    Go for it

    The movie starts on a slow note taking its own time to unravel. Interval sets the bar high but post interval things start to go downhill. The songs in second half kill the flow of the film but after that the movie goes from strength to strength with brilliant performances from lead actors. The BGM and cinematography gel well with the film. Sukumar takes his own time but tells his story effectively. NTR Jr is completely in ease with his role.The climax deserves a special mention. The scenes between father and song,hero and villain are strong points and scenes with heroine are just okay.

    Its rare to see films like this these days and Nannaku Prematho has to be watched by one and all for its visual grandeur and Gripping narration despite its flaws.

    Intellectual Revenge Drama

    We have all tasted Sukumar's Writings since his inception in Film Industry. Each & every of his movie has a unique making style. If we look at his previous works, all may not be box office blockbusters but each & every movie is impeccably made. There is no doubt about it. Even this movie also has simple story line but the screenplay is intellectually written. Since the start title cards to end credits, each and every frame is logically interlinked.

    Main plot of the movie is just a classy revenge drama, I don't want to spoil your fun more, so I'm not revealing it intricately.

    With in half an hour of the movie, you will get to know what is the motive behind the story. So It is just Screenplay, Screenplay & Screenplay makes the difference!! First half of the movie is little boring at sometimes, because sukumar has included lot of mind analysis scenes like some Science funda in stunts, which might not go well with normal audience. But Second half he did a decent job. Looks like he intelligently inspired from Hollywood movie "Now You See me" but it is OK, many people gets to copy or inspire still they wont get the expected result, this guy is not like that. He is just perfect in getting it. This is classy and settled performance from NTR, be it his dance,elegant British look, beard and John Lennon Glasses, Omg! He is splendid & amazing. For the first time ever, I started liking NTR's acting and look. Rakul is just lovely and she did a fantastic job, may be for the first time her role is not merely related to skin show but some acting as well. One more star in the movie is Jagapathi babu and the way he acted and his look is on par with NTR. As the age increases, he is becoming more & more glamorous. Looks like he is playing safe game now by choosing the roles like this. Rajendra Prasad & Rajiv Kanakala did so well in their roles. In fact after a long time Rajiv Kanakala did a meaty role. Srinivas Avasarala got wasted, his role is not much.

    Music & background score by DSP is just commendable. And it is memorable for him because he dedicated this entire album to his Dad, who recently passed away. So good to see the love on his father with the end credits song. Such a nice song(Nannaku Prematho...), hope sukumar will release this song soon.The way Sukumar chose this huge star cast is a plus point. Overall Lekkalu masteru Sukumar ... Lekkalu telchadanike e industry ki vachadu ;) I don't know it may be little exaggeration, but I feel he is Christopher Nolan of Tollywood ;) Finally it is a decent one from Sukumar but stop comparing with Nenokkadine, because that is his best work. Can't say whether it is a pongal winner or not, but just go for it guys.

    Excellent Classy Telugu Movie Till Date

    What a movie man... Itz Ultimately crafted by Sukku n Heart Touchingly Performed By Young Tiger NTR...Even though after knowing he cant deliver his regular Mass Masala Elements for his Fans this time..daringly went ahead blindly.. by following the storyline n because of his confidence on Sukku n yes..mainly because of Father sentiment n as its an emotion carrying subject all through... Good Work Sukku...Congrats Tarak... Finally TFI has got the First n Biggest BB in the form of NKP this year... Its always been proved by Trak that no one in the whole industry as of now in present generation ..would match his acting skills..

    One of the best movie of Tollywood i have ever seen

    the best movie i have seen ever is Nannaku Prematho Simple story showcased in such a beautiful way :) NTR undoubtedly the best actor of this generation :) Devisri gave nice music & great BGM cinematography is mind blowing dialogs penned so beautifully overall its a great product from a great team which has taken TFI to next level i wish this movie will become huge hit and become memorable for all the cast & crew for long time ---------

    rtistes' Performances: NTR has not only transformed into a complete stylish avatar, he also has entered into the skin of the character. His performance, his diction, his style, and body language are totally different from what we have seen so far from him. As a young person with a calculated approach, he has done his best. He does neither mass appealing dialogues or nor heavy fights.

    Jagapathi Babu as selfish and evil business person who builds his empire by taking over other's business in cunning way is top class. He has not only looked stylish but is very evil. One of the best villain characterizations written in Tollywood.

    Rakul is very beautiful as Divyanka, daughter of Jagapathi Babu. Rajendra Prasad is seen mostly attached to chair and bedridden but he has given believable performance.

    Rajeev Kanakala has returned to screen after long time as brother to NTR. Avasarala, Taguboth Ramesh and Madhubala in a cameo are okay.

    Technical Excellence: The movie boasts terrific visual quality thanks to cinematographer Vijay Chakravarthi's first rate camera and also because of its locations. Entire film is set or shot in UK and Spain. The movie has rich quality throughout. Each frame in the film is beautiful.

    The office set of Jagapathi Babu's created by Ravindar is superb. The film needs much trimming. Fights are okay. Devi Sri Prasad's music has gelled perfectly with the storyline.

    Highlights:

    NTR's performance and his new look London backdrop Terrific visuals First half Some emotional scenes
