The recently released Telugu film Madharaasi, directed by A.R. Murugadoss and starring Sivakarthikeyan, has sparked strong reactions from audiences. In a candid review on In News Live, Mandava Sai Kumar shared a series of shocking comments about the movie’s execution, performances, and overall storytelling.
Sivakarthikeyan’s Performance
Mandava Sai Kumar noted that Sivakarthikeyan’s acting was “just okay,” lacking the depth and energy expected from a lead role in a mass action drama. While the actor carried some scenes, the performance did not elevate the weak script.
Music and Songs
One of the harshest criticisms came for the film’s music. The reviewer described the soundtrack as “awful” and the songs as “terrible,” with no real connection to the plot. Instead of enhancing the mood, the music felt like an interruption, weakening the cinematic flow.
Direction and Storytelling
According to Sai Kumar, A.R. Murugadoss’s direction leaned too heavily on “lecturing the audience” instead of engaging them with a gripping story. The gun smuggling plot was labeled “common and predictable,” and the movie was accused of being a rip-off of Pushpa and KGF.
Final Verdict
With blunt honesty, Mandava Sai Kumar concluded that Madharaasi has “no story” and is “not worth the ticket price.” He emphasized that despite the director’s reputation and the star cast, the film struggles to connect with viewers and falls short of expectations.
Conclusion
In News Live’s review highlights the growing frustration among audiences when big-budget films rely on formulaic plots rather than fresh ideas. Whether or not viewers agree with Sai Kumar’s harsh verdict, Madharaasi is sure to remain a hot topic of discussion in Tollywood circles.
