There
are
surfeits
of

it's
just
that
the

The

There's

perhaps

It's
a

where
Mahesh

repeat

An

The film comes from the house of Sreenu Vaitla who is known for his rip roaring comedy entertainers with action. The first half was very good and breezes smoothly with elements of comedy, action and romance. The interval bang was promising. The second half was more focused on the action and revenge element. In Vaitla's movies humor builds up as the film ends but that didnt happen in this one. Overall, this is a film more for mass audience and Mahesh fans. If you come with high expectations it will not reach the mark. At the box office, profits look likely.

With Aagadu, Mahesh Babu once again showcases his super stardom. Right from the word go, it is Mahesh, Mahesh and only Mahesh throughout the film.

Aagadu falls way short of what was being projected by the makers. The movie could have been a different experience all together, only if it had an entertaining script, Promising atmosphere, crisp editing and hummable tracks. In the nutshell, Aagadu has less engaging and entertaining moments, hence it turns to be a tedious journey.

If Srinu Vaitla could have made few more changes in the story to go completely out of Dookudu shades, this flick could have been much better. Shruthi Hassan's song is a treat to the youngsters and the comedy is attractive to the family audience. Punch dialogues are especially sharpened for the mass audience and on an average, this flick has all the ingredients for all groups of spectators.

Aagadu takes off on a high note with a powerful introduction scene of the protagonist, followed by a fight and an introduction song. Starting scenes of Mahesh as cop are very good and gives the movie a promising start. However Srinu Vaitla failed to maintain the same tempo even for a span of fifteen minutes. The graph of the film goes up and down with a good scene followed by two bad scenes.
