Overall, Rabhasa may not have good story, but it promises to entertain you sound production values and wonderful performances by actors. It is a good action comedy entertainer. It will be a grand treat for the fans of Junior NTR and Brahmanandam.

First half of the film is a little disappointing. Second half is better. A few of Brahmanandam's scenes are handled well. Plus points of the film are NTR's performance and a few of Brahmi's episodes in 2nd half. The minus point of the film is lack of freshness and a complicated screenplay. This film is made with mass orientation and the success will depend on how masses take it!

The absence of the mandatory NTR reference is perhaps the most original part of this otherwise unremarkable film that dishes out every known cliche in lexicon of big ticket Tollywood entertainers.

Snatches of this or that story aside, 'Rabhasa' is more 'rabhasa' and no good 'rasa'.

Rabhasa is the one man show of NTR well complimented with some excellent comedy from Brahmanandham. Like most films these days, the film is less on substance more on comedy. But some how Telugu audience have developed high tolerance levels to such films. So Rabhasa is expected to work out well at the box office.

Gulte - Rating: 3

Gulte - Rating: 3

First half of the film is utterly boring with uninteresting college episodes and poor songs. Second half also moves on a predictable note as the director shifts into Kandireega mode. Nothing looks bright until Brahmanandam enters the scene. Comedy in a couple of scenes is good and has saved this film from ending up as a dud. Brahmi and NTR shouldered the film and carried it to the climax.

On the whole, Rabhasa is definitely not the blockbuster hit that NTR was desperately looking for. But some entertaining comedy and NTR's one man show, will surely make the general audience lap up this average entertainer during this festive season.

Everyone expected a good Vinayaka Chavithi feast from NTR. He almost served all the items but in very limited quantity. For those who expect a big bang from NTR may be disappointed. For those who are satisfied with a masala movie and a festive outing, Rabhasa would be just OK.

The trend of mixing action with entertainment and sentiment has picked up strongly and this is one such example. The first half goes around with elements of action, comedy and some romance. The interval bang was promising. The second half was more on the emotional front but good comedy was there. The climax fight was nice. Overall, this is a film which appeals to the commercial audience and fans of NTR. At the box office, this can be a decent grosser.

There are 3 good things to talk about Rabhasa. First one is about the Young Tiger who did everything to entertain audience. NTR's charismatic presence has covered lot of loopholes in the script he pulled off the character of Karthik with ease.Brahmanandam has become a pivotal artist in the star hero's films these days and he is the saving grace in the second half.
