Acharya Movie Review: Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi, Koratala Siva ... (Filmibeat)

Father-son duo Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan-starrer Acharya has hit the screens today. The film has got mixed responses from fans.

In short, the Koratala Siva directorial is an old wine in an old bottle itself. Mani Sharma's music is not up to the bill. With not a very good introduction, Acharya (Chiranjeevi) arrives calmly who happens to be a Naxal and starts setting things right in Dharmasthali. Acharya is on the mission to save Dharmasthali and Paadhaghattam as per Siddha's (Ram Charan) will, which we come to know later in the second half. The Mega fans who are usually over excited, have become disappointed with the story line which was not expected from their favourite stars like Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. Pooja Hedge is the only leading lady in the film, but hardly has anything to prove with her character. The last scene to some extent earned a fantastic response from the audience. The major drawback for the movie is poor background score and not so catchy songs that could have held the audience's interest, leaving one or two songs.

Acharya movie review: Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan seem inadequate ... (The Indian Express)

Acharya Movie Review Live News: The writing is so poor that even the massive stardom of Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan feel inadequate to lift this movie.

But, by the end of it all, he becomes the incarnation of the god herself in the eyes of the people. The writing is so poor that even the massive stardom of Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan feels inadequate to lift this movie. Enter, Acharya (Chiranjeevi). We first see him standing at the top of a mountain. The cops, the government and politicians are all in cohorts, which has resulted in rampant exploitation of honest and hard-working people. The town people have grown up hearing a legend about how the goddess herself descended on the earth to protect the sanctity of Dharmasthala when it came under an attack. The mob, bankrolled by evil and greedy corporate bosses, has taken the town’s control and turned it into a lawless land.

And when the hero finally does enter, the introduction — one of the cornerstones of a successful masala film — is thoroughly underwhelming. Good people need to be trashed after the film reaches a saturation point. When I saw Satyadev's name in the 'Thank you' credits, I knew he was there to die, even if it is a good role. Things happen, big things, but the film is never inviting enough for the viewer to invest their emotions. A coal mine, created and framed as if it is located in KGF, the place and the film. What would have been better is if the film casted him as the young Acharya instead of the laughable VFX. But Koratala Siva did manage to innovate within the template with films like Mirchi and Srimanthudu. Even if Acharya shares many similarities with Mirchi and Janatha Garage, it is not half as entertaining or involving as either. When they buy a ticket, all they expect is a film that allows them the opportunity to hoot and whistle. Ajay is particularly impressive as the tribal leader. This is not the main plot of Koratala Siva's Acharya, but only one among the many subplots. If you are basing a film on the lives of an Adivasi tribe, at least acknowledge their culture, language, and rituals. That is the central issue of the film —thinking that many small ideas are better than one good idea.

Acharya Movie Review: Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan Movie ... (News18)

Acharya is a huge film with big expectations, excellent emotions, visuals, and a huge cast. Megastar Chiranjeevi has done a great job with his mature ...

Also the stretched scenes, boring treatment, and the main sequences that are not as interesting stand out as minus points. The rest of the cast who appeared in other roles were also impressive with their performance. Another attraction of the film is the appearance of another key character, Ram Charan. Chiru-Charan appearing in the same frame is the biggest treat for fans. The main plus point of this film is that it is a huge film with big expectations, with excellent emotions, visuals, and a huge cast. The famous Dharmasthali is already in the hands of Basava (Sonu Sood). How did Acharya stop the anarchy perpetrated by Basava and his men?

Acharya Movie Review: An outdated and lackluster drama (Times of India)

Acharya Movie Review: Critics Rating: 2.5 stars, click to give your rating/review,It's 'saana kashtam' to expect much of this tale despite Chiranjeevi and ...

The film is a bag of contradictions that give you whiplash after a while. Kajal Aggarwal’s role, of course, has been chopped off from the film completely and Pooja Hegde doesn’t get one that’s of any substance. Around the temple built for her are the settlements of Dharmasthali and Padaghattam, apart from the forest land called Siddhavanam. Years later, the natives of Padaghattam are known for upholding dharma and being experts in Ayurveda. The natives of Dharmasthali on the other hand indulge in corrupt practices, aided by Basava (Sonu Sood). A businessman called Rathod (Jisshu Sengupta) sets his eyes on Siddhavanam for illegal mining. Review: When a film claims that its selling point is that it features two superstars, you kind of tend to expect a little too much from it. Legend goes that an Ammavaru once descended to earth to save a clan from a horrible fate and stayed back. Who is he and will he manage to save this town?

Acharya movie review: Even Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan cannot save ... (News9 Live)

Acharya | Director: Koratala Siva. Cast: Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Sonu Sood, Pooja Hegde. Runtime: 2 hours and 34 minutes | Language: Telugu | Rating: 1.5/5.

Even the slow-motion shots featuring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan aren't worth whistles or hoots, due to the lack of a worthy score. Even at this age, the actor manages to go the whole nine yards for his role, be it with the action, the dance or the scenes in which he has to emote. Even though most of the film is shot inside grand sets or the forest, Tirru's visuals never make it an eyesore and expectedly fly higher in the action sequences. If RRR had Ram Charan's best introduction scene in his career, Acharya could go down as the actor's worst intro, as there is absolutely nothing going for it when his character comes onto the screen. It is indeed funny to see no proper introduction for the titular character, as he gets busy dancing for two item numbers, roaming around the town and not really getting to the point early on in the film. Next to Dharmasthalli is Paadhagattam, a tribal village that protects the town.

Acharya Movie Review: Chiranjeevi Can Save A Village, But Not ... (The Quint)

Acharya is what happens when you think of stardom, action scenes, songs, and finally a story. The order is messed up and so is this film that also stars Ram ...

And, there, when all hope is lost, the hero arrives, albeit in slow motion, to save the day. They save soil by closing the door on millionaires who show an interest in digging up the earth. Why did the parents run to a hospital in the first place? The problem, the parents find out, was in the herbal drinks that were given to them. Shouldn’t they have gone to the Ayurveda practitioners instead and enquired about the failing health of their children? When heartbroken parents take their sick kids to a hospital, a doctor says that the kids have been poisoned.
