There are many movies where we don't know what's real and what isn't, like Inception and Mulholland Drive, but have you seen any Indian movie like that? As far as I can remember, I have not seen any... until 1-Nenokkadine. This is the best Telugu movie post K. Viswanath era.
The film starts out, after the credits, with a flashback-like chase sequence followed by a good Rockstar song with philosophical lyrics, 'Who are you?'. The story of the movie starts right there. The lyrics goes like this - 'Nuvvante Paer Kaadhu, Oor Kaadhu, Face Kaadhu... then... Nuvvante Cash Kaadhu, Time Kaadhu, Dream Kaadhu'. The song sequence was followed by another chase and action sequence. It was so surprising for me for a mega star acted Telugu film to open like this. First ten to fifteen minutes of the movie shows the main character's lack of control over his own mind or say his mind is too obsessed to think only about three faces who he believes, killed his parents. Note - he can remember the face of the three who (believes) killed his parents but don't remember his parent's face at all. He is now in search of everything including his own identity. Soon we finds that the first action scene was just a projection of the character's mind. What a terrific role and performance by Mahesh Babu! His dialog delivery is top notch. He brings emotion through his voice modulation brilliantly. There are notable power dialogs here and there throughout the movie. Eg - - 'I wish you were really unreal.' - 'Fear is powerful than love.'
*The conversation between Mahesh Babu and a kid who lost his mother just then is simply heart touching.
It's an intriguing movie, kindly just don't feel stupid if you find something out of logic. If you're looking for something intense, suspenseful, and different than the usual super-man action movies, this is the best Indian thriller movie you will see all year.
