Mahesh Babu and Kriti Sanon New Telugu Film 1 Nenokkadine Movie Review:
Superstar Mahesh Babu's 1: Nenokkadine, which has been directed by Sukumar, is one of the most-talked about and highly-anticipated Telugu movies. The promos of the film have created lot of curiosity among the viewers. Having released in theatres today, the movie is much more than what has been expected from it. Made on par with Hollywood standards, this film is sure to become a landmark film in Prince's career.

Story:
Gautham (Mahesh Babu) is a rock star. Past demons haunt him. He believes he has a past in which three people killed his parents. The world around him thinks that he is an orphan. A journalist Sameera (Kriti Sannon) captures an episode in his life and tries to unravel the mystery behind his past. Soon they become lovers. Together they are on the mission to find the answers to the mystery behind his past that leads to them Goa, London and Ireland.

Artists Performance:
My respect for Mahesh Babu has increased multifold after watching this movie. His decision to accept a thriller, that's too with psychological issues is a daring one. This film and his character in this movie will remain as one of his best accomplishments in his career. There is lot of underplaying in his characterization and it’s multi-layered. He is simply superb. On the commercial front, his work in interval episode and the shadow step he has done in ‘You Are My Love’ are of top-notch. The final conversation with the main villain and his dialogue to the kid at graveyard is excellent.

1 Nenokkadine reviewOthers: Mahesh Babu’s son Gowtam made his debut as childhood Mahesh. He is another superstar in making. Ease in acting and lovable looks! Kriti Sanon is pretty good and suited the height of Mahesh Babu. Kelly Dorji, Pradeep Rawat and Nassar played important roles. Posani Krishna Murali’s role is the only character in this film where the director tried providing regular entertainment. Naveen Polisetty did a vital role. Sophie Choudry has done the item song in this movie..

Technical and Other Departments:
The production values of 1: Nenokkadine are on par with Hollywood standards and Ratnavelu's cinematography is the main attraction in the technical front. Devi Sri Prasad's music and background score are also among the big strengths of the film. Though all his songs are good to listen, a couple of them have been misplaced. International stunt coordinator Conrad Palmisano's stunts and chase scenes are also one of the main highlights of the film. Other technical departments have also done commendable job. Karthika Srinivas' editing is also good, but he could have trimmed a few scenes in the second half.

Movie Analysis:
First things first. 1 Nenokkadine is not an universal film like Dookudu. It belongs to psychological thriller genre. Thriller and psychological are two rare genres that are least attempted in Telugu film industry. It’s also a multi-layered movie. Plus points of film are Mahesh Babu, screenplay, cinematography, production values and technical values. On the flip side, the sluggish narration and excessive runtime hampers the tempo. When three big names - Mahesh Babu, Sukumar and 14 Reels are involved in making such a high-budgeted film, there are bound to be a lot of expectations. 1 Nenokkadine is not a commercial potboiler. Film lovers who have exposure to Hollywood films and world cinema will appreciate this movie. 1 Nenokkadine is a film that makes Mahesh, Sukumar, producers and entire unit proud. We need to wait and see how a common movie lover who is used to formulaic films lap it up.

Final View:
In 1 Nenokkadine, individual sequences seep coolness but the same cannot be said if we see it in totality. Apart from Mahesh Babu’s stunning performance, the drive of the film is completely off the track. It tests the viewer's patience as it drags on.
