Vishwak Sen starrer ‘Mechanic Rocky‘, has officially hit theatres today, November 22, 2024, and early audience reactions are pouring in. Directed by Ravi Teja Mullapudi, the film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads.
Initial reviews on social media have a mixed response to the film. Many viewers praised Vishwak Sen’s performance, that he truly shines in the lead role as Rocky, a character who takes over his father’s mechanic shop. One reviewer on social media described it as a “one-man show,” and that the second half is filled with twists and thrilling moments that kept them entertained.
The reviewer on X wrote, “#MechanicRocky — @VishwakSenActor’s one man show with a standout performance. Decent first half & engaging 2nd half with some great twists and good theatrical moments. Watch it!”
Some viewers found it lacking excitement and described it as substandard. They felt that apart from a few jokes, the first half failed to captivate and at times became irritating due to an outdated screenplay and over-the-top comedy. Some pointed out that the storyline was weak and needed a stronger foundation to support the film’s overall impact.
Another viewer wrote, “#MechanicRocky Review :- #VishwakSen as Rocky – Action & Sequences in 2nd half – #MeenakshiChaudhary & #ShraddhaSrinath peak Acting – #JakesBejoy Music & BGM TopNotch 1st half With comedy Will not entertain much but 2nd half Intense U more 2nd half >> 1st half”
Another user said, “#MechanicRocky Substandard 1st Half! Apart from a few jokes here and there, this film offers nothing interesting so far and irritates at times. The screenplay is outdated. Comedy is over the top for the most part and does not work. Not much of a storyline either. Need a big second half to save this.”
A tweet reads, “#MechanicRocky is a MASS BLOCKBUSTER! Vishwak Sen’s electrifying performance, Meenakshi & Shraddha Srinath’s captivating charm, and bejoy’s pulsating music make it a must-watch! Rating: 3.5/5 #MechanicRockyReview”
Several audience members appreciated the chemistry between the lead actors, especially praising Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath for their performances. The music composed by Jakes Bejoy also received positive remarks for enhancing the film’s action sequences.
Another says, “Enjoyed #MechanicRocky! @VishwakSenActor owns the screen with his high-voltage energy and performance as Rocky #MeenakshiChaudhary & #ShraddhaSrinath are brilliant! @JakesBejoy’s music amplifies the action. 2nd half elevated the movie turning it on to full-on mass entertainer! Rating: 3/5”
As reviews continue to roll in, many fans agree that while the first half may not have delivered as expected, the second half of ‘Mechanic Rocky’ elevates the viewing experience.
