Performances:

Junior NTR is the showman in Baadshah and he has given brilliant performance. His aggressive, stylish acting, comedy timing, effortless dialogue delivery, dance moves and stunning action are sure to rock you. His comic timing is awesome and Baadshah would be a feast to his fans as he steps into Justice Chowdary role and he also shakes leg for medley of Sr.NTR’s songs.

Kajal Aggarwal has less scope for her role, but she impresses you with her Banthi philosophy and funny one liners. She looks quite glamorous in the movie. Kajal Aggarwal, who has earlier worked with NTR in Brindavanam, once again makes sure that her chemistry with NTR rocks.Kajal is as usual an eye-candy. She;s got a good role and has done justice to her performance. Also she looks stunning in the songs.

As Inspector Padmanabha Simha, Brahmanandam is hilarious and a big asset for the film. His scenes with NTR and Nasser are rib-tickling. MS Narayana has a tailor made role and as Revenge Nageswara Rao, he also makes you laugh. His comedy with NTR, Vennela Kishore and Kajal will help the director maintain the interest of the audience in the first half of the movie.Brahmanandam (Jayasimha) and MS

Narayana (Revenge Nageswara Rao) once again hogged the limelight with their stellar performances.

Nazar played a strict police officer role on similar lines to Dookudu. Mukesh Rushi, Suhasini  played the father and mother roles of the hero. Chandra Mohan, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Shayaji Shinde, Tanikella Bharani, Sudha, Surekha Vani etc justified their roles.

The director has used Superstar Mahesh Babu's voice in few places in the first half and it is effective. Siddharth has a small, but crucial role and he has done justice for it. Others like Mukesh Rushi, Kelly Dorji, Suhasini, Navdeep, Pragathi,  Brahmaji,  Master Bharath, Chandra Mohan and Thagubothu Ramesh have delivered neat performance in the movie Baadshah.

Technical Departments:

Srinu Vytla , Gopi Mohan and Kona Venkat have penned some of the best punch dialogues and funny onelines, which are hilarious. Besides this, the action scene have been well choreographed and they are also one of the main highlights of Baadshah. MR Varma's editing is also commendable. His work could have been excellent, if he had chopped off few scenes in the first half.

Thaman’s Rerecording added value to several scenes. Their picturisation and choreography are brilliant. Especially, the choreography of the songs like 'Sairo Sairo' and 'Rangoli' is simply amazing. His background score is another big asset to the film. Several cinematographers worked for the movie.

K.V. Guhan's Cinematography is the main highlight in the technical front. Four cinematographer like I Andrew, KV Guhan, Jayanan Vincent

and RD Rajasekhar handled the camera work for Baadshah, which is a visual treat. They have done brilliant work in capturing exotic locations in Italy, Switzerland and Bangkok.

Their work is rich and colourful.Action sequences are well choreographed. Editing by MR Varma is good. Producer Bandla Ganesh has produced the film with high production values.

Analysis:

The story isn’t new to Tollywood audiences also it has references to Srinu Vytla’s earlier movies. But just like Srinu Vytla’s films, Baadshah is also packed with loads of entertainment.One-liners like ‘Pitch Needaina match nadi’, ‘Bhayapade Vaadu Baanisa Bhayapette Vaadu Baadshah’ are entertaining in the film and strikes chords, and Kajal dialogues on society and converting lazy people to achievers are hilarious.

The first half of the film movies with characters introductions and refreshing NTR-Kajal’s scenes along with MS Narayana, Vennela Kishore comedy, but the flashback scenes drops the pace. The second half initially gets slow, but with Brahmanandam’s entry the movie picks the momentum and the entertainment quotient impresses you. Brahmanandam steals the show with his antics and Inception backdrop.

On the flip side, the emotional scenes could have been gripping and the long fights could have been reduced for the fast pace during interval.

NTR has rocked the screens in Justice Chowdary getup and Sangeet scenes dancing for Sr.NTR super hit tracks which would be a feast to all Tarak’s fans. Like all Srinu Vytla’s films, Baadshah has numerous casts, and delivers loads of laughs with clean entertainment.

Final Word:  Overall, Baadshah is a good masala entertainer, which has excellent performance by lead actors.The movie impresses all kinds of audience. It is a treat for NTR fans. Don't miss to watch the Young Tiger in action.Good treat for family audiences.But others can also enjoy this film for its comedy elements and NTR's powerful presence.
