dpchandra Mixture of all previous movies. Nothing new. Worst acting by mahesh babu. He tried to act like pawan kalyan in gabbar singh. But he totally failed.Story:- ​​Encounter ​specialist ​Shankar (Mahesh Babu) is posted to a small town called Bukkapattanam. The entire area is dominated by a ​ dreaded don called Damodar (Sonu Sood),​ who runs illegal businesses by threatening the poor. Shankar decides to take ​things in his hands, and starts ​planning ​Damodar's decline. ​Midway through, he comes to know about a shocking truth about Damodar, which relates back to his family. What is that truth ? How does Shankar manage to destroy Damodar​ and his empire ? and Where does Saroja(Tamannah) and Delhi Suri(Brahmanandam) fit in this entire set up ?. To know answers to all these questions, you need to watch the film on big screen. Plus Points:- Aagadu is an out and out Mahesh Babu film. Right from the word go, it ​i​s ​Mahesh's histrionics which dominate the show completely. As usual, Mahesh looks extremely dashing, and carries out his role of ​a cop supremely well. The way he goes about his character, and blends himself into the script​,​ is quite amazing. Interesting factor to watch out for is the fun element that he brings in his character, which is filled with punch dialogues and satires. Tamannah looks gorgeous as the village belle, and is a perfect Jodi for Mahesh Babu. First half of the film is highly entertaining, and brings in a lot of fun. Shruthi Haasan's song is a special bonus to the masses as she oozes ​sensuous charm and glamour. Brahmanandam brings in decent laughs in the second half, and his dance episode in particular is quite hilarious. ​ ​ ​ Nasser ​is superb as the police constable​,​​ and his scenes with Mahesh and Vennela Kishore have come out quite well. ​S​ongs ​are entertaining and ​have also been shot well​. Rajendra Prasad, Posani and Ashish Vidhyardhi are decent in their respective roles. ​M​inus Points:- As expected, even Aagadu has the same trademark Sreenu Vaitla set up and comedy. The entire second half has been spoofed on his earlier films like Dookudu. Once the so called twists are unleashed, the film becomes predictable.

sesht Director Srinu Vytla, like most Tollywood directors, is excessively fond of excess, dipping into his own box of formula cookies (Dhee, Ready, Dookudu), and finding the so-called plot for this latest venture, which, some say, should've been called Dookudutu (Dookudu 2, get it?). Now, I'm not a fan of Dookudu, preferring instead to re-watch the entertaining portions of his earlier flicks, which are, by far, decent Tollywood fare, and hear me out now, for this is pure gospel for those uninitiated in the Tollywood ways - one can achieve this feat, provided one has set their expectations to digesting the piles of superhero-crap that's dished out by the screenplay at regular intervals, something that's a staple in almost all of Tollywood cinema, regardless of who they choose to cast - unexplained, irrelevant heroics that have naught to do with any law of physics or logic or coherence. I always reset my expectations to said level before trying to sit thru one of these escapist fares, so bear with me if you do decide to watch this one, or any other one of its ilk after reading this piece. Now, for the flick. As I mentioned once above, I am NOT a fan of 'Dookudu'. So, how did I think this one compared against that, which almost had a template for this one to fill in? This one, by far, in my opinion, far outdoes former, esp. since it gives the protagonist so much more to say and do, and that responsibility rests easy on the hero's not- so-young(anymore) shoulders. He's in every frame, and laps up the attention, gets greedy for more, and says and does everything to ensure he keeps that position, and stays in frame while doing so. His dialogue- delivery and diction are the tools he's set to making his goal on this one, and boy do they rise up to his challenge admirably. That element was sorely needed in 'Dookudu', but wasn't present in the least (though another underrated flick, 'Khaleja', had it in spades).Now, bear with me once again, since I'm going to ignore all that's wrong with this flick, since those variables are the ones gone permanently wrong in every Tollywood flick anyway. The sequences where the main lead monologues incessantly (thee title should've given everyone a clue, but apparently not to few), the quirk that sets each of the other support characters apart (one being a database of human profiles, another being offensively of a particular character type that's a gross insult to their entire community, esp. since its played for cruel laughs, yet another being a power broker of sorts who apparently can't get it when he's being played, yet another being so completely corrupt that he has his colleagues and reportees kowtow to his every weird/personal whim - the list doesn't quite end there) and the route taken to reach the final denouement make this one hell of an entertainer, though it takes twice as long to reach that goal. On a side note, the producers, after making this and 'Dookudu', should really think about their name, since nothing ever gets completed in 14 reels. Also, in a movie of this sort, it seems as though the editor was not allowed to trim the material to ensure shorter run-time. Plus, in a movie of this length, what is the need for song-and-dance-routines? I'll never 'get' that, but then I'm in a minority over here.For what it's worth, this is a decent watch, provided one (re)sets their expectations as advised earlier, and prepares to enjoy the lead's monologuing almost all of the way.

karnatisuman Watched the movie on first day with full house in Hyderabad. Movie begins with Rajendraprasad as Police officer. Mahesh character name is Encounter Shankar. First half of the movie was extraordinary with mahesh superb punch dialogues, superb comedy tracks, Raghu Babu, Siddhappa Seenu and Posani's Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu spoof is super hilarious, soft family emotional scenes and peppy songs with incredible picturization. Second half starts with mahesh brother's family death flashback revealed by rajendarprasad. Mahesh stars strategic game with villains. Entertainment quotient is very high compared to first half. Brahmanandam steals the show in second half comedy. Parody dances by Brahmanandam in the pre-climax was hilarious. Nassar comedy was good. Ashish Vidyarthi did a fairly good job as gay. Tamanna got a limited role she looks good in songs. Sonu sood is prefect as villain for mahesh movies.Over all Aagadu movie was nice to watch n enjoy. First half is blockbuster and second half is superhit.

Pruthvi Sagar Totally Mahesh's A One Man Show.Plus: Mahesh looks extremely dashing, and carries out his role of ​a cop supremely well.The way he goes about his character, and blends himself into the script​,​ is quite amazing.Negative: Aagadu has the same trademark Sreenu Vaitla set up and comedy of Past movies like Dookudu and Badshaw.Every Scene of the film is predictable. Climax of the film is quite simple, and is just hurried on to us.Overall: With Aagadu, Mahesh Babu once again proves his super stardom. Right from the word go, it is Mahesh, Mahesh and only Mahesh throughout the film. Even though this film has routine similarities to Vaitla's previous flicks, entertaining comedy in the first half coupled with some decent music makes this film an​ OK​ ​family entertainer.
