Much to everybody’s shock, Mahesh Babu’s '1 Nenokkadine', with a 9.2 rating, is at number three place on IMDB’s ‘highest rated thriller feature films with at least 5,000 votes’ and at number five on ‘highest rated thriller feature films’.

This says a lot about the movie keeping in mind that it has just been a week since its release. The movie beats 'The Dark Knight' (4), 'Inception' (6) and 'Sholay' (15). Though it did not have a good opening, it picked up over the week through word of mouth publicity.

Director of '1', Sukumar, is overwhelmed with the IMDB ranking. “The feeling to place it at number three among Hollywood movies is overwhelming. This also proves that the standard of Telugu cinema has gone to another level.” The director adds that it is the teamwork that paid off. “I should thank my technicians who did a brilliant job. I am also happy that Mahesh trusted my script, and said yes to the movie.”
