Kalaavathi Takes Advantage of it and keeps borrowing and looting money from Mahesh. One day, he gets to know the true colors and intention of Kalaavathi and asks her to pay back the money. But things take a major turn here. What happens? Will this lead Mahesh into a bigger trouble? How will he handle this? This forms rest of the story.
Artiste Performances
Mahesh Babu is Awesome in the role. It's a complete changeover to him from his previous outings. Audience will love that change and the way Mahesh performs with ease in a completely energetic and powerful role. His Swag, his Attitude, Body Language, Dialogue Delivery and comic timing are Stunning. This is surely one of his best performances.
Keerthy Suresh gets a different characterization and she does a great job as Kalaavathi. She is beautiful and looks good pairing with Mahesh Babu.
Samuthirakani as antagonist is excellent and gives a tough opposition to Mahesh.
Thanikella Bharani and Nadiya bring the conflict point and Emotional depth to the proceedings. Though their roles are short, the impact they create is solid with their performances.
Vennela Kishore is superb. His scenes with Mahesh are hilarious.
Rest of the cast have done their part and are good too.

Analysis
After a Long gap of 2 and half years, Superstar Mahesh Babu is back on Screen with Sarkaru Vaari Paata teaming up with Parasuram. Fans and Normal audience have been eagerly waiting for this one as it is Superstar back with his vintage stuff.
Movie starts with establishing Mahesh's character and his opinion on loans and interests. Introduction scene is terrfic which is followed by stylishly shot and choreographed Penny song. Both are treat to watch and are whistle worthy.
Kalaavathi enters the picture and Love track begins. Though the scenes are fun to watch, at times the narration falls flat where the proceedings feel a bit slow. But the charming scenes between Kalaavathi and Mahesh overshadow it.
Even Vennela Kishore and Mahesh track too is another major highlight of the movie. They are hilarious and provide the required entertainment in the first half.
Pre-Interval Confrontation scene between Rajendhranath and Mahesh are awesome. It's massy and perfectly presented that will surely give a high to audience.
Beach fight is yet another highlight of the movie. Ram Lakshman Masters have designed all the Action Sequences in tremendous way. All Action episodes are a feast for fans.
Interval Episode is great. It comes with a little twist which is presented in an excellent way setting stage for an engaging face off between Mahesh and Rajendhranath.
Second half is racy and more massy. Emotions take the centre stage in second half which make the proceedings gripping.
Lorry scene followed by a small fight and a Confrontation scene between Rajendhranath and Mahesh is absolutely splendid. Mahesh arrests the audience to the screens with his Extrodinary Performance, Attitude and Swag.
There are few scenes where Mahesh talks about the importance of banks, recovering loans from people who don't pay the interest and loans once taken. Dialogues are very well written and the way they are mouthed by Mahesh during these scenes will surely make them thought provoking.
Second half too has its dose of entertainment. A Track involving Subbaraju, Mahesh and Kalaavathi is laugh riot. Even the short track between Prabhas Seenu and Mahesh is very funny.
Pre-Climax scene is awesome. People revolting with Sarkaru Vaari Paata Playing in the background is just amazing. It creates the right impact and the whole sequence is presented in an interesting way.
Climax Bank fight is "Fan"tastic. With Mahesh mouthing some Mass dialogues as seen in trailer, and Bashing the goons is all we wanted to see all these days and director delivers it marvelously.
After a stunning action sequence and a strong message delivered, Movie ends on an emotional note and a little comic relief with Vennela Kishore, Mahesh and Keerthi.
Visuals are one of the major asset to the Movie. Every song on screen is eye candy. Penny is a stylishly shot song, Kalaavathi matches the euphoria it created with audio and is beautifully done on screen. Ma Ma Mahesha shook the theatre. Mahesh and Keerthy are energetic and made everyone either whistle or watch without blinking with their superb dance moves.
Dialogues are hard hitting and will leave an impact. Editing is neat. Art work is great. Production values are Rich.
Thaman needs a Special Mention here. He has done a fabulous work with Music but BGM is a Banger. He keeps pumping the adrenaline into audience as well as the movie with his Background score which is another major asset to the movie.
(MY) Final Word
Parasuram did an impressive job with Sarkaru Vaari Paata. Handling Superstar, delivering the message, delivering what fans want to see from Mahesh and packing it with right mix of commercial elements is a not an easy task and he does it superbly. He Presented Superstar in a completely new way which is vintage, very energetic and powerful. Movie may feel formulaic at places but Mahesh completely over shadows that with his Attitude, Body Language, Swag and Performance. Leaving the slow pacing at few places, Movie completely succeeds in delivering an Enjoyable outing that brings back Vintage and Energetic Superstar. On a Whole, Sarkaru Vaari Paata ends up as an Engaging Commercial Flick with Entertainment and Message rightly blended. Go For it!!
Bottomline: Sarkaru Vaari Paata - Superstar's One man show! A Properly Packed Mass Entertainer.
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. 😊
