Top Reviewers:
TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2/5):
As a launchpad, the film JUNIOR does its job ;but as a cinematic experience, it falls way short.
GREAT ANDHRA (Rating: 2.25/5):
Junior’ is a slick, attractively packaged debut that falls short in some ways. Although Kireeti Reddy makes a genuine first impression, the movie suffers from a cliched script and flimsy narrative. Fans of debut-hero movies may find it appealing, but it’s a one-time experience that’s best viewed with low expectations.
MIRCHI9 (Rating: 2/5):
In summary, Junior delivers an outdated and exaggerated first half, followed by a slightly more sentimental and grounded second half that works only in bits and pieces. Despite its polished visuals and better casting, the film fails to take off. It ends up feeling outdated—something today’s audience won’t easily connect with, except for the Viral Vayyari song treat.
123TELUGU (Rating: 2.75/5):
On the whole, Junior is a youthful and emotional drama that only works in parts. Kireeti Reddy puts in a sincere effort — he dances well, fights convincingly, and delivers his lines with ease. He clearly has potential, but future success depends on choosing stronger scripts. The film struggles with a routine plot, borrowed moments, and inconsistent writing. If you enjoy debut-hero movies and don’t mind the clichés, Junior may be a one-time watch. Just keep expectations in check.
Times Of India (Rating: 3/5):
Junior may not be a novel approach, but it accomplishes its goal of introducing a fresh performer with a broad appeal and sense of flair. Even though the movie contains a lot of cliches and extravagant scenes, viewers who enjoy commercial entertainers will find Kireeti’s first performance, her relationship with Sreeleela, upbeat music, and vibrant images to be enjoyable.
