Tupaki (Telugu) Reviews - Critics give thumbs up

Telugu Industry has always been very welcoming to our Tamil heroes, including Rajini, Kamal, Suriya, Karthi, Vikram, Jiiva and Vishal all having a market and solid hits to their credit. Among the leading heroes in Tamil, Vijay, Ajith and Simbu have not be able to give a Rs.10 Crore+ grosser in Telugu so far. Tupaki (Telugu dubbed version of Thuppakki) may finally be able to give Vijay the much awaited lucky break in Telugu. Thanks to good reviews and lack of competition (since much-hyped Anushka and Nagarjun starrer Damarukam expected to release on Diwali was delayed for the third time due to financial reasons), Tupaki has taken the spot light and expected to bring in good collections in Andhra Pradesh. 

Let's look at the excerpts from media reviews and see what Telugu critics are saying about Tupaki and Vijay's performance,

• Post Noon gave thumbs up for Tupaki and rated it 3.5/5. The review concluded it’s won’t blow your brains away, but it’s definitely worth watching. Reviewer Hemant called Vijay as the backbone of the film and thought he was fabulous as an army officer. 

• 123Telugu rated it 3.5 out of 5 and called the movie hits the bulls eye. The final verdict was "A stylish Vijay, some exceptional thrilling moments and edge of the seat action makes this film surely worth a watch. Finally, one can say that yet another Tamil hero has successfully managed to capture the hearts of Telugu audience."

• Tupaki hits the target called GreatAndhra with a rating of 3/5. It went on to say the film stands as a platform for Vijay's career in Tollywood. This is not a Diwali Thupaki but a real one with ample bullets in it. 

• Jeevi of Idlebrain rated it 3.25/5/ and said AR Murugadoss who disappointed with 7th Sense strikes back with Tupaki. This popular reviewer also appreciated Vijay for being suave and sophisticated in the role that need brains. 

• Gulte.com complimented Vijay for doing a neat job as the lead man and went on to say "despite having no image in Andhra Pradesh, people would love to see him as the lead. His sweet yet powerful performance is the reason for it. Vijay is yet to score a hit in Telugu and this time he has every chance to register his first success." 

Based on the unanimous positive reviews from public and media, Tupaki in all probability should give Vijay a strong entry into Telugu market.
