Movie Review

The film got different reviews from different groups of society and media sources. Some reviewed that Mohan Babu entirely drove the Movie and can be said the "one-man show" of Mahesh Babu. Some said that the Movie had a short run-time, but producers and directors forcefully increased the Movie's length, making watchers feel bored and unrealistic. This film has received several disappointing ratings; the Times of India rated the Movie 1.5 out of 5. A Telugu newspaper rated it 2.2 out of 5. Asianet News rated it with 2 / 5. Pinkvilla awarded the Movie a rating of 1.5 out of 5. It reviewed that most of the characters in the Movie are kept hidden in most of the crucial scenes.

Background characters are blurred to show only the lead actor, Mohan Babu. Makers of the film thought that the public was only willing to see Mohan Babu in the Movie. Still, they forgot that the story and background characters also play a significant role in making the Movie successful. A reviewer from The Hindu said that the Movie is shown clumsily and has an outdated story that could not excite the viewers. A short story is shown in a prolonged duration of one hour forty-two minutes. The average user rating of the Movie, as given by the viewers, is 1 out of 5. Vamshi Krishna, a reviewer, posted an unfavourable rating of the Movie. He also said that Mohan Babu should not have destroyed his image as he is a strong pillar of Telugu cinema. He says he does not have a proper description for Son of India, so he explained the Movie in single words. He called the Movie Overacting, with old and rough dialogues; Overconfidence leads to failure, senseless content of a story, using the idea of nationalism for the logicless plot. Good comedians have gone imageless. Then he requested Mohan Babu not to act in such a disgusting movie again. Mohan Babu has a tremendous amount of success and a long-time legendary experience. He has played the roles of unbeatable characters in his acting career.

Performance of Characters in the Movie

He played many leading roles in different movies, and in this Movie, also he acted as the main character. He has shown his great action and acting skills in the Movie. Other characters in the Movie could have played their roles better. Viewers feel that the Movie's other characters are blurred in the background, so viewers can only focus on Mohan Babu

Some characters like Srikanth and Meena play non-significant roles in the Movie. The comedy club of the Movie could be better appreciated. Sunil, Ali, Ganesh, and Kishore could not add much humour to the Movie. Diamond Ratna Babu gives the screenplay for the Movie. He is also the director of the film. The idea and plot of the Movie were great, but the implementation needed to be improved. Makers of the Movie forcefully extended the story. The Movie is meant to take less than 1 hr and 42 mins. The music of the Movie is also good. The music selected fits every scene of the Movie. Even a separate song is selected for the entry scene of Mohan Babu. Sarvesh Murar i provides the cinematography of the Movie. The Movie's story and overall plot are expected to make the crowd excited and happy, but it failed due to several factors.

The Son of India is a suspenseful action drama. This Movie attempts to address a broader public issue. First, everyone is curious about the so many kidnappings in the state. The explanation will be made clear in a subsequent episode. The Movie can be displayed more effectively to increase its impact on the crowd. But they have tried their best to make the Movie the finest. The screenplay's pacing and narrative framework are excellent.

Additionally, the filmmakers tried a little amount of experimentation by focusing the crucial scenes of the Movie only on Mohan Babu. The results of this are the creation of a clumsy movie rather than a successful experiment. Son of India is a well-made film overall, given several constraints.

Conclusion

"Son of India" is an action-packed Telugu movie with a charming storyline inspired by actual events. Mohan Babu delivers a remarkable performance as the main character, while Pragya Jaiswal's role suffers from weak acting. The film showcases various actors' talents, although some need to be more utilized in their less prominent roles. While the attempt to experiment with featuring only Mohan Babu for most of the film may not be universally accepted, "Son of India" failed to overcome its limitations and deliver an entertaining experience. This is why the Movie got very disappointing reviews from the viewers. Most of the crowd reached theatres to see only Mohan Babu acting.
