Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

rambvrm Siddharth Abhimanyu (who grows up to be Arvind Swamy) who goes to jail for a crime he didn't commit, so that his father (Posani) could get an MLA ticket in return. Cut to the present when Dhruva (Ram Charan) an IPS trainee, is introduced as a do-good-er despite bending a few rules with his friends to solve petty crimes. Dhruva lives by the philosophy that "your enemy decides your capacity" and he aims to choose an enemy who has the power to control "a 100 criminals".Siddharth Abhimanyu (Arvind Swamy) is an young and top scientist in India who has a criminal network which he operates clandestinely. Dhruva who is looking for a bigger target stumbles upon the secret criminal activities of Siddharth. Rest of the story is all about how they outsmart each other before Dhruva winning the duel.Ram Charan is perfect for the role of a tough and an intelligent cop. His physical transformation (6-pack and hair-cup) suited the character excellently. His styling is great. His performance in a couple of scenes (proposal scene to heroine and death scene of a friend) is first-rate. Arvind Swamy proves that audiences can also fall in love with a villain while rooting for the hero. The writer has redefined the role of a villain with such a good looking, intelligent yet evil character and Arvind Swamy entices you with his terrific performance. Rakul Preet Singh brings glamour and love to this otherwise intense drama. Navdeep and Randhir are good as few of Dhruva's buddies. The character of Posani Krishna Murali provides a bit of comic relief (though didn't yield the desired results fully). Sayaji Shinde and Madhu Singampalli (Chakravakam fame) are good as baddies.

manideepkarne The movie starts with slow pace for 15 minutes then tracks to racy. Every minute of this movie is worth watching.This is Ram Charan's best in his career. Acting wise Charan had done justice to it he is improving film by film. Rakul Preet cute and hot as ever. Aravind Swamy is superb. Navdeep had nailed his character. Direction of Surender Reddy is superb his demands really worked out. Cinematography is awesome. Songs were uniquely awesome, Pareshanura song is my favorite, Neethoney Dance song Charan dance moves pretty cool really enjoyed. Overall movie is pure Blockbuster. Yes its best movie of Tollywood this year. A perfect end and more importantly its better than original Thani Oruvan.

Pruthvi Eshwar Directed by Surender Reddy (Suri), 'Dhruva' stars Ram Charan, Arvind Swamy and Rakul Preet in the lead roles. A guy named Dhruva, highly motivated since childhood to know what's the actual reason behind various crimes happening in his country eventually develops a knack to read between lines and becomes vigorous investigator and also a focused IPS officer. Soon after his posting, he faces a worthy challenge in the form of Arvind Swamy who is the epitome of criminals in India. How Dhruva deals with Arvind is for us to see. To put it even simpler, Dhruva is an official remake of 2015 cult hit 'Thani Oruvan'. And frankly speaking, this one is at par with the original with some note worthy improvisations. The first half feels a very little dragged in the start and races away to the interval once the villain is introduced. The drag comes due to the "Now let's drool over RCT's body" kinda intro song which wasn't actually necessary, but you know, it's TFI! Anyways, the post interval gets yet another commercial break with Rakul sizzling away in 'Pareshaanura' and how! An eye feast you see. Later the pace builds up and the game between Ram and Arvind gets more and more intriguing and ends up on a beautiful note. Kudos to Suri for his excellent improvisation in the climax with his '8' concept and also a few tweaks here and there. Rest of the story and screenplay he kept intact with the original, which seemed to serve the purpose. The dialogues were pretty good written by Mohan Raja. One of the greatest assets to the film is the cinematography by P S Vinod. The OST by Hip-hop Tamizha is also real good, no wonder they'd make real good ringtones. Coming to the performances, Rakul was really good with her dialogue delivery and was really gorgeous too. Arvind Swamy was the best of the lot. He was so good as the evil charactered Siddharth Abhimanyu, impeccable. But RCT was competitive too. There is this moment of catharsis in the second half for Dhruva where RCT excelled in his skills and that particular sequence can be considered one of the best in his career. And that's more than enough to say how well he performed. Probably the only flaw with the film would be the editing by Naveen Nooli which wasn't upto the mark, choppy in the pre climax scenes. There is this saying which goes like "A movie is as good as it's villain" and that when applied to this flick, you dare doubt the capacity of Siddharth Abhimanyu, one of the best characterized villains of all time. This is a solid hit, just go for it.

pranavadvaith Dhruva is a milestone for Ram Charan. Performance wise Ram Charan gave his Best in this movie. Although, it is a remake this film gave a very good respect to the original movie never changed anything but while watching this movie you'll never get bored. Especially Aravaind swami gave a magic performances in many scenes. Other actors like Rakul Preet, Navdeep and Posani has done their part. Another asset for this movie is music.It was composed by Hiphop Tamizha, tunes are very good with gripping Background. Everything in this movie was perfect costumes of every actor represents their character cinematography looks very rich Finally Dhruva is a two men show
