Interesting Facts

Filming began in Sircilla in Feb 2022, Factory fight and Marriage fight were filmed first and ended in December 2022 with Mass Mogudu song
First Telugu movie to have factionism in Turkey
Telugu debut of actor Duniya Vijay

First movie of Balayya and Gopichand
Shruthi Hassan first collaboration with Balayya
5th straight collaboration between Gopichand and Thaman: other than Don Seenu, given music for all his movies

Story: Veera Simha Reddy is a faction leader in Pulicherla revered by his people. When he is killed his step sister and brother in law, his son Jai Simha Reddy who lives in Istanbul steps in to finish the revenge.

Writing and Direction: Pathetic writing and even worse direction. Gopichand Malineli should be ashamed of himself. No logic in the movie at all and filled with cringeworthy scenes from start to finish. Clearly inspired to make a Samarasimha Reddy, Narasimha Naidu, and Chennakesava Reddy and failed miserably.

Why are they in Istanbul
Why do Telugu’s speak telugu to white people in Istanbul, he can’t understand
Shruthi Hassan pure cringe and headache
Factionism in Turkey and no explanation of how villains get to Istanbul so quickly
How does one kick a Jeep and it goes back
Pratap Reddy funniest villain - 30 years and 6 L’s movie has 8 fights and gets exhausting
No emotions or relatability between Balayya and Varalaxmi
Rape scene and Chatrapathi Shekar gets cucked and hacked
Honey rose is 31 and Balayya’s mom somehow
Gets out of the shower and item song happens
Gopichand Malineli son is peaks of ovaeraction
Routine story and really long and boring movie, no highs. Dialogues are also useless.
Too many curse words, munda and Kodaka every other word.

Technicalities:

Music: Worst. Way too LOUD

Production Design: Amazing

Cinematography: Amazing

Editing: Bad

Dialogues: Useless

Fights: Useless

Costumes: Veera Simha Reddy clothes are nice, black shirt and lungi

Overall: Balayya fans and general audience won’t like it. Not a good film and honestly just stupid. Saying this as a die hard Telugu movie fan.
