VividSimon Simply Perfect

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Samrudh David What a film this is. This is one of the greatest ever Indian films, if not " The greatest Indian film " without any doubt.K.V.Reddy Garu did an outstanding job as a director. Screenplay is extraordinary. The way the story is executed is excellent.The cinematography is simply outstanding.NTR Garu, ANR Garu, Savitri Garu are simply superb in the lead roles. S.V.Ranga Rao Garu's performance is outstanding. All the remaining actors & actresses are superb too.The special effects in the film are excellent and are really surprising as this one is produced way back in the 1950s.Finally, this film is just " OUTSTANDING " & everyone should watch this for sure.

sinful-2 First I will start saying I watched the shorter color only around 162 min. I would have liked to see the full version but this was the one I could get my hands on.Honestly I was very doubtful I would enjoy this movie before watching it. But I had some hopes since I always like good adventure and mythology movies.I was a bit confused in the start about some of the characters as I am not knowing much about the Hindi religion and do not have one drop of Indian blood in me. But I thought the story was inviting and moving ahead at a good pace and you got interested in getting deeper into it and find out what would happen. After a while you find out the main problem in the movie. At that time you are not one second in doubt how it will end for the two young lovers, but you cannot foresee the exiting journey to the end.I would call this movie a romantic adventure comedy. The romance is the main thing in the movie. But when you see that there are gods involved you already know it will not be without magic.The music in the movie is fine. I am honestly not a lover of this type of singing/dancing but the acting was good and it was used to progress the story and there was not too much of it in my opinion. If you do hate the singing/dancing then you can use those moments to get some fresh coffee :-)The acting in the movie was great by those that meant most to the story line and I had a good time with the movie and some laughs. Some day if I see the full length movie I will most likely give it a try.I would recommend this movie to people that love a good adventure with some magic included. I was fascinated by this movie and it really should be much better known by people outside India.

Arif Moghal Perhaps the complete cinema in its era, Mayabazar with its stellar cast continues to amaze the Telugu audience till date... If the Telugu film industry can be divided into two eras then, it would be Pre and Post Mayabazar... That's how big the movie is... It was, it is and it will remain the CLASSIC for eternity... It has big heavy weights of Telugu Film Industry donning in various roles... ANR as Abhimanyu; SVR as Ghatothkacha and above all NTR donning the role of Lord Krishna.... Particularly NTR's subtle dialogue delivery and magnificent stature lights up the frame when he is there... The ever gorgeous Savithri is at her best... Adorable beauty she remains... To sum it all, the events in the Movie do not truly depict of what happened in Mahabharata (The Epic of Hindu Mythology)... The likes of K.V. Reddy came out with a brilliant idea of weaving a small skit in the form of MAYABAZAR... The stand out point in the movie is "Marcus Bartley's" stunning light effects for the song "Lahiri Lahiri Lo..." The frame has been caught to perfection in every minute detail.. Hats off to that... The movie was digitally remastered in color in the year 2008. They had to do away with some editing as the original movie tape was badly damaged in the testimony of time.. The newer version is Nevertheless, it lived up to its expectations... The movie came out exceptionally well and K.V.Reddy would have been proud of that.. If Moghal-E-Azam is to Hindi Film Industry then, the south India claims to have Mayabazar ... If a person were to draw comparison, then that would be it.. Both were magnum opus in their own way... Go ahead and watch it in color and be enthralled !!! I will give it 10 out of 10... I consider myself blessed to have been born in the MAYABAZAR era....

Marissa Prasad This movie I have been watching since I was a little girl. Even though I speak very little Telegu, I find that I need not know how to speak the language to understand what is going on. My father and I still make jokes about little lines that I remember. I dare not type them, for I do not know how to spell them, only how they sound. This movie is truly amazing, and an instant classic! I love how the giant changes into so many different things, and the bow and arrows used. The stunts are perfect. I am in the middle of ordering a DVD copy, so I may watch it all the time. I fell in love with music after listening to the soundtrack, hearing songs that me and my father still sing, once again, not daring to write to words, because I don't know how to spell them.
