Ravi Teja’s last film Touch Chesi Choodu was an utter flop. Now, he returns with another flop movie Nela Ticket.Here’s what the critics have to say about it:
The Hindu: ‘Nela Ticket’, which becomes Ravi Teja’s moniker in the film since his childhood years, explains how he begins from nowhere and rises in the eyes of common people when he fights for them in his madcap ways; it’s also a metaphor for his crowd-pleasing abilities.
Kalyan Krishna Kurasala who’s credited for the story, dialogues and direction perhaps thought the title and the actor’s presence are enough to please the crowds.
TimesofIndia: Ravi Teja may be the Mass Maharaja but neither the masses or any other audience would appreciate a stale, outdated and poorly told story.
The actor does what he’s known for but is let down by a weak script. Malvika Sharma doesn’t have much to do in her debut film and the love story is as farcical as the rest of this film.
Jagapathi Babu as the stereotypical baddie just about hits the mark, though it seems he has the same expression throughout.
‘Nela Ticket’ has arrived two decades too late and with such a muddled screenplay and poor writing, this film isn’t worth a watch — even with a Nela Ticket.
The Hans India: On the whole, the film quite disappointed the audience with poor screenplay and narration. The expectations have doubled on this film with the trailer, but the storytelling and screenplay didn’t go well with them.
There is no story in it and even doesn’t even have the comedy that audience expect from Ravi Teja’s film. Like his previous films, Kalyan also failed to give the entertainment through this film.
Indianexpress: It doesn’t hurt to watch a brainless entertainer. In fact, brainless movies can be a good way to veg-out after a really long week. But, films such as Nela Ticket is a blatant attack on the senses that only aggravates one’s stress.
Thefirstpost: It’s hard to find even a single scene which makes you care about whatever is happening on screen. If you haven’t gasped ‘Oh God! What’s happening?” while watching this film, then you clearly aren’t focusing hard enough.
The good news is that you haven’t missed anything at all. The bad news is that you just wasted 167 minutes of your life.
Hindustantimes: The two things that hold the film together till the end is Ravi Teja’s humour and the sensible back story.
For instance, the sketch about ministers being kept captive in a resort in Goa or how they are bribed for support is hilarious considering the current political scene in the country.
