Jr NTR has impressed everyone with his amazing acting, which is the highlight of Aravinda Sametha. NTR Jr dialogue modulation, emotions and action blocks are highlights of the film.

Director Trivikram stuck to the core point throughout the film without any sub plots or deviations. An action block in first 20 minutes of the film, and Trivikram executed it in style.

Music and background score by S S Thaman are very good.

Positives : NTR's performance Trivikram's writing is excellent in many scenes First 20 minutes of the film, Climax in 2nd half Jagapathi Babu's performance.

Story: The story solely revolves around how Aravinda becomes the only answer to various questions and implausible problems that Veera Raghava faces in his post-traumatic quest of finding oneself. This is probably Trivikram's best writing of female characters in his films. Though this film does not wipe out all the criticism against him in this regard, it does until a certain extent.

Screenplay: Guruji wastes no times at all. Right from the heart pounding opening sequence up until the exhilarating conclusion, with each act he keeps taking the movie a notch higher. The character arc of Raghava is really fascinating to watch as it is kinda first time in TFI that this type of a factionist's portrayal has taken shape. Whenever possible, guruji hasn't hesitated to add few sparkles of his own comic relief and boy did they seep in seamlessly! The only biggest disappointing aspect of the film is the complete misplacement of Peniviti song which; one - wasn't picturised aptly and two - wasn't in sync with the emotion of that particular scene. To that matter, even Reddy Ikkada Soodu wasn't necessary, but hey... dance!? All said and done, the prime MVP of this film is its detailing of the nuances that one can observe in the Rayalaseema dialect. Rustic dialogues from Trivikram and professionally infused dialect by Penchal Das is a treat!

Direction: Be it in Mirchi or more so in Dhammu, you see the protagonist change their opinions about how killing and fighting will only fuel more killing and not peace, which actually they realise after only one key incident/episode that affects them the most; on the contrary, Guruji showcases how step by step this so call "enlightenment" dawns upon Raghava and how Aravinda plays a pivotal role in this revelation. All these scenes are delightful to watch and they both acted really well. The opening sequence was next level taking. The best part of the film is how Guruji brings Raghava's as well as his fellow villagers characters (few specific characters) to the point of catharsis to the very end is remarkable or shall I say Trivikram 'mark'able, since the masses are so fond of this "mark" of late. There is a camouflaged analogy hiding in plain sight here. In more than 2 instances, you see 2 important characters (not naming them to avoid spoilers) narrating stories and a similar situation arises in the climax and here Trivikram clearly hints at how one's life is in the way one writes it and also at the same time, the things they do also directly/indirectly impact many lives. Raghava's character here is like The Last Jedi of the factionists who does things out of the stereotype character, as far as the Hollywood references go. But one flaw with Raghava is that as the time progresses he transforms into a mirror image of Aravinda's ideology without having any trace intricacies of his own way of thinking or characteristics, leaving Raghava as a person unexplored.

Music: Yada Poinaado is the most impactful song in the whole film. As I've said earlier, Peniviti was the only let down with regards to filming and not as a standalone song. But the best part is the way in which Thaman gave various themes of BGM for different parts of the film. One of the finest outing for him.

Cinematography: Remarkable shots! Great and slick use of VFX and perfectly executed fight sequences. He is known for stylish taking and this is how he showcases a raw Rayalaseema fight.

Performances: Pooja Hegde was really good with her dialogue delivery and lively portrayal of Aravinda. Though Supriya Pathak has very less screen time, her screen presence is immense. Naveen Chandra blew me away with his performance, so good. Eeshwari has the smallest role of all but created as much impact as any other character in the film, what an actress! Jaggu bhai was all over the place, commendable commitment and conviction from a man of his age! Of course, NTR did give a great performance, what did you expect? Just kidding! There is this one sequence where he sits calmly on a chair and warns his opponents on phone who are somewhere far off. That. That is how dialogue diction will affect a scene. I bet all the so called Dubsmash kings/queens to beat that scene! That one scene is a testimony to why many people wanted guruji and NTR to team up.

Final Take: This is probably the most meaningful movie in NTRs career. It is like that type of movie which borne out of the idea where two factionists sit down and resolve issues instead of swinging swords down each other's throats. Guruji is back in form. A highly recommended film.

Rating: 8.5/10

This is Jr NTR's best work according to me, Trivikram at his best with story screenplay direction and extraordinary dialogues.

Yes extraordinary dialogues Ntr just steals the show, he is awesome Jagapati babu can be called as one of india's best villian now. He is a monster Naveen chandra was a surprise, honestly he has been very underutilized and underrated by tollywood.

The other actors pooja hegde, Supriya pathak,naga babu, sunil, rao Ramesh,eshwari rao all were utilized well and all of them including the others which arent mentioned performed very well.

S S Thaman deserves a special special mention. As I said in the caption 7 to 8 because of him

Thaman's best work. His re discovery "Zabardast " Bgm, all songs are awesome.

The singers of all the songs deserve equal credit. All the lyricists deserve an applause Shout-out to all the technicians from cameraman to editor.

A must watch movie.

Special Note to Jr. NTR unfathomable performance. I CANNOT IMAGINE ANYONE BUT NTR. I have become his fan after this. Also to Trivikram's amazing dialogues sequences that will be remembered forever. Also hats off to the way they showed the impact of women.

IN DEPTH ANALYSIS: The first 30 minutes: It starts with a crazy fight in where veera raghava's dad gets killed. With that rage he goes on a rampage killing everyone. Jr NTR performance is excellent here. His intensity and the wat trivikram executes this scene is just goosebumps. The way the intensity and emotion is carried in out of the world and is all due to NTR excellent performance and trivikram's unfathomable execution. It then shifts to the losses of the war and how veera raghava and his family react to it. There is a little too much sentiment here and might not be liked.

Rest of the first half: After a high dose of action, intensity, and emotion is there the first half takes a turn from there. The screenplay is actually a little uneven and flows weirdly. From that amount of a high it goes into more of a feel good film with comedy and romance. This might be liked by some but the story gets a little deviated. Trivikram then takes it right back into the same amount of intensity after "Mondi Kathhi" incident happens. The heroine plays a meaningful role and got her into the core of the film throughout. There is no over sentiment so it may be more appealing to audience.

Second half: This part is about how veera raghava solves the factionism revenges that happens in his village. There are 2 intense scenes where NTR scares bal reddy. These scenes are really really good and are one of the best scenes in the movie and it is all due credit to trivikram's dialogue and NTR's career best performance. This part has perfect balance between emotion, story and entertainment so it will appealing to everyone.

Overall the movie is a must watch for the action, emotion, and story but the movie might be too sentimental throughout some parts of the film.

First of all, hatsoff to junior ntr for a such mind blowing action and trivikram to pen a different take on faction and thaman bgm and songs are assets of the movie. First 45 mins are highlight of the movie and jagapathi babu showcased one of the villainous character

Everything is good about the movie execpt the story line which is nothing new. Nothing is so great except the Dialgoues. This already sounds like a trivikram formula though this time he concentrated to grip the audience to the story. His taking is improved a lot. The movie is raw and realistic but lacked the story point and at time you feel bored because of those trivikram falvour again in between. Jagapathi babu has done one of his finest performances and NTR is at his very best. Overall again a Decent Movie without following those telugu commercial formula 😁

Acting dance and relations in movie is fantastic the values for women is given importance by a man shown in this movie dioulges are beautiful

Barring the gruesome violence in the beginning of the movie rest of the scenes are good ..and towards the climax few scenes are awesome. This movie has some social message which is having some sense of social responsibility. Worthy watch. Don't miss it. #

The film Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava is an action drama thriller, directed by Trivikram Srinivas.

The film depicts the retribution exacted by two villages. The dispute between the two villages, which has been ongoing for decades, has escalated to the point where revenge and killings are being carried out. The protagonist's father occupies a leadership position within one of the villages. Upon his return from abroad following the completion of his studies, the protagonist was confronted with the brutal murder of his father at the hands of members of the opposing village. He sought retribution for the murder of his father. However, following the revelation of the historical context and the situation of women in the household, he renounced his desire for vengeance and relocated from his village to another town. From this point on, he sought to avenge the villages and foster peace between them. He also developed a romantic interest in a woman named Aravinda. After enduring numerous threats and killings, he ultimately achieved success in his mission.

The film suffers from a lack of narrative cohesion, which detracts from its overall coherence and makes it challenging to follow. Junior NTR and Pooja Hegde deliver commendable performances, although NTR's ability to convey emotional depth could have been more nuanced. The narrative's shortcomings are a significant drawback, as they detract from the film's overall impact and make it difficult to recommend. Other performances are also noteworthy, and the background music is particularly commendable.

NTR sir <3 Movie is best. Its not all about violance its about peace. But you need to watch to understand how the story unfolds. This is a gem in telugu industry

This was not expected of trivikram and ntr movie. The story is routine with an routine direction. Direction seemed pretty similar to Aghyathavaasi. Relieving parts were some dialouges and penimiti song. Jagapathi babu and Ntr we're good as always. Overall it's not an Trivikram mark movie and definitely not a movie which I was wanting to watch an NTR and Trivikram combo.

NTR did really well but Trivikram simply failed at every aspect. sooo sorry for Arvindha coz she is completely annoying.

NTR just nailed his character, and oh my god I never expected this kinda movie from Trivikram, he made a perfect comeback with his changed style of story and direction. And thaman's music was awesome especially the song 'Penimiti '. You will have an experience of incredible action and events in the backdrop of SEEMA. This movie will totally change the perception and view point of war. It will make you see the results after a war.. Irrespective of winning and losing. It will show the importance of the Women empowerment in a society. If u want to watch a raw action flick with social message this movie is perfect.

Not so great, not too dumb. Thanks to Jagapati Babu for accepting this role and his hardwork.

First 30 Minutes And The Last 30 Minutes are main aspects of the Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava Hats Off to Trivikram Hats to Jaggu Bhai S S Thaman Music 👌👌👌👌👌 👌

We have seen faction films earlier ...but this is a completely different film from those.. good family movie ..gave much importance to lady characters.. which you haven't seen them in previous faction films..Trivikram mark film with NTR power-packed punch made the film blockbuster.. NTR is unstoppable at this moment... 👌and tamans BGM is top notch .. must watch film ...👍

I would wonder how all the people who are in this movie got convinced to make such unrealistic and worst movie of all time and i would like to tell you the hero of the movie did his best and I can see his effort as well as the person who played the negative role did there best to keep it alive.

First of all I thought this time trivikram will deals with realistic approach But after watching the movie I was really not happy at all because of his 1st half due to his love track between the lead pair, comic timing is disastrous ,mainly the director is not at all focussing on songs and we can say it easily by seeing anaganaga video song,he used to prefer foreign locations due to making with star heroes,a top director must focus on all crafts I can easily say that ATHADU is the first and last greatest movie of his career in 24 crafts (including songs,character defining etc..) This is my wholehearted message to my guruji 3vikram Please please focus more on all aspects then U will have pan india director status

Faction based story shown in a new way.no matter the director NTR is always highlighted by his action performances. Best emotional scenes of trivikram up to date. Good Background score by taman.

Story is average.. or may be ok.. but writer killed with unnecessary bit and killed the whole movie.. Heroin suck to bottom of drainage .. She was never a best choice in telugu film industry.. but i guess.. she will one day hold her ME TOO MOVEMENT cos of Trivikram Srinivas..

Borring Movie I don't like story.. ...keeping our Andhra blockbuster hero Jn NTR Idint expect this type worst movie I expected that Like Atharintiki Daredhi story
