Overall, the film is good on presentation but very poor in content and completely blotched on narration and concept. While the masses have nothing in it, the class audience will feel like they are in a classroom. And regarding the mega fans…well, it looks like 2010 is just not their year as their favorite heroes seem to be dealing with unconventional characters.

The film takes off at a very good level and the entire first half goes breezily with comedy and entertainment. However, things go completely down during the second half and with each passing scene, audience’s patience is tested. The storyline is quite routine and one has seen the routine twists before. On the bright side, the technical aspects are good. Cinematography was top notch. Background score was good, two songs were melodious, dialogues were well written, screenplay was okay.

Rakta Charitra is a fiction based on historical facts. It’s rather powerful to say that it’s a true depiction of human emotions. It’s a tour to extreme human beings. For the lovers of realistic violence.

The first half is impressive with little humor and some action sequences; the second half is filled with actual drama, emotions, love factors, matured outlooks of every character, but finally ends up with an obvious note.

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. Brahmanandam has got very small role. Sunil entertained very well. Anushka’s iron-body characterization is also interesting.

First half is too elastic. The actual story is understood only in last 30 minutes. It is difficult to understand what is happening on screen due to confused screenplay. A straight narration would have helped both director and audience in making and understanding respectively. This is a movie just for time pass but not to quench the thirst to watch a wonderful and captivating one.

First half is entertaining. The first 30 minutes of second half are not gripping in right standards. That part is boring. But the climax action episode is marvelous to be on Indian screen. The last few closing dialogues are impressive and with true essence.

There is no big story. There is no great effort to knit the narration with great humor. It just goes like a village bus. It’s natural wit that sparks here and there in dialogues and renditions. As the title sounds ‘it’s just a time pass movie’ and no big blasts can be expected. First half goes with average narration while the second half picks up with laughs. This is a movie that can run for some time till the big movies arrive.

Right from the word goes, the film takes a sloppy opening and the introduction of Pawan Kalyan was ridiculous. Everything looked disjointed and the feel was missing completely. Unfortunately, the strong presence of Pawan Kalyan was missing in this and he looked quite aloof in the film without any involvement.

Any film coming from the house of Ram Gopal Varma comes with certain expectations and usually, the results are extreme- a super hit or massive flop. But this time, the director has managed to bring it a saving grace and he was sharp in carrying the film without much hiccups.

The film is basically an attempt to come up with a subtle comedy on life’s challenges. The real highlights of the film are the songs, the production values, the music and Haripriya. On the flip side, the weak direction and poor handling of the script gives a blow to the outcome.

First half runs dull, interval bang keeps the attention intact to some extent, second half runs with several twists and the climax ends up in an unexpected note. No excitement fills the hearts of audience while stepping out from theaters.

Overall, the film would appeal to the B and C center audience in a big way while the A center viewers who are fond of ‘Kick’ type films will also get attracted to it. The biggest asset to the film is Shriya who will pull crowds to the theaters.

The idea of speaking about the importance of joint families and the human relations is a noble thought but then it has to be conceived in the right manner to connect with the audience. While the storyline was good and was written decently, it is the narration and presentation that flipped.

The film takes off on a sparkling note and in no time, the viewer gets into the plot. The momentum is quite high during the start and the emotional graph is maintained throughout. However, there are a few hiccups during the second half but it is not that injuring. Rajamouli’s USP is the emotional package and he delivers it again. He was well supported by some charging background score, three foot tapping songs, masterly cinematography and professional visual effects.
