People know little about habitual offender Tiger Nageswara Rao through newspaper articles, references in journals, and later interviews featuring his family and known friends.

With the routine style of narrative and bland screenplay, Tiger Nageswara Rao is marred by confused scriptwriting.

Movies

Director Vamsee topples at trying too much rather than telling an honest story. The hero elevation sequences, fight sequences, and bland unromantic love episodes sink the film.

Movies

There was no attempt made to showcase what Stuartpuram was. Nothing was shown about the community nor why the correctional facility was established to reform the criminals.

Movies

Ravi Teja doesn’t fit to make a character like this sort because his bodily attire doesn’t convince the audience of the thief role.

Movies

Nageswara Rao was shown as a true athlete, known for his daredevilry acts. Ravi Teja’s body language as the thief doesn’t fit into the shoes.

Movies

Nupur Sanon and Gayatri Bharadwaj are impressive. Jisshu Sengupta as Inspector Mouli is good. Anupam Kher and Murali Sharma chip in well.

Movies

Except for the train burglary episode, which contains impressive visual effects, Tiger Nageswara Rao looks like a skewed and imaginary tale of director Vamsee.
