Stalin

Movie wise: [0.5/5]
Commercially : [3/5] (why would you need this at all? but still..)
Songs : [0.25/5]
Why watch? - worth viewing for sadistic pleasure.

Story:
The story is a one liner. The protagonist asks people to help 3 other people and it goes on.
Not worth dragging for 3 hours.

Artists Performance:
Chiranjeevi - It is time he takes a gap of 20 years from movies. He is overly horizontally disproportionate, too old for the role (maybe he should have been the brother/father of the hero). He is slowly picking threads of rajnikanth in dances. Soon he will take on Krishna.

Others - Not worth talking about. But i want to point that Prakash Raj,as usual, did a good job. He is a potential candidate for my movie. Note the use of 'potential'.

Songs - suck bigtime. Not even worth a CD release. Mani sharma tries to do original music here.

Screenplay - The screenwriter lost it right after the begining titles.

Direction [,etc] - He should retire from movies. He will be fit for TV serials with a little effort.

Positives: The photography, particularly in 2 scenes, was impressive. The war was shown very poorly, but photography is good. The second one is a night shot car chase sequence.

Negatives: Everything else.
