1: Nenokkadine (2014)

One of my all time favorites.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The action of mahesh babu is awesome and the direction is very good.It will change the tollywood

Bestest and favorite movie of Mahesh...Acting , bgm, action was brilliant....Overall an epic masterpiece of TFI

see as it was a box office flop,i still doubt how it was flop. After watching this movie i was in refresh state like awesome movie,honey punch movie. Still wondering it is box office flop movie,but don't let you down guys it is an awesome movie,let the literacy rate in A.p increase then sure it will be small screen hit in future. keep on doing this movies 10/10 for all crew 9.9/10 for music, all the best guys.Psychological Thriller ,genuine,super fine locations ,awesome director,mind blowing screenplay,though story line look like old if you direct and screenplay like this everyone will watch the movie for days without boring

Story starts with an exasperating dream for Rock Star Gautham (Mahesh Babu) about his childhood. Into present, Gautham attends the Music concert and goes on for chase of villain Antonio (Kelly Dorjee) while Journalist Sameera (Kriti Sanon) shoots the entire episode. To everyone's shock, there is no one like Antonio and Gautham is declared of suffering with psycho-neurological disease of illusion. However, Gautham's soul is haunted by three faces (Pradeep Rawat, Naazar and Kelly Dorjee), who killed his parents in childhood. To recover the childhood memories and reconnect himself with past life, Gautham moves to Goa away from crowds. Sameera too follows him where a romantic bond is developed. Before Gautham begins to admit about the disease, few shocking incidents reveal on real existence of above mentioned three people linked to Gautham's school days and family life in London and Belfast. Both Gautham and Sameera step in London to untangle the past. The whole and sole credit (either positive or negative) of the film should be given only to Sukumar. This is a convoluted story with complicated screenplay. Matching the illusionary events in hero's life with real happenings is itself a new and confusing idea. This is where Sukumar's geometrical and computing techniques elevated the substance. Twists and turns placed at unequal intervals have surely deterred the final flavor. Rathnavelu's cinematography was a good work with lots of aerial shots catching the beauty of London, Belfast and Goa. Then, it's Karthik Srinivas editing required lot of sharpness to show the edge in Sukku's style of narration. In key episodes, the editing was fine but overall, lot of things needed to be trimmed. DSP's background was most of the time filled with theme music and for songs, he did a better job. Peter Heins stunt composition was new-fangled, especially the boat chase. Prem Rakshit's choreography was also new on Mahesh Babu. Technically, the film has no flaws and is a complete quality product. Production values of 14 Reels were mind blowing and every pie spent was visible on screen.Performance wise, this is new characterization for Mahesh Babu. Obviously, it's the disorientation and dither in his role is passed even to audience in theater. With a well toned body, Mahesh has blown a new angle of performance in him. He is just impeccable. Sometimes, we have no clue on where the story is heading and what is this Sukku screenplay? The romantic track in Goa was a complete flop show with nothing like chemistry between Mahesh and Kriti. Frustration builds up among viewers till interval block when the first legitimate twist mixed with good writing of Sukku ends the first half. Kriti Sanon is a drawback with weak look and annoying dubbing voice. Posani as Cab Driver in London tried to infuse some laughter. In fact, '1 Nenokkadine' lacks in fun which has become synonymous to entertainment for Telugu audience. Of the rest, Naazar was fine while Pradeep Rawat, Kelly Dorjee, Sayaji Shinde, Srinivas Reddy, Anu Hasan, Anand has nothing much to do. Mahesh Babu's son Gautham was a special attraction in childhood role of hero Gautham's character. Item song of Sophie Chowdary was also just average.
