Analysis
'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' is a Trivikram mark entertainer. The 'Maatala Maanthrikudu' entertains the audiences with good one liners and comedy. The emotions are dealt well. The cast and crew are selected well and they did complete justice.
But the film lags in the second half and seems lengthy. Audiences might get a feeling that about 20 mins of the film can be edited out. There is no strong villain in the movie and climax might disappoint many. Some scenes remind us of those from some of Trivikram's earlier movies.
Despite its flaws, 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' is a fun movie to watch this Sankranthi season. Go watch it with your family.
