Director Puri Jagannadh's Telugu movie Mehbooba (Mehabooba) featuring Akash Puri and Neha Shetty in the lead roles, has received mixed review and good ratings from the audiences.
Mehbooba is a romantic action drama that is set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Puri Jagannadh has written the script for the movie with Thatavarthi Kiran and A Sreedhar and co-produced with Charmy Kaur. The movie has been awarded with a U/A by the censor board and its runtime is 2.32 hours.
Mehbooba movie story: The movie is a love story of an Indian soldier (Akash Puri), whose girlfriend (Neha Shetty) is abducted by Pakistani soldiers. How he enters Pakistani territory and brings her back forms the remaining story.
Performances: As a soldier, Akash Puri has delivered brilliant performance, which is the highlight of Mehbooba. He impresses you in action and sentimental scenes. Neha Shetty has done good job and her chemistry with Akash is good. Murli Sharma, Amit Anand Raut, Vishu Reddy and others have done justice to their roles and they are also among the assets of the film, say the audience.
Technical: Mehbooba has rich production elements. Vishnu Sharma's picturization, Sandeep Chowta's songs and background score, Real Satheesh's action choreography, Shaik Jonny's art direction and Junaid Siddiqui's editing are the attractions on the technical front, say the viewers.

Average 1st half. @ActorAkashPuri looks promising #Mehbooba. #Mehbooba has succeeded in launching @ActorAkashPuri as an actor..He's impressive & looks promising ( though he looks too young to play lead roles ). But As a film, it didn't really work to the desired extent due to lacklustre writing & poor dialogues. Not bad though. Flashback portions & Action sequences are good #Mehbooba

#Mehbooba View Point: @ActorAkashPuri makes a confident big screen debut as a hero. Expect a good actor from this boy in the near future! His voice is . On the other hand, the film has no magic of @purijagan.

AVAD @avadsays
..@ActorAkashPuri make a decent debut and shows good prospect in #Mehbooba but the unappealing love story and overdone patriotic scenes lets down the film. @Neha__Shetty is a good find and so is villain #VIshnureddy

Thyview @Thyview
Very good interval block. #Mehbooba,1st half is decent, with some very good interesting moments , the scene where hero & heroine first see each other is too good Max feel . #SandeepChowta songs and BGM are excellent. Oka Vidham ga cheppali ante , story just began + points : - Akash Puri & Neha - interval block - pre climax confrontation (Salian khan zindabad , sharukh.....Meri mehbooba zindabad ) scene - visuals - Sandeep Chowta Songs & BGM
Varun Kilaru @varunkilaru
#Mehbooba-Has a good basic storyline and good visuals for the major part of the film but is completely undone by a dull screenplay, amateur loud side actors, uneven BGM and surprisingly mediocre direction! Will be the first casualty of #mahanati and yet another flop for puri!
The Vincible @TheVincible
#Mehbooba : Puri continues his terrible run and he has nothing new to offer in the first hour. Serial mode, dialogues/story lack punch and so far pointless #Mehbooba : Illogical and Senseless. At a time when Telugu Cinema is venturing and exploring new subjects and coming of age, we have the experienced Puris, Trivikrams churning out mindless stories. Enough of this-walking out

#Mehbooba Review - While Akash has shown some spark, Puri Jagan fails as a director. Time he reinvents himself. Akash's decent performance is the only consolation. We're going with 2.5/5
