in the first half, Temper would have been a classic. Dialogues were of top class,especially the ones between Posani and NTR about corruption. The ones in court scene too sparks thrill. The movie also raises questions regarding the loops in our law which offers freedom for any criminal to commit crime. The movie also draws light on the corrupt system and problems faced by women. Kudos to Puri Jagannath for including this factor. | Performances Jr NTR proves that the actor in him is still alive. One of the best performances in the recent times and the best form him. Hope he does non-stereo characters of these kind, rather than those in the masala entertainers. His dance moves were amazing as usual.The next notable performance is from Posani. Never expected this form him. Prakash Raj rocks as usual while Tanikella Bharani touches our heart with his short role. Madhurima too exposed good acting skills,whereas Kajal revealed more skin. Kajal was just meant for that and for dancing in songs which come in equal intervals. The roles of Ali and Saptagari were purely unnecessary. There is even no trace of them after a few scenes. | Technical Side Made in a ₹40cr+ budget,the movie was rich and had great visuals. Cinematography by Satyam K Naidu had novel frames, especially at those action sequences. The director's expertise in presenting mass scenes with greater elevation was visible on screen. Songs by Anoop Rubens were good and foot tapping, especially Temper and item songs. BGM by Mani Sharma was good at parts. Had a great mass appeal at certain sequences, while the ones at certain moments seemed familiar. Editing was good. Especially, those non-abusive cuts of torture. Action sequences were clean without more-than-a-human touch. That last fight scene was superb.If we ignore those cliché elements in the first half, Temper is a stunning entertainer,which tops high due to brilliant performance by NTR and Puri's unconventional approach. My Rating: 7.5/10 This Temperature won't be temporary...!Sandhya 35MM at RTC X Roads had a fully packed house with heavy returns for the morning show on 14/2/2015. Thank You,Sooraj

A simple plot narrated in typical Puri Jagannadh's style joined with powerful performance of NTR has shown good impact on the screen, not too many spoilers* ahead, despite lackluster first half the second-half of the movie had a good graph.The film resembles with an age old story and one that's quite similar to the recently released Kalyanram starrer Pataas; however, in this case, the focus is on NTR, who is at ease in his new avatar. NTR has gone through a major makeover in terms of his styling, voice modulation and his new found confidence clearly shows on screen.In the end, Temper comes as a film which was meant for NTR to reinvent himself, for Puri to showcase his style of comeback.
