Paisa Vasool movie review: Here's what critics feel about Nandamuri Balakrishna's action comedy!

New Delhi: The Telugu action comedy starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, Shriya Saran, Vikramjeet Virk and Musskan Sethi has hit the screens on September 1, 2017, and it is directed by veteran filmmaker Puri Jagannadh.

The flick shows Nandamuri doing some crazy moves and action sequences. With so much buzz about this action comedy, let's take a look at what some of the critics have to say 'Paisa Vasool'. Is it living up to its title or not?

“The film is an out-and-out Balakrishna show. Puri Jagannadh has gone in for a stylish gangster look of Balayya replete with one-liners intended specifically for the fans. While there is nothing especially remarkable about the songs, the background music by Anup Ruebens is in sync with the script. Shriya Saran as the main female lead gets a good role whereas Musskan Sethi is more of an addendum. Kyra Dutta is seen in the role of a cop masquerading as an item girl. We have seen such characterisations of late in films such as Nakshatram and Patel SIR.”—Times Of India

“If you have watched Puri’s films, you should know that his lead characters always try to divert us with their actions. For instance, nobody would’ve guessed Mahesh Babu played an undercover cop throughout Pokkiri until it was revealed in the climax. Such twists worked wonders a decade ago but not anymore because audiences are so used to the narrative style, especially in Puri’s films, there is just no shock value. Paisa Vasool is no different in its predictable twist, but its only saving grace is Nandamuri Balakrishna in a never-seen-before avatar.

Puri’s fascination for mafia continues in Paisa Vasool, and the whole story is about the invisible character called Bob Marley, a dreaded mafia don. Some action sequences, especially a car chase featuring Balakrishna, are exquisitely shot. Balakrishna, in his effervescent self, mouth dialogues with gusto, and it’s a treat to watch him in a mad avatar. If his histrionics can keep you entertained till the end, you might not regret Paisa Vasool, which otherwise is a tedious watch.”—Hindustan Times

“Paisa Vasool is a racy entertainer. This weekend you must watch the film and its worth your ticket. Overall good content driven film after Balakrishna's Gautamiputra Satakarni.”—The Hans India
