Waltair Veerayya

Nearly after two decades, megastar Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja have worked together. The uniqueness of Waltair Veerayya wasn't limited to the duo coming ...

One of the best parts of the movie is the touching scene with Ravi Teja and Chiranjeevi, who play brothers. The drunken comedy scene featuring Sathya Raj and Chiranjeevi is one example of how bad the writing is. Although the film benefits from catchy tunes, Chiranjeevi's entertaining performance, and a few good scenes, its overall weak writing and dated plot are its undoing. To ask for assistance of a commoner in extraditing a criminal makes no sense on the part of law enforcement. Regardless, things get worse during the parts set in Malaysia, where Chiranjeevi and his gang try to kidnap Bobby Simha. Sprucing up the proceedings is the presence of Ravi Teja. "Sridevi Chiranjeevi" and "Poonakalu Loading" are noteworthy. However, "Poonakam" (Vibrational energy) is noticeably absent from the movie. The characterization and acting style of megastar Chiranjeevi takes us back to his earlier films like "Mutha Mestri." The presence of Rajendra Prasad, Vennela Kishore, Subbaraj, Pradeep Rawat, and John Vijay hardly make a difference. After arriving in Malaysia, Veerayya and the policeman devise a strategy to capture Solomon Caesar. The songs and the trailer have helped build anticipation.

Waltair Veerayya movie review: Chiranjeevi's old-school charm salvages this predictable revenge drama. The Telugu film also stars Ravi Teja, Shruti Haasan, ...

Bobby’s intention of delivering an out-and-out enjoyable commercial film with Waltair Veerayya works to a large extent, even when the predictability factor creeps in when you’re least expecting. The film really portrays Chiranjeevi in the most crowd-pleasing fashion in a really long time. Waltair Veerayya is the kind of film that falls in the second category and it’s perfectly fine being that way as it lives up to the expectations. The plot is as old as the mountain but what makes Waltair Veerayya somewhat refreshing is that the film doesn’t try to glorify Chiranjeevi’s character. Rajendra Prasad, who plays a police inspector, is desperate to capture Solomon and bring him back to India to make him pay for his crimes. Filmmaker Bobby Kolli gives audiences just what they’ve been expecting from Chiranjeevi for the longest time – a project that can entertain on all fronts and extract the best out of him.

Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja's camaraderie and a few vintage moments apart, the Telugu film 'Waltair Veerayya' is a patchy fanboy tribute.

They dance to the foot-tapping ‘Poonakalu loading’ that is choreographed to showcase their camaraderie and dancing skills. The face-off between the two actors is replete with crowd-pleasing references to their earlier hits. The first half of the 160-minute narrative is loaded with dialogues and dance moves to remind us of vintage Chiranjeevi. A little later she also gets to perform a few slick action moves, never mind that it is cut short since she has to be ultimately saved by Chiranjeevi. A wanted criminal, Solomon Ceaser (Bobby Simha), is temporarily sheltered in a village police station and it leads to a massacre. The writers — Bobby, Kona Venkat and Chakravarthy Reddy — dip generously into Chiranjeevi’s blockbusters of the past to evoke nostalgia.

Chiranjeevi's Waltair Veerayya hit screens today, January 13. Here is a look at the box office performances of the star's last five films.

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy went on to earn a total of Rs 104.95 crore at the box office during its full run. It is considered to be a disaster as its pre-release business was said to be around Rs 107 crore.

Waltair Veerayya movie review The filmmakers don't want the audience to respond to the character Waltair Veerayya, but they want us to venerate before the ...

The emotional spine of Waltair Veerayya is the relationship between Veerayya and his young brother. Ravindra aka Bobby creates quite a hype for Waltair Veerayya in the opening minutes and fumbles to maintain the same tempo for the remainder of the narrative. And there is no emotional danger in the narrative for us to worry about the soul of Veerayya. These criminals pose no serious physical threat to a man who is called “the father of the Bay of Bengal”. The head of the kidnappers asks, “What force?” The officer retorts, “Mega force.” So Waltair Veerayya is a friend of the Navy. Cut to the next scene, high-ranking Navy officials are seeking the whereabouts of Waltair Veerayya (Chiranjeevi).
