Critic Review
Eenadu Commissioner of Police Eeshwar Prasad (Venkatesh) gets a phone call from an anonymous caller (Kamal Hassan) about some explosives planted in different places. Without ruling out the call as a prank in the wake of bomb blasts in Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat, Eeshwar Prasad immediately informs the chief secretary (Lakshmi) to the government and summons her to his office, with a plea not to search for protocol. After she reaches his office, he explains the situation to her and takes permission to handle the situation. The caller demands the release of four terrorists and in order to prove that he has planted bombs, he gives a hint to the police that a bomb is kept in Lakdi-ka-Pul police station. The bomb disposal squad rushes to the place and is in a confusing state on how to defuse it. The caller himself reveals the way to defuse the bomb. Later, he narrates his demand to release four hardcore terrorists from jail. As per his demand, the four terrorists are taken to Begumpet airport. Two police officers Gautham Reddy (Bharat Reddy) and Arif (Ganesh Venkataraman) accompany the terrorists. On learning that the group has reached the spot, the caller wants to send them to a jeep waiting for them. However, Arif keeps one of the terrorists as hostage with a view to extract the information about the explosives from the caller. But the caller insists to kill that terrorists. With no option left, the commissioner orders to kill that terrorist. Did the police get any clue about the anonymous caller? Why did the caller demand the release of the terrorists? Did they get freedom? What happened to the terrorist who was kept as hostage by the escort police officer? Was the commissioner able to catch the caller? Did he really keep bombs and terrorize the people? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax. .

The real path-breaker is the length of the movie - under 2 hours. That's a feat by Tollywood standards, and watching it should give you something to brag about to your grandchildren. If the movie doesn't click with you, that is..

For the Telugu audience, Eenadu is a film which is out of the formulaic pattern and the hero warp Telugu cinema is in, and shows that films like it can be made too which can be seen and enjoyed with the audience taking home something extra too! Watch Ee.

Remaking of a film in other languages will always draw comparisons and this film proves no exception to it. But for Venkatesh"s performance, the film has failed to please the Telugu audiences. The film has no mass elements to pull crowds to the theatres,.

Kamal and Venkatesh acting together in a film and their star power is the major attraction with Eenadu but the film, on the whole, is okay. It lacks the force and emotional basis to get connected with. For those who havent seen the original, Eenadu looks.

Eenadu is the kind of film, especially the theme, which comes once in a blue moon. It�s a film marked with anger and frustration of a tortured soul written all over it. A thought provoking tale of a common man, Eenadu is a splendid tale of conscience, t.

A Wednesday worked purely on content with actors complementing it. By adding the stars to Telugu/Tamil version, the characterizations got changed. Hence the needed effect gets diluted. The plus points of the movie are Kamal Hassan, Venkatesh and technicia.
