Disappointment for a huge fan!

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Don't hold back but express. This is what this movie is all about. This movie is not about the script, It's about the character which Vijay Devarakonda has played. He did justice to the character. I would watch it 10 times and still crave for more.

By now, around 100% of you might have watched the latest telugu movie called Arjun Reddy. 70-80% have liked it and around 20-30% have been nagging, mocking and loathing it in various platforms either because of religious bigotry or cultural divide or their teeny tiny brain can't comprehend on how to watch a movie or total lack of movie sense or sheer stupidity or some other BS. Whatever may be the reason, I'm not going to butter up here and profess that yeah, people have different tastes kind of mundane stuff. Arjun Reddy is raw, bold and intense story telling criterion. It mocks the age old commercial format in telugu cinema and razors every conventional way of story telling in TFI.Here are some specific scenes and details which I adored in Arjun Reddy. These are a true testament to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's capability as a narrator. And btw, who's Vijay Devarakonda? I only saw Arjun Reddy setting screen on fire :). Absolute brilliance.Scene 1 - Holi Fight: One of the best confrontation scenes between two characters. Pure adrenaline rush. Arjun creates the required impact thru his angry tears after that 'angerorgasm'. Shalini expressing her love, Amit's promise after flashing his ego and Arjun's victory all have been etched exquisitely into one episode.Scene 2 - Interval bang: It was a WTF moment in a spellbinding way. The way the scene shifts from 'the spread on the bed' to the glaring title with blood dispersed in background is too good for a telugu movie. Such nuances make movie watching enthralling.Scene 3 - Shalini's minor injury: Arjun gets injured by a piece of glass on the floor. He tries to pluck it out and the scene cuts to Arjun's friend removing a piece of glass from Shalini's leg in the flashback. Again, this is one more deftly crafted episode. Amazing screenplay overall.Scene 4 - Football fight: Amit abuses and hits Arjun. And how does Arjun respond? He first smashes the referee who had fixed the match, then goes on with Amit. Not instantaneous. Well thought and controlled outburst like a fusion in a nuclear reactor.Scene 5 - Shalini trying to calm down Arjun (6 hrs deadline): After the big fight with Shalini's dad, Arjun's arrogance and attitude comes out in brute force. His BP could have broken the sphygmomanometer. Shalini's tries her best to calm him down, soothe Arjun in every possible way. Does Arjun come back to his senses? Hell, No. This is Arjun Reddy. His characterization is linear throughout (always in the peaks). He still reminds Shalini of the deadline and storms away.Scene 6 - Arjun snorting coke before trial: This is a direct lift from Denzel Washington's Flight. But what stands out is the BGM composed for this episode by Radhan. As Arjun snorts and gets high on coke, audience do get the same high curtsy BGM.So, what are you still waiting for? If you are true movie lover (keeping aside all your religious and cultural limitations) go watch it again and again and get absorbed into the riveting world of Arjun Reddy. Welcome to new age Telugu cinema !!!

Sitting in my room, my mind is still probing the edges of this one of a kind, beautifully executed, epic journey of a deeply flawed character that the director wanted to take us on. He has one message - love in any form is pure and free from any constraints that our culture might seemingly shackle us in. In the first act, I hated this character that was supposedly the movie's protagonist. In fact, you will like any other character over him apart from the girl's father, and that sure is a warning sign for any story. I thought I would end up disliking the movie, which almost everyone has praised. But as the film progressed, I found myself getting hooked. This director, almost implausibly, made it work, and I couldn't praise him more for handling such a tricky, controversial plot so seamlessly. With every scene, the director drags you into the messy life of Arjun Reddy. You will disagree with most of his actions, yet you find yourself relating to him. The director makes it work by focusing on the things which we all share, his emotions, his love for Prithi, and his passion for his field, the sincerity and candor in his dialogues. Every scene was shot beautifully, was interesting, and was important to the film, which is impressive considering the film was 3 hours long. It is also very easy to fall into the trap of using commonplace, hackneyed characters as your supporting cast with such a complex main character. You won't find any of that here. Each character is unique, and feels like a gust of fresh air in today's movie industry. More importantly, they all seem real. Not once, do you find any of the characters acting out of the personality and role the director has fleshed them in.Kudos to the whole team of Arjun Reddy. You have sculptured a wonderful picture! You are the guys who are keeping cinema alive.
