After tasting a disastrous flop of 'Shock' , the director Harish Shankar never stepped back , came with a nice movie titled 'Mirapakay' and got a hit.! Then again , he was even more lucky to make a movie with Pawan Kalyan and got a hit too.! But now , apart from 'Gabbar Singh' , his previous works were all screenplay based gripping thrillers. But this flick is not of that genre. Harish tried his level best to showcase Jr NTR in the youngster look and was successful in doing so. But showing some one like that isn't enough for a movie to be a hit. It needs a story and a nice screenplay too. But , I think Harish just missed that small logic and started to concentrate too much on Tiger's look and style than the movie itself , leading to a very dry and unfinished product. The major flaw I found is with the "PROPER" introduction of characters , where Samantha's name is not known till some time in First- Half before the Intermission. And nobody even knows what NTR character's name is , except for his nickname being 'Ram'.! The dances were not of NTR's Trademark style. The music was not at all an asset. And when it comes to BGM , I'd say better forget about it.! NTR maintained his energy and sense of humor all through the First-Half whereas his dark side unfolds in the next half. Samantha was as usual , gorgeous and attractive as a show-piece is. When it comes to Shruti Hassan , It was a blunder by Harish to select her for this role , not at all apt. And upon that , Shruthi giving her own voice for her character , unbearable.! Apart from the strong One-Liners and a nice First-Half , the movie turns out a not up-to-mark entertainer. And once again our Young Tiger fails to prove himself to be a 'Multiplex Hero' as well as 'A Woman's Man'. Too much of blood-shed , not at all recommended for children. Only hard- core NTR fans will like the movie.

I don't know how many people will agree but Jr.NTR can act, dance and fight better than many superstars in any language through out India. So what!! With respect to decision making about the acceptance of movies...he is one of the most terrible. Many times he pick absolute pieces of crap, Baadshah, Dammu, Shakti and Kantri for instance. And this one "Ramayya Vastavayya" is no way different!! May be NTR has got more than 10 lessons that he has to look a 'script' instead of director while committing for it.

Talking about the movie..nothing new, nothing good, nothing entertaining. Only NTR could be the rescue factor. The interval twist made me give one more point out of 10 which otherwise would have been a 2/10. I wonder how this movie has got a 6.7 on IMDb. May be people voted as for Prabhu Deva's "Ramaiya Vastavaiya", the Hindi film. A dumb review posted below says this!!

I heard people saying 1st half is good!!! When I actually saw the movie, I was like What!!??. And second half is extremely predictable. The biggest spoiler of the movie is everybody knew Shruthi Haasan has got a role in the movie. If director had kept her role undercover during the making, it could keep an element of enthusiasm for the viewers.

A blahhh from my side for Thaman's music which is as usual!! However, "Neneppudaina kala gannana" song is good :) Editing is smooth and Cinematography is fine!

A doubt that is hunting me till I came out of the theater is..Why the hell had Dil Raju accepted such a terrible script??

Ntr is one of the few talented actors in Telugu.

Whenever a promising director decides to do a movie with him, they restrict themselves to a formula.

1st half was entertaining and the interval block promised a lot.

Unfortunately the later half turned out be a clichéd revenge drama.

Harish tried hard to elevate the movie but it became dull due to predictable and violence filled scenes and it continued till the end.

Ntr's performance was good. Songs were OK but the background score was loud and repetitive.

Overall, it failed to live up to the expectations

Watch it if u r so desperate for a mass movie

I don't understand how this film can be rated 5.something just like for instance the other telugu masala film Naayak which was really bad.

I enjoyed Ramayya Vasthavayya and I'm not even fond of this type of entertainer. I liked the story - nothing new but well developed, some really nice scenes. There were some funny moments without the annoying unsubtle type of humour you often have in these movies. Acting was good - good performances by Samantha and Shruti Hasaan and a really good one by NTR. Musical numbers were *very* good - great music, I actually really enjoy all the songs that are varied and highly catchy, and the choreographies of course show all the talent NTR has for dancing.

It's entertaining without being dumb. A good masala film.

With new actors (that i haven't really heard of)i thought this movie was going to be Rubbish! however when I watched this movie just a couple of days ago go i was proved wrong! It has everything from romance to comedy to action. it might be different to what you have seen Prabhudeva do before because this movie is more on the romantic side rather then action but i guess that is why it is called Ramayya Vastavayya.

The actors were chosen wisely, i guess Deepika Ranbir might be out dated if Shruti Girish work together again! Shurti is just a flawless actress and Girish my god he was amazing for his first ever film! In fact this film was probably twice as fun because of him! Sonu Sood had a great character in this film, as the brother of Shurti, last time I watched a movie of him (dabbang) he was a villain but after watching this movie I don't even believe that he could be a villain, he was that amazing!

The songs were amazing especially 'Jeena Laga Hu' and 'Jadoo Ki Jhapi' and i have to say both Shurti and Girish are good dancers!

now for the spoilers bit, in the first half Girish is referred as the 'australian monkey and later even gorilla, but that all changes after the interval. In the first half he is seen as the spoilt kid of rich parents and who is always flirting with girls and slowly falls in love with Shurti, the second half is so much like 'Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya' her brother make him work in the farm and pick up cow dung and all sorts of those kinds of things. That was the part where everything gets twice as funny! Im sure Girish did a much better job then Sallu did! Overall the movie is great, its not a one time watch its a 100 time watch! I will assure you this movie is probably one of the best movies of 2013, why watch Chennai express with the same old boring SRK and Deepika where in this film your finding new and fresh talent!

I've seen so many great Bollywood movies, it only figures I'd come across a bad one. I know that Indian movies are long, but this one really did go on too long. The plot just seems to go all over the place. It reminded me of Michael Bay's "Transformers" sequels. Okay, those are still worse than this. There was way too much slow motion and dutch angles being used.

It started off sort of funny, but then just went everything. I guess some of the action was at least creative, but that's not enough to save it. The plot was that a guy fell in love with someone, but there's too many songs to really pay all that much attention to the plot. At least it looks bright. It's nice to know the most prolific producers of movies can make bad ones too. I can't say it's one of the worst films ever made, but I haven't seen "Aag". **

The first half is a complete remake of Punjabi movie "Tera Mera Ki Rishta" released in 2009 with Amrik Gill as the writer. They have made some changes to the second half. Overall the movie was too predictable, acting was OK, only the song with Prabhudeva had a good dance steps, the rest were just OK. Cinematography was good. Both Naseer and Zakir Hussain were wasted, they are such good actors but were miscast. Girish's role was done by Jimmy Sheirgill, Shruti Hassan's by Kulraj Randhawa, Randhir Kapoor's by Anupam Kher, Poonam Dhillon's by Archana Puran Singh, Sonu Sood's by Raj Babbar (who played the girl's father instead of brother) in the original Punjabi movie It would have been better if they had acknowledged that this is inspired from the Punjabi movie "Tera Mera Ki Rishta"
