Admirable film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

one of the most typical inspirational movies i have ever seen,Mahesh did an amazing job Puri(director)as well...each n every frame was fantastic whenever Mahesh appears though there are some lags.any way if you are Mahesh fan this would be feast for u..The man plot of this movie is just about man who is desperate become a DON in Mubai city.Every thing was perfect in Mubai until he arrives there.City police commissioner was very happy with the things the way going in Mubai.Surya is main lead character in this movie.The best part of this movie is screenplay and dialogues.He has a flash back in the past his parents were killed by a astonish man JayaDev.finally he will get his power against all odds.

I had the least expectations when watching this film, due to Puri Jagan's recent track record and the fact that most big movies flop releasing after a stupendous hit (Dookudu). I'm glad that I had the least expectations because I enjoyed the movie to the fullest. No unnecessary scenes in the film. The running time of the film is only 2 hours, 6 minutes. Mahesh Babu's acting was awesome! I am glad he came forward to do such a movie and he carried the film all the way. Puri Jagan's dialogues were excellent. A lot of them were worth blowing whistles and not many dialogues give that punch in movies: Only Puri can deliver such dialogues! Also, there are not many songs in the film so the tempo of the film is well-maintained. This is a good start for 2012. I am looking forward for Puri's upcoming films this year.

The Businessman has a mix of action, image, dialogue and montage but what makes it entertaining is that all the above quantities are inextricably bound and linked together at every level with an admirably tight script. It is a regular story but structurally, technically and content wise, the director makes no mistakes. He puts the passion of Neninthe, entertainment of Dhookudu and structure ofPokiri to churn out a story that really means business. The film benefits from other pre- release factors like Mahesh's super success of Dhookudu, Thaman's 'inspired'tunes that have already become a big hit and finally the lessons that Puri Jagannadh had learnt from his recent string of flops.The film has no frills, no vulgar wastage and the hero is practically in every frame; you hear only his voice, he looks good, sounds good, he also steals the comedian's job. The story is woven around a man who is hungry for power and grows by leaps and bounds to become a mafia don at a time when the competition is zilch in Mumbai. With little brawn and more brain he becomes a successful businessman, as crime is his business.The thrills for the audience, amoral enjoyment arrives with every step that Surya (Mahesh) climbs, he has the uncanny ability to deceive, to lie convincingly on all scales, as though this was second nature. Yet he is compelling when he speaks the truth. Mahesh plays it straight. His growth should have been slightly slow in the first few minutes allowing the audience to settle down with his character.The choreography is disappointing. No complaints on Kajal Agarwal's work, but the innocence in her eyes is gone. Ayesha who plays her friend is irritatingly screechy. The film has been given an A certificate not for violence or obscenity but for the dialogues that have the unmistakable Puri Jagan touch — rustic, raw and very profane.Jagan repeats most of the Pokiri team — Nasser, Prakash Raj, Sayaji Shinde, Subburaju and Brahmaji. However, there is no hangover as all the performances are fresh. The director's son Aakash who worked in Lotus Pond plays the young Mahesh here. Shweta Baradwaj's We Love Bad Boys borders on the vulgar, and there are scenes where the hero rolls out expletives, in muted fashion though the lip movement makes it very clear what the character is saying. Smart work, Puri.The director's tribute to Mumbai mafia redefines a cool and a brisk flourish. It seems like Puri cannot resist giving the hero's character a Robinhood touch. All in all, The Businessman is a good festival serving of cinema that brings back director Puri Jagan in form and officially crowns the hero for delivering two back-to-back hits.

WOW ... what a show by the Superstar, it just blows you away. Fast paced screen play, Mahesh's performance, dialogue delivery and Puri's best dialogs so far are just good enough to watch this movie multiple times. You do not feel bored even for few seconds during 2hr movie. Just go and watch if you haven't watched it yet. WOW ... what a show by the Superstar, it just blows you away.
