DHOOKUDU REVIEW..... MY POINT OF VIEW

Dhookudu.........   Was not a movie till it was released...  It was the hope of people to find an authentic relief from Corruption movements, political cases, hatred, price hikes, bandhs and all the insecurities of people..  The hype, the expectations clearly explained once again how crazy and dependent, are most of us on the movies for entertainment and relief...  It gave a strong feeling that, nothing can replace movies in entertainment.  It will forever be the biggest religion in India ..

Mahesh babu craze continues and his looks, mannerisms, commercial ads,  his attitude of seclusion from media  also helps him to continue to have an aura of mystery and excitement adding to the fresh expectations from every movie.  The comparison to few new hero’s ends here.. ..  Women, girls, children and most child like adults love him and keep looking forward to his movies..  His character represents the carefree, yet subtly intense, pragmatic yet particular about achievements and relationships..... generation.  In that sense he defines what is contemporary, trendy and slick..   Hence somewhere people have fixed Mahesh with their expectations.. and be carefree and energetic ..

In that sense, either the film maker’s job is tough as they need to cater to some cliché or easy as they know what audience wants and hence they need to make no mistakes when they make Mahesh movies.....  That’s it ?  Film makers know that, that’s not it as one thing that no one will ever know is what makes any entertaining product a hit.  More so movies....

Coming to Dhookudu movie, Mahesh babu fans.... women, children, childlike and normal people are sure to like it..  It’s got what they expect and it’s a complete entertainer missing few logics here and there..  But why do we the ordinary look for logic in movie when it’s missing everywhere else in our normal regular life ?  One line punch dialogues solicits whistles and screams.. in the movie..  His domination in romance and one-upmanship with Samantha will go very cool and entertain the normal audience.. of course a la pokiri kool dude like...  Yup, one can engage in comparison with Pokiri and Athadu and waste time and feel intelligent enough..  Then read these reviews and don’t watch movie to make such a judgement.
The happiness comes from the fact that after Maghadeera, and to some extent 100 % love, there is no genuine proper hit in Telugu and this one is a clean hit..  By the way, hit or miss or flop is for the producers and industry.... Movie buffs will enjoy this movie and of course, its easy on them to go to wash room during the bad song before the interval..  Indeed music is disappointing and Taman is fortunate as the hit movie will automatically make the audio also a decent hit.. Let’s not talk about examples here.
In one line this is a seenu vytla screen play movie with usual and expected line of comedy and punches and adopting a technique of Puri Jagan..  Sorry Vaitla,  Puri is superior in the technique of making maheshish style...  But the combination of vaitla puri is what worked for the film... Wondered how did the director handle so many characters with good ease and his hard work showed in every frame..  Nothing much to talk about Samantha except that she looks cute and needs to add some weight to carry off saris. 
Mahesh babu is like a james bond..  ( don’t we call his Dad Andhra James bond... When there was no telangana movement.... so Andhra is ok to represent AP then) ...  James bond movies will have a formula and slick stylish making..  You can’t expect it to be like other Hollywood movies..  They come as a breather from regular movies..  Mahesh movies are the same here.. There will be an element of Pokiri and Athadu and so what....  Its a clean 3 hours time pass and helps people to look forward to and keep away the nonsensical botheration of the usual issues in society... If film is a religion, Mahesh movies are signifying the same.. Don’t we all know that , movies are meant to be larger than life and not realistic.   Don’t expect Mahesh to play the characters of Ram, Saints, historian etc etc.....  He can do 3 idiots, tare zameen, chakde, Zindagi na mile kinds in telugu..

In nut shell, dhookudu is a must for the relief and thoroughly enjoyable movie with few inevitable doses of Violence.... Comedy and Mahesh presence is the high light...  Mahesh has come in the mould of Chiru and Amitabh in the comedy timing and has the naughty approach and romance of Nag and energy of Balayya and Venki...  hence he is easily the number one star of tollywood.   The next thing is the consistency and Business man will prove that..
Full marks to all departments especially the editing in little complicated story, but music is very disappointing ... How can Mahesh movie have average songs except the good sounding title song..
They define dhookudu as the feeling which compels you to do, not considering the dilemma of good or bad...  Its an energy, a gut feel  and that’s what the movie and Mahesh is all about.   Just watch and enjoy... But surely suspend all intellect please as movies are not meant to engage in rigmarole and intelligence...  hats off Mahesh and FB, Twitter generation will like this movie for sure apart from Mahesh fans ...( who are there all around) ..
Switch off BBM and whats up for sure ... moblies is your choice.. what can one say..
