Performances:
The roles like this are a cakewalk for Vishal and his complete involvement is clearly visible in the every frame. Vishal has done a brilliant job in this movie and his performance is a big asset.
He has once again proved that he is very comfortable in action stunts.
Coming to the leading lady Sri Divya, she impresses with her natural looks. She has delivered a very good performance in all the crucial scenes. The chemistry between Vishal and Sri Divya is a treat for the mass audience. Kokkoroko Suri's comedy brings much laughs. RK Suresh makes a good impressions as the villain. Others have excelled in their roles.
Technical:
Imman's songs are good and but full marks should be given for background score. Cinematography is rich and he captures locations of villages beautifully. Pace of the movie is slow in the second half.
Had the editor chopped off some scenes in the second half and emotional scenes in particular, it would have made the film more gripping.
Plus Points:
Vishal
Sri Divya
Action scenes
Climax fight
Minus Points:
Routine story
Slow pace
Editing
Overdose melodrama
Analysis:
Vishal Reddy has once again manages to come up with a complete mass entertainer. The story of Rayudu may be routine but it will definitely hold the attention of the mass audience.
The emotional scenes between Rayudu and his grandmother are ok but they are stretched beyond a point. The director could not able to give punch to the twists as they become highly predictable. The screenplay was having many hiccups. The movie has some high octane action scenes and they go well with the mass audience. Climax scene was executed very well.
Class audience may feel it boring. For those who are looking for a complete mass film, Rayudu is the perfect movie.
Overall, the story is simple but the presentation which was packed with the right ingredients for a mass entertainer.
