Story

Surya (Mahesh Babu) is an extremely intelligent and ambitious man who comes to Mumbai with a burning desire to become the most powerful Mafia Don of the city. He comes in at a time when Mumbai commissioner Bharadwaj (Nasser) proudly claims to have wiped out the “Bhai’s” from the city. Surya sets about achieving his objectives in a methodical and calculated manner by grabbing power from the grassroots in a clever and innovative manner. He allies with a local politician Laloo (Shayaji Shinde) and helps him gain power.From then on starts Surya's rise as the most influential Don in India. In the meantime, he is also in love with Chitra (Kajal), who happens to be the daughter of Bharadwaj. Surya's meteoric rise is not taken easily by opposing politicians(led by Prakash Raj) and they start scheming to bring him down. Prakash Raj and Surya also share a past. What is it? Will Surya realize his dreams? That is the story.

Analysis :

Right from the word Go, every frame of Businessman has Puri Jagannadh mark style. Rather than the script, it is the dialogues that keep you glued. Looks like Puri Jagannadh has penned the story basing on the lead hero characterization. Puri has of late been relying on dialogues rather than story and this time he has got Mahesh around. Mahesh with his style, charm and intense performance impresses and makes it a one man show. Hilarious conversation with powerful punch liners are one of the highlights However, the dialogues are too bold that can be enjoyed only by the masses and youth and are strict No to family audiences. The first half of the film is entertaining and the interval bang is good while the second half is a bit slow though works in parts and the climax could have been much better. Mahesh pulls it off with extreme ease and confidence, and makes Businessman a one man show.

Performance :

Mahesh Babu as usual has rocked in the movie with his striking dialogue delivery, stylishness and charm. He showed good ease and variation in his comic and serious dialogues with modulations. Mahesh has brought the grace to Surya’s characterization. Kajal Agarwal has a limited role but has added the glamour quotient to the utmost and of course impressed with her performance. She looked too good in Sir Osthara song and impressed with her sensuous dance moves. Prakash Raj and Shayaji Shinde are perfect, Brahmaji is fine and Nazar is amazing. Dharamavarapu brings out few laughs. Swetha Bharadwaj has set the screens on fire with item number, she seem to be the new replacement of Mumaith.

Final Word Businessman is a feast to Mahesh’s fans..
