Artiste Performance
Allu Arjun has given an extraordinary performance. He carries two shades in first half and second half. His dance moves are amazing. He completely shoulders the movie and runs the show well.
Pooja Hedge looks beautiful. She has got a limited screen space and she does well in that. Nivetha Pethuraj too has got a few scenes and she is good in her role.
Murali sharma is great in his role. With a touch of negative shade he just nailed it. Jayaram and Taabu too have done a fantastic job.
Sushanth doesn't have much to do but his role gets importance towards the end. He too has done a decent job. Rest of the cast are OK.

Analysis
Ala Vaikumtapuramloo is third movie coming from Allu Arjun-Trivikram combo after Julayi and Son of Satyamurthy.
Movie starts well by establishing a conflict point of a middle-class man's thirst for richness. Initial portions are handled well. Till interval movie runs with trivikram mark entertainment.
Even the fight scenes are designed in an enjoyable way. Interval comes with hero knowing the babies were swapped by Valmiki and he isn't his father. These portions are excellent making it the right interval bang for the movie.
Songs are shot beautifully. Allu Arjun amazes with his dance moves in Butta Bomma and Ramulo Ramula. Title track is an eye feast.
Second half has a problem of slow pace. There are few moments that might bore you. Board Room Episode is a feast to watch. After an excellent song-action episode movie ends on an emotional note.
Visuals are good. Editing could have been better. Movie's pace is slow. Thaman's Music and Score gets a Big Thumbs up.
(MY) Final Word
Ala Vaikumtapuramloo works well with Family audience. Trivikram dialogues are very good. Allu Arjun is superb in the movie. Bearing slow narration at time this movie is a feel good movie to watch. On a whole, Ala Vaikumtapuramloo ends as a Well made Family Entertainer.
Bottom line: Ala Vaikumtapuramloo - Chala Bagundhi
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
