Plus Points:

NTR Peformance
Etching of NTR’s character
Twists in the storyline
Couple of Twists in the storyline
Minus Points:
Second half
Dragged sequences
Stereotype climax
Lack of conviction in key scenes
NTR Mass image created problems
No comedy in second half
Performances:
It is good to see NTR switching genres. He did a completely different role in this movie which is more of a lover boy and less of an action hero. He also tried comedy and underplayed the emotions. It is refreshing to see him in this movie. He has to keep a check on the weight as he is gaining few kilos. His dances in Dandia India are good.
Tamanna got a very good role and she excelled in it. Generally heroines don’t get much scope in star heroes films. But this film is an exception and Tamanna lapped it up. She is gorgeous in few scenes.
Prakash Raj is routine. Jayaprakash and Raghubabu are funny. MS Narayana shared few laughs. Kick Shyam is brief and Rehaman is Okay. Sayaji Shinde’s role is half baked. Harika (Payal Ghosh) gives a neat performance.
Final Analysis:
Its not for NTR died hard fans, as Tony character plays in and around Tamanna (Niharika). Coming to the first half of the movie – the introduction scenes are really taken high note and creates much expectations on Tony’s role. Surrender reddy proved he is best in picturisation. First half of the movie goes really well with comedy scenes between – Tony, Sarkar, MS, Raghu babu.
Interval before scenes creates ripples as one feels the second half will be a complete action packed and surrender reddy did his best to elevate but NTR’s reasons in killing gangs will be revealed immediately after the interval. Here starts problems for Director as NTR (Tony) character wont be available on screen for 10 min, even comedy track goes down bit.
For Jr. NTR fans second half will be a bit disappointing but if you really take Tony’s character into mind – The characterization speaks everything.
Final Verdict: Oosaravelli is an Action Entertainer – everyone can watch for once. Dont expect Mass elements and Action NTR in Oosaravelli.
