646f9e108c A gunman for hire is framed for murder, and assumes a dead man&#39;s identity while hiding from the police. To receive a sympathy vote, a crooked politician plans his own assassination attempt. Nandu is hired to merely wound the politician, but someone else pulls the trigger first. Framed for murder, Nandu flees and meets Pardhu, a man returning home after a long absence. The young man is killed in the police crossfire meant for Nandu. Nandu assumes Pardhu&#39;s identity and his new &quot;cousin&quot; has a romantic interest in him… One of the best films made in South-Indian film industry<br/><br/>Of course, it is inspired by a combination of Hollywood flicks like Shooter, The Bourne Series etc., The narration of the story is good. Rich film making, good story background, excellent performances, script, background score - Everything is an asset to this movie..<br/><br/>I would say, the main credit goes to Trivikram Srinivas - The director. Amazing dialogues (literally very good), excellent screenplay and fantastic direction. Mahesh babu, the lead actor, has done his career best. However, the director dominates every aspect of movie including Guhan&#39;s good camera work and Mani&#39;s music.<br/><br/>Finally, a must watch for a Telugu cine-goer. With his innocent looks, everyone thought that he could not play professional killer to good extent. But, Mahesh proved his critics wrong once again in this action drama. Though movie starteda pure action oriented, it slowly goes towards family drama. With few hiccups which are quite natural in mainstream cinema, Athadu is a must watch for Mahesh&#39; performance, good music and lavish production values. Kudos to Mahesh. From the other cast, Sonu Sood did not have much scope. Nasser&#39;s getup did not suit him much. Veteran actor would have justified the role well. Trisha has nothing different to offer. Director Trivikram shifted to a different genre of movies. He made sure that his talent is exhibited in every shot.
