It has been fabulous to watch magnum opus on this weekend. My word is "splendid" effort by Rajamouli and Charan.
But truly RM deserves most of its credit for delivering this beautiful movie. Though there are some glitches in the movie as I always call RM's "labour flavour", on an overall the movie spellbound me.

Coming to story, it is again proved that packaging a simple story with a powerful screenplay can create wonders.
As all of you already know the story, I just jolt some points what I think worth mentioning.

Pros
- Excellent taking
- Magnificent visuals
- Awesome art work and apt BGM
- Good action sequences, especially the killing 100-people from Saithan ki Fouz was spectacular
- Direction by SSR
- Songs picturization and photography by Senthil Kumar
- Last not but least, Charan's powerful performance
- The emotional scene RCT jumps immediately after Kajal slips into valley was superb

Cons
- Movie's flow was discontinuous because of lot of editing work
- Climax would have been more powerful
- Some of scenes like Kajal feeling RCT's presence and Eve-teasing episode reminded previous movies (Pokiri and Kushi)
- Chiru's episode was totally unnecessary and little irritating too
- It was not justified that Harsha hasn't killed Indu's father. This is totally ridiculous

All these hitches can be ignored as the powerful flashback has overshadowed them. If you have not watched the movie already, I would strongly recommend it.
Do not go with biased opinions. RCT is good, but not the best like his father. His stylish fights and energy are commendable. Kajal was cute. Someone like Ajay would have done better job as villain. Rest all did their job.

Tailpiece: If there is a telugu movie to be dubbed into any other language, without a second throught I would say it is "Magadheera"
