Devara: Part 1

Straight to the point, this script doesn't demand a budget of 300Cr and since they have spent that, the result is far from satisfactory.

As with every Koratala movie, this movie has got no story, it's all about engaging scenes and few mass moments, sadly, here, neither the drama is engaging nor the mass scenes are adrenaline pumping. It just goes on and on and on....

NTR's look as Devara is so underwhelming, didn't look fierce at all, no scope to showcase his acting prowess too, Saif Ali Khan gets a template role with worst dubbing work, Jahnvi gets a B-grade role and was irritating. Rest all star cast were criminally wasted.

Technically, it doesn't give the vibe of a Pan-India scale, cinematography by Rathnavelu is surprisingly okayish, editing by Sreekar Prasad same, VFX and Production values are worst. Anirudh tried his level best to save the film, but no available

Coming to Koratala Siva, don't know what prompted him to write a script amidst sea backdrop, it's just a template revenge drama, unnecessarily stretched for a second part. Direction too is underwhelming, so many scenes fell flat.
