Analysis: The audience definitely expects certain things from star hero Balayya's films. They feel that the dialogues should be amazing, and there should be thrilling action sequences and eye-catching elevation sequences. Fans who want these and watch the film can be said to be a film like Daku Maharaj Full Meals. Balayya's previous films are nothing short of amazing. This movie is not lacking. The lack of novelty in the story. Although the movie is as expected, it is a bit of a minus for the movie. The director designed the story in a way that is impressive. However, even though the first ten minutes of the movie seemed a bit shaky.. the story soon gained momentum. It slowly shifted into high gear. The story is free until the climax. It maintained the same pace. However, since the climax was flat, it seemed like everyone failed to create a sense of suspense. I must say that Director Bobby succeeded. He succeeded in bringing the audience to the edge of their seats and giving the audience a visual treat.

While there are some unnecessary scenes in the first half, the second half is more enjoyable compared to the first half. Bobby has been 100 per cent successful in impressing the audience by showing senior hero Balayya in a role befitting his age. Daku Maharaj can be said to be the best choice for the audience who wants to watch a good mass film with their family during the Sankranthi festival. As always Balayya has acted brilliantly in his roles as Sitaram and Daku Maharaj. Balayya's performance in key scenes is the main highlight of the entire film. This film is exactly what his fans want from Balakrishna, with huge visuals and 'wild action and emotional elements'. And his Showing different variations in the role, Balayya mesmerized the audience with his powerful performance. Bobby Deol, who made his direct debut on the Telugu screen with 'Daku Maharaj', was immersed in his role. His performance in some key scenes was very good. Shraddha Srinath lived in her role. The depth in her character was also impressive. Heroine Pragya Jaiswal also acted very well. Her screen presence was also very good. Chandni Chowdhury and Urvashi Rautela, who appeared in other key roles, were impressive. Similarly, Shine Tom Chacko The rest of the actors also impressed with their performances in their respective roles.

Especially in the film, the action elements and strong emotions, as well as the comedy touch, were put in balance, which was a plus for the film.

This 'high action emotional entertainer' 'Daku Maharaj', which came with heavy emotions and huge visuals, has impressed a lot.. However, some scenes in terms of the story do not impress at all as they are not up to the standard of the film. Also, the hype in the film could not be continued throughout the film. And Balayya – It would have been better if the track between the villains had been better. Overall, director Bobby, who showed good performance in key scenes along with the main theme he wanted to convey in the story, was slow in some of the remaining scenes.

Who did it... Balakrishna impressed the audience by balancing both the roles of Nanaji and Daku Maharaj. Balancing both the roles like this is a plus for the film. Bobby Deol was impressed with his performance as the Mining King. After Daku Maharaj, Bobby Deol got more movie offers in Telugu, but none of them There's no need to be surprised. Even though Pragya Jaiswal and Shraddha Srinath's roles don't have much importance, they do justice to their roles.

Technical Department: Talking about the technical department of this film.. Cinematographer Vijay Karthik Kannan's cinematography work is amazing. Along with the key scenes in the film, the rest of the action scenes have also been shot brilliantly in accordance with the storyline. Niranjan Devaramane's editing is okay.

He has once again proved with this film that no one can match him in terms of BGM. Thaman's background score is also pleasing. A complete legacy.. Once again, Balayya has maintained the trust he has placed in him. For the film, If there is a second hero, it must be Thaman. Bobby, as a writer and director, has done full justice to this film. He has made the film interesting with a good story and strong and diverse characters. Producers Suryadevara Nagavamsi and Sai Soujanya made this film without compromising anywhere. Their production values ​​are amazing.

Overall, Balayya has added another blockbuster hit to his account with 'Daku Maharaj'.
