Mahesh Khaleja - Telugu Movie Review

In "Mahesh Khaleja", director Trivikram tries to broadcast the mystic star's box-office appeal with a medley of multi-film plots (from Dev Anand's "Guide" to "Athadu" again). He is good at weaving romance with violence and almost succeeds unless you expect a lifetime of entertainment in one movie - he gets unprecedented output from Mahesh who excels in all emotions - he dominates Sunil, Brahmanandam and Ali in comedy and sometimes over-does. But he looks more leaner, fitter and watchable than Anushka who fails to sizzle. Trivikram's dialogues are turning more censorable aned less sensible. But as long as he makes watchable films like this, he will draw audiences. Mani's music is average.
