Pandu is a contract killer , and will accept any contract provided the amount is right. The Police want him for questioning, while the underworld needs him to silence their opponents.

Reviews
Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
chapsmack Pokiri has the perfect blend of everything an entertaining movie should have. Powerful dialogs, foot-tapping numbers, cheeky romance, great action sequences, fantastic characterization and a mix of a perfect dose of humor interlaced throughout. The director has also reserved some space of suspense with the plot! All these ingredients make Pokiri a must see for the entire family and not just fans of Mahesh. The cast matches the characters to the tee and every one contributes. You'll probably want to watch the movie more than once just to hear Mahesh's dialogs again. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Hats off to Mr. Puri Jagannath!

chandisnot One might get the feeling that the movie is once in a lifetime event after seeing the hype and hoopla surrounding the release and the subsequent record-breaking run it had at the box office. But the movie sadly fails to deliver on many counts - tight story line, memorable music and, for me the essential ingredient of any entertaining movie, a good comedy track.Though it's all too well known that we are not sticklers for realism in our movies, we don't complain a spoonful of it! I mean, an undercover cop going berserk, in his imitation of a Mongol barbarian, with the poor rowdy folks was a bit over the top, to put it mildly. Probably Mahesh Babu was stretching the macho-ism thread little too thin. I still feel his 'Okkadu' is way better than 'Athadu' or 'Pokiri'. Ileana's is a fresh face on the horizon with a neatly chiseled body to boot! Acting is probably not her forte, but who cares, in an out and out hero-focused movie. It's probably due to the sheer number of films he does, but Prakash Raj is getting too predictable, either in a mean, calculating villain's character or in a caring, compassionate father's character.The movie has its positives too - slick photography and exaggerating fight sequences that appeal to the large masses. And it also tries to shock the prudes by showing glimpses of BDSM and snorting! An entertaining three hours but falls short of the status of a legend, its records notwithstanding.
Sangam Yadagiri Well, this is the typical Telugu movie for mass. The highlight of the film is Mahesh's brilliant performance. Apart from this, Prakash raj also has put in a fine effort.The director Puri tried to mix lot of bollywood movies like Abtak 56, Company... The comedy track is horrible. His only forte is writing the screenplay keeping hero character in his mind.Some of the dialog like "Once i am committed, i don't even listen to myself", " I don't know how much an idiot i am" are very good.Ileana looks beautiful. This is Mahesh's another hit after Athadu. Nothing to talk about the music.
