For
the
first
time,
Mahesh
Babu
has
dared
enough
to
put
aside
so
called
sentiments
of
Tollywood
in
case
of
Srimanthudu
and
has
believed
in
the
story
of
the
film
as
well
as
his
instinct.
Let
us
see
whether
his
gut
feeling
turned
in
to
reality.
Srimanthudu
Story
Srimanthudu
is
about
a
rich
guy
called
Harsha,
who
believes
in
doing
what
his
heart
says.
Though
he
has
everything
in
life
at
his
foot
step,
there
is
something
else
he
desires
to
accomplish.
What
sets
his
goal
and
what
wonders
his
determination
does
forms
the
story.
Performances
Mahesh
Babu
exactly
fits
in
to
the
role
of
a
rich
and
ambitious
guy
and
his
intense
performance
elevated
the
heroism
in
the
movie
to
a
different
level.
Mahesh
seems
to
have
concentrated
much
on
his
weaker
sides
in
this
film
and
appears
to
have
worked
alot
on
his
dance
moves.
Shruti
Haasan
plays
Charuseela
a
strong
and
sweet
girl
next
door
with
prefixed
way
of
living.
She
manages
to
spill
her
magic
here
and
there
and
was
adorable
in
song
sequences.
All
the
other
seasoned
actors
including
Jagapathi
Babu,
Sukanya
and
Sitara
were
aptly
cast
while
Rajendra
Prasad
sounds
too
cliched
in
some
of
the
key
scenes.
Director
Koratala
Siva
breaks
the
so
called
'second
film
sentiment'
and
comes
out
with
flying
colors.
Srimanthudu
calls
for
a
much
deserved
success
for
the
director
as
he
has
delivered
a
film
with
full
of
content
rather
than
a
mere
commercial
cinema.
However,
he
failed
to
keep
the
screenplay
engaging
and
the
film
looses
it's
pace
many
a
times.
Devi
Sri
Prasad
though
scored
an
average
with
the
songs,
he
gave
his
best
in
terms
of
background
score.
DOP
Madhie
was
top
class
and
the
Mythri
movie
makers
seems
to
have
spent
the
money
at
the
right
places.
Overview
Srimanthudu
would
probably
get
more
and
more
richer
in
the
coming
days
after
winning
your
hearts
with
some
lively
performances
and
timely
punches.
Go
for
it!
Mahesh
Babu's
Srimanthudu
has
a
sound
story
to
tell
you.
Herosim
Elevation
scenes
in
the
film
surely
gives
you
goosebumps
and
if
you
are
a
fan
of
Mahesh,
we
promise
you
a
feast.
Lead
Pair
Chemistry
between
Shruti
and
Mahesh
has
come
out
really
well
and
would
probably
become
one
of
the
hit
pair
of
Telugu
in
coming
days.
Dances
Mahesh
Babu
worked
a
lot
on
his
dances
and
some
of
the
catchy
steps
with
Shruti
were
an
eye-candy
Dialogues
Dialogues
in
the
film
sets
the
mood
right
and
creates
a
great
impact
on
you.
Make
note
of
the
one
liners.
A
Hit
After
two
back
to
back
disasters,
Mahesh
breathes
a
hit.
Go
for
it.
