One Time Watch with friends.
nsk-9490821 October 2023
"Tiger Nageswara Rao" is an average movie that, while benefiting from Ravi Teja's perfect fit for the titular role, has both strengths and weaknesses. The VFX, although good, could have been better, and there's no need for a heroine in the first half. However, the action sequences are a standout feature, offering excellence on screen. Director Vamsee's third attempt shows promise, even though his first two films didn't hit the mark. The BGM is good, but the songs are lackluster and boring. The second half of the movie loses momentum, making the 3-hour-plus runtime feel excessive. Some supporting characters lack the necessary connection with the audience. "Tiger Nageswara Rao" is watchable but not suitable for kids due to the explicit fight scenes and some objectionable content. In one word, it's a one-time watch movie with friends, deserving a 7/10 rating.

A LAZY EFFORT...!!!
PANDIAN12062121 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First thing that appeals is the violence thats been overcooked & its too BLOODY brutal to digest... Ravi teja carries the whole movie on his shoulder but the director let down his character with poor writing where he his potrayed as womanizer and beheads a lot of people including his father...Also the younges version of hero seems to be poor and fake... The entry of social reformer(widow) & mouli(inspector) had been forcefully added serves no reason to the plot...The opening train robbery sequence seems to be bizzare with its poor vfx work.... The major blunder is the pm officer burglary scene that looks childish amid tight security...Overall watch the movie onto ur own risk.

My first Ravi Teja movie
cableanna13 November 2023
1st half was a really uncomfortable watch for me due to blatant objectification, sexualization and bad portrayal of female characters. 1st half paints Nagi as very unlikeable. Even with the first heroine and how her story ends has 0 emotional connect. VFX is video game level and not in a good way but I appreciate the ambition of the train sequence. I am not sure why would anyone enjoy the 1st half.

The 2nd half redeems the film majorly so contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed 2nd half much more and it's bloody violent. Ravi Teja and Jisshu Sengupta deliver good performances. There is an insane misdirect in the 1st half between the two characters which is revealed in the 2nd half which shocked me. WTF. That completely changes how you view Nagi!

Jisshu Sengupta plays a nasty, disgusting character brilliantly. A vile man you'll love to hate.

In the 2nd half, Nagi is likeable, his real motivations are revealed, the characterization of the lead character is vastly improved and you are able to root for the lead character and in his cause by the end.

I love that they show something dramatic and immediately the film shows you the events that led to that dramatic moment. And it keeps happening. Like mini-flashbacks. When I say this film is violent, it bloody is. There is so much gore. Some of it can be really disturbing for family audience like the undressing of a woman for humiliation.

But the writing, story, characterizations, motivations, reveals, twists are much stronger in the 2nd half and it's all really great. I say it's worth it if you can tolerate the first hour. People might say its like Pushpa, KGF but for me, it was like Raees, haha, because Nagi is also a messiah for his people. Just on surface level. But it is a very different movie.

Nagi even manages to get to the PM for his cause to get noticed. Go for it. It's a well-made action film with a strong and emotional climax. I love that the prostitute kills the guy after he betrays her. Things like this redeem the first half and the film ends up with a very satisfying conclusion to the saga of Tiger Nageshwara Rao.

Masala entertainer
gangutm23 November 2023
Great movie.

The hero Mr. Ravi Teja has put his all efforts to make the film successful. Great efforts my Mr. Ravi Teja and perfect action which suits the character, There is no scene in which the hero's performance has exceeded the limits or lower the limits. In each and every scene the performance is upto the expectations of the audience.

Coming to the Direction, Mr. Vamsee has made a good job selecting Mr. Ravi Teja as the hero of the movie. And this is one of the film which has been taken forward in the box office due to the direction. It is not at all an easy job to direct a film without even leaving a hint for the audience what is going to happen in the second half.

Perfect timing for fights and dialogues.

The way the director portray the hero in the first half and the second half is fully different for the same story.

Super climax. Ki

Finally the movie was amazing and a good story oriented film.

Over-Masala is unsavoury
shasingh-4965524 October 2023
Its a terrible terrible film.

It has too much movie-masala, its unrealistic, misogynistic, sadistic and poorly written.

You cant just kill ppl just because you have a valid cause of revenge.

There needs to be a minimum level of comprehensible reasoning for all over-action that occurs in any MOVIE.for this movie the directors left the logic at home and went on to make this movie.

This kind of movies needs to stop , they somehow fill the Man with a wrong impression that toxic masculinity is all they need to be a Hero( our society has enough of it), that the women are objects that can be claimed.i.

It's a terrible film
rohitreviews24 October 2023
I wonder how the writers, director even think this far to drag, convolute film on if a real character it is. Maturity isn't in saying film of real life character in epic way, its in presenting with genuine facts with realism so deeply researches which gives the world view of how the character goes through even when nothing major crime being shown on screen. But in this there is no emotional or empathy towards main or any character. Its quite disappointing film. Be it acting, music, action, direction, songs, anything you take, it fails miserably. Telugu film industry is far far miles away from good films if they pursue this path..

Tiger ROARED loudly.
singareddysandeep20 October 2023
Amazing direction and lighting. The tone of the movie is outstanding. Ravi Anna did his best as usual. Though the length of the movie is around 3 hours, but it didn't feel like it's lengthy. Everyone must watch this. Kudos to the entire team for giving an extraordinary movie. There is no comedy in the movie. No unnecessary cringe scenes. Songs were good too. Fights were fantastic. Screenplay is very much engaging. The introduction scene was amazing. Ravi Anna's get up was on point. The makeover of his character to tiger Nageshwar Rao was next level. Over all it was an amazing experience. Must watch.

FYI this A rated movie not UA
Movie is weak, poor storytelling. No thorough research on lives of tribal people of Stuartpuram. How British restricted them to go to forest, used them as forced labour in mining and construction activities. How missionaries converted them for few sack of rice. Trust me no mention at all. Only focus on one character, how he reached inside PM office. Local MLA and police were only villain. 4 stars only and only for Ravi Teja. Rest like usual south cinema. Girls chasing after hero, few sidekicks praising their hero. Few unbelievable and unreasonable villains. One man kicking ass of 100s of people. Also, our hero in this movie is owner of multiple brothrals, and talks dirty with random girls on streets and trains. I just don't know how this movie was UA. Please don't take children to this movie. And remember half truth is worse than a complete lie. I just don't believe, this movie came from Agarwal Arts production, which gave us The Kashmir Files and Karthikeya 2.

Tiger not at all roared
subhanimdtslm23 October 2023
Movie is very lengthy first of all and the music is very disturbing not at all matched with movie. Elevetions not worked. Director maybe inspired by KGF, he wants to recreate this like kgf but not worked. Raviteja in some looks he doesn't match except he did a great job. Biggest minus is music. I think anupam kher sir may not be included for this type of role, there is big scenes for him. Najar role will remember you in some movies of Telugu. Nupor sanon is did her best in her short role but the way director ended her role is not appropriate.lot of scenes are waste in screen time. Totally movie is a directors big flaw and music directors noise that make audience irritating.

Misfire
best-review20 October 2023
The storyline is grounded in a true character and real-life events, yet it incorporates numerous implausible elements. The narrative, at times, feels uninspiring and monotonous. The direction appears contrived and lacks depth. Everything on screen lacks authenticity.

The locations, sets, costumes, and makeup all come across as budget-conscious. Cinematography is subpar, with unsatisfactory color grading and an excessive brown tint that detracts from the viewing experience. It gives the impression of a low-quality television program.

The action choreography is commendable, and the visual effects are passable. The music, however, falls short of expectations.

Ravi Teja delivers an exceptional performance, while the female leads offer average portrayals. Anupam Kher and rest of the supporting cast generally performs well.

I would not recommend watching this film in theaters, but it might be worth a watch on an OTT platform.

Utterly Disappointing.
nikhilsaibanki29 October 2023
Tiger Nageswara Rao as a film is very badly edited, scored, directed and acted. Though there was humongous potential in the subject matter, the makers of the film decided to make it a pot boiler(that too a very badly made one). But the most autrocious part of the film has to be the writing itself. There is no clear motivation for any of the characters, they do random things for the plot to move forward, none of the emotional scenes regarding the discrimination of the people of Stuartpuram comes across as genuine but rather sticked on the story inorder to elevate the character of the protagonist. The characterisation of both of the female leads is paper thin as well.

Ravi Tejas Tiger Nageswara Rao
girikumarreddy-4617120 October 2023
Starring Ravi Teja in the lead role, the movie is set in the 1970s, during the period when Stuartpuram in Andhra Pradesh was under the sole reign of the dreaded thief Nageswara Rao.

In the film, Ravi Teja embodies the menacing persona of the infamous and unrelenting criminal hailing from Stuartpuram. The movie showcases a plethora of high-energy combat scenes, expansive universe construction, and a pulsating musical backdrop, the feast of love story is very nice, Ravi Teja dance super, Ravi Teja acting super song was very nice and background music super second of fight very good have a goosebumps finally movie is very nice.

Worst movie of the Year
SalluBhai0718 November 2023
I don't know why I hated this movie so much. The first 20 mins was only somewhat interesting part for this movie. I don't want to spoil this for anyone who is planning to watch Tiger Nageswara Rao so I am not writing much. One positive is the way the movie is taken (camera and the way movie is filmed) but rest, its not my cup of tea.

I don't really review any movies, but this movie was so bad that I felt like people need to know my frustration of wasting 2 hrs of my life. The music was not bad but didn't make this movie any better. Lacks most of goods elements which comes from a south Indian movie.

"I rather watch Sallu bhai movie than this"

Great Performance By Raviteja...
msivaiah-6004122 October 2023
Hai to all Tiger Nageswara Rao is a great film by Vamsi starring #Raviteja and other's. In the movie Raviteja given his 100% effort for the Character with his mesmerizing performance. It's a great film to watch storyline exactly showed by the director Vamsi. Coming to Robberies best performance by Raviteja and all other character artists. Good thought for Robbers to implement their robbery money will helpful to needed people. Must watch all the movie lover's by yours own opinion and you definitely satisfied with Raviteja's acting and storyline. Must watch and share your experience thanks to all movie lover's.

ULTRA CHEAP COPY OF PUSHPA
anamalli18 November 2023
Tiger roars ? Where is the tiger? This movie is inspired by Brigand "Pushpa" which was an unusual and unique success. Tried to copy the theme with a twist by getting the robber in the main character. By beheading his own father the character has lost the audience sympathy to be qualified as a hero rather than a cheap morality lacking satan. The lead actor Ravi Teja has become truly traumatic to bear, by the audience. The lead actress choice is abysmally poor. Neither she is blessed with the looks nor charm, probably she might have part financed the movie. I sincerely advice the audience to refrain from watching this movie. There is meaningless violence, violence and violence all through. Finally the censor board seems to have taken a long vacation, else how can this movie be approved by them. Killing & hurting of policemen is also a no no. What is the message conveyed by the movie to society. Encouragement of crime?

Worthless
nilmonidas-9553625 December 2023
If the movie is based on a real story or so, there has been no empathy or so with the main lead..such a below average movie..vfx is average and the plot also doesn't have any strong base or whatsoever..just because Ravi Teja is the lead has the "one star". The character is written in a too misogynistic and a worthless way..literally..slapping a women just for rejecting tge lead and the woman gets unconscious and when a police reprimend him, the lead beats him ruthlessly..wtf..the lead did wrong bruh..such a worthless-worthless-worthless movie..full zerooooo. I would only say one thing at the last that, character build up is a must, the viewer should be able to emphatise with the main lead..and the movie is into bits and pieces here and there..what a waste of money..screenplay is lullll.

Tiger Movie Review TIMES OF INDIA The Times of India, TNN, Updated: Apr 26, 2016, 05.48 PM ISTCritic's Rating: 2.5/5 Story: The story starts off with an injured Vishnu (Rahul Ravindran) being rushed to the hospital. He then reminisces about his happy-go-lucky past - how he, as a child, became friends with fellow orphan Tiger (Sundeep Kishan), how he met the love of his life Ganga (Seerat Kapoor) and how things brought him to where he is right now. The movie then cuts to the present with his friend Tiger avenging the harm inflicting on Vishnu in a case of an attempted honour killing. And of course, the movie has a happy ending with the couple being re-united by Tiger.

Movie Review:The way the screenplay goes, it seems as if Sundeep Kishan has very little to do with the story except being Rahul Ravindran's bodyguard and avenger. He does nothing except fight and release outbursts of punchline-filled dialogues. Rahul Ravindran gives his trademark performance with his standard angst and shock expressions throughout the movie; barring the few scenes when he is wooing the Seerat Kapoor. The same can be said about Seerat Kapoor; who does nothing more than what every female lead does in a mass entertainer - smile, get angry, cry and hug. Rahul woos Seerat in the stereotypical stalk-till-we-get-together style and the chemistry between the two is lost somewhere in the first 40 minutes of the film.

The saving grace of the film is the comedy. The comedians Thagubothu Ramesh, Chitram Seenu, Satya, Raghu and Fish Venkat who deliver slapstick comedy scenes that ensure laughter and some scenes with the baddies which are total rib-ticklers, (spoiler) like the scene where the henchman who is supposed to kill Rahul's character is the one who ends up donating blood to him.

The only convincing actor in the movie is perhaps Bobby Parvez, the Bollywood actor who plays Seerat Kapoor's father.

The other good thing about the movie is the intention to raise awareness on honour killing. Rest of the plot gives the audience a Déjà vu of Arya 2. The first half is a painfully long build up to the main story and the second half has nothing but fights and forced realizations. Music by SS Thaman is mediocre at best. The first song Samayya, is worth listening to. All the other songs, like Vaddura Mama and Hey Tiger are bland. Most of the background score of the movie seems heavily inspired from various dubstep tracks.

Goood movie
kavirqq19 December 2023
Best story telling. A great watch from the releases of dhussehra. Intriguing plot driven soothingly by vamsee. Run time might seem exaggerated but it's worth the content, although they reduced the runtime from day 3 onwards. Background score is very apt and I have seen many not praising that, but it's been a top notch job done by the music director. All the actors did justice to their roles. Even a 5 minute screen presence role had huge impact. It's a shame this movie have very minimal number of screens compared to that of other dhussehra releases. Few fights and action sequences will blow your mind for sure.

Ravitejas Best Movie
drnramakrishna24 October 2023
Excellent story. First half is ultimate. Went with family. Not even one minute you will get bored. Each and every scene is amazing. Back ground music is commendable. Over all nice movie. This is Ravi Tejas best movie after Kick. Really enjoyed. Enitre team has made lot of efforts. Don't listen to anyone. Watch movie in theater and i am sure you will definitely appreciate. Fighting are jawdropping. Train robbery is excellent. How tiger sacrifices his life for the poor people, will make all of us emotional. Till end movie carries emotions. There are scenes which made tears to come out. Usually my wife will never appreciates movies. After watching TNR, she appreciated it.

Awesome Movie
akashdesigner-2644919 November 2023
Transforming from bad to good person. I loved how he wanted to save his village and be a good person. He want his people to be well educated. Nageswar Rao was intelligent and has athletic skills. Movie has shown about this.

It is very difficult to write a real person story and create a movie, I know it. We will judge everything so easily, but we have to understand in perspective of writer and director.

Ravi Teja did 100% in his role. Only fews scenes are not necessary in this movie some editing is required, so all family members can watch, that is my opinion.

Movie is lengthy so people will get bored easily. Nothing more from my side. Loved the movie.

awesome movie if you just ignore the VFX and Minor things.
uzumakigo7 March 2024
Tiger Nageshwar Roy was the real hero, I really appreciate his sacrifices and salute that Hardcore Superhero. We also need movies like this. Thank you Shri Ravi Teja sir. I respect his hard work and dedication for this movie. This movie should have got the best rating on IMDB. Bollywood needs to learn some good things from this. This movie is full of emotions, action, suspense & good storyline. But people who just love vulgarity & nudity will not rate this movie. If you just ignore the VFX & some minor things like people said this is inspired by KGF so yes but it's ok, I mean, movie is only has KGF colour tone not story. At least better than Kabza.

Real movie start after interval
hityadav31 October 2023
In my personal thinking this movie is very good explanation about need of education and how that poor people of india( also in present time) struggle for education, very good story, first half of movie is like other movie of South movie action, and extra masala but after interval the real story is starting but first half is important for movie competing, otherwise it not completely masterpiece we seen it, we also need to catching some good scene from movie to over life which is based on education and how to work for our society this is need india to develop country, when we educated than no one challenge us. Thank you for this great movie.
