chapsmack Pokiri has the perfect blend of everything an entertaining movie should have. Powerful dialogs, foot-tapping numbers, cheeky romance, great action sequences, fantastic characterization and a mix of a perfect dose of humor interlaced throughout. The director has also reserved some space of suspense with the plot! All these ingredients make Pokiri a must see for the entire family and not just fans of Mahesh. The cast matches the characters to the tee and every one contributes. You'll probably want to watch the movie more than once just to hear Mahesh's dialogs again. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Hats off to Mr. Puri Jagannath!

v-sriram-1 One great movie with wonderful dialogues, great performances, superb songs and nice screenplay but still can't digest the fact that it has been copied from some French movie.I just happened to browse through some videos in youtube and realized that the hit song devudaa is copied from Ricky Martin's song and when I was browsing related videos I found that this is a straight lift from Banlieue 13.Still all credit to director and Mahesh for such a great display. It has raised Mahesh to next level and people see him as the only guy who can reach to the heights of Chiru

Avinash Patalay To quote Anupam Kher "When a movie becomes a hit, everything about it is appealing". Pokiri should be used as a reference point for utilising all the possible movie-making formula's, however in precise-doses. If you play devil's advocate you will realise that there is no earth-shattering storyline here. In true sense, Pokiri is an ode to the cinema of 70's & 80's. Mahesh Babu:: Gets into the skin of the role. His fan-following would have increased in leaps-and-bounds after Pokiri.Ilena:: Her presence was restricted to songs and providing relief moments in the storyline.Mumait Khan:: Did full justice to the item number.Can't get enough of one Prakash Raj? Pokiri does a new BOGOF (buy-one-get-one-free). Yes, Sayaji Shinde seems to have found his face/off. Hold on – I almost forgot... for a brief moment, our Prakash Raj dearest gets spawned yet again and this time its Nassar. But thankfully the possessed moments are confined to his last breath (and the audience is spared!).Comedy track:: Innovative, but at times really hampers the narrative. Songs are catchy and stay on with you. Background score is impressive and elevates the screenplay.Action sequences:: Deserves a special mention. Gruesome, gory – the split-second editing is used effectively to create high-impact shock! Tarantino-meets-Spielberg influences are apparent.Puri Jagganath:: If Pokiri has satiated your appetite to make your mark and make your presence felt... please move on. Needless to say, the movie bears streaks of powerhouse of talent that lie within you. Your product has created a milestone by numbers but on a creative level I am sure you would like to add lot more feathers on your cap. Avoid the pitfall of turning into Y2K version of K. Raghavendra Rao-cum-Dasari Narayan Rao-cum-B Gopal.

Sangam Yadagiri Well, this is the typical Telugu movie for mass. The highlight of the film is Mahesh's brilliant performance. Apart from this, Prakash raj also has put in a fine effort.The director Puri tried to mix lot of bollywood movies like Abtak 56, Company... The comedy track is horrible. His only forte is writing the screenplay keeping hero character in his mind.Some of the dialog like "Once i am committed, i don't even listen to myself", " I don't know how much an idiot i am" are very good.Ileana looks beautiful. This is Mahesh's another hit after Athadu. Nothing to talk about the music.
