This is the dumbest movie I have ever seen my entire life. In fact I am shocked when I saw a rating of 7.2 for this awful movie in IMDb. My 10 year old kid is more logical than Boyapati. I still wonder how the hell did he become such a big and famous director? Anyway, coming to the movie, there is nothing but useless fights, heroines' glamour and an item song with rocking dance of AA in it. Don't even think about the story, because when Boyapati directs a movie, there won't be any story in it. As far as acting goes, Sai Kumar, JP, Chalapathi Rao and other legendary actors were seriously under-used. Heroines don't have much to do other than flaunting and dancing for the songs, decent role for Srikanth and lame comedy from Brahmanandam. Overall, this movie is a perfect example of how a movie should not be. Boyapati thinks audience are dumb just like him to watch his stupid films with absolutely no logic at all. I request everyone to boycott such stupid movies. At least then these kind of directors realize their mistakes and start doing sensible movies.

High voltage mass entertainer
vjnambu20 November 2018
Plus:
1. Allu arjun's oora mass performance
2. Hero elevation scenes
3. Aadi pinisetty
4. Action scenes (especially climax fight)
5. Songs and bgm
6. Cinematography
Minus: 1. No story 2. No logic 3. Catherine tresa role was unnecessary Verdict: Allu arjun fans and mass action lovers will love it.

Ridiculous, Mindless, Dumb, Violent Movie
murlimohanrao21 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Watched the special show of Sarrainodu at midnight on 21st in Sharjah.
The story is very lame and similar to most Boyapati movies. Needless violence, glorification of violent acts, wafer thin story, two heroines, item song etc. etc. There is nothing new to boast off. Even the dialogues have a sense of deja vu. It is not even like old wine in a new bottle ... it is actually old wine in an old bottle. The story or whatever you may want to call it consists of Arjun who playing the role of a vigilante who cannot see injustice anywhere. He is willing to even kill in justification of justice. How sick is that and how foolish is that his father who happens to be an IAS officer merely chides him for being difficult. The father has to be phenomenally blind or an idiot to condone and pass of such behaviour as mere transgressions.
Arjun falls in love with the local area MLA -Catherine. Can you believe that Boyapati has made Catherine an MLA who moves around in designer clothes that reveals more of her body than hides it. He keeps on tailing her and the girl falls for him. Unmindful of this, his father packs him off to a village to see his friends daughter and be accepted by the daughter Rakul. Here, he gets involved in an altercation with the villain who in fact happens to be his nemesis from an altercation in the city. From here begins a tale of mindless gore, revenge and forced emotions.
I cannot believe that I sacrificed my precious sleep for such a dumb, idiotic and foolish movie. Even Allu Arjun fans should avoid this movie. If you really feel compelled to watch the movie, at least watch when you are feeling terribly sleepy. Maybe the movie will not hurt that much.

Average movie
wwwrajatrawat18 June 2020
It is another average movie with not great story. Only thing which is saving this movie is stylish star allu arjun and brahmandam comedy.
Rakul preet role in a film is very small and she doesn't get much screentime and even catherine gets more screentime and she does well with comparing to rakulpreet.
Overall movie is only for allu arjun's fans like me.
Sarrainodu Review: Thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable action packed ride!
Achyut_Prashast_Singh24 September 2017
Movie: Sarrainodu (UA)
Rating: 4.5/5
Apart from BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, SARRAINODU is the most awaited Hindi dubbed film of the year. And as a coincidence, both these are Telugu language action films and are excellent as well. Allu Arjun, who's known for his stylish dance moves and jaw-dropping action, comes with SARRAINODU, a stylish action entertainer which has a perfect blend of masala entertainment.
The story is quite an interesting one, but it's the screenplay which holds all the proceedings together. The execution is another major thing which works for the film. It's true that many reviews for the Telugu version have criticized the film, but the film has made waves in Northern parts of India and many neighbouring countries. People here have enjoyed the film thoroughly, making it the highest viewed Hindi dubbed film on YouTube till date.
Allu Arjun is another major reason to watch the film. He's in his top form, and redefines style with his solid looks and performance. He surprisingly shows varied emotions in many scenes: something he has not done in many of his previous films. The heroines Catherine Tresa and Rakul Preet have a lot of to in the film, but in the end it's AA saving the day. Aadhi Pinisetty as the Villain is impressive and is menacing at times. The role suits him extremely well. Rest of the cast does its job well, especially Srikanth: his bonding with AA is heartwarming. V. Jayaprakash delivers a solid performance in the climax.
The action is the major as well as the biggest highlight of the film. It's solid and jaw-dropping as is in most of the AA movies. The comedy by Brahmanandam is really hilarious. The music is good, but you don't get to see it the Hindi version. The cinematography, VFX and visuals are top-notch. The emotional scenes have been handled very well, as are many humorous sequences.
Another thing worth praise is the Hindi dubbing: the artist who has dubbed for AA has an amazing voice and suits AA, eventually making you think it's his original voice. The production values of the film are praiseworthy.
SARRAINODU is a mass action entertainer that has already received a great response from its audiences. Do watch and enjoy it, as the film shows that mass entertainers will never be out of fashion if executed well, like most South Indian films including this film too.

Delightfully insane style over substance
PKazee22 April 2016
The English subtitling for this Tollywood effort is rough, and much of the humor doesn't fully translate, but director Boyapati Srinu and "Stylish Star" Allu Arjun (aka "Bunny") succeed in transcending the language barrier with their waaaay over-the-top action scenes, and some infectiously fun - hip-hop influenced - dance sequences. Music is by SS Thaman, with choreography by Bollywood's Bosco, and it impresses and/or inspires giggles in equal measure.
The first half of this fully ridiculous ride is the strongest by far, highlighted by a nasty fight scene on skates at a roller park, and ultimately, with a show stopping massacre at the ill-fated marriage ceremony that concludes Act 1. Sadly, topping this visual mayhem would be next to impossible, which leaves the 2nd Act as a bit of let down.
Love interest for our impossibly unstoppable fighting superhero is provided - during most of the 1st Act - by Catherine Tresa, and - in the 2nd - by the very alluring and talented Rakul Preet Singh, easily the best of all of the actors in this film (and a fella's best reason for sticking around past intermission).

This kind of Movies must not be passed in the censor
sarathchandra963 June 2016
Even when some one sits an entire night and wants to write some illogical scenes for a Surrealistic plot , it would have been better than this movie .
Even in the days of people encouraging some really good stories , i don't know why these movies are becoming Huge hits , Its time for the audience to strongly discourage watching this kind of mediocre movies , if there was a scale of 1-10 for the movie's story , i would give it a -145
when asked about what is genre of this movie , the director would say it is a blend of Action , Comedy , War, Politics , Sentiment ,Mass , OOORA MASS.
still cant figure out how did Sentiment become a Genre in Telugu films

If you are a drama lover then it's not for you and you are finding logic in a action movie?? Oh now come on.Hollywood can cross the limit but when it comes to our country or our neighbor country maybe it's your duty to find the wrong step...
Way too over-rated...

SARRAINODU... Another SGS, LOL!
vrklanka22 April 2016
As an ardent fan of movies, watching films like these makes me sad! Very sad!! Moreover, I don't even had a respite after the movie as yesterday was Hanuman Jayanthi and a dry day! tongue emoticon A ruthless villain who grabs innocent poor villagers lands and kills everyone who crosses his path ( I know you are already yawning!)... A hero who doesn't like anyone breaking the law except him, confronts the villain and will not fight it out in the first scene because, the cinema length should be at least 150 mins.. A heroine, who is a damsel in distress being rescued by our hero and a romance follows... A second fiddle, who is there to showcase her curves and to fill in 2 songs... A comedian who tries to make you laugh but fails and makes you feel so sorry for him...
On the top of all, cheap narration by the director which can only be enjoyed by illiterates!
I bet you can't even sit through this movie...
There is an English movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind", a Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet starrer. The basic plot is to erase the memories of each other when their relationship is not going good. Yday, while coming out of theatre I wished we had that technology. Because that way, I can erase "Boyapati Sreenu", "Sarrainodu" and many such films from my memory. I felt happy for the thought but then it suddenly struck me.. If i forget these people and films and after the process of deleting, while going home if i see the poster of Sarrainodu I may go back to see the movie? That gave me chills my friends!

horrible terrible silly stupid childish immature movie script
prashanth32514 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
If there was anything less than 0 I would have used it. The director Boyapati Srinu imagines some kind of violent society in movies that does not exist in real world. Lamest movie I have ever seen. What a waste of resources. A person with such lame thinking is not qualified for writing scripts and should not be allowed to make movies. Awful songs. Worst Editing. Terrible actions sequences.

Might be the worst movie for this year
wowmainwow10 May 2016
If there were an option to choose 0, would have gladly.
Likely, the worst movie to come out of Telugu industry so far this year. (apart from SGS, which I have luckily escaped.....!) Absolutely mindless plot, poor narration, poor screenplay, crap editing mixed with mediocre casting,insane dialogues and unrealistic heroism make this movie your worst nightmare (unless u are into nightmares, that's a different story). Its mind boggling how someone like Boyapati Srinu, with his style of movie-making (more like mediocre-making) managed to convince AA and his shrewd dad, AA, into making this movie. This should have never made it onto the sets.
This movie clearly reminds us again how steep the divide between Tollywood and its contemporaries, Bollywood and Kollywood really is these days.

Best Commercial Entertainer
saru202017 March 2018
Fight sequences were just top notch. This movie could be easily called as one of the top 10 commercial films of all time.
The rapport build-up b/w the pro/anto-gonist was immeasurable, the best that I've ever seen in any film.
Climax was just the ultimate.
Avg Movie but u can watch it once
chathersingh22 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Fights are not realistic at least they are have stopped doing that slow motion things in fights in the movie over all in the movie Few songs and Intervel Fight is worth watchable., There is no change in the screenplay which went awry in the first half of the first half itself and and gained momentum in the latter half of first half and go into its regular awry way in second half. This movie is a oora mass commercial entertainer from Boyapati Sreenu with Allu Arjun which has its pros and cons stuffed together. Below average second half and it's last 30 mins, mediocre screenplay are spoilers of the movie. overall not a good movie but has few songs and a fight to watch. thats it
Superhit

Sarrainodu review: An action-packed mass feast
tokyorevengerstokyo23 July 2023
Sarrainodu is an action packed feast for mass action lovers in Indian cinema. It has the ingredients of a massy action entertainer expected for a OTT-fun entertainer. Allu Arjun and well executed action blocks by Ram-Lakshman are the highlights of the film. Story is 80s old and predictable, Rakul Preet Singh's character is a weepy character and a drawback while Aadhi Pinishetty is the highlight point as a menacing antagonist. Boyapati Srinu has done a good job with Arjun and Aadhi's performances, action blocks and S. Thaman's background score, but the songs, story and comedy were not good.
Conclusion: A mass action feast for fans and action lovers. Watch it on SUN NXT.

Illogical, senseless, idiotic movie ever!
anthonypille7 August 2020
Even the dumbest people on the planet cannot film such mindless, pig ignorant movie. The director would have been high on cheap quality weed throughout the making. Even the super heroes couldn't do the stuff the lead role of this movie does. Because of these hypocrites Tollywood is losing it's popularity. That one star is for Aadhi though, the only reason it qualifies for a one time watch!
Funny
vaidyalikhitha11 April 2019
Rakul running for 4 days without eating is toooo funny allu arjun is not just a hero he is a superhero he hits and kills many rowdies but yet there is no single scratch on his body Catherine role is annoying rakul character is disturbing and irritating worst story revolving around just rakul and hero is a saviour for her director boyapati have to use common sense This is worst movie only songs are good
