Analysis :
Rajamouli's grand vision made him successful in every film he directed. His dedication towards his work is sure to make his name stand tall in the pages of Tollywood. Though this film has shades of Myth, Magadheera is entirely different from it. This film is made with 40crores has rich production values. Words wouldn’t suffice to explain the eperience of technical extravaganza depicted in this film. It’s just spellbinding.Music: Keeravani's are well in tune with theme of the film. he penned down lyrics to the song – “Neekosam Juttu peekkunte”.and scored music for it too. Melodious song – Panchadara Bommma and the remix of Bangaru Kodipetta (from Gharana Mogudu) received excellent response from the audience. The sets of title song “Dheera dheera.... magadheera ”, its sound effects and re-recording are awesome.cinematography: Top-notch camera work by Senthil Kumar is one of the strong points of the flick. Special effects and graphics are also superb if you look at it with Indian film standards in mind. Graphics and 3D effects were neatly presented. His work is on par with international films.Dialogues: M.Ratnam penned down good dialogues for the flick.Songs: All are excellently penned and tuned.Art&Styling: Art director Ravinder's work is really commendable. The Udaigadh set is almost real! The film looks grand, all because of this art director! The same with styling too.. Mrs Rama Rajamouli's costumes for the cast for both periods are perfectly suitable.Action: Peter Heynes and Ram-Lakshman's ction episodes are good.
TeluguOne Perspective :
In this movie, Ram Charan Teja gets an opportunity to do some real good performance and he performs them convincingly with effortless ease. And he had gone through tremendous physical toil in this film as it involves horse riding, sword fighting, dances and many more. His dance in Bangaru Kodipetta after the completion of Chiranjeevi’s appearance is stunning.He is gifted with a good voice and he should fine tune it further to come up with pristine Telugu diction. Kajal is perfect fit to the role of a charming princess. She is so cute in her looks and her chemistry with Ram Charan works greatly on the screen. Dev Gil as villan gives tough competition to the current villains of Telugu cinema. In the film, he seems a perfect opponent for Ram Charan. Sri Hari as Muslim warrior Sher Khan is quite wonderful. He added value to the movie on a whole. Rao Ramesh as Aghora scores with good performance. Though the comedy track of Brahmanandam, Hema and Sunil fails to provide humor, it is Sunil who walks away with good score for his performance. Others did justice to their characters. Megastar Chiranjeevi appears for a short while and audience thoroughly enjoy it.A must watch movie for cine lovers. Magadheera is spell-binding and it is the best bet for entertainment in this season. This flick can be enjoyed by all section sof audiences. Just go for it!
