Plot
Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), alias Deadpool, leads an ordinary life as a second-hand car salesman. After breaking up with his girlfriend Vanessa, Deadpool discards his suit. One day, he is abducted by the Paradox People who run the Time Variance Authority and taken to Earth 616. Once there, Deadpool needs Wolverine’s (Hugh Jackman) assistance. Together, what did Deadpool and Wolverine do? What adventures did they undertake in the multiverse? How did they confront Paradox? How did they thwart his plans? What ultimately happened in the Time Variance Authority? This is the story of the film.

Legendary actor Hugh Jackman brings Wolverine to life with a grand performance that delights fans. Emma Corrin, in the role of Cassandra, captivates the audience, fully justifying her character and providing great entertainment. The rest of the cast impresses in their roles and proves their perfect casting.
Direction
Director Shawn Levy has created a film rich in thrilling action sequences and humor. The way he steers the story through fun elements is a major plus for the film. Deadpool’s witty one-liners and satires engage the audience. The first half primarily introduces the characters, while the second half dives into the main plot. The action sequences in the second half are particularly exhilarating, offering goosebumps moments. From the pre-climax to the end titles, the film is highly engaging, though adding solid emotional moments could have made it even more impressive. Overall, for those wanting to experience a good superhero film, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is a delightful choice, especially with its humorous dialogues in Telugu.
Technically…
The background music is excellent, enhancing the action sequences significantly. The Telugu dubbing is top-notch, with dialogues syncing well with the situations. The graphics team has done commendable work, and the editing is crisp. The production values are high.
