script: leader is a brave attempt by director . he drives the movie really good and gives the movie a splendid finish. the movie is all about hero the son of chief minister of Andra pradesh who is an entrepreneur in USA. after the blast of his father , he decides to become c.m but cousin opposes him. after becoming c.m he faces many difficulties. how he overcomes and emerges as a leader is in the script.

casting: Rana is a pick for the movie. his dialog delivery and his height factor along with a stupendous look is the plus point. his lady love richa is OK. priya anand is supportive. suhasini manirathram is a good mother. kota is a stubborn and corruptive uncle. rest all apt.

screenplay: the movie in the first half , is well made and is fast.

the movie drags a bit in 2nd half. camera work is good.

action/drama: the movie is more dramatic rather than action oriented. there is no any action scene except a slap scene and some bullets along with a blast and fire scene.

songs/art : art work is apt. songs like vande mataram and leader title song is good. background score is well hitched. DTS mix at right intervals are apt. DTS mix is powerful during rain thunder storm.

final analysis: the first half is good to watch. the second half is a drag bit. though the climax is convincing. leader is a must watchable movie.

A complete shift from his earlier films, Sekhar Kammula has yet again struck the right lines while directing this film.

I had lot of doubt before the movie got released, as to whether Sekhar really had the story and the guts to pull off such a film, but he did with an incredible style. The story though seems inspired from real life incidents is very well written and the dialogues are brilliant. The film slackens a bit in the second half, but the ending is a high adrenaline jump as the old man's scene moves you completely. The background music is inspiring and brings you goose-bumps every time the Leader's title track instrumental comes along.

Rana should be appreciated a lot for staying away from the commercial launch for his first film and even his subtle expressions and underplay deserves a sound applause. Finally a must watch.

Kudos to director Sekhar kammula.. And What a way to make a debut.. Rana..❤

One word is sufficient to describe Leader (2010) : Awesome ! Its intelligent movie making at its best. Decent acting from the entire cast, clever direction and editing. Music is a high point - the 'Maa Telugu Thalliki' song is one of the best this year. The last time i saw a telugu movie with this kind of screenplay was in the 90s.

Leader is like a whiff of fresh breeze to the telugu movie industry. If any of you out there are irritated at the kind of Indian movies that are made today, you will be pleasantly surprised with Leader. Its a director's show all the way. Shekhar Kammula's vision is extraordinary. The way he has built up the tension throughout the movie and his use of crispy dialogue to drive the idea home is commendable.

Given Andhra pradesh's political scenario today, Leader could not have come at a better time. The only downside to the movie is love affair that develops in the second half, kind of immature, but the rest of the movie and the expectation of the climax is enough to sustain the audience's attention throughout.

Underplay is completely absent in our movies, Rana Daggubati has made history with his portrayal. For an actor his age and given that this is his first full-length feature film, its amazing the way he has shown restraint and poise. The guy who plays an assistant to Rana in the film has done a wonderful job.

Most importantly, this movie gives hope to all the people of Andhra and India as well, that we can do away with money power and caste politics if we believed in ourselves, and if we have a Leader who can lead by example.

Hope the industry produces more good movies such as this. 8.5/10 !
