Director Bobby aka KS Ravindra's Telugu movie Jai Lava Kusa (Kusha/JLK) starring Jr NTR, Nivetha Thomas and Raashi Khanna has received positive reviews and good ratings from viewers.
Jai Lava Kusa is an action drama with all the other commercial ingredients to woo the mass audience. Director KS Ravindra has written the script for the film along with Kona Venkat and K Chakravarthy.
The story of Jai Lava Kusa is about triplets (Jr NTR), who are separated during their childhood. As they grow up, Jai, Lava and Kusa become criminal, bank manager and small-time crook, respectively. The twist in the tale arises when Jai kidnaps both the brothers. What happens next forms the crux of the story.
The audiences say Jai Lava Kusa is a routine revenge drama, but it has an entertaining screenplay. The first half is good, but the second half is not so entertaining. However, the film is a grand treat for Jr NTR fans.
Junior NTR, who has plays three roles in the film, has delivered fantastic performances, and Jai Lava Kusa is his show all the way. His mannerisms, action and dialogue diction are a feast for movie-goers.
Nivetha Thomas and Raashi Khanna have nothing to do in the film, though their glamour and chemistry with hero are good. Ronit Roy, Nanditha Raj, Hamsa Nandini and others have done justice to their roles, say viewers.

#JaiLavaKusa - very entertaining 1st half but the post intermission it ends up mediocre. Overall an AVG fare 2.75/5 @tarak9999 gave his best. #JLK - This is a definitely a decent comeback for @dirbobby & the comic relief provided through kusha role needs a special mention #JaiLavaKusa - I would have preferred Jai's character without the shutter as it became unintentionally funny after a certain point Easily 1 time watchable for a common movie goer .my friend was a pk fan said it was abv AVG & the climax could have been planned better

A good first half, starts slow picks up pace and ends with a bang....ika pai raavanam... #JaiLavaKusa #ntr #raashikhanna #Nivethathomas Though it's predictable it's good to see a star like donning a generic character with no elevation.just regular guy #lava #JaiLavaKusa #ntr #kusa is typical comic role but used well to take the story fwd for the preinterval block which sets up for the jai's entrance #jailavakusa With #DSP's elevation jai enters...interval...A lot depends on second half to reach the blockbuster range..#jailavakusa Second half starts with rise of jai and regular scenes takes place between the leads.the film gains pace in the preclimax #jailavakusa #ntr The last 15 minutes are the heart of the film...where ntr excels in the much talked drama sequence.NTR is a great actor Period. #jailavakusa Jai is raavan.A true villain and the makers sticked to it without showing ny remorse in jai's actions.ruthless with no feelings #jailavakusa

Half way through #JaiLavaKusa. @tarak9999 steals the show as #Jai. Movie swiftly shifts gears during the massy pre-interval sequence #JaiLavaKusa: A complete package for @tarak9999's fans. And an ideal festival outing for audiences. One-man show all the way from #NTR #JaiLavaKusa: @tarak9999 owns the screen as the emotionally challenged & evil #Jai. Sets the screen onin every single frame. Intense NTR #JaiLavaKusa: While Kusa brings the roof down w his antics, Lava carries the emotional quotient. #NTR quietly scores as a performer again

#JaiLavaKusa 1st half - Versatile @tarak9999's one man show. The entry of the evil 'Raavan Maharaj' #Jai makes it exciting, pre-interval. #JaiLavaKusa 2nd half - Plenty of paisavasool moments and sentiment bet. the brothers. @tarak9999 is supreme as the stammering #Jai.. #NTR. Sentiment for Lava, Histrionics for Kusa & sheer swag for #Jai -it's all about @tarak9999. Watch it for him. Treat for his fans. #JaiLavaKusa 2nd half - Also has the raunchy dance number #SwingZara with @tamannaahspeaks at her most glam. Old template story about triplets & typical treatment. 2nd half has some interesting moments. @tarak9999 holds the show fullon! #JaiLavaKusa - Since it's abt identical triplets, tried & tested ideas like mistaken identity & taking on another person's identity are used. #JaiLavaKusa - @RaashiKhanna @i_nivethathomas are the breezy part of this #NTR-heavy film. They get some love scenes & songs with the star.

Halfway through #JaiLavaKusa. Jai makes a terrific entry and steals the show hands down. Mass peaks. Solid interval block. #JaiLavaKusa 3.25/5. #Tarak's show all the way. Works largely because of the emotional angle it brings to the story of triplet brothers. #JaiLavaKusa 3.25/5. #Tarak as Jai walks away with a towering performance. Credit to @dirbobby for showcasing him in a different light.
