Acharya Movie Review and Rating

Movie Review:  Acharya Director :  Koratala Siva Producer :  Niranjan Reddy, Anvesh Reddy, Ram Charan Music Director :  Mani Sharma Starring :   Chiranjeevi , Ram Charan, Pooja Hegde, Sonu Sood Rating:   2.75 /5 Date:  29 th  April 2022

Acharya Movie Review:  Written and directed by Koratala Siva, the film  Acharya has Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles. The big budget social drama Acharya has hit the theaters today. Let’s see the story of Acharya.

Story:  Acharya  is based in the temple town of Dharmasthali. A politically influencing personality Basava(Sonu Sood), does  illegal activities  and dominates Dharmasthali.  Acharya (Chiranjeevi) makes his entry at Dharmasthali and creates fear in Basava. What is his connection of Acharya  with Siddha (Ram Charan) ? Who is Siddha? Who will save Dharmasthali? To get these answers, one should watch the movie on silver screen.

Plus Points:

• Presence of Chiranjeevi and his dance moves
• Naxalites fight
• Charan and Chiranjeevi combination scenes

Minus points:

• Routine Story
• Lack of Entertainment
• Lack of strong villain

Performance:    Megastar Chiranjeevi excels in the role of Acharya at both. He wins the audience’s heart with an honest performance and dancing style at this age. He delivers note noteworthy performance.  Chiru’ expressions, way of dialogue delivery, stunning dance moves and action sequences are mind-blowing.  Ram Charan  gives his best in the Siddha role.  Charan, a boy from Gurukul, looks peaceful but later he transforms into a mass avatar, which is amazing. Both Chiranjeevi and  Ram Charan look amazing on screen in a single frame. Pooja Hegde looks pretty and performs well. Jisshu Sen Gupta and Sonu Sood are ok.  Other supporting artists are fine.

Technical:   Once again Koratala Siva made his comeback with a social drama but this time with a weak script and dull presentation. He disappointed the movie lovers with the outdated story and screenplay. The cinematography work is impressive.  Thiru captures  the forest locales and lush greenery in his own style. Visuals are awesome. Editing is  good.  The background score  by Mani Sharma elevates the emotion of the scenes. The foot tapping songs are impressive.  The production value is top notch, the makers did not compromise with the quality of the movie.

Analysis:  The first half of Acharya has no interesting moments and the climax looks forced.  The one of the major drawbacks of Acharya is the lack of a strong villain. Sonu Sood has become a real hero  post-Covid crisis and that is the reason he does not look menacing.

Acharya Review

What's Behind

Mega Star Chiranjeevi's Acharya is releasing on April 29, 2022 in a spectacular manner across the world. The film is generating immense hype as Chiranjeevi is coming to entertain movie lovers after a gap of more than two years and he is sharing screen presence with his son Mega Power Star Ram Charan in a full-length role for the first time. The film directed by Koratala Shiva is increasing curiosity among all. Let us find out what Acharya offered to movie lovers.

Story Review

Acharya (Chiranjeevi) gets disappointed when he sees the temple town of Dharmasthali a contrast to what he heard of. He quickly finds the core problem as nefarious plans are on to separate Dharmasthali from the tribals of Paadaghattam. Where this leads to and what is the connection to it with the town's municipal chairman Basava (Sonu Sood), influential business magnate Rathod (Jisshu Sen Gupta), and the dream of Siddha (Ram Charan) and whether is love with Neelambari (Pooja Hegde) succeeds, becomes the crux of Acharya.

Artists, Technicians Review

The entire industry envied when Koratala Shiva got the lucky chance to direct Mega Star Chiranjeevi for which many aspire for decades. However, there is no denying the fact that Koratala was rewarded after he scored hits with his previous entertainers that are filled with a social message. Not only mega fans but also movie lovers expected wonders from Kortala and Mega Star Chiranjeevi and when Ram Charan became a part of it, their joy knew no bounds.

The Dharmasthali backdrop, temple setup, etc excited all and the proceedings start in a similar fashion. However routine elements enter and from there on it turned out to be a tedious watch. Even the entry of Chiranjeevi as Acharya did not liven up the proceedings and viewers wait patiently for something magical to happen as Chiranjeevi dances and fights with ease. The entry of Ram Charan brings life into the narration and the flashes of Ram Charan as Siddha bring curtains to the first half. When people expect a power-packed second half with Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, the narration reaches a new nadir. The naxal backdrop and everything else turns tried and tested for a long as viewers have watched such scenes in many films earlier. With Koratala unable to elevate the narration with the twists and turns, monotony plays spoilsport with silly and illogical scenes like the comical fight featuring Ram Charan and Chiranjeevi. The film finally ends the relentless torture of the viewers with the mundane climax.

Koratala Shiva drew inspiration from many earlier films for Acharya and for all the hype everything turned artificial. Nothing breathed life into the story and even the stunts choreographed by Ram Lakshman failed to give goosebumps to the viewers and the dance movements choreographed for the songs by Prem Rakshit turned out to be repetitive. Dialogues looked pretty average and Koratala's reputation took a beating.

Chiranjeevi tried his best to do full justice to his role. He tried to bring life into his passive role with his mannerisms and expressions. For all his efforts, he could only stop the ship from sinking. He danced with ease and is a delight to watch be it the item song Saana Kashtam with Regina Cassandra or Banjara with his son Ram Charan. He did good stunts showing that he still has it in him to carry the film on his shoulders. But one gets a feeling that his judgment misfired this time.

Ram Charan with his performance increased the expectations of the proceedings among movie lovers. He performed well as a person who believes in dharma and even sacrifices his love to save dharma. He enacted action sequences along with his dad and danced well in a romantic manner with Pooja Hegde and delighted all the fans by sharing screen presence with his dad Chiranjeevi.

Pooja Hegde got a limited screen presence and she is confined to a romantic song and a scene. Others just passed through the motions. Sonu Sood got a typical villain role and he did what was expected from him. Nassar, Jisshu Sen Gupta, and Satyadev got limited roles while Tanikella Bharani and Ajay are not utilized properly. Regina Cassandra oozed with glamor in the special song. Mahesh Babu powered the film with his voice-over.

Tirru's cinematography is good and showed the Dharmasthali and Paadaghattam proceedings and also the Naxal backdrop quite well. The artwork of Suresh Selvarajan is good. However, at times, the sets looked artificial. Naveen Nooli's editing turned out to be average as he left many repetitive scenes which dragged the film's proceedings. Mani Sharma disappointed in no time as his background score turned out to be below average. Even the songs are pretty average and a couple of songs are talked about only for the dance movements of Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. Production values are grand.

Rating Analysis

Koratala Shiva's Acharya with Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan turned out to be a disappointing fare by all means. With missing elevations, emotions, and a completely outdated and routine story that lacked the real twists and turns, even fans found it a miserable watch. Considering all these aspects, CJ goes with a 2.25 rating for Acharya.

Theres no other way to say this €” Acharya lacks the soul it needed to pull off a tale that banks too much on people connecting to the concept of dharma. We all know Koratala Siva, Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan can deliver something more than this.

Ratings: 2.5/5 Review By: Janani Site:India Today

A lot of expectations were riding on director Koratala Siva’s Acharya, which brought together father-son duo Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. In fact, it became a calling card for Acharya. Now that it hit the theatres, did Acharya live up to the hype? Sadly, the answer would be a big NO.

Ratings: 2/5 Review By: Venkat Site: Great Andhra

€œAcharya€ seems to have suffered from long delays and many reshoots. But primarily, the soul is lacking and the narrative is totally boring. In nutshell, watching €œAcharya€ without falling into sleep mode is difficult.

Ratings: 2.75/5 Review By: 123Telugu Site:123Telugu

On the whole, Acharya is a temple town drama that has some good father-son moments. The backdrop is decent but the narration is insipid and does not gives the audience a high. Storywise too, there is no novelty and the electrifying drama one expects from a Koratala film is missing. The regular audience will get disappointed with Acharya but Chiranjeevi and Charan make the fans happy, with their chemistry and solid screen presence.

Ratings: 2/5 Review By: Mirchi9 Site:Mirchi9

Overall, Acharya is undoubtedly the weakest work of Koratala Siva by miles. He fails to use the stars at his disposal and gives them a lifeless, dull, and tiring cliched action drama. Even the die-hard fans will find it challenging to sit through the movie in its entirety.

‘Acharya’ movie review: A dated narrative that never takes off

The playoffs between chiranjeevi and ram charan are endearing, but the film is utterly boring.

Published - April 29, 2022 03:32 pm IST

Ram Charan and Chiranjeevi in ‘Acharya’

Had the story of Acharya been published in written form, it could have been a short fiction of a temple town with a mythical past. A temple dating back to 800 years is at the heart of two settlements — Dharmasthali and Padaghattam — flanked by a sparkling river and dense forests. As vested interests arise, people desperately try to hold on to hope; an unlikely saviour helps restore dharma. Such a story may not get old when passed on from one generation to another as a folk tale. As a mainstream film, it can get outdated. That’s precisely what happens to Acharya. Despite the presence of Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan and a whole lot of masala elements thrown in, it ends up as a dull film that never takes off.

Director Koratala Siva saves the best for the latter half, showcasing the camaraderie between Acharya (Chiranjeevi) and Siddha (Ram Charan). The former is a Naxalite while the latter has grown up in a gurukul. There is, of course, a backstory that connects these characters and makes Acharya hover protectively around Siddha. 

With the superstar father and son enacting these characters, there are the high moments of watching them pull off choreographed stunt sequences and dance in sync to the ‘Bhale bhale banjara’ song. There are moments when Chiranjeevi’s eyes swell with pride as he watches Ram Charan hold forth on what is right and wrong, and why he would go to any length to save someone of his ilk.

Cast: Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Pooja Hegde

Direction: koratala siva, music: mani sharma.

Ram Charan is at ease playing Siddha, bringing in an innate elegance for the part. After RRR , this is another film where he manages to emote with his eyes. Chiranjeevi proves yet again that he can still pull off a heroic character in his 60s, carrying himself with style and grace. He is not shown romancing a woman half his age, and that is a saving grace.

But then, all this never ever feels enough. Dharmasthali and its surrounding areas are visually gorgeous, thanks to production designer Suresh Selvarajan who creates a breathtaking fictional temple town and cinematographer S Thirunavukkarasu who captures it gloriously. The green foliage and kumkum reds contrasting the black temple stones make for an interesting visual tapestry. But how long can we soak in the milieu when the story fails to hold interest? 

It is the same old set of situations — people at the mercy of greedy villains who nurture political ambitions. The people of Padaghattam, led by Ajay, get something better to do than the people of Dharmasthali, given their story about Ayurveda practice. Don’t ask how Dharmasthali and Padaghatam manage to remain cut off from the outside world though.

Acharya imparts one lesson after another through stunt sequences that appear dated by a decade or two. In fact, the masala segments in Koratala Siva’s earlier films were more entertaining.

Sonu Sood could have played the caricaturish Basava in his sleep. Jisshu Sengupta plays another villain without bringing in any nuance. Shouldering this film rests squarely on the shoulders of Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, but there is nothing much they can do. Their contrasting ideologies also remain at a surface level. Siddha is better written than Acharya. You get an insight into the gurukul teaching that shaped Siddha, but it is very little about what Acharya and his Comrades are fighting for. A little depth would not have hurt.

The one who looks absolutely lost is Pooja Hegde. We get that this is a film powered by two A-list male stars, but the woman’s character can at least get closure for her journey. The makers deciding to do away with Kajal Aggarwal’s portions seems to be a good idea, given how little has gone into the characterisation of Pooja’s Neelambari. A whole lot of others come and go, without the scope to leave a mark. Acharya also needed a better musical score.

Chiranjeevi pushing a chariot, fighting and dancing in tandem with Ram Charan are the only high points. The VFX-enabled scene showing a young Chiranjeevi ends up as an experiment with an awkward result. 

As an afterthought, perhaps what makes Acharya appear all the more boring is its arrival barely weeks after RRR . While watching the ‘Bhale bhale banjara’ song and the forest stunt sequences, I could not help but be reminded of Rajamouli’s film, where these larger-than-life sequences were innovative and far more entertaining. Maybe it is unfair to draw such comparisons, but watching Charan in similar sequences, the RRR memory is tough to shake off so soon.
