Review of Athadu

Athadu (2005)
6/10
An attempt to be thriller
29 August 2005
Seen this movie, since my wife was pestering me. The story is simple and straight forward. Mahesh Babu (Nandu) is a contract killer. He is hired to fake an assassination attempt on the leader of opposition. In the last minute, someone actually kills the leader and so our hero is on the run. If you thought the rest of the movie was about the hero solving the mystery, then u r not a Telugu movie viewer. Because our producers have something else in mind. The hero has to have a heroine. Our guy has to be the savior and do great things. Of course don't forget the duets and the cute love story situations. In the end he does solve the mystery and in true Telugu movie hero style comes out winner and gets his girl! No points if u figure out who the killer is and who is behind the whole thing. I did in 10 minutes. The movie is full of 3D freeze frames, fast action, spl effects and all that. Oh BTW, if any of u guys are wondering about the sequences after the assassination scene, the escape and all that, its in Hyderabad (AP) and was the games village for the 22nd national games. And there is no railway track within 3kms radius. Thats where our spl effects guys have done the trick. Watch it if u like. My wife absolutely loved it and wants to see it once more. So the 6/10 rating. otherwise I would have given 4.
