Akhil Akkineni, who had begun his career with back to back huge disasters Akhil and Hello has this time joined hands with young director Venky Atluri who had proven himself with his debut movie Tholi Prema to deliver Mr Majnu which has released today amidst good expectations. Here's team AP Herald's exclusive first on net Mr Majnu review.

Vikky (Akhil Akkineni) is a Casanova who doesn't want to enter into any kind of relationship but is a typical casual flirt and is a Playboy. However as he tries his tricks with Nikky (Nidhi Agerwal), unlike other girls he meets she falls for him and expresses her love after initially not falling for his charm. While she tries to make him get committed to the relationship, he leaves her halfway after getting close to her and her family. Whether Vikky realised what's true love and got into a relationship falling in love with Nikky is what Mr Majnu is all about.


Akhil Akkineni has shown good improvement from his Hello and Akhil days, but despite his energy and powerful dance moves, the actor still has a long way to go in terms of emotions. Nidhi Agerwal is adequate though her reactions look almost similar on most of the occasions. Isabelle Leite is hot and looks pretty on screen while veteran Rao Ramesh is good in his limited role. The rest of the cast including Jayaprakash, Subbaraju, Pavithra and Sithara don't get much scope.

Background score by Thaman is matching the romantic genre, while of his songs, Yemainado, Naalo Neeku, and Hey Nenila are hum-worthy. Cinematography by George C Williams captures the exotic locations of London and many other places aesthetically. Navin Nooli's editing could have been tight. Director Venky Atluri had made a superb debut with Tholi Prema last year and was appreciated for his fresh screenplay even in a routine script. 

However this time around despite choosing an interesting premise of a Playboy youngster finding his perfect girl finally has failed in execution as his first half moves at a leisurely pace establishing the characters while the second half drags big time when it is expected that the screenplay should be pacy. Moreover, the screenplay is a mashup of one boring romantic episode followed by a song and repeat the routine again and again till the end, pathetically placing the songs and with poor Performances. All said Mr. Majnu is yet another failure for Akhil making it a hat-trick of disasters.
