Minus Balakrishna, Nothing

The flat storyline apart from Balakrishna's sense of humor offers nothing engaging enough. Telugu cinemas have come a long way and its time the directors start looking at offering variety in Masala films too. By relying solely on Hero�s mass image, movies like Paisa Vasool do not go beyond the fan base in terms of entertaining. (more)

Balayya's one man show

Paisa Vasool is clearly made to please Balayya's fans. They will just love him in a massy avatar after a very long time. Balayya�s punch dialogues, comedy generated and stylish fights are basic assets. This film will draw a mixed response in the overseas and A centers as it has same the old routine Puri style of narration. Finally, as Balayya says in the film, he will only take a bullet for fans or family and outsiders are not allowed, this film too, will only be a joyful fare for true Balakrishna fans.(more)

Paisa Vasool Movie Review

Balakrishna has proved himself as an actor with brilliants portrayals of characters such as Krishnadeva Raya in Aditya 369 and Lord Rama in Sriramarajyam. But in Paisa Vasool, Puri appears not to have made any attempt to exploit this ability of the actor judging by the few emotional scenes in the film. Also, Kabir Bedi is kind of wasted in the film as RAW chief. An actor of his calibre deserves better. Puri Jagannadh has merely concentrated on making a commercial mass masala film and he succeeds at that. On the whole, Paisa Vasool is a racy entertainer that will appeal to audiences, especially to fans.(more)

Chaala Theda!

"Paisa Vasool" regales with mass moments here and there but it soon drifts into regular style of Puri�s recent movies that are loud and too predictable.(more)

Sorry Bob Marley!

Didn't like it? It doesn't matter. Like Balakrishna says in the film, it's for fans and family. 'Outers' not allowed. Go figure.(more)
