Performance :

Karthi performance was like veteran in his debut flick and gives a brilliant performance as Malli. Nellore slang for Karthi’s character didn’t fit. Priyamani dominated with her role in the movie, Even she dominated Karthi in some scenes. Her performance in the end is just splendid. Saravanan performed well in his character and rest of the characters for supportive. The only difference is Ameer narrates it in a RAW Tamil flavor which might not be accepted by Telugu audience, But that’s what made wonders in Kollywood. The film is quite slow in the first half and lags a lot in the second. Music by Yuvan Shanker Raja music is one of the major assets of the movie. “Na Gundellona” and starting childhood song were best compositions. Especially the BGM perfect fit to the scenes. Cinematography is First Rate. Editing could have crispier, post interval song and scenes can be edited easily. Malligadu is an Ordinary flick with extraordinary acting skills. Production values by studio green are good.
