"Simha" Movie Review

Simha could be Balakrishna's first hit in seven years and may unleash a frenzyof sorts amongst his fans. But the  plot is not new, and in sticking to the story of hero-his-heroic father (you get the idea), director Boyapati Seenu lets loose fifth-degree violence and relishes, and even justifies it - Sumos blasting mid-air, trains smashing humans, and axes dripping  in blood. No wonder Sumos are hardly seen on roads and railways cross their line but the axe-effect continues to plague Tollywood. Thats because fans don't insist on heads (of such heroes) to roll. Celebrate, if you are a Balayya fan. Otherwise, you haven't lost anything, if you decide to skip it. But Balakrishna emotes well especially the Senior's role and he has a mouthful of dialogues which is music to fans'  ears . Nayanatara, Sneha and Namitha  add glamour and oomph.
