6 Critic Reviews

An uneven narrative, slow pace, thin storyline and the refusal to humanise the great actor hold back the film from what it could’ve been.

Neeshita Nyayapati, The Times of India

While there are many things that makes NTR Kathanayakudu a good cinematic experience, it's the slowness of the script which makes it a tedious watch.

Gautham Pattikonda, Bollywood Life

NTR: Kathanayakudu feels like a collection of episodes from NTR’s public life without a strong pivotal moment.

Manoj Kumar R, Indian Express

NTR Kathanayakudu is inconsistent, chaotic and fails to keep you hooked to the screens throughout.

Anusha Iyengar, Times Now

NTR fans of all ages will have guaranteed moments of nostalgia while watching this biopic.

by DILEEP on 09 Jan, 2019

The only person who saved this film is KRISH JAGARLAMUDI. khudos to director Krish. Oucourse there are some slow narration scenes in first half Krish brilliantly turnover to goosebumps scenes. Especially Lord Krishna Avatar and Diviseema episodes are highlight. Kalyan ram did good job but limited time. And another actor who impressed audience is #SUMANTH A. K. A #ANRGARU overall is a best film made by Krish

I have experienced goosebumps while watching lot many scenes in movie, Best tribute to great man From Andhra pradesh "N.T.R" & unfortunately many illtasted guys didn't feel the magic in the movie. Best movie by krish and Balakrishna ji . Even music by M.M.Keeravani ji acted as soul to movie. Must watch movie.

A very good movie.
