Review: perfect example for average. Nagarjuna was awesome in the movie,he is looking so young,the movie consists of more mass elements and comedy of Brahamanandam . Both heroins are looking nice,songs are not that much impressive. There are more twists in 2nd half but climax is not that much impressive. More fights and more villain's in the movie. Nagarjuna's acting showed audience a different angle in him. The flash back is little bit boring. Audience has expected more from the director because of his recent movie bindaas which is block buster in the last year. Finally u can watch the movie which was better in recent time. A good gift for audience from Nag and the director Veeru Potla.. action filled flick ..... Review: the story was average. It did not have any impact, with some twists which were seen in 2nd half , left viewers awe struck for a while. The narrative was OK. The first half was good and set the momentum for the next half. But the graph went down and with songs at crucial points of movie turned it into a regular mass masala. The climax was not up to the mark as it did not create an impact. Screenplay was tight in first half and went down a bit in second half. Direction was apt. the lead cast got a prominent role to perform. Heroines were not utilized to full extent. Villains are there to shout and not perform anything in terms of action. Editing was crisp in first 30 minutes , then it lost the impact. Only two songs were catchy and was good to hear. Background score was apt. but a high voltage action script needed a better score. Cinematography was brilliant both in movie and songs. Comedy was good enough , but seemed overdosed. Action episodes are nearly overdosed. Cgi effects are good in first song and titles. Art department needs a special mention for some songs. In climax the visual effects seemed a bit tacky. Out of 4 action scenes, only first one was impressive rest all seemed very boring and did not give an impact. Finally ragada ends up as a good movie. It had all the elements to make it a hit one. But due to lack of any impact in story and songs , ragada could not make that mark. But is watchable once for nag king and comedy elements. Rating: 6/10. All rounder. This is one of the few movies where it has all of it but was not successful due to what so ever reason.
