Positives :

* Allu Arjun has delivered wonderful performance. He impresses the audience with his action, dance and comedy timing that reveals his magic again. With his trendy costumes, Arjun has set a new style for himself in this movie.

* Shruti Hassan has also done her best and rocked with her glamour.

* The first half of the film has a couple of romantic songs, good volume of comedy and an action scene, which keeps the audience engaged.

* Saloni and Shyam, who have important roles in it, have done justice to their characters.

* As “Kill Mill Pandey”, Bramhanandam tickles the funny bones of the viewers. His role in second half is a big asset for the film. He punched with the dialogues like, “Cut-out choosi konni konni nammeyali dude…..”

* As MLA Govardhan, Posani Krishna Murali also creates a laugh riot in the cinema halls.

* 40 Minutes of climax is Simply Awesome.

Negatives :

* There is not much to talk about the movie in negative sense, except
the scenes with Prakash Raj were far away from reality.

Technical Aspects :

* Race Gurram has good sound production elements.

* Thaman’s soundtracks and background score are the main attractions in the technical front. His songs have already become chartbusters.

* Cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa has also done brilliant job, which is one of the big assets of the film. Especially, his picturisation of beautiful locales in song sequences is a visual treat.

* Ram-Lakshman’s choreography of fight sequences are good. The dance choreography is another big asset of the film.

* The selection of costumes and location is fantastic and simply superb.

* Goutham Raju’s editing is also commendable.

Telugumirchi Analysis :

Overall, Race Gurram has excellent performances by lead actors, engrossing narration and rich production values, despite lack of fresh story line. Leaving the logic a side, Race Gurram will definitely entertain the audience. There is no movie at the box office except Legend in this summer season. This is a good feast for mass as well as class who are looking for a good movie.
