Pokiri

Pokiri - Telugu word meaning mischievous guy. This movie is a great treat for Mahesh Babu fans. I had never liked him before this movie. For the first time, I can say that he is good.
The movie shows him as one guy who would do anything and work for anyone who would gives him money. He is very powerful and has guts that make others fear him. He works for a mafia don and finishes off his rival mafia group thus becoming the don's favourite and envy for the others peers in the mafia.
Ileana looks cute and beautiful. Mahesh babu's attitude towards her has been one plus point for the movie. No heavy dialogues, nothing, just simple and casual behaviour of his towards her is good and very much new. He does not regret what he does and tells her the same.
There are two songs that I liked in the movie.. one 'Godavari... ' and the other 'vaddantunna chustune unta.....' and the dance steps given to mahesh are quite good. Makes you feel like watching the songs again and again.
There is also a comedy track with brahmanandam as a software engineer who is bugged by beggars.

A last minute twist to the story delights the movie watchers. All in all, a good movie to spend three hours.
