Let me tell you about the story first. Shankar Narayan (Prakash Raj) is an idealistic politician in Hyderabad who thinks and does good for his people and the people love him back. But, rival politician and a Mumbai gangster, Nayak (Sonu Sood) plot together and assassinate the good man. Years later, Shankar Narayan's son, Ajay (Mahesh Babu) picks up his father's traits, to become an IPS officer with incredible records. He is just a chip of the old block and much more i.e. daring and dashing. So, he devises his own plots and sub-plots to avenge everyone who was involved in his father's demise. How could an officer from the IPS, devise such fraudulent schemes such as reality shows with third-rate actors is beyond me. But, thats the best plan he could adopt for dramatic politicians and gangsters like the ones in Dookudu. The politicians, gangsters, reality show actors and even the IPS officers give comic relief to the audience amidst the blood and gore. The theatre around me resounded with happy laughter from the funny dialogues and antics of the actors.
The hero, whom my friend recommended was the reason I tagged along with my friends to see the movie. He looked dashing and very casual in checked shirts, which he wore throughout the movie. But, I liked him best when he donned his police suit (towards the very end of the movie), because he is a police man afterall (who is on a secret mission and hence, the fashionable clothing). Mahesh Babu has undergone some transformation from his earlier days! Today he looks better and his styling works because women like bad boys. Just see his before-after pictures on Google images.
The heroine (Samantha Ruth Prabhu), while pretty is only lip gloss to this movie. Her designers made very pretty clothes for her and we all hope to copy them soon. Ofcourse, we'll look only quarter as good as her, with corsets to control the flab and no padding to help us achieve that hour glass figure. :)
The songs, they are meant to be heard and enjoyed in a theatre. The only one that stuck and keeps drumming in my ears is the night-club soundtrack (Puvvai Puvvai) which featured an even more beautiful woman (Parvati Melton) dancing opposite Mahesh Babu. Her google images are not as flattering as her appearance and performance in the song, which I (and many men) enjoyed very much.
The violence is never ending in this very long movie. I waited, not very patiently, for the intermission because I had felt as much tired and beaten as the villains had been. During violent fight sequences, I resorted to covering my eyes and ears with my sticky fingers (they were sticky from eating Nachos, Cheese and Salsa).
Overall, I'd say I enjoyed this movie with my friends. And the rest of the audience loved it much more than I did because I had a disadvantage which others didn't.
This was my first Telugu movie and I don't know the language. :)
