The Manmadhudu of tollywood and a great star Akkineni Nagarjuna now became a tollywood king with this movie KING.Like Mass,Don,Super and Boss it will also replace the name Nagarjuna by King after the release of this movie.

Director Srinu Vytla gave three successive hits and as such the expectations on the new film King soared a lot. The film King has an impressive star cast and this gave a further boost to the expectations of everyone. But has the director managed to live up to the expectations? Let’s take a look

Performance: Nagarjuna gets a chance to play a character that requires him to play three distinctly different personalities – King, Bottu Seenu and Sharat a software engineer. Nagarjuna does full justice to all the three characters. 

Trisha plays the role of the younger sister of Sri Hari. She looks as ravishing as ever and she gives a good performance. Sri Hari gets to play a role similar to one he played in Dhee. Sri Hari’s act of trying to become a famous painter like MF Hussain brings in some laughs. Brahmanadam plays the role of a music director who is famous for lifting the tunes of others. He manages to raise some laughs. Mamatha Mohandas’ role is brief but crucial and she does full justice to the role that has negative shades.

The rest of the star cast – Geetha, Jayaprakash Reddy, Sayaji Shinde, Krishna Bhagawan, Mamatha Mohandas, Sudha and others are okay in their roels.

The group song of Nagarjuna with Trisha, Mamatha Mohandas, Charmy, Anushka, Sneha Ullal, Genelia, Priyamani and Kamna Jethmalani is good and the audience enjoy it immensely.

The film is very lengthy, almost three hours. The director has tried to inject too many sub plots and this leads to some confusion. The comedy is also just average. A couple of songs have been set to foot tapping music and the title song ‘K I N G King Vasthunndu King’ is good.

The first half of the film takes off to an excellent start and there is not a single moment of idle time. The second half is more on the serious note but then it has got its lighter moments, it got dragged a bit too far,that could have been avoided.
