Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

nagarajubhu The entire movies revolves around the psychological problems of the lead actor. It is an unconventional film among out of the mill scripts of Telugu cinema. The cinematography and music are top-notch.The story is gripping, but screenplay has been deliberately spoiled to add commercial elements. The love track has little significance in the overall story. You can sleep during the entire Goa episode, and can still understand the main plot. The stunts and item song are not relevant at some places.The director Sukumar should have taken care of the screenplay, but he focused mainly on easter eggs which add no value to the overall plot. It's a potential movie, but spoiled just to match the commercial image of Mahesh. It'd probably have been a blockbuster if made faithful to the original theme.

sabazahmedmazumder This is totally different movie in the timeline of Indian cinema

swathipujari Story starts with an exasperating dream for Rock Star Gautham (Mahesh Babu) about his childhood. Into present, Gautham attends the Music concert and goes on for chase of villain Antonio (Kelly Dorjee) while Journalist Sameera (Kriti Sanon) shoots the entire episode. To everyone's shock, there is no one like Antonio and Gautham is declared of suffering with psycho-neurological disease of illusion. However, Gautham's soul is haunted by three faces (Pradeep Rawat, Naazar and Kelly Dorjee), who killed his parents in childhood. To recover the childhood memories and reconnect himself with past life, Gautham moves to Goa away from crowds. Sameera too follows him where a romantic bond is developed. Before Gautham begins to admit about the disease, few shocking incidents reveal on real existence of above mentioned three people linked to Gautham's school days and family life in London and Belfast. Both Gautham and Sameera step in London to untangle the past. The whole and sole credit (either positive or negative) of the film should be given only to Sukumar. This is a convoluted story with complicated screenplay. Matching the illusionary events in hero's life with real happenings is itself a new and confusing idea. This is where Sukumar's geometrical and computing techniques elevated the substance. Twists and turns placed at unequal intervals have surely deterred the final flavor. Rathnavelu's cinematography was a good work with lots of aerial shots catching the beauty of London, Belfast and Goa. Then, it's Karthik Srinivas editing required lot of sharpness to show the edge in Sukku's style of narration. In key episodes, the editing was fine but overall, lot of things needed to be trimmed. DSP's background was most of the time filled with theme music and for songs, he did a better job. Peter Heins stunt composition was new-fangled, especially the boat chase. Prem Rakshit's choreography was also new on Mahesh Babu. Technically, the film has no flaws and is a complete quality product. Production values of 14 Reels were mind blowing and every pie spent was visible on screen.Performance wise, this is new characterization for Mahesh Babu. Obviously, it's the disorientation and dither in his role is passed even to audience in theater. With a well toned body, Mahesh has blown a new angle of performance in him. He is just impeccable. Sometimes, we have no clue on where the story is heading and what is this Sukku screenplay? The romantic track in Goa was a complete flop show with nothing like chemistry between Mahesh and Kriti. Frustration builds up among viewers till interval block when the first legitimate twist mixed with good writing of Sukku ends the first half. Kriti Sanon is a drawback with weak look and annoying dubbing voice. Posani as Cab Driver in London tried to infuse some laughter. In fact, '1 Nenokkadine' lacks in fun which has become synonymous to entertainment for Telugu audience. Of the rest, Naazar was fine while Pradeep Rawat, Kelly Dorjee, Sayaji Shinde, Srinivas Reddy, Anu Hasan, Anand has nothing much to do. Mahesh Babu's son Gautham was a special attraction in childhood role of hero Gautham's character. Item song of Sophie Chowdary was also just average.

agnigreat This one psychological thriller lists in 2nd position in my thriller movie list, after inception. For many inception took a while to make sense. this one is a quick fire and superbly acted out by the lead. You won't be thinking of pausing the movie till you are finished. It will keep you glued to your seat, so make sure you get some snacks on you and enjoy this awesomeness Tonne of reasons why IMDb ranks this in 4th position. The direction has been executed very well and all other factors- the background music, the ambiance, the role played out by the lead in its most preciseness corroborate to its awesomeness. The only reason I can think of why this was not a box office hit is.....no idea!! Absolute awesomeness guys!! Try it for sure!! It is 4th for a reason!
