Review-in-pics: Review of Dookudu

Mahesh Babu's Dookudu has opened to packed houses.

Expectations are high for this much-awaited Telugu flick, starring 'Prince' Mahesh Babu.

The film also stars Prakash Raj and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The movie is directed by Srinu Vaitla.

'Daring and dashing' is the tagline of this action-packed drama and it describes Mahesh Babu's character to the hilt.

He pretty much makes up the film, combining powerful action, emotions and deft foot work.

Mahesh Babu plays Ajay Kumar an IPS officer, the son of an honest politician, hot on a trail of crooks.

Mahesh's chase takes him to Istanbul where he meets his lady love, Samantha Ruth Prabbu.

Dabangg's Chedi Singh aka Sonu Sood plays a baddie in the film.

Mahesh Babu's style, dialogues and his fight sequences are a plus. Samantha Ruth Prabhu is largely an eye-candy in the film.

Attempting to match the exotic backdrop, Samantha Ruth Prabhu mostly wears skimpy outfits and towering heels.

Brahmanandam's comedy and MS Narayana's parody of other heroes works well.

Despite the star cast, the film's biggest flaw is the weak screenplay and several illogical sequences.

The film reminds us of Srinu Vaitla's previous films, such as Ready, Dhee, King etc.

While the film's songs are chartbusters, the picturisation fail to impress.
Last word: Dookudu is a movie for die-hard Prince fans. Watch if you are one.
