1: Nenokkadine

Talking about "1" , It's simply a one man show and the man who dared to make such a film with such a big star of TFI really needs to be applauded.Firstly talking about Mahesh Babu , who as usual , did a really good job in his new kinda character which he never ever essayed before in his career. Gautam Krishna , was cute and made his presence felt. When it come to the story line of the film which is so fragile that Sukumar moulded it into a solid massive 'ONE' with his talent of writing a highly gripping screenplay. Yes , I do admit that the screenplay and story is an inspiration from a 2002 Hollywood blockbuster "The Bourne Identity" , but don't label it to be a copy , no. In the first half , the director did miss a lot of logics and left many lose ends which remain untied , but the pacy and even more gripping second half makes you overlook all those small tweaks and flaws in the screenplay. The length of the second half was a little too long since the director had to incorporate the unwanted commercial elements , simply to attract masses , which should have been taken care about. The best scene of the whole film is the Interval scene. And when it comes to the tech department , the first man to get an applause is the DOP , 'Rathnavelu'. The best visuals were in "Sayonara" and "Your My Love" songs. The fight scenes were taken greatly , the DOP used different colours for different situations. The editor 'Karthika Srinivas' , 'Swamy Ra Ra' fame , did a really good job. Needs to be appreciated. Kriti Sanon was very glamorous and gorgeous and pulled off her character well, Dancing was good and was a nice pick against Mahesh. Overall , this "ONE" does have those so called "Hollywood Standards" and even has an ample dose of family sentiment. Bored of routine family drama or senseless mass flick , grab a ticket for "ONE" which leaves you with a good feeling when you leave the theatre. Really a 150 buck worth flick.

I should say 1 nenokkadine is a kind of experiment in tollywood as we experience them very low especially from a star.The story is simple and the screenplay plays the magic role and it still needs to be tightened.The plot used to narrate it is quite unusual for telugu audience.Editing is average and music provides great strength.

coming to performances mahesh babu who never fails as an actor is main strength of the movie.His look was a feast to his fans and his expressions in emotional scenes were top notch.kriti sanon played her part well.I should really appreciate director for choosing a different subject to provide audience a different experience in Hollywood style.But the main problem in the movie is it lacks sufficient suspense to hold the audience to their seat.The psychological problems of the main character creates problems for the common man to understand it.This movie is understood by each person in their own way.Some hate it to hell and some love to core

Cinematography should be mentioned specially as it is heart of the movie.Stunts are good and twists make you stick to the story between some loose scenes.Overall it reaches high mark on Hollywood movie lovers and common telugu audience must see it in different way but not by routine telugu film formula

1 nenokkadine is a movie which has been making the headlines since the release of its first and second teasers. the director and other crew members were saying this will be a different movie and mahesh babu himself said that this will be one of his best films .

coming to the movie , it starts with a song which has become quite popular by now in the youth(WHO R U) . the way the hero's condition was explained was not satisfying enough but mahesh carried the first half on his shoulders with some good acting and killer looks . he has become lean and fit , looks quite energetic in the movie. comedy is not very much part of the script but the inline comedy between the scenes was fair enough . the romance parts at the beach and other places was good.

the interval was just superb with the twist included and mahesh was so very good in that scene .

the second half picks up pace from where it left and this is where the audience gets to know the actual story of the film . the action scenes in the second half are breathtaking and every scene is a visual delight.

mahesh babu was excellent in the film with his own style and looks in the movie

kriti sanon - not a popular name till now but her acting skills are very good . A promising actress with nice looks .

all the other casting members made their roles look good enough .

positives -

mahesh babu ( from dressing styles to acting ) the action sequences the screenplay the plot twists music and BGM by devi sri prasad

negatives -

less entertainment factor slow narration not much scope for a heroine in this movie

overall one of the best film of mahesh babu and a different storyline altogether .

a must watch if you are a movie lover and are quite bored of the regular mass masala movies in the Telugu film industry.

hats off to mahesh babu for choosing such a different script .

Its the same excitement that bring to every tollywood movie guy when they have watched a film in full 'Color' during the times of 'black and white' cinematography.

Usually most of the 'Tollywood' films has typically a nice formulae. Start with a fight, a song, chase the villains, two more fights, 10 jokes, fight in climax and END. But This film is completely different. A film that could set standards to the upcoming ones. A completely different road that has been put up this film. And this might be the one of the best films in Tollywood that makes you to be in the script till the end.

This not like other movies which defines the laws of the physics. And every other director who are using the usual formulae should see this and try to change the way how it has been taken up by Mr Sukumar.

Its awesome. Its a huge leap for tollywood. Excellent cinematography, excellent script (thou it has loosened a bit in the middle) excellent direction, Most stunning background music and good crew. I must also appreciate the Background Music. Mr Devi Sri Prasad has really done an excellent experiment with tuning the same music tone and using it for the different versions. So, when you come out of the theatre, you can still hear the same music. This is awesome.

And to understand it you must put your complete concentration on the movie. If some body tells you that this is crap them it means that they haven't seen movies like Dark Knight/Inception/Breaking Bad which give the nostalgia in the end.

Proud to write a review about a movie like this.

Credit for this movie first goes to Director Sukumar for perfect execution of Story which he want to portray. Secondly Mahesh Babu showed his guts in accepting this movie.

For the First Time, A Telugu movie viewer Tasted a Hollywood range movie in Telugu Film Industry. The Film from Tip to Bottom portrays an extraordinary Thriller gripping the audience.

Without any unwanted Comedy sequences, Film mainly concentrates on the Story line. Title 1 Nenokkadine Justifies with only Gowtham's Quest to find his identity.

Though the common audience confuses with Kriti Sanon character in the first half, Director handled that confusion very Handily before Interval.

Screenplay was Extraordinary. Background Music by Devi Sri Prasad gave a new life to the movie, though the songs are misplaced. Cinematography is the main Asset for the movie, it made the film a visual Grandeur.

Mahesh Babu looks Very Handsome in the movie.

Some People may need a second watch to understand the complexity in the script. Hollywood Movie Buffs will like the movie a lot.

Overall A Welcoming Change to Telugu Film Industry.

I Rate 9 out of 10 (HIT)
