Analysis :

Artists:Mohan Babu: Mohan Babu is the right choice for this emotional film. The strength of Mohan Babu is his dialogue delivery. But, by writing Telangana dialect to Mohan Babu and making him utter pieces of Hindi dialogues made the entire stuff lose the impact. The movie lovers who like the dialogues of Mohan Babu are in for a disappointment.Preethi: She is taken as a glamour prop for this film. She appears just before songs and has no significance. She did well by showcasing her glamour. Nagarjuna: He enters the film 20 minutes before the end of 'Adhipati'. He has a duet song, a court scene and a shared climax fight to his credit. All the Nag fans are in for a disappointment for the brief role he has done.Soundarya: Her role is limited to a duet song with Nag and a 'single dialogue'.

TeluguOne Perspective :

The first half of the film is very ordinary and second half of it is OK. Touted as a multi-starrer, Adhipati fails to impress the viewers. The producer seems to have made this film keeping the success of Narasimha Naidu in mind. They have selected the same set of artists (Mukesh Rushi, Jaya Prakash Reddy as villains and Preethi as heroine) and dialogue writer and tried to emulate the formula of Narasimha Naidu. What this film lacks is powerful screenplay and pulsating direction. We have to wait and see how the audiences of Andhra script the fate of 'Adhipati'.
