Find out why Veera Simha Reddy, a popular leader from the Rayalaseema region, is hated by Pratap Reddy and Bhanumati, and how Jay is related to him form the film’s plot.

Though the story has the trappings of a formulaic film, Gopichand Malineni overcomes the shortcomings with an interesting screenplay.

Barring a few scenes in the first half, most of the movie is gripping. Further, the story has many sub-plots and action episodes.

Veera Simha Reddy is an out-and-out Balakrishna film. He plays dual roles and worked hard for both action sequences and dance numbers.

Entertainment

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar plays a very crucial role. She excels in it. Kannada hero Duniya Vijay debuts in Telugu as a villain and is impressive.

Entertainment

Honey Rose also gets to play an important character and she does it with grace. However, there is not much for Shruthi Haasan to do in the story.

Entertainment

This mass masala entertainer also features Lal, Eshwari Rao, and Naveen Chandra in supporting roles. They all do their bit perfectly.

Entertainment

Music director Thaman has come up with engrossing background. His music plays a key role in adding emotion and pace to the movie.

Entertainment

Cinematographer Rishi Punjabi shot both action episodes and song sequences with equal poise.

Entertainment

However, editor Navin Nooli should have made some changes. A runtime of 172 minutes, surely, is a demanding job for the audience.
