Gautamiputra Satakarni movie review:

Director Krish himself has written the script for this epic historical action film, which has been produced by Saibabu Jagarlamudi and Y Rajeev Reddy under the banner First Frame Entertainment. The film is based on the life of 2nd century AD Satavahana ruler Gautamiputra Satakarni.

Story/Plot:

The fans say that Gautamiputra Satakarni has an interesting story, which throws light on the life of an unsung hero. Gautamiputra Satakarni (Balakrishna) is one of the most powerful kings from the Satavahana dynasty in India. How he goes on to win the kings of his neighbouring kingdoms and the mighty Greeks forms the crux of the story.

Analysis:

Director Krish has created a brilliant screenplay, which is engaging right from the beginning till the end. The director has nicely blended all commercial ingredients like action, romance, drama and punch dialogues in to serious and real-life story. The film has very slow-paced narration, which tests the patience in parts, say the audience.

Performance:

Nandamuri Balakrishna has played the title role in Gautamiputra Satakarni and has delivered a sterling performance, which is the main highlight of the film. Shriya Saran, Hema Malini, Shiva Rajkumar and Kabir Bedi have also played important roles and their performances are also the assets of the movie, fans say.

Production:

Gautamiputra Satakarni has been made with a limited budget in a short span of time. But the director has managed to get rich production values. The brilliant choreography of war and action scenes, background score, picturisation and punch dialogues are the attractions on the technical front. Considering its production cost and time, its VFX works are good, but they are not up to the expected mark, fans say.

We bring you some filmgoers' verdict on the movie shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of Gautamiputra Satakarni movie review by audience:

Drvengrad Diaries ‏@DrvengradDiary

#GautamiPutraSatakarni is a winner all the way. Totally surprised by the execution, considering the short production span. Having the guts to play an age defying role is one thing but doing it convincingly against a strong rival is total thug life.MASS! #GPSK While one self concerned megastar does a safe remake as his comeback, Balayya must be appreciated for his brave choice.

Straight Talk ‏@Direct_Shooter

Balayya's thunderous interval bang dialog highlite..war execution episode could have been better..detcent 1st half #GautamiPutraSatakarni It's a Balayya, Krish and Sai Burra Madhav's unified effort..Personally liked it. Such movies should be appreciated. #GautamiPutraSatakarni

In ARM We Trust ‏@pr1294

Dialogues are the strong point. Elevation after elevation from dialogues. Aa elevations kosam aina easy ga choodachu #GautamiPutraSatakarni Krish movies content strong kaani direction wise eppudu below avg. Same here, but he also had budget constraints. #GautamiPutraSatakarni The negatives: Ball's facial expressions during battle scenes and weight #GautamiPutraSatakarni
