Katamarayudu First Day Talk

Power Star Pawan Kalyan's 'Katamarayudu' hit the screens today across the globe and carried above average to hit reports through its early morning shows. Pawan Kalyan's getup as Katamarayudu and his mannerisms are said to be highlights in the film. Every movement and every expression of his were received superbly by fans. Shruti Haasan looked dazzling. Her curvy assets in revealing costumes in songs were soothing. 

Ali and Pawan Kalyan's brothers Ajay, Shiva Balaji, Kamal Kamaraju and Chaitanya Krishna did a great job in the first half. Hilarious scenes run among Pawan Kalyan, Ali, brothers and Shruti Haasan were pleasant and the love track between Pawan and Shruti was nice. Rao Ramesh, Nasser and Pradeep Rawat fitted the bill while Prudhvi was wasted. Though audio album was a let down, songs picturization was upto the mark. Fans went on frenzy with 'Jivvu Jivvu' and 'Mira mira messam' songs. BGM of Anup was okay. Among action sequences, train fight was the best.

Second half appeared something like a regular commercial potboiler with too many action sequences without many twists. Elevation of heroism was good.  Rajini's Basha was remembered when Pawan Kalyan collecting school documents from a goon.

Comparatively, first half of the film was better than second half. At the trade, the movie was opened with record collections with encouraging word of mouth. But then, the movie's exact fate depends upon how well the people would receive it in the forthcoming days.
