Sarileru Neekevvaru (SLN) movie review and rating by audience: Live updates on Mahesh Babu film

Director Anil Ravipudi's Telugu movie Sarileru Neekevvaru starring Mahesh Babu, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijayashanti, has received positive review and rating from the audience.

Sarileru Neekevvaru is an action film, which has been written and directed by Anil Ravipudi. Anil Sunkara, Dil Raju and Mahesh Babu have produced it under their banners AK Entertainments, Sri Venkateswara Creations and G. Mahesh Babu Entertainment Pvt Ltd. The movie has received a U/A certificate from the censor board.

Sarileru Neekevvaru story: Bharati (Vijayashanthi) is a professor and patriot, who always believes in doing the right thing. Two of her sons are in the army. One is dead and the other is injured. Ajay (Mahesh Babu) goes to meet her to convey news. But Bharati is missing along with her family.  What happens next form the crux of the story.

Analysis: Sarileru Neekevvaru does not boast of a fresh and a great story. The first half of the film is good with a complete package of entertainment. But Director Anil Ravipudi falters in the second half, which is not up to the expected mark. The climax is weak, say the audience.

Performances: Mahesh Babu has delivered a brilliant performance, which is the highlight of Sarileru Neekevvaru. Rashmika Mandanna and Vijayashanti have done a good job and their scenes with Prince are among the attractions. Krishna, Prakash Raj, Rajendra Prasad, Rao Ramesh, Posani Krishna Murali, Vennela Kishore, Satya Dev, Ajay and Subbaraju are among the assets of the film, say the audience.

Technical: Sarileru Neekevvaru has decent production values. DSP's songs and background score, picturisation, action, dialogues and beautiful locales are the attractions on the technical front, add the viewers.

Enjoyed #SarileruNeekevvaru. @AnilRavipudi is fastly filling the void left behind by Srinu Vaitla and his kind of films with masala entertainers that have all the adequate elements to work. In a refreshing departure, @urstrulyMahesh is a joy watch in a role that screams fun. #SarileruNeekevvaru lets @urstrulyMahesh take a step back and have fun. It reminds him it's alright to drape a lungi and dance to Mindblock without any inhibitions, and boy he nails it. Loved how his machismo is used to elevate the character played by #Vijayashanti. #SarileruNeekevvaru - This festival season couldn't have asked for a better start. A commercial entertainer that knows its strengths and uses them effectively to work in a big way. @AnilRavipudi is slowly establishing himself as a master of this genre. Interval action block in #SarileruNeekevvaru is one of the best paisa vasool moments of the film. A scene that gets etched strongly in our minds even after you leave the hall. Shout-out to @iamRashmika for all the energy she breathes into her character which she aces effortlessly

#SarileruNeekevvaru 1st half - Pakka trademark commercial mass entertainer with all the masala elements packaged by @AnilRavipudi.@urstrulyMahesh looks extra-slim & dashing as the army man. Babu Batting peaks in the terrific pre-interval action bang. Interval block Adirindhi #SarileruNeekevvaru 1st half - The long train segment is unabashedly funny; full dramedy. Punchlines like "Meeku ardhamaithundha" & "Abbabbabbabba, ilaanti... never before, ever after" are undeniably entertaining. @iamRashmika semma cute & dramatic, with flowing dance moves #SarileruNeekevvaru - #MindBlock song visuals @urstrulyMahesh's lungi dance & @iamRashmika's glam dance will rock the masses. Single screens will explode for this sequence.. #SSMB has so much fun dancing in local kuthu style. Adhiri poyindhi.. #SarileruNeekevvaru - 3.25/5.

#SarileruNeekevvaru Interval: Proper family drama so far. @AnilRavipudi divides the first half into 3 parts - the neat opening army sequences, the HILARIOUS & lengthy train comics and finally the massy action interval block. #SSMB in fine form, his comic timing is superb! #SarileruNeekevvaru: Full-blown mass masala entertainer that will overjoy the fans and the family audiences. Comedy, action, family sentiments, song and dance - @AnilRavipudi ticks all the boxes and makes it a complete package, with @urstrulyMahesh 's jolly good histrionics! #SarileruNeekevvaru: @iamRashmika entertains big time with her dramatic and filmy reactions that remind us of Genelia. What a surprise to see her dancing so well in #MindBlock alongside #SSMB - definitely one of the big theatre moments in the film, enjoyed it!

#SarileruNeekevvaru - Mahaeshbabu rocks throughout. Rashmika's cute act with Ramesh Ram & Sangeetha in d train is hilarious. Gud comebck for Vijayshanthi. Daang & MindBlock songs dance choreo is ultimate. Regular commercial screenplay falls flat, doesnt offer any excitement. Avg!

SAI SAMPATH @IamSAM_97

Was trivial before but ended up having a great time. Such a beautiful message providing insights of life of army personnel and how the leaders can inspire from them while serving the nation. Kudos to the whole team #SarileruNeekevvaru As usual @urstrulyMahesh u nailed it Rashmika ma'am your performance was great in #SarileruNeekevvaru Rocked the #MindBlock song with @urstrulyMahesh @iamrashmika Meeku Ardhamavuthundhaa........... ❤️ ❤️

First half done..did enjoy it..finally MB unleashing himself after ages is a welcome change..a bit inappropriate comedy in the train but otherwise funny in parts..only negative is DSP ka generic "we will rock u" BGM, Shld retire gracefully ..Mundaka nice ...#SarileruNeekEvvaru Since commercial mass flicks r mostly mindless, this is the way they r supposed to be..entertaining. Thankfully no dull moment. Am I dreaming? What's with the ease in mind block really!?highlight...VS, Prakash Raj bhi good. First Ravipudi film that I liked I guess. MB rocked.

Ramesh Bala @rameshlaus

#SarileruNeekkevvaru 1st Half : #SuperStar @urstrulyMahesh is in fine form.. Whether Mass Military sequence or long train comedy sequence or the terrific interval action sequence.. He is Mass Mersal!
