'Veera Simha Reddy' movie review: Balakrishna misspent on a mind ... (The Hindu)

If only they thought of how to break the formula and write engaging scenes with logic, Nandamuri Balakrishna's 'Veera Simha Reddy' would have had more than ...

Much of the second half of the film is a long-drawn flashback sequence, and you see the twists and turns from a mile away. The story is set in a village in Rayalaseema, where a vengeful Pratap Reddy (Duniya Vijay) repeatedly attempts to kill Jai’s father and faction leader, Veera Simha Reddy (Balayya, any surprises?), for some unknown reason. From here, for most parts of the film, a pattern repeats: Pratap attacks Jai/ Veera with a gang of henchmen, they are all sent flying, and he is pardoned. The bigger story has little or no relevance to this scene — it’s as if Shruti’s only purpose in this film is to be a sidekick in the dance numbers. For the story to progress, Esha has to fall in love with Jai and a dance number is required. Jai (Balayya), who is living with his mother Meenakshi (Honey Rose) in Istanbul, meets Esha (Shruti Haasan) in a chance encounter at his car showroom.

Veera Simha Reddy Feels Like An AI-Generated Balakrishna Film (Film Companion)

Balakrishna's films with Boyapati Srinu, despite using the same beats, have attempted to offer something new. But Veera Simha Reddy doesn't.

Even the self-aware references to Jai Ballayya which have turned the ironic mocking phrase Jai Balayya into a clarion call to celebrate the leading man feel cheap and artificial. To call the constant harking back to legacy cliched itself is a cliché. Push the bar low enough a year or two later and even this film will feel like the ‘good old times’. The latter is the father. The former is the son. And a climactic showdown where the hapless villain is killed.

Veera is the defender of helpless people in the Rayalaseema district. The film made in this genre with this star is all about adulation and blind loyalty. And he will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. It gives her son and our hero Jai Simha Reddy (Balakrishna) to beat the hotel mogul and his men to a pulp. And a competent filmmaker would put his best effort to make the opening of the movie memorable. Filmmaker Gopichand Malineni is a lazy filmmaker and case in point is his latest directorial Veera Simha Reddy.

Veera Simha Reddy review: Balakrishna starrer resurrects the ... (The News Minute)

The Telugu film, directed by Gopichand Malineni, is purely made for the fans of Balakrishna, borrowing from the success formulas of all his previous hit ...

The first half of the movie runs at a breakneck speed with many fight sequences, and in complete contrast, it moves at a snail’s pace in the latter half which features the flashback sequences. The hero’s social positioning dictates that it is his ‘responsibility’ to take care of people. Though a typical revenge drama, Veera Simha Reddy has a decent plot that gives importance to the secondary characters. The film is loaded with high-octane action sequences captured in slow motion, elevating the hero. Unsurprisingly, Balakrishna plays dual roles in the action drama — as the titular Veera Simha Reddy and his son Jai Simha Reddy. The film is purely made for the fans of Balakrishna, popularly known as Balayya, borrowing from the success formulas of all his previous hit films.

Veera Simha Reddy Review: An early Sankranti treat for ... (Telangana Today)

This Gopichand Malineni directorial sees the senior actor paired with Shruti Haasan for the first time.

Her role is well-etched and she is shown as someone who can take on the might of Balakrishna with equal aggression and dominance. The story begins with Jai (aka Jaya Simha Reddy, played by Balakrishna) falling in love with Eesha (Shruti Haasan) and deciding to marry her. While the first 15 minutes set the premise of the film, albeit at a slow pace, it raises questions like Who is Veera Simha Reddy, Why is he living in Rayalaseema while his wife and son live in Istanbul?, Who are Bhanumathi and Pratap Reddy and why do they want to kill him?
