Story :

Mahesh (Ajay) is son of Shankar Narayan(Prakash Raj) a politician, but goes to a state of coma for 14 long years while fighting against goons Don Nayak(Sonu Sood ) and Kota Srinivasa Rao. Shankar desires to see his son as politician but Ajay turns as cop and tries to take revenge on Nayak. Meanwhile, Shankar Narayana gets out of coma and doctor advises Ajay to care of him as anything that upsets him might again cause him problems. So, Ajay hides all the incidents happened in these years and starts a new drama to make his father happy. How Ajay saves his father and takes revenge on Nayak is rest of the story.

Performances:

Prince Mahesh Babu comes up with a superb performance especially in the comedic scenes. He is true superstar and the savior of this movie. His dialogs in various modulations and accent will be a treat to his fans. Samantha is gorgeous. Her steps in De thadi song are very good. She doesn’t have big role to play in the film. Brahmanandam’s role worked in parts and it was ‘howl’arious during the few scenes. Watch out for his outburst in the climax scene. Prakash Raj and Nasser are apt. Sonu Sood is perfect. MS Narayana is good. Dharmavarapu role hardly works. Parvathi Melton’ s item song is a bomb. The best one on screen alongside Dethadi.Suman, Nagababu, Vennela Kishore, Sayaji Shinde and all the actors did their parts well and are apt in their respective roles.

Analysis:

Dookudu has been released with huge hype with peak high expectations. The film is a Srinu Vytla’s brand entertainer Mahesh carries of the film on his shoulders with his dialogues, comic-timing, fights, dance and his charisma. He has tried out his best to land the film in the safe zone. Brahmanandam and MS Narayana are other assets for the movie. Srinu Vytla tried to play safe by including all the ingredients of Glamour, sentiment, action, romance and comedy to more extent to make it as an entertaining fare. Unfortunately, the Father-son’s emotionality did not work as it has moved with slow pace. All in All, the first half of Dookudu is pretty good while the second half is average with bit dragging, though had its own engaging moments of humor. Comedy quotient saves Dookudu to a good extent. Don’t expect too high from Dookudu so that you’ll thoroughly enjoy it.

Cinematography is top-rate and the exotic locales in the songs are well-shot. Dialogues by Kona Venkat are additional asset, few of them being hilarious. Thaman’s music is good but the background score could have been much better. Srinu Vytla’s direction was okay but despite roping in Super Star Mahesh, he has made a decent family entertainer without going for novel story.   Nevertheless, he showcased Mahesh Babu’s characterization in a new dimension and handled it carefully. A better Screenplay in the second half and slick editing could have made wonders at the Box-Office. Production values of 14 Reels Entertainment banner are good.

Verdict :

Dookudu is a good action entertainer, The movie has already taken bumper openings and is in the process of creating new records in few places. The producers have released the film in the right time cashing on Dussera season and it will hugely help in the collections.
