Massy and Entertaining - itsbymayank

[mayanklouteriya · 6/10 · 5 October 2022]

I was thinking not to compare anything with the original movie but i have to...

All who have watched LUCIFER will feel bit low, not exciting while watching the same scenes. If the Movie have come after 6-7 years or a decade then maybe it'll be exciting to watch.

But Performance of Megastar is lovable.

And Because of the BGM the Scenes are enjoyable.

All Characters did best.

I've watched LUCIFER before and the time I was watching GODFATHER, it was getting predictive.

Ya Just Because I forget some twist of the movie I enjoyed the movie.

I Can Say LUCIFER was Far Better But this is Enjoyable, well Directed movie too. Why I am Saying LUCIFER is far better just cause Makers missed the Essence of the a movie and put more Effort on making it too massy.

Political Scenes are Good but Mohanlal's Way of Doing Acting has Something Different.

I loved Megastar Chiranjeevi Work. Well nicely Performed.

Nicely written and Presented.

Salman Khan's is Massy.

Don't expect much just watch you'll enjoy.

It's A worth Watch Entertainer.

Review OF MEGASTAR'S CHIRANJEEVI'S GODFATHER.

• itsbymayank Mayank Louteriya.

A feast for Megastars' fans.

[chand-suhas · 6/10 · 5 October 2022]

Mohan Raja's commercial outing for Megastar Chiranjeevi aided by Megastar Salman Khan is a thorough entertainer. The political drama tweaked to appeal to Telugu audience has commendable writing to suit Megastar's persona. Brahma played by Chiranjeevi, is the protector of PKR's political party as well as family. After the death of the CM, his son-in-law Jaidev becomes the prime contender for the CM post overtaking the Home Minister (Murali Sharma). The only one standing tall stopping him is Brahma. Utilizing the family feud between Brahma & Satya Priya (Nayanthara), daughter of PKR along with the corrupt party members, more hurdles is thrown at Brahma. How he overcomes all the hurdles and protects both the family as well as political party is rest of the story.

The first half is neat with enough clapworthy scenes and the best thing about them is how subtly these scenes are executed. After establishing the backstory to Brahma and PKR, the story focuses on the clash between Jaidev and Brahma. The character of Jaidev doesn't have much surprises as it is painted grey from the word go but Satyadev brought this character alive. The pace is good and with a pre-interval superbly execute scene followed by entry of another Megastar, it ends on a high note.

The second half however takes the easy route and resorts to crowd pleasing tactics. With not much twists and turns, the pace does feel hampered a bit but the timely re-entry of Masoom Bhai (Salman Khan) clarifies on the tone of rest of the film. From hereon, it is just fan frenzy stuff. Chiru gets another action scene early in the second half with the BGM from Bruce Lee being re-used and the amount of whistles I got to hear in my audi, there wasn't much to complain.

Among the performances, Chiranjeevi succeeds in delivering a restrained performance with him taking the backseat in much of the action (barring the 2 solo action scenes), the veteran aces the emotional scenes with Nayanthara. Satyadev excels as the baddie though the characterization could've had more fizz. Nayanthara does well within the scope of her character. Salman Khan adds on to the megastardom and all of his scenes are designed to please the fans only. The Chiru - Salman scenes are indeed paisa vasool and Salman getting to mouth Telugu line was icing on the cake.

I would have rated this higher if the third act didn't resort to solely rely on Salman Khan - Chiranjeevi scenes to take the story to it's climax. If one ignores this then Godfather is indeed a fun watch.

LITSTEN MOVIE IS GREAT BUT A REMAKE

[subhamsinghgaur · 5/10 · 8 October 2022]

Listen I agree without doubt that it's a great movie but it's a remake do you know. Currently south industry will make anything we will watch because we have a mentality that Bollywood is always making a remake. I accept that Bollywood has let us really down but i don't think that the praise this movie is getting is correct.it is over praised. WE SHOUL ALSO SEE THAT THE MOVIE HAS DONE GREAT JOB IN INCREASING MORE MASALA. THAT IS GOOD THE ACTING IS AWESOME. CAST FIT THIER ROLE. BUT I THINK THE MOVIE NEEDS TO WATCH TWO TIMES TO UNDERSTAND EVERY PINT CLEARLY. That's why I give 3 star but audience pls judge everyone equally.

What a Trash Original is always original

[arjuncshekartheofficial · 1/10 · 26 October 2022]

Chiranjeevi was once a megastar is now became notorious for destroying the originality of the script. First he destroyed acharya and now this one. Original movie which was shot in Malayalam by Prithviraj Sukumaran was a cult classic has been destroyed by this 67 year old moron. And cringiest acting made by Salman Khan decelarated the movie's pace. Ayya Chiranjeevi garu meeru cinema maanesi intlo koorchunte manchidi, meeku vayassaindhi kaabatti meeku manavallu unte vaalaki katha cheppandi. Adhi vadalesi meeku ee vayasulo cinema pichchi emtandi. Asalu meeru rajakiyalo dookina taruvaatha meeru acting marichipoyaaru.

As a non southindian film watcher this remake is utterwaste one

[andrinjohn · 1/10 · 10 October 2022]

I don't know why they changed very good original script changed so much and all character depth we seen in original version completely gone, they changed old chirufilm and didn't give good impact ,utterly waste in all side of the movie compared to original version only one character is justified in this film was ,the character played Vivek Oberoi did in original version ...that actor is good 👍👍 . VFX was very poor like cartoonish bomb blast , bike fires missile at a container lorry scene was very illlogical move from the film maker..Personallyy i don't recommend this movie ..sorry chiru sir ,sorry sallu bhai.

S..L..O......M..O..

[best-review · 5 October 2022]

The story features good content and characters.

However, the screenplay suffers from being excessively slow-paced and lacking excitement.

Both the script and direction fail to match the quality of the original version.

Chiranjeevi is suitable for the role and delivers a commendable performance in many scenes, although some are not handled as effectively.

It would be unfair to compare Chiranjeevi to Mohanlal from the original film.

Sathya Dev also performs well in his role, although not as brilliantly as Vivek Oberoi.

Nayanthara follows her usual pattern of acting, similar to her previous films like "Tulasi," "Viswasam," and "Jayasimha." There's nothing new in her portrayal.

The on-screen pairing of Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara as brother and sister appears odd.

Salman Khan's role feels wasted, or rather, a good role is wasted on Salman.

The background score lifted from Vikram Veda is funny.

The cinematography is well-executed.

Editing seems to focus excessively on slow-motion sequences.

This film is not worth watching in theaters. It would be better to wait for its release on an OTT platform, especially if you haven't seen the original "Lucifer."

A bloated but fun remake of the original Malayalam classic, with Chiranjeevi oozing mass and gravitas

[nidhunmoviebuff · 7/10 · 6 October 2022]

When Prithviraj, the original director behind the hit Malayalam film "Lucifer" (2019), on which Godfather is based, was asked who he would pick from Tollywood to play the main character essayed by Mohanlal in the original, he was quick to point to Chiranjeevi. Perhaps no other actor has brought to screen larger-than-life massy heroes on screen than the legendary superstar, with mega-blockbusters like "Mutha Mestri (1993)" and "Indra (2002)" still revered by audiences. In that respect, Ram Charan pulled off a major coup in acquiring the remake rights of Lucifer, understanding that the role is tailor-made to play to his father's strengths.

The megastar plays "Brahma" an astute political operator and heir-apparent to the Chief Minister who passes away abrupts, leaving behind a power vacuum and a slew of political opportunists who want to make hay while the sun shines. The CM's son-in-law Jai (Satyadev) as well as the Home Minister, Verma (Murali Sharma) lead a faction that will stop at nothing to ensure Brahma doesn't grab power and the ensuing political machinations, treachery and violence form the rest of the story. Director Mohan Raja builds on the original source material rather than copying it frame by frame, delivering more mass elevation sequences suitable for the superstar he had at his disposal

The Performances

Given better writing and a more well-rounded character to essay, Chiranjeevi makes a rollicking comeback to the mass hero role, oozing all the gravitas and panache that was missing in misadventures like "Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019)" and "Acharya (2022)". Satyadev and Murali Sharma excel in their supporting roles while Nayantara shines in a nuanced, restrained performance as the beleaguered, troubled daughter of the CM. Salman Khan's cameo, however, sticks out like a sore thumb, delivering some of the most inept, laughably over-the-top action sequences in the film that spoil the intricate mind games that had made the film highly enjoyable up until that point.

Despite a final act laden with mind-bogglingly stupid and inane action sequences, Chiranjeevi's swag and style pull through the mayhem and ensure you leave the theatre hall satisfied. It is especially rewarding to see the megastar in his true element and with Ram Charan and the Konidela Production Company having secured the rights for other Malayalam hits like "Driving License (2019)" and reportedly even the magnum-opus "Bheeshma Parvam (2022)", there will be more opportunities down the line for the superstar to shine, backed up by strong writing. "Godfather" is a fairly enjoyable watch in theatres, and will be a true treat for Chiranjeevi fans.

Worst remake. Chiranjeevi should stop doing remakes.

[raghavak-84944 · 1/10 · 20 November 2022]

I have seen Lucifer in Malayalam with subtitles and feel of the movie always connects to the hero's characterisation.

God Father clearly missed this and just focused on adding unnecessary masala elements with unconvincing hero characterisation.

Chiranjeevi sir should stop doing these remakes and should give chance to the young directors the way Kamal Hassan done with Vikram.

Audience taste has been changed and chiranjeevis mindset stuck 10 years back when he joined politics. Please update.

Start giving chances to new director's and stop involving in scripts of the successful directors like koratala shiva.

A VISUAL FEAST,...MEGA SAGA....

[sksksk-64691 · 10/10 · 6 October 2022]

JUST RACZ... VISUAL FEAST.. Awesome to see Graceful Megastar in his ultimate performance...

I watched Mohanlal performance.... But Mega star is Mega Chiranjeevi... wonderful stealing show by him... Costumes, Digloues, BGM name anything it is there and apt to make you feel a spectacular show...

Chiru mesmerized with his graceful Acting in each and everything...what a fights.... Songs particularly Naja Bhaja Jajara.... Is remarkable and last kick with Maar maar takkar maara.... excellent

Go and watch....you will immerse in movie... Very good performed by satya dev,,murali Krishna sharma.. Blockbuster..

Almost a Great Remake with bad Climax

[DurgaVikasMovies · 7/10 · 6 October 2022]

BOSS IS BACK 💥 The Presence of BOSS was Awesome 😎 I have seen the original movie Lucifer more than twice , so it was a Good remake but because of the Climax and End Credit Song it became a decent movie.

Pros: BOSS Acting Thaman anna BGM Story-telling was good for those who didn't watch Lucifer

Cons: Climax Salman Bhai's illogical Action sequences End Credit Song Yes Chiranjeevi's action sequences are also illogical but Salman Bhai's was the worst.

If you didn't see the Original movie, it would be a great watch for those who are fans of the original movie it would be decent and Climax would be bad.

Worst movie in a Decade

[anvesh-26116 · 1/10 · 9 October 2022]

Mainly this whole part belongs to Mohanlal himself (Lucifer), with this movie it's like he slammed a giant sword into a mountain/ground with his acting skills. But i see that a Telugu moderate actor chiranjeevi took hold of this Godfather movie as a remake and thought that he would handle it well more than legendary Mohanlal did, I've seen the movie but i don't see chiranjeevi dominated the movie, it's far worse than expected he failed doing it. Even nayanathara performance is worse,i don't see any prodigy here because the acting levels of everyone are very low and the lead actor has failed to give his best. Original is better to watch again.

Megastar is back

[pavanlasya-83301 · 10/10 · 5 October 2022]

From start to end everything is engaging , Real goosebumps scenes through out the movie, Some scenes will make you shout. If you are a fan of megastar chiranjeevi you will love it like hell, Satyadev did his best. EVELVATION SCENES are mail plus to the movie . Don't miss this movie in theaters you will enjoy from start to end. Megastar chiranjeevi presence is the main highlight his looks are top notch. Music my great musician Thaman is the best in his carrier. Overall the best ever experience you will get by watching this film. The fight scene and the song with it is awesome. Everyone did their part.

The Comeback Movie Mega Star Chiranjeevi Wanted.

[schiru-34679 · 7/10 · 7 October 2022]

The begining part of the movie is great and the later half of the movie is completely average.

And Yes, Movie does have a few flaws.

If the later part of the movie was better then this movie would deserve a descent 8 to 9 rating.

Mega Star Chiranjeevi Screen Presence Is A Feast To Eyes, You will want to see more of him.

Nayanatara is Good in her role too.

Satya Dev Was Good As Always.

Thaman BGM Is also quite good.

The scenes which involved Salman Khan were a bit unrealistic and over the top cringe material. ( Cameos Are Dumb )

I was worried about the VFX but they did a good job keeping it minimal.

I Knew what the director Mohan Raja could have done with the Lucifer movie and he delievered it way better and overall a good remake from him.

Waiting for Thani Oruvan 2.

Worst Remake of a classic hit

[augusthy · 1/10 · 23 October 2022]

This movie in my opinion is one of the worst remakes that I have ever watched. The performance of chiranjeevi was very poor compared to Mr Mohanlal who played the same role in the orginal movie Lucifer. Emotional scene felt funny to me. Roles of Vivek obroi, Manju warrier, Tovino Thomas... were far better than the remake version. It felt like the actors of the remake version haven't watched the orginal version Lucifer before acting in this movie. The direction felt annoying. The camio apprance of Salman khan was also not pleasing. Overall it felt like a bad experience for me and I wouldn't recommend you to watch this movie. Better try watching the Lucifer.

What a bore!!

[prasun_dubey · 1/10 · 6 October 2022]

This is a film where the cinematic art dies. "Made for the masses" cannot be an excuse for releasing such a bad piece of work. About a good 30 minutes of the movie is reserved for people walking in slow motion. Ever present, deafening background music, two ugly songs, lack of a solid storyline make the film unbearable. Horrible lyrics and dance in the two songs! At times, the fact that the director saw the preview of the shots and said okay for certain takes to be included in the cut, surprises me.

Messiah like unrealistic depiction of the lead is mostly to pander the fan base and get whistles in the the theatres.

Sorry, we can't settle with this film being a hit or anything close to it.

I recommend skipping this for good.

Is there a more lower word then pathetic?

[rehmankhilji · 1/10 · 21 November 2022]

One has to be very careful while reviewing these south movies.

A. Their tolerance level is very minimum regarding their superstars B. The level is further lower when it comes to mega stars C. I have no clue what mega star is, perhaps it's that star which throughout the movie just stands in one place, hardly moves a leg and do everything in it.

Spoiler alert, the mega star is having no song no dance number in it, wait there is one pathetic one in the end but that doesn't count, he is having no love no girl in the movie, there you go i just spoiled the biggest bore movie of your life. Trust me you will hate me less then the watching the movie.

The movie has nothing to do with the title Godfather, it should be more like "The repeated Cr@p you have been watching again and again, here is it again.

Adding insult to injury special appearance from Salman Khan who is more overboard then the entire movie itself. Come on, don't you guys never read? Don't you people watch the previews of the horrible cinema you make.

Chiranjeevi will be a star in his wood, but this is just a horrible movie.

Save your soul from this one.

P. S. The item number song Warina Hussain, have some shame, if your really wanna wear that on those thighs and shake like that, you really need a bang on the head.

Godfather- a massy ride of elevations

[surajgorti · 6/10 · 6 October 2022]

Godfather is a 2022 film starring, Chiranjeevi, Nayanathara, Satyadev and Salman khan in the form of cameo. Firstly, this is an adaption a 2019 Malayalam movie(Lucifer). It's the highest grosser of the mollywood industry till date. Director Mohan raja has presented this flick(Godfather)in such a way where masses can relate to the original and yet enjoy the Mega star version.

Overview Jay (Satyadev) bassically the antagonist, wants to become the next Chief Minister when the state's Chief Minister PKR seen dead. Being the son-in -law of the ex CM, he starts playing mind games with the party members and tries to manipulate them for the votes and majority.

Bramha(Chiranjeevi) aka Godfather, the son of ex CM , interferes in between Jay's plans. Having huge influence and background , what plans does Bramha makes to stop Jay from being CM and creating menace in the state, needs to be watched.

Keeping the term 'politics' a sub plot, who and what Bramha is, was well showcased and gave the best elevations to the man of masses 'Mega Star' Chiranjeevi.

Director Mohan Raja managed well to not to copy paste the exact. His screenplay saved the film from the trolls. The changes made were impressive and well suited to the frame. The fights and few other sequences were although seemed little dramatic/over the top.

S. Thaman's songs were not upto the mark and therefore feels outdated. But the bgm was somewhat exciting. Production values were lit except some vfx scenes.

Talking about the performances Mega Star Chiranjeevi rocked the role and maintained the same emotion throughout the movie. Having said the story, this is the first time seeing Chiranjeevi in such a way where we can't expect comedy/ romance from him , but just action and elevations. Few dialogues are even relatable with his real life experiences.

Nayanathara as the ex CM's daughter was seen powerful.

All praises to Satyadev for his villainism. His action can never be judged and can never be recreated by others. He was fierce. The same character played by Vivek Oberoi in the original version gives the same impact yet different style.

And Salman Khan, his screen presence made people scream, masoom bhai seen as Bramha's brother from another mother who's ready to help him in tough times.

Other characters supported did well.

Positives As written above Action sequences and Star cast.

Direction and Screenplay Impressive writing Elevations Dialogues Few funny scenes added

Negatives Little similar to the original, can be said the negatives are Drag Songs Climax( was abrupt ) Characterisation of the lead was left unfinished.

The main elements from the movie Lucifer were neglected.

Verdict Defeating the losing streak, Mega Star Chiru bounced back with Godfather and justified the original version. Salman Khan's cameo can be said as the crowd puller.

Overall the movie remains overwhelming.

Couldn't make it upto the mark of Lucifer

[aashmailbox · 2/10 · 24 October 2022]

If you have seen the original movie Lucifer then you can compare that suspense level is very high in Lucifer compared to Godfather.

Poster and trailer already reveled that there is some relation between Chiranjeevi and Salmaan and while watching the movie you can guess there is some relation.

Salmaan's role is overexaggerated in the movie and the fight seens are overextended which shifts the audiance attendance to this side character.

Also the plotting of songs are not appropriate and seems like they are trying to fit in the songs for no reason.

Over all It is not worth watching. But the original movie Lucifer deserves a watch.

God father , boss is back with bang

[saranyasharma · 10/10 · 5 October 2022]

Excellent movie , full action packed commercial Pure goosebumps , no lag , present political issues shown very well , the main pillar of the movie is chiranjeevi his swag and some closeup shots are enough to say he is the king of indian cinema , the another pillar is music director bgms,songs 🔥🔥very plus for this movie , salmankhan,satyadev ,nayanathara,purijaganadh excellent cast ,production values also superb, its more better than original ,the director handled every character in the movie was very superb , overall I enjoyed this movie , pls watch this movie only in theatres , god father ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5.

Good and enjoyable

[n-45408-86528 · 7/10 · 8 October 2022]

The movie was great. If you already watched lucifer then you might feel bored but if you are watching for the first time you will definitely enjoy it. BGM was good. After the entry of Salman movie goes high. Fights of salman would have been made natural. Salman Khan's acting was not good. Others performed well.

SatyaDev gave his best. He acted really well. His playtime in the movie is more.

Nayanatara's role would have been shooted well.

Missed the grace in the dance if chiranjeevi.

He showed his total acting skills.

Expected the role of Lucas would be very powerful. But he is just like a small character.

All the actors performed well. Fight sequences of chiru was made with perfection. Only minus point is the salman khan. The movie would be better if he is not there.

Pathetic remake of an awesome script

[mailkarthy · 1/10 · 6 October 2022]

When chiranjeevi said he had made the script more engaging, it was clear that the originality was destroyed. After watching the movie it was very clear that it is another Destruction by tollywood of an awesome script. Tollywood must stop remake disasters and stick to overhyped masala dumb movies. And we can't entirely blame the directors for the overhyped masalas as it is encouraged by immature audiance. Really this movie destroyed the original thrilling experience and slow burning blast of real Lucifer. For whom watched Lucifer, definitely stay out of this movie as Godfather will ruin the awesome memories of Lucifer.

MEGASTAR CHIRANJEEVI RAMPAGE 🤙

[thpyazmass · 10/10 · 5 October 2022]

worst movie ever

[kkpatnala · 2/10 · 20 November 2022]

I have dared to watch the movie and got a lingering headache. Lucifer is 1000 times more fine movie than this cheap remake. If the director has just copied as is then it would've been better but it was worst after changing the story and background music is like a comedy tunes. Salman khan is the worst riding the bike as a one man army. I would suggest chiranjeevi to take a nap and rest, he looks like his rival mohan babu. Movies like Lucifer and Ayyappanum Koshiyum are masterpieces and tollywood is ruining them with remakes and trying to show the super hero roles for the main characters but forgetting that those characters are perfect as is and the content should not be altered. Learn from hollywood which does remake of international movies without spoiling the content (example : the man called ove is being remake by Tom Hanks with the name the man called otto). Learn from them and don't just blindly go with fan approval.

Worst than a migraine!

[owaisk-83792 · 1/10 · 19 November 2022]

Worst movie I have watched in 2022. Same old Telugu movies where the hero is worshipped more than a god. Cheerinjeevi knows everything. The villain never wins or even trouble with his plans. Same old, a don but a messiah for poor ppl. Salman is the same again. No emotions, no characterisation. These actors' time is over. They entertained us for 30 years now they should gracefully take retirement and not torture us. As it has been happening in Telugu movies. Woman are regressive and depends on the male lead for everything. Telugu movies have cheap item songs that have sleazy outfits and steps.👎
