terrible... so disappointed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The entire movies revolves around the psychological problems of the lead actor. It is an unconventional film among out of the mill scripts of Telugu cinema. The cinematography and music are top-notch.The story is gripping, but screenplay has been deliberately spoiled to add commercial elements. The love track has little significance in the overall story. You can sleep during the entire Goa episode, and can still understand the main plot. The stunts and item song are not relevant at some places.The director Sukumar should have taken care of the screenplay, but he focused mainly on easter eggs which add no value to the overall plot. It's a potential movie, but spoiled just to match the commercial image of Mahesh. It'd probably have been a blockbuster if made faithful to the original theme.

I don't know why a film like nenokkadine is not appreciated and termed as a flop in box office?Routine shows like attarintiki daredi earning crores in the box office while one of the best experimentation in Indian film history-1 Nenokkadine flopped! Telugu people have gone mad.Why do tollywood always need a six song six fight formula to survive? Nenokkadine questions the routine tollywood formula and has succeeded in it.Hats off to Sukumar and Mahesh for giving a Hollywood range to tollywood.1 nenokkadine is about a rockstar's quest to avenge the death of his parents. But he suffers from a mental disorder which deceives his mind to take hallucinations as reality and reality as hallucination.He has to overcome his mental disorder to succeed in his mission.Mahesh Babu is just terrific. It is one of the best role in his career.Most of the Telugu heroes try the same scripts to survive in this industry.But mahesh was very bold to accept a script which is never heard off before. The acting of mahesh in the climax sequence is superb. He proved that he is the only 'number one' in tollywood through this film.The heroine Kriti Sanon did lent good support to hero and her screen pairing with mahesh looked fresh. I can't disclose the name of the villains. All the villains did good job.But the real hero of this movie is director sukumar who gave a Hollywood range to this film. His direction was excellent. He mixed logic to the movie which most Telugu films lack.One beautiful scene I can never forget from this film is that of mahesh running after his real life son gautham .This scene portrayed hero's search for his past.That is the best scene of this movie in my opinion.The Rubik cube scenes were also good.The story and screenplay of the film is fresh and daring. Dialogues are well written. Camera and editing done to perfection.Locations very good.Action scenes just more than outstanding or excellent. Coming to music , DSP rocked. The song 'Who are you' is my personal best.Overall 1 nenokkadine is one of the best of Indian films. Those who blame tollywood for lack of freshness should watch nenokkadine. A benchmark and a textbook for future films to come. I am film lover from Kerala who is not too good in Telugu language. Even I liked this film. This film is one of the strong reasons why I see Mahesh Babu as the next 'one and only number 1' of south India. My mark for 1 nenokkadine: 1000000000000 out of 10Note:Even though the film is recorded as a flop in telugu ,it went on to become a mega hit in Kerala and overseas market.

Sukumar is very wise. His ideals are quite different from others. How different it means is ….. the movie will be confused, if he makes the movie in a different mood. Should run along with him and should think alike him. The movies Arya, Jagadam, Arya 2, 100% Love…. are all in the same way. Sukumar made a habit of thinking in a different manner, very far from the general audience. That's his Positive aspect. But now that positive aspect proved to be Negative, with his latest movie "1". Frankly, the movie is very new and looks to be different.The Telugu audience has never seen such a different story previously and even Mahesh has never performed such a role earlier. But audience should be able to understand this new aspect. If it is like a sort of enigma, the movie tells us about the result. The Story is ………Gautam (Mahesh Babu), a rock star. He rocks the audience with the musical world of his songs. He has some flash-back. Unfortunately, he doesn't know the past. But haunted. He makes illusion that someone is going to kill him. In that aspect, he kills someone and surrenders himself. But the strange thing is that what he thinks he had killed someone is also an illusion.Doctors confirm that he has some mental illness. In this confusion, he leaves for Goa. There he comes across his illusion ed chasing man(KELLYDORGE). Sameera (Kruti Sanan) who is a reporter follows Gautam. She tries to know about Gautam's past. In Goa also, attacks take place on Gautam. There he understands, who are attacking him and why they are attacking him. Gautamki has a flash back. Someone killed her father. Now , they are trying to kill him. Gautam , now has two main issues. Who are his parents? Who killed them? How he came to know about these things? Who said about that? All these should be watched on the silver screen.There is a lot of confusion in the story. You may not hold all of them immediately. So, we explained the story in this simple manner. This is a psychological thriller. Its an another angle of the Surya's movie Ghajini. Ghajini forgets once for every 15 minutes. Here Gautam, feels the reality as an illusion and illusion as a reality. The story runs on this theme. There are a lot of riddles in this story, which really confused the audience. In comparison to first half, second half is more confusing.It seems that Sukumar might have left his hold on the steering, in the confusion of driving the story. With this, the confusion still increased a lot. It is very funny, to see that nobody comes to the rescue , if a rock star runs and kills someone on the London roads. In a movie , we should not earn such logic, but for a intellectual like Sukumar, how it is possible to make a movie without such simple logic. The climax drama of the film,that took place between Nasser and Mahesh is still ridiculous. But, after all the Movie is about Mahesh, so anyway, audience will sit in the Theatre to see his Handsome face.This is really the Director's inefficiency. He is unable to understand how to utilize a Star like Mahesh. He should make movies with brilliance.But ,if a movie is made with so much brilliance, then it becomes a Kangali. As it is felt that the movie brings Sankranthi, two days before, now its great if it stays till Sankranthi.

This one psychological thriller lists in 2nd position in my thriller movie list, after inception. For many inception took a while to make sense. this one is a quick fire and superbly acted out by the lead. You won't be thinking of pausing the movie till you are finished. It will keep you glued to your seat, so make sure you get some snacks on you and enjoy this awesomeness Tonne of reasons why IMDb ranks this in 4th position. The direction has been executed very well and all other factors- the background music, the ambiance, the role played out by the lead in its most preciseness corroborate to its awesomeness. The only reason I can think of why this was not a box office hit is.....no idea!! Absolute awesomeness guys!! Try it for sure!! It is 4th for a reason!
