Heroic Historical Drama

With Kanche, Krish created many paths and gave Telugu cinema a new direction. He continues his astonishing work by narrating a hard hitting and entertaining story of an unsung king in a thumping manner. Films like these come very rarely and icing on the cake is the presence of Balakrishna who single-handedly dominates the proceedings with his towering performance. If you ignore the lack of emotions during the second half, well-executed war scenes and grand visuals make this historical extravaganza a must watch for every Telugu film lover.
Dialogues throughout are very effective

Gautamiputra Satakarni is a must watch for some breathtaking war sequences and the high voltage performance of Balakrishna. Dialogues throughout are very effective. Highly suitable script for Balayya’s 100th Movie. The brilliant choreography of war and action scenes, background score, picturization and punch dialogues are the attractions on the technical front. Dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra are the major highlights in this movie. The scene in which satakarni names himself after his mother as ” Gautamiputra Satakarni ” is highly emotional.
NBK's Historical Epic

Director Krish made this movie on a grand scale with amazing quality in not so high budget for its genre and in a very short span of time. He is going to go places with this movie. The way he showed Balakrishna as Satakarni is superb and the dialogues he got from Sai Madhav Burra’s pen are superb. No other director used Sai Madhav Burra’s talent like him and coming days are going to be very busy for Sai Madhav. Gauthamiputra Satakarni is an epic and glorifying tale of a less celebrated king which has many moments to give goosebumps to audience.

In a war film, it's the profound dialogues and performances that make the most impact, while the war sequences deliver the least impact. Balakrishna ahoy!
