Waltair Veerayya movie review: Chiranjeevi's old-school charm salvages this predictable revenge drama. The Telugu film also stars Ravi Teja, Shruti Haasan, ...

Bobby’s intention of delivering an out-and-out enjoyable commercial film with Waltair Veerayya works to a large extent, even when the predictability factor creeps in when you’re least expecting. The film really portrays Chiranjeevi in the most crowd-pleasing fashion in a really long time. Waltair Veerayya is the kind of film that falls in the second category and it’s perfectly fine being that way as it lives up to the expectations. The plot is as old as the mountain but what makes Waltair Veerayya somewhat refreshing is that the film doesn’t try to glorify Chiranjeevi’s character. Rajendra Prasad, who plays a police inspector, is desperate to capture Solomon and bring him back to India to make him pay for his crimes. Filmmaker Bobby Kolli gives audiences just what they’ve been expecting from Chiranjeevi for the longest time – a project that can entertain on all fronts and extract the best out of him.

'Waltair Veerayya' Telugu movie review: Nostalgia-evoking moments ... (The Hindu)

Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja's camaraderie and a few vintage moments apart, the Telugu film 'Waltair Veerayya' is a patchy fanboy tribute.

They dance to the foot-tapping ‘Poonakalu loading’ that is choreographed to showcase their camaraderie and dancing skills. The face-off between the two actors is replete with crowd-pleasing references to their earlier hits. The first half of the 160-minute narrative is loaded with dialogues and dance moves to remind us of vintage Chiranjeevi. A little later she also gets to perform a few slick action moves, never mind that it is cut short since she has to be ultimately saved by Chiranjeevi. A wanted criminal, Solomon Ceaser (Bobby Simha), is temporarily sheltered in a village police station and it leads to a massacre. The writers — Bobby, Kona Venkat and Chakravarthy Reddy — dip generously into Chiranjeevi’s blockbusters of the past to evoke nostalgia.

Waltair Veerayya movie review: Neither Chiranjeevi nor Ravi Teja ... (The Indian Express)

Waltair Veerayya movie review The filmmakers don't want the audience to respond to the character Waltair Veerayya, but they want us to venerate before the ...

The emotional spine of Waltair Veerayya is the relationship between Veerayya and his young brother. Ravindra aka Bobby creates quite a hype for Waltair Veerayya in the opening minutes and fumbles to maintain the same tempo for the remainder of the narrative. And there is no emotional danger in the narrative for us to worry about the soul of Veerayya. These criminals pose no serious physical threat to a man who is called “the father of the Bay of Bengal”. The head of the kidnappers asks, “What force?” The officer retorts, “Mega force.” So Waltair Veerayya is a friend of the Navy. Cut to the next scene, high-ranking Navy officials are seeking the whereabouts of Waltair Veerayya (Chiranjeevi).

Waltair Veerayya Twitter review: 'Chiranjeevi in form, but movie ... (Business Today)

Chiranjeevi's recent releases, Acharya and Godfather were let down by shoddy screenplays, which apparently is the same case with Waltair Veerayya, ...

TRENDING The story of the film is nothing new, but Bobby Kolli could have gone easy on the action scenes, especially in the second half, which is stretched. Second Half: Even worse than first half. Technically, the movie is well-made and Devi Sri Prasad’s songs have been rocking the charts," said India Today's review of the movie. If Twitter is to be believed, Chiranjeevi's mass outing seems like a job half well-done. [#WaltairVeerayya]First Half: Rotta Comedy.

Waltair Veerayya movie review and box office collection LIVE ... (Times of India)

After leaving everyone dumbstruck with his performance in 'GodFather', megastar Chiranjeevi once again graced the silver screens with 'Waltair Veeray.

The first half of Waltair Veerayya is a fun watch with Chiranjeevi completely in his element. Ravi Teja is one of the most popular actors among the current lot in T-town. My daughter Sushmita has done the costumes and styling for this film and she has taken a little extra care for my look.'' Ardent fans of megastar Chiranjeevi thronged the theatres in Hyderabad on Friday to see their favourite star on the big screen as the actor’s much-awaited movie 'Waltair Veerayya' was released. of vanity vans has increased on film sets compared to before and I feel it is a necessity today than before when everything is getting updated. I said his dialogue from his Idiot film and he said from my film...therefore there is lots of scope for entertainment in this. The moment I decided to use it for my film in future, and I used it now. She was so quick with her Telugu lines and she even did great in a couple of fight scenes, Shruti is a good asset to this film.'' Before the release of the movie, it was reported that the film clocked a record pre-release business. Ravi Teja garu is my first choice to play a role in the film. While the film is a mixed bag, it does manage to keep you engaged for the most part. I wish him all the best for his film, Veera Simha Reddy, and he wished me the best of luck for my film, Waltair Veerayya.''

Waltair Veerayya Movie Review: An enjoyable, even if familiar ... (Cinema Express)

But that's not all. Cast: Chiranjeevi, Ravi Teja, Prakash Raj, Simhaa Shruti Haasan. Director: Bobby Kolli. ADVERTISEMENT.

But the film tries to tell you why he is always smiling. But there’s more to the film and Veerayya, with Solomon being only the first level of his secret mission. Also, to see the hero—despite getting liberal doses of heroism—not being lionised by every character or exalted beyond the range of the character felt like a breath of fresh air. It takes some time getting used to the dialect and the decidedly theatrical nature of the character, it quickly turns into an enjoyable fare. Perhaps the only forced choice in the screenplay is the placement of the dance number, ‘Neekemo Andham Ekkuva’ in the climax. However, his fear of heights not only is used as a conflict of sorts in the backstory but also culminates in a beautiful, emotional moment towards the end.

Movie Review | 'Waltair Veerayya' banks heavily on power of nostalgia (Deccan Chronicle)

Technically speaking, the cinematography is nothing to write home about and looks like template filmmaking at its finest.

Perhaps the saving grace of the movie lies in the fact that it doesn’t try too hard to be merely a star vehicle all of the time. This is perhaps one of the rare movies where the second half of the movie is significantly better than the first half, but this is where the nostalgia manufactured for the fans comes into play. Shruti Hasan’s character was supposed to be an important part of the story’s events, but just steps to the side conveniently as Waltair Veerayya’s vendetta is a far more immediate priority than her mission of possible national importance. His absence from the sensational opening of the movie is almost a void as we are introduced to CI Seethapathi (Rajendra Prasad), who survives a massacre at the police station he was serving at one fateful night. Despite his fear of flying and Vennala Kishore’s apprehensions, Veerayya lands in Malaysia where a trusted associate (A. Chiranjeevi as the megastar casts a large shadow where he ceases to exist as anything but a pastiche of his former experiences from the moment he walks onto the screen.
