Magadheera (2009)

Wonderfully offbeat film!

A Major Disappointment

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Ramacharan dance fight bagundi, rajmoli direction extraordinary, location super, graphic bagundi.A bike stuntman recalls his previous life as a warrior, and pursues his love's reincarnation. A sinister figure from their shared past threatens to separate them forever. awesome dance performances....Kajal looks good....can watch this 100 times...biggest gross ever in TFI...A revolutionary movie in TFI with huge collections...Other movies and hero's tried to copy this but was not at all close to Magadheera..

What an amazing movie!!! The Telugu movie world is making history in Indian cinema. I am not much a fan of Telugu movies. But this one... I have no words to explain... was fantastic. It really impressed me. Music, action, romance, dance, special effects everything was perfect. The first item song was the only thing which was a little bit boring as far as the rest of the movie is considered. Ram Charan Theja is perfect for his role as Bhairava and he did it well. Fight scenes are absolutely overwhelming. The scene where hero chases the bus with a horse will really give you goose bumps. I must say bollywood has to learn a lot from Tollywood. If u compare Jodha Akbar and Magadheera, just looking at the fight scenes u can feel the difference. Jodha Akbar is a total waste of time and money. Overall, Magadheera is a must watch movie for all kind of viewers. It is a new epic in Indian film history.

Different movie compared to the run of the mill love stories currently - This has Ramcharan and Kajal playing lovers in 2 different eras. When I heard initially that it would be a rebirth story, I felt nostalgic about how it would shape up but seeing the movie made me completely reverse my opinions.The story starts impressively with Ramcharan (as Kaala Bhairava) and Kajal the princess talking in their dying moments. They are reborn as Harsha and Indhu. Read many comments that the next 30 Min's to 1 hour in the new world is boring, but the pair's bubbliness makes that enjoyable too. I would have loved Chiranjeevi to have done something different though. I always enjoyed the spontaneousness and effortless dance of Chiranjeevi and hence seeing Ramcharan dance was little bit anticlimax. The steps were great and he is a fabulous dancer, but you get a feeling that he is trying too hard to get the tough steps correctly which shouldn't be how dances are pictured :). The villain does great job of his part and deserves the brickbats he receives :). Rebirth - Special effects on Ramcharan touching Kajal's fingers can be termed as cinematic liberty though some of the sequences like jumping off the rooftop to reach helicopter and the final sumo bouncing to reach the helicopter are definitely aberrations that could have been avoided. Two scenes that highlight the entire movie are with Ramcharan as the warrior getting saved by his horse and the other one where he fights 100 Sher khan's soldier's single-handedly (reminiscent of the movie 300 with narrow passage and the fights that take place). Sheer brilliance !!! The movies visuals is great compared to their lousy official site: http://magadheera.com/. Music is good. Songs gel with the movie and hence are better viewed than listened, at least for the first few times. Overall a great movie that is thoroughly enjoyable even for viewing multiple times. And by the way, you can view it even if you don't understand Telugu and still be able to grasp the movie fully so do give it a try :)

the story happens in the year 1609. Kala Bhairava (Ram Charan Teja) is the protector/chief guard of Udayghad kingdom. Mitra (Kajal Agarwal) – the heir princess is in love with him. But there is a bad relative of the king who wants to marry her. Sher Khan (Srihari) plans to invade Udayghad. In the process ensued, all of them die. These four people take rebirth after 400 years in the contemporary era. Harsha (Ram Charan Teja) is a race biker. He falls in love with Indu (Kajal Agarwal). And a villain(BIL) called Raghuveer is after her. The rest of the story is all about how they trace themselves back to the past and settle the unfinished business.Ram charan is good in his dance and superb in fights and horse riding.But he is still continuing his over heroism even after chirutha(not soo good movie).first 45 mins of film is boring and makes u restless.the movie picks up the pace after that.but still a boring first half except the first episode which is good.the second half starts with past story in 1609a.d with udhaygad as flash back and it is the only interesting part of the film and back bone of it. whoever the artdirector is he has done splendid job.cinematography by senthil is good. rajmoulii deserves credit for doing such a movie with high budget but he must have made the first half decent.peter heins is at his best no words to say he has done a marvelous job.music is OK.background music is average.On a whole its OK for one time watch for its splendid visuals and fights.
