A Lighthearted Entertainer with Flaws
Fans of Robinhood described it as a lighthearted commercial entertainer with a thin storyline. They noted that the film manages to entertain if one overlooks the logic and rushed climax. Many appreciated Nithiin’s performance, especially in action sequences, and highlighted Sreeleela’s impactful presence. The chemistry between the lead actors received positive feedback, adding to the film’s charm.
The film’s comedy, led by Vennela Kishore and RP, was well-received, with audiences enjoying the humorous sequences. Thanks to Venky Kudumula’s signature style of comedy, many viewers found the first half to be a complete laugh fest. The second half balanced emotion and entertainment, though some felt it lacked the energy of the first half.
Music and Climax Receive Mixed Reviews
The film’s music garnered a mixed response. While some parts of the background score were praised, many felt that the songs did not match the energy of the film. Some fans found the soundtrack forgettable and pointed out that it failed to elevate key moments in the movie.
David Warner’s cameo in the climax was considered a fun addition, drawing cheers from cricket and cinema fans alike. A netizen shared on X, “The second half started off slow but gradually picked up momentum. The cameo of David Warner in the climax was a fun touch! However, the biggest drawback was the songs, which didn’t quite match the film’s energy. BGM was good.”
Criticism for Predictability and Length
Despite the positive reviews, Robinhood was not without criticism. Some viewers were disappointed with the film’s predictable screenplay and stretched runtime. The climax, while engaging for some, felt underwhelming to others.
A section of the audience labeled Robinhood as a “bore fest,” stating that it lacked the freshness and creativity expected from Venky Kudumula. They were particularly critical of the songs, which they found repetitive and uninspiring. Many felt that after such a long break, Kudumula could have delivered a more engaging script.
Robinhood appears to be a film that depends largely on individual preferences. While fans of commercial entertainers may enjoy its comedy and action, those looking for a strong storyline might be left wanting. With mixed responses from critics and audiences alike, the film’s box office performance in the coming days will determine its ultimate success.
