Balayya’s best performance, no second thoughts. Hero performance in action scenes etu manaki kotha kadhu, but emotional scenes he handled with panache, wine age aina kodhi taste periginattu, Balayya age perige kodhi ilanti scenes lo peaks chupisthunnadu. Overall Legend role lo nijam ga legendary performance ichadu, fans ke kadhu evaru aina sare spellbound avvalsindhe, aa pogaru, pourusham, manasulo baadha, prajalaki chedu ane visham kantam lo bandhinchi, lokanni sasisthunna shivudi la thana roudra rupam tho screen medha chelaregipoyadu. Young nbk character aged ga anipinchina dances matuku super, choreographers manchi steps icharu, screen medha appealing ga unnai, unlike his previous movies, especially special mention for time bomb song. Ee age lo dance cheyali annaa commitment ki enni cheepina thakkuve.

Boyapati ki hats-off. Dhammu ki overconfidence tho chesina mistakes anni ikkada overcome chesadu, right from casting to screenplay to climax, ekkada flow nunchi deviate kaledhu, tempo ekkada down avvaledhu till subham card. Mana vision of seeing Balayya, kante ayana vision goppadhi, Balayya ni chupinchatam lo new milestones set chesthunnadu. Idhi 100th film aithe bagundu anipinchindhi, but I wish he gets to direct 100th film and complete a grand hattrick. Boyapati chinna chinnavi like MP table medha emi unte baguntundhi lantivi kuda chala care theesukoni chesadu, konni frames aithe asala tooo muchhh.

Jagapati babu, big namaskaram for keeping ego aside and accepting this role, he added lot of charisma and freshness to the movie, with his new expressions and dialogues. Villain character ki 100% commit ayyi chesadu and he excelled contrary to my expectations.

Radhika Apte - Role chinnadhi aina 15 min. just superb, big + for the movie, 2 scenes where she got dialogues, normal tone tho start ayyi emotional tone tho end cheyali, hindi actor aina perfect execution. Chala elevate chesindhi aa part of the movie ni. Song with balayya baga pandindhi.

DSP - Excellent background music. Konni scenes racha lepi next level ki theesukuvelladu. Climax lo villain ni champe scene simple aina, akkada correct lyrics and background tho manchu feel theppinchadu.



Producers - Pettina money, prathi frame lo kanapadindhi, they will get back their returns and also profits. Valla mana fans ye kabatti, hope they will promote the film to reach majority audience.

Other caste bagane chesaru valla roles lo, nbk's grandmom, sonal chouhan etc. Brahmi comedy 2 times work ayyindhi 2 times fail ayyindhi.

Other +ves, every frame rich ga kanapadatam, screenplay superfast, pre-interval and post-interval scenes

-ves are editing, inka akkadakkada konni unnai kani film effect chese antha kadhu.

Comparison to Simha
Simha Raw aithe idhi Refined movie. Konni Simha fights ultimate, but overall film compare chesthe Legend outscores easily. Legend has better story (although Simha template ki close ga unna), better hero introduction, better emotional content, better richness.

Trivia
Climax assembly scenes mla dialogues current janala thinking and mindset ni bags expose chesadu. Ee movie watch chesedhi mostly masses kabatti, I am expecting it will change at-least 5% of the people and is huge + for the party.

Class vs Mass
Class or mass, as long as it provides entertainment its a hit movie watched by both classes and masses. Entertainment action-emotion tho provide cheyochu, comedy-romance tho provide cheyochu or completely novel story line tho cheyochu. NBK’s forte is action-emotion, konthamandhiki heroes ki veredhi, anthukani we need not undermine them. Oka pakka manaki idhe strong point at the same time idhe weak-point ayyi kurchundhi. Enthukante action-emotion mixing lo konchem theda aina nakesthai, one of the reasons why industry is moving towards more comedy which is slightly safer bet, but once in a while we revisit the action-emotion genre and get blockbusters. Legend is one such blockbuster for this year. Balayya image ki ee film huge +, more ++++ than Simha.

Boxoffice Performance
Movie chudakamundhu konthamandhi emotional content gurinchi, climax gurinchi etc. cheppi entha collect chesthundho, ekkada end avuthundho final ga ani doubts express chesaru. But after watching, to me its clear, idhi ~50 cr. cinema, second thoughts kuda anavasaram, ye addankulu vachina thokki padesthadu, it will reach its goal and might even surprise us.

PS: Thanks to Nitho for providing ticket CLIPART--victory
