Dookudu is an out & out family entertainer with decent mix of action elements.
Story : One fine morning, Shankar Narayana (Prakash Raj) is back from coma after 14 years, how his son Ajay (Mahesh) takes revenge on the people behind PR’s problems at the same time manages things forms the rest of the story.
Screenplay : Average
Music & BGM : Songs are okay on screen and a couple of them are quite good especially the one’s in 1st half. BGM should have been better.
Performances : Mahesh pulled off this entire film on his own. His dialogue delivery and comic timing is excellent and also is a treat to watch looks wise!. Prakash Raj, Samantha, Sonu sood and other supporting cast did their bit fine.
Visuals : Fine and adequate.
Direction : Average
Plus :
1.Mahesh as cop is a treat to watch.
2.Full length comedy, especially ‘Realiy Show’ concept
3.Brahmanandam & MS Narayana.
Minus :
1.Dragged 2nd half.
2.Bad editing and BGM.
Overall Movie Rating : 3 / 5 ( Entertainer, a treat to fans )
Boxoffice Verdict :
Dookudu with a lot of hype and big release, is expected to bag good opening numbers. Whether the film will go on to become a commercial hit?, depends upon how well the families receive it. And ofcourse the competition in Oosaravelli.
But keeping the festive season and huge amount of publicity in mind, the film is definitely going to collect decent revenue and is a big relief for Mahesh after 3 consecutive duds.
