WHAT CAN YOU SAY WHEN AN ACTION MOVIE DELIVERS BUT WOW. YES,WOW IS THE WORD FOR ATHADU STARRING THE YOUNG ACTOR MAHESH BABU MANY SAID THIS YOUNG MAN COULDN'T PLAY THIS ROLE. BOY WERE THEY WRONG. MAHESH IS EXCELLENT AND SO IS THE REST OF THE CAST OF ATHADU. PLAYING AN ASSASSIN MAHESH FINDS HIMSELF FRAMED MURDER . HE MUST CLEAR HIS NAME WHILE TRYING TO STAY ALIVE. THE ACTION SCENES ARE GREAT WITH MAHESH DOING MANY OF HIS
OWN STUNTS. AND DON'T FEAR LADIES THERE IS A LOVE STORY. I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND COULD WATCH IT OVER AND OVER
Mahesh gives his breath taking performance and direction is truly masterpiece

Unquestionably, Trivikram's slickness deserts him somewhat once Athadu shifts to the rural "family film" setting, with its by-now usual tropes of puerile female characters indistinguishable from one film to another (this one's female lead is Poori (Trisha Krishnan)) and gratuitous sexism. ...

Yet, all things considered, Athadu is a good entertainer.....Mani Sharma's music, especially the title song, is very good.His re-recording also fits the bill.....Nasser is also good in his simple role.....Kota, Sayaji Shinde all do their baddie job well..... ... Full Review
