About This Movie

Athadu is a solid mix of action and family drama, layered with a thriller's tension. Trivikram Srinivas really knows how to blend these elements. Mahesh Babu as Nandu delivers a compelling performance; he carries the weight of his character's predicament well. The pacing is tight, keeping you engaged as the plot twists unfold. There's a gritty atmosphere throughout, particularly in the action scenes, which, while not groundbreaking, are well-executed with practical effects that feel satisfying. The film plays with themes of identity and morality, making it more than just a straightforward action flick. It's interesting how the film juggles humor and intense moments, reflecting the duality of Nandu's life. Definitely a noteworthy entry in the Telugu cinema of the mid-2000s.
