Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

durgamdhinesh First of all, the title of this movie not apt at all. All the hero does is run mafia in the name of business. When I heard about the title, I thought movie would be about how deals his business and whether he come up with a formula for a specific problem which no corporate companies haven't so far. But I thought that was much to expect when I saw the movie.This movie is complete contrast to pokiri. In which protagonist tries to wipe out the mafia and it picturises how evil mafia could be. But talking about businessman, puri jagannath somehow realizes how important mafia is for the country.There are many moments in the movie that doesn't make sense and make you laugh. At the end of the movie mahesh babu delivers a message to the youth which has nothing to do with the story and that is one of 'LOL' moment in the movie.

Sridhar Talatam The first thing I would say about this movie is "disaster". I expected a lot from this combination - Mashesh & Puri Jagannadh. But to my dismay, nothing has been really great in this movie. The story is highly unrealistic. Mahesh sets a goal himself which is like riding on a tiger. He doesn't know how to get off from it without being eaten. The expansion of his empire is very illogical. The entire police force though knowing who Surya bhai is and his whereabouts wouldn't be able to do anything. There is no explanation how the hero is brought up in home town.. its just the one-liner sympathy story that he tells to Kajol and we're on our own to interpret things -- Complete nonsense. The storyline is similar to Pokiri and the direction is as expected. There's nothing new to watch. The events are not well connected. The movie is full of flaws. The only good thing about the movie is Mahesh's performance. As always he delivered his 100% and the comedy done by him and his assistance is great. Finally, this movie is an average.

aphitsindia The Businessman has a mix of action, image, dialogue and montage but what makes it entertaining is that all the above quantities are inextricably bound and linked together at every level with an admirably tight script. It is a regular story but structurally, technically and content wise, the director makes no mistakes. He puts the passion of Neninthe, entertainment of Dhookudu and structure ofPokiri to churn out a story that really means business. The film benefits from other pre- release factors like Mahesh's super success of Dhookudu, Thaman's 'inspired'tunes that have already become a big hit and finally the lessons that Puri Jagannadh had learnt from his recent string of flops.The film has no frills, no vulgar wastage and the hero is practically in every frame; you hear only his voice, he looks good, sounds good, he also steals the comedian's job. The story is woven around a man who is hungry for power and grows by leaps and bounds to become a mafia don at a time when the competition is zilch in Mumbai. With little brawn and more brain he becomes a successful businessman, as crime is his business.The thrills for the audience, amoral enjoyment arrives with every step that Surya (Mahesh) climbs, he has the uncanny ability to deceive, to lie convincingly on all scales, as though this was second nature. Yet he is compelling when he speaks the truth. Mahesh plays it straight. His growth should have been slightly slow in the first few minutes allowing the audience to settle down with his character.The choreography is disappointing. No complaints on Kajal Agarwal's work, but the innocence in her eyes is gone. Ayesha who plays her friend is irritatingly screechy. The film has been given an A certificate not for violence or obscenity but for the dialogues that have the unmistakable Puri Jagan touch — rustic, raw and very profane.Jagan repeats most of the Pokiri team — Nasser, Prakash Raj, Sayaji Shinde, Subburaju and Brahmaji. However, there is no hangover as all the performances are fresh. The director's son Aakash who worked in Lotus Pond plays the young Mahesh here. Shweta Baradwaj's We Love Bad Boys borders on the vulgar, and there are scenes where the hero rolls out expletives, in muted fashion though the lip movement makes it very clear what the character is saying. Smart work, Puri.The director's tribute to Mumbai mafia redefines a cool and a brisk flourish. It seems like Puri cannot resist giving the hero's character a Robinhood touch. All in all, The Businessman is a good festival serving of cinema that brings back director Puri Jagan in form and officially crowns the hero for delivering two back-to-back hits.

sasikanth20 Mahesh and Puri!! Their last film broke Telugu movie records, and you expect this one to be a bigger and better movie. But due to my recent experiences, I went to watch without any expectations, and at the end of the film I walked out quite satisfied. The movie makes no sense, has no story or nothing, but thanks to the brilliant acting by Mahesh, and pretty good dialogues by Puri, Businessman is a decent watch.Filming for the first time without his favorite actors Ali or Brahmanandam, Puri Jagannadh makes Businessman without a comedy track. Thanks to the slick screenplay, you never notice the lack of comedy though. There are highs and lows, but overall, it works. Might not be as big a hit as Pokiri, and might not run in multiplexes, but is sure to run houseful in B and C centers.Watch it only for Mahesh and Puri. If you like neither of them, then go watch some other movie.For a deatiled review, please visit: sasikanth.blogspot.com/2012/01/movie-review-businessman.html
