      Jimmy Cage Jimmy Cage Movie Reviews (YouTube) ATHADU is an average entertainer that is fun at times, but overall too superficial, too bland and at the very end too ridiculously over the top. Rated: 5/10 Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      sai t BEST TELUGU MOVIE EVER. 🥰🥰🥰 FAMILY, COMEDY, THRILLER, CRIME JUST SO FUCKIINGGGG PERFECT, NO ONE CAN GET NOT SWAYED BY THIS MOVIE. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Athadu is my all-time favourite. Best family entertainer till the date and forever. One and only movie which made telugu films have a market in U.S.A.It would have been an All-time Blockbuster if people would have understood it properly. Athadu is a package of Comedy, suspense,emotional scenes, heart touching scenes,heart warming songs,thrilling background score,goosebumping scenes,Daredevil dialogues,hollywood looks and action scenes of mahesh babu sir.I have watched this movie for numberless times. Even i know every dialogue in this movie.Best movie directed by trivikram srinivas sir.If I get a chance to give IMDB rating for this movie, I will give 10/10.😍🤗🤩. Superstar's sensational movie in 2005. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Mahesh babu nailed it as an contract killer. Trisha is great. Script is mindblowing, and script is one of the great things of the movie. Definitely recommend it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movies ever made in Indian cinema......and best of trivikram as a writer and director both Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Athadu is definitely a far better movie than its grossing numbers say. It is easily the best movie in the career of Mahesh Babu in my opinion and this would be the same opinion of a large percentage of people who watched the movie despite watching his other commercially better hits later in his career. Never a dull moment fueled by excellent screen play and dialogues penned by Trivikram Srinivas. And as always Mahesh steals the show. So does Prakash Raj. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Athadu is a well crafted Crime-Action-Thriller.The stunt sequences in and the natural dialogues keep the audience at the edge of their seat. Mahesh Babu steals the show with his acting.The only thing I found negative about Athadu was too much song sequences which were not necessary , the songs were picturised in a linear manner but they popped out of nowhere , some audience would feel uncomfortable. But the director Trivikram Srinivas makes them ignore the average songs with his screenplay and twists . Overall the film is a cult classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
