Mass Jathara: Audience review

Mass Jathara received mixed reviews from the audience, with die-hard Ravi Teja fans hailing the movie as a decent entertainer.

“Decent and entertaining... Visuals look great... The songs on screen were excellent... Interval was pure Mass Jathara. BGM was a let down it's loud but songs are good,” a social media user said.

A user said that the movie makes for a good “one-time watch, full paisa vasool,” thanks to the “Ravannaa entry and the ‘Tu Mera Lover’ song”.

“Jathara scenes mass feast,” said a fan.

“Mass Jathara lives up to its name, loud, flashy, and full of Ravi Teja’s trademark energy! A routine commercial ride powered by his electrifying screen presence and Sreeleela’s sparkle. Director Bhanu serves a full-on fan feast,” said another fan.

However, a few users said that the movie was a disaster and strictly falls into the cliché category.

“Mass Jathara falls squarely into the category of clichéd, formula-driven mass entertainers that offer little in terms of novelty,” a user said.

Another added, “Double disaster mass jathara.”

“MASS JATHARA is exhausting. Sure, it’s slightly better than something like Mr Bachchan, Khiladi and Rama Rao On Duty but is that the bar now?” asked a user.
