If any actor have a huge fan base in mass crowds, then he is called as a star. Every actor try very hard to get to be called as a star. Only a few actors reach that star level and become crowd pullers. Bellamkonda Srinivas, who made his debut with high budgeted action entertainer “Alludu Seenu”, under the direction of star director V V Vinayak. He is now coming with another action entertainer ” Speedunnodu”, directed by Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao, produced by Bheemaneni Suneetha under Goodwill Cinema. Let’s see how it works on us!!
Story
Sobhan (Bellamkonda Sreenivas) is a son of president of Rapthaadu, a village in Rayalaseema, who leads a happy life and spends all time with his friends. Sobhan ensures that he is always of some help to his friends. He goes to any extent to help his friends. One day, he goes to ensure that his friend Rubber Giri’s (Madhunandhan) love is conveyed to a girl Vasanthi (Sonarika Bhadoria), who happens to be his ex-flame during his teenage. As it happens, she falls for Sobhan again by seeing his deeds to help his friend Rubber Giri. A murder happens and the blame falls on Sobhan and then some twist and turns happen. What are those twists and turns forms rest of the story.
Cast and Performance
Bellamkonda Sreenivaas as Sobhan is good. Compare to his debut performance, he improved well in his expressions. He need to improve a lot more as his voice is expressive in some scenes but not his face. His dialogue modulation is not so convincing. He again proved that he is a good dancer with this movie. Sonarika Bhadoria as Vasanthi is good. She looks beautiful on screen as a college going girl. She did a nice job with her performance. Madhunandan as Giri is good. Srinivasa Reddy is nice. Rao Ramesh rocked as usual in his role and is good with his Rayalaseema accent. Prakash Raj, Jhansi, Posani Krishnamurali, 30 years Prudhvi, Chaitanya Krishna, Vidyu Raman, Shakalaka Shankar, Pragathi, Ali and others actors are good in their roles.
Writing Department
Plot of the story is routine, which is what we are seeing from many years but good. Screenplay is good. Writers tried their best to entertain audience with injecting comedy wherever they get situation and also goes overboard. Dialogues are okay. They seem to be written with an intention to generate punches.
Technical Departments
Music by DJ Vasanth is okay. Yellow Yellow Dirty Fellow song is funny. His background music is good and gives necessary elevation. Cinematography by Vijay Ulaganath is top notch. His visuals make us glued to screen. He showed movie in a superb colourful way. Editing by Gowtham Raju is good, but, could have been better. Stunts and action choreographed by Ravi Varma at good. Selfie fight is nice. Production Values are super rich.

Verdict
Movie begins with the introduction of a village, where people treat girl as a boon to the family followed by high voltage selfie fight where hero saves his friend followed by his introduction song. This movie is dealt in a formulaic way to be safe. Punches written have gone overboard and seems nonsense. This half ends in a regular commercial movie way. Second half starts slowly and turns interesting as it runs in a suspenseful note. Second half is the crux of this movie. Screenplay in this half is racy and crispy to certain extent. Movie becomes emotional and more twisty. Thamanna Bhatia steps in and rocks with her seductive looks and her dancing. This movie is all about love and friendship set in Rayalaseema villages. Watch it if you have more bucks in your pocket.
