OK -- there's a few cheezy CGI shots in this film, but that's not a deal-breaker. 3 hours long but edited for strong pacing, and the acting is good on all parts (not great, but then it doesn't need to be). What counts most is the scripting, which is strong despite occasionally showing a bit of formula (hey, if it didn't work, it wouldn't be a formula!).
What really makes this action/revenge/comedy come alive is the introduction of Lord Hanuman into the story, wonderfully portrayed by Arjun Sarja. Nithiin is quite sympathetic as the lead, and Pilla Prasad is fairly likeable as the villain. Any scene with Prasad or Arjun is pretty engrossing, and there are wonderful locations and sets through the whole film. Also a shout-out to Sharmy Kaur, who doesn't get a very meaty part as the love interest but imbues what she gets with real fire. Definitely recommended, possibly even worth seeking out.
