Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has a little bit of everything - there's romance, drama, comedy, emotion

and lots of swag.

Here the character grows up seeking validation from a cold-hearted father who puts him down at
every step of his life. Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is set in the soft-tinted, beautifully framed, pastel
hued cotton-candy-land that builds. The evil-doers here are left to their own devices, in hope that
karma will get to them. And when that doesn’t work, they’re of course beaten up black and blue, but
in style. The film sets up a lot of characters and ends up showcasing scenarios that are completely
implausible. But the film’s biggest strength is that you buy it all, even yet again, tells the tale of a
man who wants to help a family he cares about.

The bane of main character existence is his father, giving a brilliant performance. The older man likes
putting down his son at every opportunity, reminding him of his fate for having been born in a
middle-class family.

He seems more interested in his boss, son, than his own and there’s a reason for it. The chaos that
ensues when hero finds out the truth about his father and enters the lavish home of milioner and his
family stay at in a bid to help them is worth watching. But not because the film pulls of something
new, but it's classy and something very out of ordinary.

The film is not without its issues. While the romance that ensues between heroin and hero is
adorable, especially the way it all begins is extremely problematic. The fact that hero cannot stop
staring at heroin legs because they’re beautiful is played for laughs, but hero's character balances it
out, very ironically, by giving his lead a line that talks about consent. Heroin manages to bring in
spunk into a character that is nothing more than a manic pixie dream girl, but she sure is a delight to
watch on-screen. Tabu’s character too is poorly fleshed out and the emotional scene she has with
her husband doesn’t completely work. But she’s nothing less than grace personified.

Allu Arjun sinks his teeth into his role, pulling it off with effortless ease. He’s as comfortable being
the miserable son as he is playing the man who will beat up everyone around him with swag,
someone who will smile in his sleep despite his circumstances and instead of blaming his father, take
charge of his life. He, of course, dances like a dream and the fight sequences are a delight to watch.
Especially a particular sequence that involves a fight and a folk song.

Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has a little bit of everything and despite the cliché and predictable
storyline; manages to make it work and deliver what one wish to see.

Myself enjoyed the movie by heart except some sensible part I missed because of language.
However truely I set under serinity almost start of the movie to till end.

Miracle happens usually in stories and our dream but when we experience such characters we mean
there is something unique in form of super power who come as example.
