This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Mixture of all previous movies. Nothing new. Worst acting by mahesh babu. He tried to act like pawan kalyan in gabbar singh. But he totally failed.Story:- ​​Encounter ​specialist ​Shankar (Mahesh Babu) is posted to a small town called Bukkapattanam. The entire area is dominated by a ​ dreaded don called Damodar (Sonu Sood),​ who runs illegal businesses by threatening the poor. Shankar decides to take ​things in his hands, and starts ​planning ​Damodar's decline. ​Midway through, he comes to know about a shocking truth about Damodar, which relates back to his family. What is that truth ? How does Shankar manage to destroy Damodar​ and his empire ? and Where does Saroja(Tamannah) and Delhi Suri(Brahmanandam) fit in this entire set up ?. To know answers to all these questions, you need to watch the film on big screen. Plus Points:- Aagadu is an out and out Mahesh Babu film. Right from the word go, it ​i​s ​Mahesh's histrionics which dominate the show completely. As usual, Mahesh looks extremely dashing, and carries out his role of ​a cop supremely well. The way he goes about his character, and blends himself into the script​,​ is quite amazing. Interesting factor to watch out for is the fun element that he brings in his character, which is filled with punch dialogues and satires. Tamannah looks gorgeous as the village belle, and is a perfect Jodi for Mahesh Babu. First half of the film is highly entertaining, and brings in a lot of fun. Shruthi Haasan's song is a special bonus to the masses as she oozes ​sensuous charm and glamour. Brahmanandam brings in decent laughs in the second half, and his dance episode in particular is quite hilarious. ​ ​ ​ Nasser ​is superb as the police constable​,​​ and his scenes with Mahesh and Vennela Kishore have come out quite well. ​S​ongs ​are entertaining and ​have also been shot well​. Rajendra Prasad, Posani and Ashish Vidhyardhi are decent in their respective roles. ​M​inus Points:- As expected, even Aagadu has the same trademark Sreenu Vaitla set up and comedy. The entire second half has been spoofed on his earlier films like Dookudu. Once the so called twists are unleashed, the film becomes predictable.

Its a known secrete that srinu vaitla shows the first look of any movie as action & energetic for crowed pulling but after sitting in movie hall everybody njoys the comedy of his own hero Brahmanandam and forgets who is the actual hero for the movie.When it comes to mahesh babu, he built his comedy skills from Kaleja so there is no need to comment on his comedy acting, he is sure to make audience njoy his part.Srinu vaitla may be bullied in drunken parties in his younger age, so we can surely expect a drink party scene in which either hero or others bullies a single person(the same in this movie also so no comments on this)Story is based on a cop drama which we all can expect from the beginning of the movies tittle, first look, trailers. but this cop drama lagged lot in cop sequences and involved in mingling with common people of the town which made the angry energetic cop mahesh to be more comedy oriented cop.After first half we can surely feel that there is no strong interval bang and no anxiety on the rest of the story that what will be next and disappointment for the story which we watched until interval.Second half as usually brahmi enters and scenes are felt to be repeat of Dookudu movie.Overall real disappointment. Songs are good like saroja, junction lo, thaman says he is fan of mahesh but failed to give an energetic bgm score.

Hey!I am a fan of Mahesh.Today I saw Aagadu and after watching it I felt like why did i spend 300 bucks on this movie though there is my favorite hero in it.yes,most of people especially abroad like him because of his story selection and action.Mahesh blindly believed in Srinuvaitla as earlier he believed in Gunasekhar.Sruthi Hassan was better than Tamanna in the movie.There is forced comedy everywhere.Even dialogs are not up-to the mark.cinematography is good.The main flaw is story and screenplay.The director was close to this result at the time of Baadshah where he had to realize but he dint.on the whole if there is any fan like me then i suggest them not to see this movie.you will feel like why an actor like Mahesh selected aagadu.in the film they show attitude+gratitude =Aagadu.But I felt like gratitude =aagadu that thing which Mahesh has towards Srinuvaitla because of Dookudu.

Totally Mahesh's A One Man Show.Plus: Mahesh looks extremely dashing, and carries out his role of ​a cop supremely well.The way he goes about his character, and blends himself into the script​,​ is quite amazing.Negative: Aagadu has the same trademark Sreenu Vaitla set up and comedy of Past movies like Dookudu and Badshaw.Every Scene of the film is predictable. Climax of the film is quite simple, and is just hurried on to us.Overall: With Aagadu, Mahesh Babu once again proves his super stardom. Right from the word go, it is Mahesh, Mahesh and only Mahesh throughout the film. Even though this film has routine similarities to Vaitla's previous flicks, entertaining comedy in the first half coupled with some decent music makes this film an​ OK​ ​family entertainer.
