Story & Final Verdict:
SUPERSTAR Mahesh Babu is looking for a complete entertainer like Dhookudu as Srimanthudu also suffered from few flaws here & there. Maharshi is certainly one such film which is rightly picked by him for being a landmark film.
Rishi a character which has high ambitions & versatility in the approach that surprises everyone at each phase of his life where the college episodes certainly resemble the ICONIC '3Idiots' backdrop adapted well to our nativity. Mahesh look & body language will be a treat for his fans in this episode. Remaining 2 phases are just obvious in mahesh films these days, so dealt with utmost care is what we can say on those episodes. Mahesh nailed it with his style of excellence throughout & each & every actor complimented him to the best possible way. Allari naresh plays a meaty role as far as the content is concerned. He pulled it off with ease. Resembling Aadi Pinisetty role in 'Rangasthalam' partly at times though. Prakashraj / Rao Ramesh played up to the potential even though their roles are small. Pooja hegde is adequate & apt.
Vamshi Paidipalli succeeded in execution part to the major extent but most of the times he hurried through the scenes which is evident towards the end as one may feel restlessness. Some sort of calmness would have made it more brilliant. Nevertheless he did a great job delivering a great content balancing the star image of the lead actor though the content looks a mix of tamil biggies Kathi/Sarkar & 3idiots put together partly. Songs are adequate but DSP could have given a better BGM in many sequences
Excellent Writing Decent taking with brilliant performances though ended up abruptly in the point of view of a commercial audience and bit lengthy. Should be a One time watch for all the audience.
