Review by Chinmoy Shekhar Saikat ★★★½

You see, every South Indian movie I've ever watched, every Thalapathy Vijay entries I've cheered to, every Dhanush performance that has made me wonder, every Anirudh Ravichander soundtrack I've listened to countlessly, every Samantha Ruth Prabhu character I've fallen for, every little thing I know or love about South Indian Cinema - it all started here. And coming back to this movie after so long feels like coming back home. What a banger fucking movie. A lot of flaws, can't deny that but it still holds up beautifully. Drags a bit tho.

Mass.. Ma... Ma.. Mass I forgot how many times I have watched this film, probably my first non-bollywood film.

Aadiiiiiiiiiiiii😭

Review by Megha

I have seen this movie way too many times. Also I thought the name of the hero was MASK for some reason?!?!? My whole life is a lie.

Review by Kevin ★★★ 2

Recently came across a lot of memes about this movie, especially the famous "aaadiii" sequence 😭. It was supposed to be emotional, but I couldn’t help but laugh.

Nagarjuna's energy throughout the film was contagious; he absolutely carried the entire movie. Sure, it has its flaws, but they didn’t bother me much.

It's the kind of typical 2000s Telugu action flick that you can watch just for the fun, action, and over-the-top moments. Thanks to the meme community for pushing me to watch this one!

DADA HILTE TOH MASS DADA CHALTE TOH MASSSSSS

Review by Nick ★★★ 1

This cast deserved a better movie. What we have here is a great group of performers, some fun songs, a couple interesting ideas... and an otherwise badly made movie.

The cast is *so* good it lands in a very thumbs-in-the-middle place, and if you love Nag (and why wouldn't you) it's a very fun showcase for a lot of his different charms.... but it's also horribly edited, questionably paced, dubiously directed, and inconsistently written.

Special mention to a romance that manages to be equal parts incredibly sweet, convincingly romantic, and deeply, deeply toxic.

That kid: Hamko Saab Anaat Bolte hain.. Anaat Iyaani kyan hain? Anjali: Anaat Iyani baghwan ki bacche! Me: 😧😢😥😢😥 Ganesh: Main be to Anaat huun.. Mujhe bhi ek niwala khilao gi... Me:😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Music: 🎼🎵🔥🔥🎼🎵🔥🔥🔥🎵🎹🔥🔥🔥

Review by Manav ★★½

A typical South movie I didn't enjoyed it that much Nagarjuna is great But overall I thought it's just average Dada chalte to Masssssss Ma ma massssssssssss

Review by Asushlo ★★★

Just an incredible tribute to how charismatic Nagarjuna is.

This is a very bad movie in so many ways, but Nag carries this film again, again, and again, lame script, bad directing, nonsensical plotting, Nagarjuna is there to figure it out.

A movie with perhaps the worst editing of all time is defeated by the excellence of Nagarjuna.

This is not good, but Nag rules, so uh...watch his good movies.

123telugu.com Rating : 2/5

Director : Balaji Mohan

Producer : Vasireddi Padmakara Rao

Music Director : Anirudh

Starring : Dhanush, Kajal Agarwal, Robo Shankar

A dubbed version of Dhanush’s Tamil flick Maari titled Mass has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it fares.

Maari (Dhanush) is a local don who becomes quite popular after murdering a powerful goon eight years back. As time passes by, a cunning cop named Arjun (Vijay Yesudas) gets transferred to that area and he makes it a personal mission to put Maari behind bars.

In order to accomplish his goal, he takes the help of Sridevi (Kajal), who also has a personal grudge against Maari. Will he be able to accomplish his task ? What is Sridevi’s personal grudge against Maari? Does the duo succeed in putting Maari behind bars? These questions form the crux of the story.

Plus Points:-

As expected, the strength of the movie is Dhanush himself. The national award winner’s impulsive performance and terrific screen presence manage to enthrall the audience big time. Kajal Agarwal looks beautiful and does well within her limitations.

Robo Shankar entertains the audience to an extent with his quirky one-liners. Another plus point is the superb background score by Anirudh which elevates a few scenes quite nicely.

Minus Points:-

Except for the things said above, everything falters in this film. The film is a badly written with too many sub-plots that fail to entertain the audience. Except for the bits and pieces of comedy sparsely spread out, the film has nothing to boast about.

The narration lacks any significant twists or turns and the characterization is equally bad. Mass is an example of an exaggerated and formulaic entertainer that is played to the galleries and relies solely on the main lead’s popularity.

Also, the run time is a huge minus and could have been easily shortened. The translation is also quite poor and better care should have been taken.

Technical Aspects:-

Being a dubbed film, the production values of the original are appreciable. Music by Anirudh is just about okay, excluding the background score which is excellent. Editing is very poor. Camera work is nothing exciting. Dialogues loose meaning due to poor translation.

Coming to Balaji Mohan, he has chosen an impressive cast but failed badly in choosing the right script. In the process of trying to make a commercial entertainer, he forgets to add in the required entertainment. The plot is very flimsy and has zero originality.

On the whole, Mass is purely for Dhanush fans only. Even though he tries his best to keep the ship afloat, too many holes in the narration and script end up sinking it big time. The film vows to test the patience of the audience and can be left alone this weekend.
