The movie just starts fine. Intro was good. Comedy was OK but could handle it, it was entertaining at least. Then comes the second half. Which completely destroys what ever you thought about the movie earlier. There's only loud sounds of bashing and punching and yeah, the horrendous background score. Despite it being bad, it was copied form the original source, which makes it even more unworthy. Yeah, people just keep flying around and the protagonist's shirt doesn't even get messy. wow. There is no sense of a story neither the logic. Audience were asleep who were sitting in my row of seats. Another sucker punch of a remake which doesn't deliver what it was supposed to except the hero-worship just for the sake of fans who would whistle at anything. If you are a fan, you would enjoy it, if not, sit at home and watch a sitcom for good.

First of all Pawan Kalyan was good as usual. And that's the only thing which is good about this movie. Shruthi hassan looks so artificial, moving away from natural sense. I believe looking natural is no more the go way.Direction was worst. Not sure why Pawan Gabe chance to this guy. Its become a trend to pull in great actors into such bad scripts and directions. Something which I saw with Rajnikanth sir.Wish movie had better flow, direction. It deserves not more than 4/10.

A worst movie watched in Telugu. Good acting by Hero but story line is not up to the mark. Heroine is good and others are not up to the mark. Stop remaking good movies and spoiling the movie name Veeram Director should work on his skills.Please do not waste your money watching this movie. Hope it does well in box office.

Katamarayudu (2017): Generally remakes of movies are having less buzz now-a-days as development of technology and availability of movies of all languages in torrents and other websites got huge following all over world.So everyone has the chance of watching the popular movies of other languages which are available with subtitles too.But surprisingly Power Star decided to remake Veeram which was released back in 2014 and even got dubbed into Telugu as Veerudokkade.Veeram is a routine commercial film which only worked because of Ajith's tremendous performance.Did Katamarayudu work with Power Star's presence?Plot:In a Rayalaseema village, Katamarayudu (Pawan Kalyan) is a sort of good leader to the villagers and he uses violence to settle disputes. He hates of idea of marriage and remains bachelor, while his four brothers have girlfriends. They hatch a plan to make his brother fall in love with Avanthi (Shruti Haasan). He indeed falls for her beauty. The trouble is her father (Nasser) doesn't like any person who indulges in violence. To win the love, Katamarayudu renounces violence but soon he comes to know that revenge-seeking convict (Tarun Arora) is hatching plan to kill Avanthi's father who is retired judge. How Katamarayudu who came to Avanthi's village to win her love becomes savior of their family is told in rest of the movie.Plus Points:1)Power Star: Pawan Kalyan is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of Katamarayudu. He perfectly suits the elder brother's character and carries the entire film on his shoulders. Right from Pawan's traditional look to his classy dialogues, the star hero does full justice and impresses in his famous mannerisms.His dances,fights and especially his comedy timing worked and its surely is a treat for his fans.Minus Points:Except Pawan Kalyan,Katamarayudu is a totally unnecessary remake.Still I couldn't even guess Why Power star committed for this remake?.This movie has no novelty in scenes and all the scenes are just a rehash of scenes we have seen earlier in lot of films.It followed the same template of a fight followed by a romantic/emotional scene which was further followed by a mindless comedy and it returns back to another fight.Comedy by Ajay is far better than Ali.Pawan did good comedy in few scenes than Ali.SO what is the need of Ali in this film?Rao Ramesh irritated with his lousy Seema accent.Pradeep Rawat and Tarun Arora failed to impress.Sruthi Hasan has lost her charm and has nothing to perform in this film.Music is a total letdown.BGM is poor.So,Katamarayudu is strictly meant for Power Star's die-hard fans.My Rating 4.25/10
