![]() ![]() The film looks rich and vibrant throughout. Costume Design is decent as Vijay Deverakonda looks stylish for the most part of the movie. Dialogues are not upto the mark because in all essence, NOTA is a Telugu dubbed film primarily shot in Tamil. The film has serious pace issues which results in a boring narrative. Editing by Raymond Derrick Crasta is poor. There's nothing outstanding about the visuals. Cinematography by Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran is alright. While the songs are terrible to hear and badly filmed on screen, the background score provides some respite much needed oxygen to the slow proceedings. Technicalities: Music and BGM by Sam CS is decent. Despite Vijay Deverakonda's presence, Anand Shankar fails to utilize this opportunity and squanders what could have been an engaging political thriller. The climax doesn't make any sense either. And it sure won't appeal to the Telugu audiences either. The 2nd half conflict with the dam isn't known to many outside Tamil Nadu. Particularly because Shankar doesn't capitalize on the high that the aforementioned scene gives. Despite the Rowdy CM scenes and a few scenes here and there, NOTA makes for a painfully boring watch. And the entire fault lies on the director as he is responsible for both departments. Simply put, NOTA has neither a good script or good direction. A bilingual should have scope for both sensibilities or balance both of them and he fails to do either. It's clear that he has no grip on the Telugu sensibilities and played to the galleries of the Tamil audience. And he is back with his latest offing in NOTA. Direction: Anand Shankar's last film was Iru Mugan, a thriller featuring Vikram in a dual role which failed miserably at the box office. The rest of the actors are all Tamil actors who are unknown to the Telugu audience. Priyadarshi is wasted and Tamil comedian Kanurakarans comedy doesn't register. It's more a guest appearance as she is there for literally 3 scenes. ![]() Mehreen shouldn't even be called the heroine. Tamil actor MS Bhaskar is adequate as the adviser and party member to the CM Sanchana Natarajan is decent as the two faced party member. Nasser and Sathyaraj are the other two pillars of the film and veterans are flawless as usual. He gets the job done and his incredible screen presence makes him a joy to watch. He is fabulous in his role as Varun but the role has no lasting impact like Arjun Reddy or Vijay Govind. Performances: Vijay Deverakonda is the only reason to watch this film. How he does that and what obstacles he faces in the process forms the rest of NOTA. ![]() When his father gets arrested and is sent to jail, it's up-to Varun to run the state and assert his authority over his people. Can Vijay keep the success streak going with this political film? Let's find out in this week's review Plot: Unbeknownst to him, Varun (Vijay Deverakonda) is made the new CM of Tamil Nadu by his father Subramanyam (Nasser) who is the current CM of the state and reasons best known to him. Playing a CM in the film, the film was predominantly shot in Tamil and dubbed into Telugu.

Arjun Reddy and Geetha Govindam also landed in some kind of issues before the release but later they went on to become very big hits. Most of the Vijay Devarakonda movies are landing into one controversy or the other before the release and that eventually helping the movie to get better openings. The petitioner also requested that the movie need to be watched by Election Commission and ensure the scenes that impact Telangana polls be removed from the movie.
