Already a hit in India, the film pairs the very popular Mahesh Babu with the gorgeous Samantha in true Indian cinema fashion at a lightning quick 3 hours and 10 minutes.
So what made "Dookudu" so popular?
"Obviously, the most important is the star of the film, Mahesh Babu; then the film is directed by Srinu Vytla, who has earned a name for making mass entertainers Ready, King etc.. The presence of popular comedians Brahmanandam and M.S.
