Director Koratala Siva's much-talked-about Telugu movie "Srimanthudu" starring superstar Mahesh Babu and Shruti Hassan in the leads, has got positive reviews from audience around the world.

Read: Srimanthudu Tamil Audience Review

Written by Koratala Siva, "Srimanthudu" is about a millionaire, who carves a niche for himself, instead of following his father's footstep. The movie offers a message - giving back to the society. The director has nicely blended an interesting concept with commercial elements like romance, action, comedy, sentiments and others.

The audiences, who watched the "Srimanthudu", say that the first half is engaging with few romantic scene, songs and some good visuals. A sentimental twist at Interval sets a moment for the main story, which is well narrated in the second half in which fights, songs, love and sentimental scenes entertain the viewers.

Mahesh Babu's performance is the main highlight of "Srimanthudu". Koratala Siva's engaging screenplay and punch dialogues, Devi Sri Prasad's soundtracks and background score, R Madhi's cinematography, amazing choreography of action and dance scenes and beautiful art direction are other attractions of the film. The predictable plot and slow-paced narration are two big drawbacks of the movie, add the viewers.

We bring you the viewers' verdict on the movie shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of "Srimanthudu" movie review by audience.

#Srimanthudu interval now. Perfect blend. Superb first half. Very interesting narration. Mahesh rocks! Mahesh interval fight t shirt in srimanthudu. Same design with different color. I wore same shirt for premiere too Mahesh babu t shirts are bought in jack and Jones. I also own another t short wore by mahesh that has Red Wood on it. #Srimanthudu - content meets commerce. A good film and a blockbuster! Mahesh Babu strikes again, this time with a purpose! Mahesh Babu has given an outstanding performance in preclimax. Koratala siva has stuck with the content without deviation.

#Srimanthudu! Perfect blend of class and mass elements! @urstrulyMahesh- proves once again, he is the BEST actor in Telugu film industry! #Srimanthudu! THANK YOU @sivakoratala! Very engaging, sensible& and refreshing narration! You showed us what a well read director can do!

Man of Justice ‏@SuperGops

Done with #Srimanthudu Neither great nor bad. Will do decent business but leaves you short of expectations 3.25/5 Full details after lunch What works is a fresh storyline. What doesn't work are disconnected narration(1st half), sloppy finish and editing(too long) #Srimanthudu There is excessive emotion at times too. But all flaws aside #Srimanthudu can be a alright one time watch for family audience largely. It's pretty evident that now family audience are the unanimous target for filmmakers. Safe investment #Srimanthudu
