Mahesh Babu is back after a hiatus and the expectations have been high on this 'Khaleja'. Given the title controversy, the mileage was sufficient.Story Sitarama Raju (Mahesh) is a taxi driver who comes to Rajasthan searching for a person's family. He chances upon Gemini TV person (Sunil) and reveals his story of coming there.This also includes his encounters with Subhashini (Anushka) whose presence brings in bad luck and loss. On the other hand, there is Siddhappa (Shafi) who is sent by his guru (Rao Ramesh) in search of a god sent man who can protect the village from a death threat and extinction.One thing happens after the other and Sitarama Raju comes across Siddhappa who believes that Raju is the man. Meanwhile, Subhashini's father (Tanikella) is planning to get her engaged to the son of GK (Prakashraj) who has got a motive behind it. How are all these people connected and what happens after that forms the rest of the story.Performances Mahesh Babu is a complete show stealer in the film. He is highly energetic and his dialogue delivery stands apart. Unlike his regular mild approach with one liners, he rolls out flurry of words and entertains. As for his looks, he is handsome as ever and has made his presence felt strongly.Anushka looks gorgeous and special focus has been made on her legs when it comes to dialogs. Her screen chemistry with Mahesh was neat and not much of a skin show from her this time.Prakashraj was brief and he did his bit as required. Perhaps the etching of his character should have been more powerful. That would have given strength to the villain image and good climax.The comedy track of Ali, Sunil gave few laughs. Brahmi was funny at few places, Tanikella was elegant, Subbaraju made his presence felt, Rao Ramesh was excellent, Shafi was impressive, Dharmavarapu and M S were brief. The others did their bit as required.Analysis: "One who lives for his own self is considered to be dead. One who lives for others with unselfishness and love live forever" – Swami VivekanandaThis is the crux of the movie that knocks the doors of every heart.How GK (Prakash Raj) leads his life with selfishness and how he breathes his last with pain and grief. How the villager Sidhdhappa (Shafi) holds faith in God and dies a painless death with pride filled eyes. How Raju (Mahesh) manifests God in himself with unselfishness and true love for others. The above three aspects build the ulterior message in the film. There is a symbolic scene of man's connection with God which holds conviction. When our hero asks for Rs 10 for himself, his wish will not be fulfilled. And when he asks the same Rs 10 with a wish to feed a hungry boy, the donor gives him Rs 100 and goes. Only unselfishness can see the bountiful God. Mahesh Babu says in a dialogue here, "I understood God. He is not hiding anywhere. He is there in every heart. He fulfills wishes only when asked for the well being of others. What the hell Rs 100 when asked for Rs 10
he will shower even lacks and cores". This message is packaged and delivered with all commercial elements.The interesting part of the film is that hero never fights for his selfish possessiveness on heroine. He never fights to gain supremacy on villains. He fights only for the lives of others. Hence he becomes God.But how Trivikram dealt his narration in bringing this story on to celluloid? How the aspects those really matter for the success of the movie are placed? The music is good but only 'sada Siva' is truly hitting the senses of audiences. That number takes position-1 among all the songs. 'Makathika Maya..' is OK to some extent. The song on Lord Krishna sounds good. Others are mundane. Background score is average.First half is dealt with humor and the actual story starts only after 1 and half hours. Mahesh Babu made the movie hilarious with his typical dialogue delivery never seen before. Second half has some real material. Humor element continues here as well. But emotion elements are forced but not convincing enough. Trivikram seems to have inspired by 'Magadheera' with Rao Ramesh's part. Brahmanandam has got very small role. Sunil entertained very well. Anushka's iron-body characterization is also interesting.Coming to screenplay, that is a bit complicated. Audiences find it a bit difficult to get connected. The introduction shot of Mahesh Babu is weak. The dialogs are good but here and there missed the grip and not up to the expectation. But on a whole the Trivikram-factor worked for this.To sign off, watch the movie at your leisure, get entertained and also try to take some message into your life that can bring in some change in you and society.Bottom-Line: Watch it without expectations

first of all the movie is a very good entertainer in terms of humor and screenplay. Director excelled in the way he narrates the definition of GOD. In the film, its not just Raju(Mahesh Babu) realizes he is God, but the audience also realize that God is within everybody. Apart from the above take away, the screenplay and comedy with Sunil and Ali on screen is a pleasure to watch.Trivikram had his gripping style of narration through out which makes time flew.A must watch.

Mahesh Khaleja movie is simply superb n Mahesh acted in different angles.Direction of Trivikram is extraordinary.Lot of Mahesh fans are expected more from him and he reached that and fans are very happy with his performance.the 1st half runs as superb entertainment and the second half is all the Audians are involved into the story.Both in first half and second half Mahesh is so cute.The title Khaleja is very much suit for the movie.In the movie Anushka performance is also extraordinary.Some places coming the divide talk also but after some days it will be rocks.But over all Mahesh Khaleja is positive talk.And in the movie Prakashraj acted well and the main drawback is songs but back ground score is very high.So its a slow pickups and Mahesh will be rocks.

I don't know why this movie is not interesting, still every one in the movie are amazing...hero, heroin, comedians and villain.Mahesh is Good @ his part of the movie with out story. He himself don't understand why he is doing the movie till end of the movie.Anuska also played her role well. comedy part is Gd.nice script could made movie better.Though there is gr8 kick start with MAHESH, movie did not go well later part. nothing to takeaway from the movie to home.Here and there scenes are Good but did not carried entire movie. Please don't go with high expectations definitely you will be discouraged
