Analysis :
Sometimes you just sense things are not right. Like, when you're parking your bike and the parking guy at the theater pats you on the shoulder proudly and salutes you, you just know something's not right. At other times you would think he's trying to pinch out a tip, but not just before entering a 'mass' movie. You know better. Let's not debate who, after actually knowing better, would still venture into a movie where the parking guy salutes you for gallantry. Let's not debate that because we have other debates on our hand like the plot for this one. For the comedy, we have Ali and a sloshed Srihari - both left dangling onto some asinine humor. For the tragedy, we have a few bombings, a couple of thousand hackings, a painful suicide and an even painful heroine. The action part is probably the reason you can venture into the theater. Srihari does all the stunts himself. He really seems to have some superhuman strength. But unfortunately, you don't have the superhuman patience.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Overall, Seshadri Naidu is crooked, pseudo-flaky and hollow. And Srihari, the real star, realistically tried his best to not make it look that way.This film is 70% sentiment and 30% action. First half of the film is mediocre. There is no interval bang or interval twist. Second half is bad. Masses cannot see a mass hero like Sri Hari crying. This film also suffers with heavy illogical scenes. In order to cater to both masses (action) and ladies (sentiment), the director could not do justice to either of the departments. Over all, 'Seshadri Naidu' disappoints you. The four villains don't, either. They say they're sorry to have bothered Seshadri and decide to confess their crimes and settle happily in a cell. They had planned on toppling the government, which Seshadri intellectually foiled. They thought their son would take the revenge, but all he took was our time.
