Vihari_Krishna Balakrishna is one among the most celebrated heroes in Telugu, of all time. But he is seen facing big setbacks post 2000s. Most of his ventures failed to taste success, with exceptions like "Laksmi Narasimha" (To some extent) and "Simha". Simha was a big relief for Balayya and again none of his movies which released post "Simha" became successful. So again Balayya joined hands with Simha director Boyapati Seenu for another Action entertainer.The story is pretty routine. Screenplay is nice though. Direction by Boyapati Seenu is excellent in few scenes and average in rest. He conceived sentiment scenes and buildup scenes nicely and failed in repeating the same in fillers. First half is not up-to the mark while the Second half is partly good. Climax is the biggest drawback. Though there is some buildup provided for Jagapathi babu from the beginning, he is seen not counter attacking in the climax. His character graph goes down substantially in the Climax.Music by Devi Sri Prasad is POOR. Except for the title song (which is a recycled version of many songs) NO song is good on ears. Background score is okay in few buildup scenes but is again poor in others. Devi Sri Prasad has to shed his own limitations and experiment at least a bit, or else he'll be forgotten in near future.Dialogues are adequate. Locations are nice and photography is neat.Coming to the performances, Balayya is nice in "Jaidev" role and looks artificial in "Krishna" role. He did utter some powerful dialogs to satisfy his fans. Balakrishna should refuse doing characters like "Krishna", which are definitely not his forte. Even he looks old in that young role. Jagapathi Babu is terrific. His white beard, dialog delivery, careless attitude in his eyes all combinedly create a fantastic impact on viewers. But his character is made extremely weak in the climax. The director might have given some scope and elevation to Jagapathi Babu's character in the climax. Others are just okay. Comedy is pathetic.On a whole, "Legend" has some strong points like Balakrishna, Jagapathi Babu, nice hero buildup scenes and good sentimental scenes but it has its own share of drawbacks too. Climax comes and goes off in a blink. You don't even feel/realize that the movie is over. Watch it for Balakrishna and Jagapathi Babu.

Kumar One of the few movies which you do not want to miss... After a long time , Balakrishna has got an opportunity to bring the actor in him to the silver screen and fans celebrated the great festival....Great work by Boyapati.. His choice of keeping Jagapati babu was excellent. Never realized that jagapati can act so wonderful even in a negative role.Backbone to the movie is only Balakrishna's action and dialogs timings. I felt the first half songs were boring, and every one was just waiting to see the LEGEND... But Balayya seem to worked very hard in putting up a good dance show even. Overall a great complete movie .. Thanks to Balakrishna, Jagapathi & Boyapati.

The incredibly talented actor has done his part with total dedication. Radhika Apte did well her bit of histrionics. The footage given to her in this film is very small. But she enthralls the viewers with his limited role.Positives : * Legend is a romantic action entertainer with all commercial ingredients. Balakrishna's electrifying performance is the main highlight in the movie. He impresses the viewers with his unique dialog's diction, action and dance moves. * Radhika Apte has also done her best and her chemistry with Balayya which is good to watch on screen. * Jagapathi babu is another big asset of the film. This is really a turning point to him. * Boyapati Srinu's gripping narration with punch dialogs, chosen an interesting story which seems to have been written exclusively for Balayya. He has made it interesting with some surprising twists and turns. He has included all the required elements like action, comedy, family drama and romance. His engrossing narration coupled with wonderful performance and rich production values makes the movie a good entertainer for the Nandamuri fans.
