Artiste Performances
Ravi Teja is in full Form and delivered one of his Best Performances. His Physique and Mannerisms suit perfectly to the Role. From Entertainment to Emotions, Ravi Teja nails it with his performance.
Shruthi Hassan delivers an excellent performance making a superb comeback after a short break from telugu movies.
Samuthirakani as a Baddie is great in his role. Varalakshmi Sarathkumar too gives a very good performance.
Chirag Jani and Ravi Shankar seem good in their roles. Sudhakar and Vamshi as constables performed to the mark in their limited screen time. Apsara Rani in Special Song is Energetic. Rest of the Cast have done their part and are Ok.

Analysis
Gopichand Malineni and Ravi Teja have coming back with KRACK after two Successful Movies Don Seenu and Balupu. This Combo now has another feather in their cap with KRACK.
Movie starts with slow pace but picks up once the Hero - Villain Confrontation Begins. First half of the movie has ample Entertainment, Breezy Love Thread and Very Good Dose of Action and Heroism Elevations.
Confrontation scenes Between Katari Krishna and Veera Shankar have been executed excellently.
The Pre Interval sequence is Goosebumps guaranteed. Interval bang is powerful with an amazing action episode.
Second Half starts on a serious note. Director tried to balance all the elements and succeeded to engage the audience throughtout. There is a scene with Shruthi Hassan that is stunning and whistle worthy.
Pre Climax Fight sequence is stylish and shot terrifically. Fights by Ram Lakshman masters are a Big Plus to the movie.
Gopichand Malineni comes up with a story that is seen many number of times but what makes KRACK interesting is the way he narrates it. Showing how A Mango, A Wall nail and a 50 Rupees Note have changed the life of Antagonists is Impressive. He packed the movie with Entertainment and A Very Good Dose of Ravi Teja mark Mass Moments and Commercial Elements. Dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra are Powerful and attract the masses.
Visuals by GK Vishnu are another asset to the movie. Every Frame is beautiful and brings a Stylish look to the movie.
Music by Thaman is yet another major asset to the movie. His Background score elevates the movie to another level, Especially BGM for Pre-Interval and Pre Climax episodes is amazing.
(MY) Final Word
After Raja The Great, Ravi Teja didn't have a proper and satisfying outing. After watching KRACK, every Ravi Teja fan and movie Lover will definitely say "This is what we expect from Mass Maharaja". Gopichand knows how to utilize the energy levels of Ravi Teja to the best possible extent. We have already seen it in Don Seenu and Balupu. In KRACK too, he balances emotions, entertainment and action in right doses and Yes..! he delivers an Out and Out Mass Entertainer. Leaving a slow paced initial portions, KRACK Entertains you throughout with Ravi Teja's High voltage Performance. On a Whole, It's Sure Shot!! No Doubt!! MASSive Comback From Ravi Teja.
Bottomline: KRACK - A Mass Maharaja's Feast (Ravi Teja is Back!!!)
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 on 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. 😊
