well Panjaa is an action-oriented drama executed in a stylish manner that has become a trademark for the director. Even its not so big bpx office hit film but its a good film.

Story:
Jai (Pawan Kalyan) is a loyal henchman and bodyguard for Bhagavan (Jackie Shroff), who calls himself a "power manager" helping public servants and private parties with mafia kind "settlements", with the aid of Guruvayya (Tanikella Bharani) and Sabhapathy (Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao). Bhagavan literally has a monopoly in the business to the displeasure of his ex-gangmate and current rival Kulkarni (Atul Kulkarni), who's constantly trying to get an upper hand in the business. However, Bhagavan's mafiadom is invincible due to Jai's extreme alertness and meticulous planning way ahead of his enemies. On the other hand, bar dancer Jahnavi (Anjali Lavania), who grew up with Jai under the shade of Bhagavan's mafia world, takes interest in Jai. But Jai actually likes Sandhya (Sara Jane Dias) who he met at his greenhouse (plant nursery) managed by Chotu (Ali). All is well until Bhagavan's dearest, only son Munna (Sesh Adivi) returns to India. How Jai takes the situation into control forms the rest of the story.

Artist Performance:
Pawan Kalyan looks uber cool with light beard and ultra stylish in suits. His acting is subtle and extremely controlled. Style is the word that describes Pawan Kalyan in this film. His dances are superb in Papa Rayudu song and are stylish in the title song that comes after the movie is complete. He is agile, flexible and believable in aesthetically choreographed action sequences. Anjali Lavania fits the bill of a glamour doll in this movie. Sara Jane Dias is a class heroine. Sesh is excellent as a psychotic guy. He has complete authority on what does on the screen. Brahmanandam is okay as Papa Rayudu. Ali is alright as hero’s assistant. Jackie Shroff is the main villain and he does justice. Atul Kulakarni is perfect. It’s different role for Tanikella Bharani. Subbaraju, Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao and Jhansi are fine.


Technical and Other Departments:
This story of this film is about loyalty. It is about the internal turmoil of loyal man when his boss does a wrong thing. It’s a class story that deals at psychological level. Hence the reactions and emotions are sophisticated. The hero has certain ethics. He doesn’t react emotionally. He thinks and then takes the right decision. When somebody is making a film with such a story line, one has to make sure that the screenplay is racy and entertainment (may not be the comedy) is in tact. The screenplay of the film is slow. The conflict point is too sophisticated and classy. As Abburi Ravi told in the music launch, the main reason why Pawan Kalyan accepted this story could be because the characterization (style of thinking and reasoning) is similar to that of his personal traits. Direction of the film is adequate with good framing and stylish picturization. While making a movie with a Telugu star, the commercial elements and entertainment are must. The placement of the songs is an example, the first two songs in the movie are heroine songs. The last song that comes after the movie is complete is the Panjaa title track and its very energetic with rocking Pawan Kalyan.

Movie Analysis:
First half of the film is decent. The motive in the second half is not strong enough, hence it will not connect to the average audiences. Pawan Kalyan and technical values are the strengths of the movie. On the flip side, the much needed emotions and entertainment which is staple diet for any Telugu film lover is lacking in the movie. On a whole, Panjaa is a sensible attempt, but not in the tune of popular taste. We have to wait and see how crowds react to it.

Final View:
Panjaa caters to the fans of Pawan Kalyan. While the movie offers nothing new, the stylized making and topnotch cinematography and technical values give the film different look. Pawan Kalyan satisfies his audiences with an appreciable screen presence, performance, and stunts. The film has shades of Pawan Kalyan's Balu (2005) but this one is stylish and sleek film.

Naga chaitanya New telugu film Bezawada Movie Review:

It seems to be bejawada film was not worked for naga chaitanya,all the controversys are gone after the film release. Ramgopal varma again made very one fools.

Story:
Well coming in to story,Kaali (Prabhu) is a don in Vijayawada. He trusts his aide Vijay Krishna (Mukul Dev) than his younger brother Shankar (Abhimanyu). Shankar who is constantly humiliated by Kaali hires contract killers to kill his brother and his aide. After their death, Shankar starts ruling rowdy gang in the city. Meanwhile Vijaya Krishna's younger brother Shiva Krishna (Naga Chaitanya) vows to take vengeance for his brother's death.

Artist Performances:
Naga Chaitanya huffs and puffs through out the movie but his character is poorly etched one and lacks of heroism. Like his father Nagarjuna, he does look good in some scenes but he seems completely disconnected with the story. And you can't blame him for it, though.

Amala Paul is completely relegated to couple of silly romantic scenes and songs. As a don named Kaali, Tamil actor Prabhu and his trusted aide Mukul Dev only shine in this movie. Abhimanyu Singh is carrying the same expressions that he has been doing from Raktha Charitra. Kota, Subalekha Sudhakar, Ajay, Ahuthi Prasad and others have done what they required to do in the poorly written characters.

Technical and Other Departments:
Cinematography by S K Bhupathi is inconsistent. Some shots like a knife attached to the camera gliding through provides unintended laughter. So is Gowthamraju's editing! Production values are cheap. Six music directors have provided songs but none of them are good and the background score is more like template music for these kind of movies than anything novel. Less said about the Vivek Krishna' s writing and narration skills the better.

Analysis:
Bejawada was touted as a film that deals with the cast wars in the 1980's and 90's in Vijayawada city. But the movie has no connection to those wars. Even if the story is set in any other town in A.P, it won't make any difference to the script, as the plot line is as old as Himalayas. It starts off with a Godfather like scene, that Ram Gopal Varma himself used in several of his movies including Gaayam, Sarkaar, etc. But it is badly executed scene in this movie that is directed by newcomer Vivek Krishna.

From the opening scenes to the climax, Bejawada is total mess - writing is amateurish, movie making is so garish, and music is lousy. The director has handled most of the scenes like a Television serial with the same editing pattern. It is so cheap.

Dhada is considered as the worst film in Naga Chaitanya's career so far and now Bejawada comes close to it.

Final View:
Bejawada is a total disappointment. Neither it does provide entertainment, nor it provokes thoughts. The movie doesn't deserve all the hype and publicity as it has nothing to do with the so-called rowdy/caste wars of Vijayawada city. It is another mindless action movie with inconsistent narration, and bad production values.

Nara rohit New Telugu film Solo Movie Review:

Nara is back again with his new film solo.This time also he was entertained the audience very much to his performane.It seems to be solo film worked for rohit very much.

story:
Gowtam (Nara Rohit) is an orphan who works as a software engineer. Since he is an orphan, it’s been his dream to get married to a girl from a joint family. He falls in love with a medical student Vaishnavi (Nisha Agarwal) and comes to know that she has a big family. She is extremely attached to her doting father (Prakash Raj). But he has bad experiences with his sister’s marriage, hence wants to marry off his daughter only to a boy from any big joint family. The rest of the story is all about what happens when he comes to know that his daughter is in love with a solo (no family) guy.

Artist Performance:
Nara Rohith has good looks but he needs to shrug off rigidity in expressions and body language. He was perfect for the role he portrayed in his first film - Baanam but this film needs him to look endearing as it is a family-romantic drama but he is so stoic in many scenes. Nisha Agarwal is good as she has charming looks and also delivers performance in the climax. Savita Reddy has provided voice to her. Pillar of the movie is Prakash Raj; this experienced and multiple times award-winning actor holds the whole drama even in simple scenes. Jayasudha, Pavitra Lokesh, Shayaji Shinde and Ravi are suited well. Ali and M S Narayana provide some good laughter. Srinivas Reddy, Narasimha and others have done justice to their roles.

Technical and Other Departments:
Songs by Mani Sharma are good in parts. Marumallela Vaana song is very good. Dialogues by Parasu Ram are well written and lot of thoughts have gone into writing. There are pretty good fun liners as well as thought-provoking emotional dialogues (especially the way he defines Sukham (body) and Santosham (heart)). Cinematography is alright. Editing is fine. Production values are good.

Movie Analysis:
First half is fun and good. Second half has emotions. The director Parasuram has succeeded in setting up the stage right by the interval. The screenplay in second half is little predictable though the emotions in the climax episode are genuine. The plus points are story orientation and dialogues by Parasuram. On the flip side, a swift and unpredictable second half would have made this movie a special one. On a whole, Solo is a genuine attempt by the director and makes a decent watch if you ignore the lag in second half.

Final View:
Solo has interesting plot line and provides emotional quotient in the second half. A little taut narration in the second half would have made much difference. On the whole, the film is above average family entertainer.

Nandamuri Balakrishna new Telugu Film Sri Ramarajyam Movie Review:
It seems to be balakrishna again shows his capacity how to go on hit track. Director Bapu and Balakrishna comibination worked very much.once again Balakrishna proved that what he was capable.

Story:
The story is based on the popular (Hindu) epic Ramayana, twelve years after Rama and Sita return to Ayodhya following the killing of Ravana in Lanka. One of the spies of Rama (Balakrishna), Bhadra by name, reports to Rama about a washerman Tippadu (Brahmanandam) in his kingdom of Kosala sneered that he was not like the foolish Rama who accepted Sita (Nayanatara) as his wife despite her staying in Ravana's kingdom for about a year. As a king who values his peoples' words, Rama reluctantly decides to part with the then-pregnant Sita and asks Lakshmana (Srikanth) to leave her in the forest outside his kingdom. When Sita's mother, bhUdEvi or the Mother Earth (Roja), is angered at her daughter's plight, Sita promises to join her mother only after giving her kids to Rama. Sita is found by the sage Valmiki (Akkineni Nageswara Rao), the author of the epic Ramayana, and is taken to the former to his ashram where Sita gives birth to twin boys Lava and Kusha (Master Tanay Teja, Master Satvik) while Hanuman (Vindu Dara Singh Randhawa) takes care of her in the guise of a kid Balaraju. Lava and Kusha grow up learning Ramayana from Valmiki; when they go to Rama's place in Ayodhya to sing Ramayana, they realize that Rama has discarded Sita as his wife and become so heart-broke as to vow not to praise Rama anymore. Meanwhile, Rama becomes increasingly detached with his kingly duties and life as he misses Sita. Vasishta (Dr. M. Balayya), Rama's brother-in-law Rshyasringa (Nagineedu), and other well-wishers urge Rama to conduct aSwamEtha yaagam to expand his kingdom and slowly cope with the fact that his beloved wife has parted with him for ever. As a part of the yaagam, all the land that the horse treads on becomes a part of the kingdom of Kosala if no one in the region stops the horse and challenge its protectors. Lava and Kusha, who resent everything connected to Rama, decide to tie the horse up and fight with its protectors. Eventually, they defeat Lakshmana, forcing Rama himself to come fight them. Rama realizes that he's fighting his own sons, when Hanuman brings Sita to the battlefield. Sita hands over the kids to their father and goes down the earth's crust with her mother bhUdEvi. Rama then enthrones his sons and walks off to become one with Lord Vishnu.

Artist Performance:
Bala Krishna deserves a huge applause for accepting this script. Bala Krishna is probably the one of very few actors in current Telugu film industry who can do justice to mythological roles. But the Rama role in this movie is about subtlety and emotions. It needs calmness and measured acting. Bala Krishna has done his role fabulously. Since is story is more about Seeta going to forests and the twins, there is ample footage for these three characters and Bala Krishna obliged it. Bala Krishna portrayed the inner turmoil Lord Rama went through very well. Bala Krishna has always been open for all kinds of scripts and roles. And this is the best film from Bala Krishna after Bhairava Dweepam in mythological genre.

ANR is an asset to the film as Valmiki who helps Seeta and guides her in a critical time. Nayana Tara is perfect as Seeta. She portrayed it gracefully by bringing sanctity to it. She performed fabulously. Sunitha's dubbing helped the cause. The total movie is about the characters of Kusha and Lava. Both the kids who performed these two characters along with bala Hanuman. Srikanth has done the role of Lakshmana and this film will be a feather in his cap. He is superb. Sameer has portrayed Bharat and he is nice. Brahmanandam played a story-changing key role. Roja has done the role of Bhudevi (mother of Seeta). KR Vijaya, Balayya, Murali Mohan, Subbaraya Sharma, Sudha, Hema, Sana, Siva Parvathy Jhansi etc did very well in other important roles

Technical and Other Departments:
The story of the film is based on the classic ‘Lavakusha’. Director Bapu who has done many social films with stories adapted from Ramayana made sure that he got everything right in this movie. Screenplay of the film is very good. The way kids meet their father without knowing that he is their father is a powerful screenplay technique. Bapu has extracted the right kind of performances all the actors. There is a nice humor in the characterizations of Lava, Kusha and bala hanuman. It is very difficult to direct a mythological film of 2 hours 45 minutes duration and Bapu has made sure that the emotions worked. You will sympathize with the characters of LavaKusha and with the ordeal Seeta and Rama going through.

Music by Ilayaraja is excellent. I loved all the songs even before release. All these songs are exceptionally mounted on the screen. Background music is soothing and appropriate. Dialogues by Ramana are good and plain so that the present generation can understand it without any difficulty. Cinematography by Raju is another asset. Four units (EFX, Pixelloid, Makuta and Orange Media) have worked on the visual effects and they have done a fabulous work. Art direction is excellent. Ravinder has come up with a nice set for Valmiki Ashramam. Costumes and make-up are natural. Editing is fine. One person who should get 100% credit for this movie is Yalamanchali Sai Babu. It is a highly risky proposition to make a film like Sri Ramarajyam. Sai Babu has blindly trusted his team and spent a lot of money come up with a high quality product.


Movie Analysis:
First half is good. Second half is emotional. The film really picks up in terms of emotions from the scene where Seeta is left in forest. Bala Krishna and producer Sai Babu should get the huge credit for the risk they have taken. In an era, where the success of a film is measured by punch dialogues, dances, fights and bramhanandam’s comedy, Sri Ramarajyam is a refreshing and a brave film that tells the story as a story. After watching this movie - two people will get enormous respect - Bala Krishna and producer Sai Babu. This film has got music, visuals, emotions and performances in the right proportions. Bapu comes up with an interesting and sensible film in the form of Sri Ramarajyam.

Final View:
Srirama Raajyam, yet another mythological film that shone on the Telugu silver screen after nearly 15 years since Balakrishna-starrer Srikrishnarjuna Vijayamu (directed by Singeetam Sreenivasa Rao), can cater to those sections of audience who may want to see films of such genre made in a contemporary taste and style. It is touchy and classy.

Siddharth New telugu film Oh My Friend movie Review:

finally Siddhart back in right track with his new film,director venu magic was worked for siddharth.

Story:
Well coming into story, Chandu (Siddharth) is passionate about music and he wants to become a lead singer and guitarist. His father (Tanikella Bharani) is a government employee and wants his son to become a corporate employee. Siri (Shruti Hassan) is Chandu’s childhood friend and neighbor. Both of them are extremely close friends. Siri has a boy friend Uday (Navdeep) and Chandu falls in love with Ritu Sharma (Hansika Motwani). The rest of the story is all about the confusions and conflict between and love and friendship.

Artists Performance :
Siddharth looks young and neat as an youngster who protects his friend who is a girl and fall in love with another girl at the same time. Shruti Hassan is fine as a friend. Hansika Motwani suited the character very well and she is very good in traditional dresses. Navdeep should be appreciated for playing a vital role that has limited footage. Tanikella Bharani gave controlled performance as a father. Ali’s comedy is a big relief as a server in a Kerala resort. Since the story focuses on the four lead characters, there is not much role for other actors in the movie.

Technical and Other departments :
Story - screenplay - direction: The story of the movie discusses the possibility of a guy and girl being close friends without any sexual (boyfriend/girlfriend kind of feelings) feelings between them. It is a delicate subject that deals with 4 prime characters. When you have limited characters in the movie, it is important to create a arresting screenplay and engaging narration. The narration of the film is slow. The screenplay should have been more interesting. Direction is adequate. Music by the debutant music director Rahul Raj is nice. ‘Oh My Friend’, ‘Sri Chaitanya’ and ‘Maa Daddy’ songs are good. Background music by Mani Sharma is good. Cinematographer Vijay Chakravarthy has chosen a color theme (mostly blue) and stuck with it. Cinematography is good. Most of the costume wore by Siddharth and Shruti are blue. Most of the costumes of Navdeep are red. Dialogues are contemporary. Producer Dil Raju has made the movie with good production values.

Movie Analysis:

First half of the film is okay. The main conflict point is revealed in the second half. Climax has a good point on which the entire film is based on. Producer Dil Raju has made a brave attempt to make a film without any commercial padding (except for a 10 minute Ali’s cameo in the second half). Oh My Friend is a kind of film which you either connect or disconnet. It will be liked by the viewers who gets connected. The publicity and package of the film is very good and it has generated excellent openings. We have to wait and see how youth and family crowds like the movie.


Final View:
Its a good film to watch with your family in this weekend.

MOGUDU MOVIE REVIEW

Director: Krishna Vamsi

Rating: 2.25 / 5


Gopichand New Telugu Film Mogudu Movie review :

It seems to be gopichand new film not Convinced the audince that much, Even though krishan Vasmi Hard work will not add any gilms of hope to the film

Story:
Ram Prasad alias Bujji (Gopichand) is the son of wealthy farmer and social activist Anjaneya Prasad (Rajendra Prasad). The family is a joint family where Anjanneya Prasad has three daughters, three son-in-laws, and grand children besides his son. Bujji comes across RajaRajeshwari alias Raji (Tapsee) and after few happenings he falls in love with her. Raji is the daughter of Chamundeswari, a powerful political leader (Roja). The families are happy with their love and agree for marriage and the wedding takes place on a grand manner. However, unexpected happenings cause problems between both the families and the couple gets separated then and there. How the issues get solved and how Bujji wins back his wife forms crux.

Artist Performances:
Gopichand looked good in his elements. His character is different from his regular roles. His mass fans will be disappointed to see him an in a very soft role. Tapsee looked gorgeous and she is a visual feast to the audiences. This is in fact the best role she was offered but she needs to work on her expressions. Her dubbing is not going well with her instead she should have preferred a professional to dub for her role.

Shradda Das added the spice with her bikini stuff and she has done justice to the role. Rajendra Prasad once again delivered a powerful performance as a matured father. Naresh and Roja were perfect. Ahuti Prasad and Venu Madhav are fine.

Analysis:
Krishna Vamsi did well in building up the story. There are few ‘overtone’ scenes which seemed bad in taste, but on a whole the flow is neat until interval point. During the mid break, the film changes color and Krishna Vamsi brought that on to the screen in a convincing manner. He has brilliantly shown how small ego clashes lead to big fights in marriages.

The overall feel at the interval time will be positive and raises hopes over the next hour. But Krishna Vamsi found it tough to change the mood of the film all of a sudden. He faltered a bit and the confusions in the characters and their behavior is clearly visible. The movie changes track when it lands in Mauritius. Despite being funny at times, the whole situation looks forced and unconvincing.

The last act in the film was dealt pretty badly. Although that is the only conclusion, he could give to this story, Krishna Vamsi pumped in too much drama and the characters behave in a weird fashion that they get on audience nerves. Mogudu is sheer disappointment on a whole. Despite preaching family values it won’t appeal to family audiences too.

Babu Shankar’s music is catchy and almost all the songs were captured well. Cinematography is top-rated, editing is slick and production values are rich. Dialogues were good. Screenplay in the second half is poor though first half was good. Direction was okay.

Final View :
Mogudu could have been a good family drama with Krishna Vamsi’s strong script. But, too much melodrama and overtone scenes played a spoilsport. the second half was a let down though the first half was pretty decent. Mogudu has less chances to survive at the box-office

surya New Tamil & Telugu Film Seventh Sense Movie Review:

After Some gap surya back again with his new film 7rth sense. It seems to be the gajini hit pair (surya ang Murugadoss)will not be worked for this film. Even director Comes with New script But his presentation was too patchy.

Story:
Well coming into the story,Bodhi Dharma (Suriya) is an ancient Indian warrior who is an expert in martial arts and also a very good doctor who could treat any type of disease. He goes to China and saves a village from various problems. He builds Shaolin temple and trains up several Chinese people and also dies there.

After hundreds of years, China plans a bio war on India. They send a Chinese martial expert, Dong Lee (Johnny Tri Nguyen) who is also good at hypnotizing people when they are in his field of sight. He injects the virus into a street dog and goes in search to eliminate a young scientist Subha Srinivas (Shruti Haasan), who has researched that Bodhi Dharma can be brought back if his sample of DNA matches with another sample of DNA from the successor of his family.

Subha comes to know that Aravind (Suriya), a circus man’s DNA matches to that of Bodhi Dharma and follows him. Meanwhile Operation Red will be successfully started by Dong Lee. Now Subha and Aravind have to bring Bodhi Dharma back to control the almost uncontrollable Dong Lee. How they do that is the rest of the story.

Artist Performances:
Suriya is a very good actor and he did his part very well. In fact he is the only saving grace for this film. Shruti Haasan is beautiful and also could act a bit. Jhonny’s screen presence is good and carried off his character with ease. His martial arts skills are not properly used. Rest of the star cast did an Okay job. The young scientists batch and their Civil Engineer friend failed to give the right expressions and few serious scenes involving them ended up as comedy due to their amateur acting.

Technical and Other Departments:
The film is not that great on the technical front too. Cinematography by Ravi K Chandran is just about Okay. Editing is not up to the mark. Music by Harris Jairaj is pretty bad. None of the songs are good and the background score would rank among Harris’s worst performances ever. Graphics are tacky. There is a lengthy graphics scene involving various vehicles and even school kids could tell that it is not real. That scene should have been at least average given the names involved in this film.

Murugadoss’s choice of script is good but he failed in the execution part. He just made a film with one vague idea and the shallowness can be felt throughout the film. This is not expected from a director of his standards.


Movie Analysis:
Murugadoss’s concept is good and has some variety from run of the mill stuff. He did some research and that can be seen in the film. But he should have gone into further details other than what is available on the internet. First fifteen minutes of the film is interesting and shows promise.

Then the plot is explained and that scene on Chinese people is tad silly. However, Suriya and Shruti Haasan’s chemistry lights up the screen. The director should have taken care about the romantic thread as it turns boring and aimless after a couple of scenes. Screenplay unfolds in a predictable way and lacks the ‘wow’ factor. Subjects like these need to be deftly handled and should hold some surprises. Muragadoss’s flat screenplay marred the chances of this film to be a decent thriller.

Second half has some interesting scenes here and there but they aren’t that strong to leave an impression on the viewers. The process of bringing back Bodhi Dharma and dealing with an ultra powerful villain is simplified too much that Seventh Sense ends up as a sheer disappointing film.

The concept of villain taking control of people in his field of sight is copied from a Korean film ‘HAUNTERS’. Although it is an interesting element it is not properly utilized by the director. On a whole, Seventh Sense doesn’t live up to the expectations and falls miles short of them.


Final View:
overall, 7th Sense Fails To Deliver when its come to matter, But its a different film comes with new concept.

It is later revealed that her name is Niharika (Tamannah) and she’s in love with Rakesh, a politician’s son. Yet, Tony continues to love her and proves that Rakesh’s love is not true. But there is another side to Tony who is on a special mission. And Niharika too has a past.

Artist Performances:
NTR has shown inclination and flair to venture into the path less travelled with the character of Tony. He is very good in entertainment episodes where his fear turns into nightmare for the others (credit should be given for writing team as well). His dialogues are different in this movie. He gave the much needed massy dialogue in the climax episode. His performance in the flashback episode is excellent.

Others: Tamanna has done an important role in the movie. Her performance in the flashback with short haircut is superb. Prakash Raj has done the role of main villain who makes an entrance only in the second half. Jaya Prakash Reddy entertains as a don who is used by NTR. The sidekicks of JP (especially Raghu Babu and Karumanchi Raghu) are excellent. Payal Ghosh (heroine of Prayanam film) did heroine’s friend and she is nice. Sayaji Shinde, Tanikella Bharani, Kick Shyam, Rehman etc have done other prominent roles.

Technical and Other Departments:
Some of Koratala Shiva’s dialogues are good but when NTR mouths this - "Current Teega Naalaga Sannga Untandi" - one can’t stop laugh. One wonders how such silly and absurd dialogue is incorporated. Vakkantam Vamsi’s script is filled with stock situations, he fails to properly copy the Hong Kong film. Devi Sri Prasad’s songs are good on hearing but they are not that effective on screen. The only song that stands out on screen is - Bratakali, which is shot well. Cinematography by Rasool Ellore is okay.

Analysis:
Director Surender Reddy shot to fame with his debut film - Atanokkade, a stylish revenge drama but later he tasted failures with NTR’s Ashok and Mahesh Babu’s Athidhi. To find success, he chose comedy and made an entertainer called Ravi Teja’s Kick - which paid off well at box-office. In Oosaravelli, he has tried to mix Kick style of entertainment and his original style of vengeance which turns out to be a hotchpotch exercise.

Basic plot is taken from Hollywood master Johnnie To directed Vengeance (2009) but both script writer Vakkantam Vamsi and director Surender Reddy have failed miserably in copying (adapting) it perfect. First half is filled up with silly comedy and second half has excessive and lengthy action episodes. The film basically falters in screenplay department - runs predictably and ends in same manner.

Final View:
Oosaravelli is run of the mill revenge drama sprinkled with some comedy here and there but on the whole it is a huge disappointment. First half is okay but it drags on as the movie proceeds on. But it better from jr ntr last Film.

Mahesh Babu And Samantha New Telugu Film Dhookudu Movie Review:

Finally Mahesh Bags a hit after a big Dissapointed past Films.The Seenu Vytla and Mahesh Babu Combination was Clicked alot. Samantha and Mahesh Chemistry will Help the Film to be a big hit.

Story:
Well!!Coming into the Story,A great political leader Shankar Narayana (Prakash Raj) is attacked by group of rival politicians (Kota Srinivas Rao, Shayaji Shinde) and a mafia leader Nayak (Sonu Sood). Severely injured, Shankar Narayana falls into a coma. His son Ajay (Mahesh Babu) becomes an IPS officer and wins the name of an efficient police officer. On a mission in Turkey, he meets a beautiful girl Prasanthi (Samantha) who happens to be his immediate boss's (Nasser) daughter. He proposes to her but she thinks he's playing games with her. Meanwhile, Shankar Narayana comes out of state of coma. Now Ajay IPS hatches plan to take revenge on the guys who traumatized his father.

Artist Performances:
Mahesh Babu: Mahesh Babu proved himself again that he is a director’s actor. He has a big heart to allow Brahmanandam to take center stage for a few minutes, though it is Mahesh who creates such situations. One should have a flair to time the comedy of Seenu Vytla and Mahesh does it effortlessly. Mahesh is one of the comedians when he is with Brahmanandam and MS Narayana. Mahesh Babu has also excelled in dialogue delivery by mixing Telangana accent in villain confrontation scenes. Mahesh Babu’s trade mark teasing romance works big time in Turkey episodes. You see Mahesh being cheerful and smiling in most of the parts of the film.

Samantha has a limited role in this movie and she does justice. Brahmanandam has a dialogue in the film - nannu vaadukondi saar. Seenu Vytla is one of very few directors who utilizes the talent of Brahmanandam to the maximum extent. All those Brahmanandam lovers will have another feast in this movie in which he acts an actor of a fictitious reality show. The way Brahmanandam keeps expressions for ‘bheebhatsamaina humanity’ dialogue and the scene in which he appeals to Nagarjuna Akkineni using his camera pen is priceless. MS Narayana who has excelled as fire star in Dubai Seenu does another similar role in which he wants to make his debut as hero opposite Genelia. Prakash Raj is seen in a positive role (inspired by PJR) and he is excellent. Vennela Kishore does the role of Sastry whose grandmother is a fortuneteller. Nassar has done a comic role for a difference.

Technical and Other Departments:
Dookudu has been released with huge hype with peak high expectations. The film is a Srinu Vytla’s brand entertainer Mahesh carries of the film on his shoulders with his dialogues, comic-timing, fights, dance and his charisma. He has tried out his best to land the film in the safe zone. Brahmanandam and MS Narayana are other assets for the movie. Srinu Vytla tried to play safe by including all the ingredients of Glamour, sentiment, action, romance and comedy to more extent to make it as an entertaining fare. Unfortunately, the Father-son’s emotionality did not work as it has moved with slow pace. All in All, the first half of Dookudu is pretty good while the second half is average with bit dragging, though had its own engaging moments of humor. Comedy quotient saves Dookudu to a good extent. Don’t expect too high from Dookudu so that you’ll thoroughly enjoy it.

Cinematography is top-rate and the exotic locales in the songs are well-shot. Dialogues by Kona Venkat are additional asset, few of them being hilarious. Thaman’s music is good but the background score could have been much better. Srinu Vytla’s direction was okay but despite roping in Super Star Mahesh, he has made a decent family entertainer without going for novel story. Nevertheless, he showcased Mahesh Babu’s characterization in a new dimension and handled it carefully. A better Screenplay in the second half and slick editing could have made wonders at the Box-Office. Production values of 14 Reels Entertainment banner are good.

Movie Analysis:
First half of the movie sets the plot up and it is entertaining. There are ups and downs in the second half, but the entertainment provided by Mahesh Babu, Brahmanandam and MS Narayana takes care of it. The plus points are Mahesh Babu’s charm, Seenu Vytla’s comedy timing and a workable script. On the flip side, there is a bit of redundancy in villain characterizations. Mahesh Babu delivers an universally acceptable entertainer in the form of Dookudu after a gap of five years. Go and watch it.

Final View:
Dookudu is a good action entertainer that compliments the spirit of this festive season. Contentwise, the film offers nothing new but it provides enough entertainment to keep you engrossed. Mahesh Babu's riveting performance, M S Narayana and Brahmanandam's hilarious comedy, and fine dialogue writing are highlights of the movie. Despite many blemishes, you can enjoy the movie. Go for it.
Its a good film to Watch with your family at this "Dussehra" .

Ram and Hansika New Telugu Film Dhada Movie Review:



After the Big flops it Seems to be Ram Got Some breather, This time Ram New Kandireega has worked. Even though its not mega hit but it will sail smoothly.



Story:

A fun filled tale, the story is about Seenu (ram) who hails from Anakapalli. He is a trouble in the town as he wants to get married but then he is failed graduate. An incident pricks his ego and he decides to finish his graduation. For this, he comes to the city and joins a college. Here, he comes across Sruthi (hansika) and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, a noted goonda and villain Bhavani (sonu sood) is also after Sruthi and he kills anyone who goes near her. A sequence of events gets Seenu to Sruthi with the knowledge of Bhavani. Both of them fall in love but in comes Rajann (jayaprakash reddy), a person ten times powerful than Bhavani. He wants Seenu for a specific reason. What is that reason? Is Seenu successful in his love story? What happens to Bhavani? All this forms the rest of the story.



Artist Performances:

Ram is known as a bundle of energy right from his debut film Devdas. Since his character is from Amalapuram, he spoke in Godavari accent which added fun flavor to his dialogue delivery. He has performed vigorous steps with ease in songs. Ram is one of the fine actors of Telugu cinema who can bring more to the table with his energy and enhance the effectiveness of scenes. He has worked really hard for this movie and it shows up. Hansika Motwani is alright as the leading lady. She has put on a bit of weight. Aksha has done the role of an innocent Telangana girl who doesn’t know what love is. Sonu Sood sparkles in a gangster lover role who has stuttering issues. Swati did a guest role and she is pretty good. Brahmanandam did a cameo that lasts for 5 minutes and he is good. MS Narayana comedy is decent. Jaya Prakash Reddy who is known for famous Rayalaseema accent tries Telangana dialect in this movie.



Technical and Other Departments:

Story of the film is okay though it resembles several films that have come in the past like Gudumba Shankar, Ready and Seetarama Kalyanam Lankalo. The director has added a couple of interesting twists to make this film different. The debutant director Santosh Srinivas handled the subject like a veteran and there is no amateurishness in his work. There are a few good entertaining comedy episodes. The screenplay in second half is interesting though becomes redundant towards end. The narration is little slow. There are too many subplots in the movie. Music by Thaman is good in parts. Background music is decent. Dialogues by Rajendra Kumar are nice (There is a funny one: vaadu aavuliste pegulu lekka pedathadu - mari doodaliste?). Cinematography by Andrew is good. The editing is ok. Fights by Stun Siva are effective. Production values are good.



Analysis:

Kandireega marks the debut of cinematographer Santosh Srinivas as director. The young director with the help of writer Kona Venkat plays the safe game - using time-tested elements like comedy, action and glamour in right proportions and incorporating dialogues that get claps and whistles from mass audiences. It is more of a mix of director Srinu Vytla brand of comedy and Vinayak's formula of mass elements. Especially the scenes of Chandramohan, M S Narayana, etc entering the house of Rajanna in the second half reminds you the scenes of Srinu Vytla's Ready. Ram with his energetic histrionics, performance makes the movie an entertainer.



Telugu audiences have seen these kind of movies and scenes umpteen times, yet Kandireega doesn't give you boredom. That is where Kandireega scores. Though first half is breezy and entertaining, second half moves on predictable end and it is lengthy. Length of the film is a big problem.



Final View:

Don't expect freshness from the film but if you are looking for time-pass entertainer, Kandireega satisfies you. Kandireega is Xerox copy of super hit Ready and other commercial entertainers, yet it provides enough comedy.

Naga Chaitanaya New Telugu film Dhada Movie Review:



Finally The winning stream was stopped. Its time for Flop Show. Yes after watching the dhada movie everyone will agree with this Argument. Naga chaitanya and Kajal Agarwal New Film Dhada was failed in all department.And it gaved big flop to hole film unit. Director Ajay Bhuyan was faied to convience the Audience. He should be careful for his next film.



Story:

When coming in to the story, A dry tale, the story begins with Vishwas (Chaitu) who completes his studies in the US and lives with his brother and sister-in-law (sriram, sameeksha). One day, Vishwas comes across Priya (kajal) and he falls in love with her. He begins to woo her and wins her heart finally. Meanwhile, an unexpected incident gets Vishwas into a clash with the men of two noted dons (rahul dev, Kelly dorjee). And to add to the twist, Priya's wedding gets fixed with a rich industrialist. How does Vishwas come out of all this forms the rest of the story.



Artist Performances:

Naga Chaitanya comes up with a decent effort and does his bit as required. Kajal Agarwal's real beauty is not seen in this one due to poor makeup, poor styling. Rahul Dev looks sharp but his character was not etched strongly. Same is the case with Kelly Dorjee. Sriram looks handsome and makes his presence felt wherever required. Sameeksha looks seductive and was contained. Brahmi was annoying, Ali was just okay, Tanikella came and went. Mukesh Rishi was grossly underutilized. The others didn't have much say.



Technical and Other Departments:

The director has come up with a rehashed storyline and while the presentation was routine, the narrative was predictable. The dialogues were very weak, the script was below average while the screenplay was shoddy. Background score was poor but two songs were not upto the mark. Cinematography was patchy. Editing was having many jerks. Costumes were stylish while the art department was rich.This was Failed in all departments.



Analysis:

Even before the film released, there was a negative vibe about the film. Some even said that's why enough publicity was not given. Anyways, it appears that the vibe is indeed true. While the first half doesn't even get into the actual story, the second half looks disjointed without any depth or appeal. If only the makers worked on the emotional intensity, comedy, the film would have worked. At the box office, it is hard for anyone to like this film due to its weak content. So, success is very unlikely.



Final View:

Its is very big dissapointing Film watch it, if you have enough guts!!!!

SEGA MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: Sega(Telugu)
Cast: Nani, Karthik Kumar, Bindu Madhavi,Nithya Menon
Director: Anjana Ali Khan
Producer: Ashok Vallabhaneni
Banner: Mana Desam Movies
Music: Joshua Sridhar
Release Date : 29 july 2011
Rating: 2.5 / 5

Nani New telugu film Sega Movie review:
After Ala Modaliendi Nani got good craz in tollywood . He never felt that carz by his new film sega.The Nitya Menon and Nani Combination Had worked again. Even though its not a mega hit but it will sails smoothly.

Story:
Karthik (Nani) and Vishnu (Karthik Kumar) are two friends who come from a poor background. All is well for them until Vishnu falls head over heels for a call girl Vani (Bindu Madhavi). She is in possession of Karthik’s pimp father and Karthik agrees to do a drug deal with him on a condition that he will free Vani from the business. Karthik doesn’t like the idea of drug dealing but agrees to do it for his friend. Things go out of these commoners hands and they face terrible situations. How they get over the problems is what sums up Sega.

Artist Performances:
Nani is completely natural while playing the character of Karthik. He has shown different variations like a brother, lover and also a close friend to Vishnu in the best way possible. Karthik Kumar as Vishnu did his best. Nithya Menon performed well on her limits but her character has a limited scope while Bindu Madhavi is the show stealer as she got into the skin of the character of a prostitute. Rest of the casts were ok.


Technical and Other Departments:
Music by Joshua Sridhar is impressive. Three songs are good and the background score is Okay. Om Prakash’s Cinematography is very good. He establishes the rustic side of life in Chennai very well. Anthony’s editing is alright. Art department is up to the mark too.
Director Anjana is a good technician but lacks the skills to make a taut crime thriller. She needs to sharpen her script writing skills to become a successful director. Her efforts are to be commended for making a masculine film when she could always play an escapist with candyfloss film in the name of being a female.

Movie Analysis:

Sega is made with the backdrop of North Madras showcasing the dark side of drugs and Prostitution. However, you don’t get a particular clarity as Sega is strictly related to which genre? A dark film or a love story or a thriller? The story is a bit confusing. The first half has nothing to offer except some breezy moments with a thin storyline while the entire second half moves on a predictable note which takes away the interest of the audiences. Predictable story, confusing narration and ineffective direction played as a spoilsport for Sega.

Final View:

Sega is a serious film with a dark subject so it will have only selective audience.

Vikram New Telugu Film Nanna Movie Review:
This time Vikram Comes with new subject Nanna and its a fully character role. Actor like a vikram character roles very suitable. infact he desirves that. She never dissapointed the Audiance in his new Film. She got bag a hit after a big failure of Villan.

Story:
well coming into the Story,Mentally challenged Krishna (Vikram) works in a chocolate factory near Ooty and his wife dies after the birth of a child. The child becomes his world and names her Vennela (Sara). When Vennela joins the school, Krishna's father-in-law comes to know about the child and he takes Vennela with him. With the help of a lawyer Anu (Anushka), Krishna fights for the custody of his daughter with his father-in-law.

Artist Performance:
Vikram comes up with another spellbinding performance as a mentally-challenged person. You will see only the character in this movie. He looks very cute despite playing a uncomfortable character. He is bound to win awards for his phenomenal portrayal. Baby Sarah has done a terrific work. She dominated Vikram at times. She is helped by a beautiful characterization. Anushka is pretty good in a supporting role. Amala Paul resembles Deepika Padukone in a few angles and she is perfect. Nassar and Sachin Khedekar have done justice.

Technical and Other Departments:
Story - screenplay - direction: The story of this film is loosely inspired by the Hollywood flick ‘I am Sam’. It has a nice story line. Director Vijay is sensible and has a class of his own. It reflects in the way he narrated the story and in the way he seamlessly blended humor. There is a nice feel throughout the movie. Screenplay in the second half is pretty good. It is very difficult to succeed in sustaining interest when the entire second half is dominated by the court scenes. There are many scenes in this movie (especially father-daughter combination one) that are heart-touching. Director Vijay succeeds in narrating the story in interesting way without falling prey for the commercial elements.
Music by GV Prakash Kumar complements the mood of the movie. None of the songs look forced. Cinematography by Nirav Shah is excellent. I loved the way the scooter song is canned with slow-mo camera. The story-telling song is highly creative. The sets are realistic (especially the chocolate factory and court-room interiors). Editing is fine. Dialogues are neat and heart-touching at times. Producers Malla Vijay Prasad and Santosham Suresh risked a bit and it is worth it.


Analysis:
Beginning of the film is slow. First half of the film is neat though lengthy and devoid of story. Second half is pacy with good screenplay and drama. Plus points of the film are performances (Vikram and Baby Sarah), second half screenplay and classy direction. On the flip side the first half of the film needs trimming as it’s too lengthy. On a whole, Nanna is a decent film with nice sentiment. The success of the movie will depend on the mouth talk and how the family crowds in A/B centers patronize it.

Final View:
Nanna touches your heart with tender moments in the second half. It engulfs you in emotional mood towards the climax. A bit slow flick but very touchy. If you are looking for entertainment, then it doesn't offer any that you seek but if you are in mood to watch for a sweet and endearing movie, then get a date with this.

Siddharth New telugu Film 180 Movie Review:

After the big disaster of Bava Siddharth had a big hopes on this film. But it seems to be not worked so far that great. Its a average Film. He tried Different Subject to Convience the Audience. But Only Some how it worked.

Story:
A complicated tale, the story begins with Ajay (siddarth) who takes up a rented portion in a residential locality in Hyderabad. In no time, he gets close to those around by helping them in all ways. His unusual acts of service catch the attention of photo journalist Vidya (nithya) and she wants to know more about him. She becomes friends and in no time falls in love with him. However, Ajay who seems to carry an emotional baggage has a past that he is dealing with and a future he has to live with. The past has Renuka (priya anand) and it happens in the US. Why did Ajay come to India? Who is he? What happened to Renuka? What happens to Vidya's love? All this forms the rest of the story.


Artist Performance:
Siddharth comes up with a natural and mature performance in the role that has got multiple shades. Priya Anand surprises you with her looks and acting prowess in this movie. She has a major portion in the movie and the director projected her from the best of the angles. Nitya Menen is natural. Mouli, Tanikella Bharani and Geetha are good in supporting roles.

Technical and Other Departments:
The basic story has reference to a couple of Telugu films. Jayendra has a refined sense of humor and it reflects very well in the first half of the movie. If you are a class film lover, you will get impressed with first half despite snail-paced narration. Jayendra has created confusion and redundancy while narrating the last half-an-hour of the movie. The last half-an-hour forms the crux of the movie. The narration and direction of the movie is suave and sophisticated. The screenplay should have been better towards the end of the movie.
Since Jayendra comes from advertising field and technical background (QUBE projection), he made sure that look and feel of the film is superior. Each and every frame in this movie is like a photo frame. Music (songs and background music) by Sharath is very good. Cinematography by Bala Subramaniem is of top notch quality. The RED camera work is as good as any regular camera that is used to shoot feature films. Locations are superb. Dialogues by Anuradha Umarji are nice. The entire film looks slick in terms of visuals and sound.

Movie Analysis:
The film happens to be a bilingual and there was no feeling that it was done in another language also. As such, the intention of the makers was nice but then such subjects require deft handling of the script and deep emotional dose to get the audience into the story. While the first half was smooth with some dose of humour and good songs, the second half gets quite twisted and the last half hour is quite tricky. Overall, this is a film which scores on technical values and will draw mixed reactions for its content. At the box office, this could be an average to above average grosser.

Final View:
180 is like designer dress that is chic and good for eyes. It has poetic touch but 180 fails on writing especially in screenplay department of the movie towards the climax. It drags on in the second half. And it also reminds of several other recent movies.

its a Different Film but just passable..

Arya and Vishal New Film Vaadu Veedu Movie Review:

This time Director Bala Was Failed To Convince the Audience by his new film, Vishal and Arya had Great expectation on this film it seems to be a Dissapointed one.

Story:
A petty thief Dhandaal Swamy (Arya) and his half-brother Walter (Vishal) don't gel well with each other, in fact, they are always at each other's throat. But both of them have high regard towards an erstwhile Jamindar Highness (G M Kumar). Squint-eyed Walter aspires to become an artiste and does stage plays and road shows to fulfill his artistic thirst. He develops soft corner towards a lady constable Baby (Janani Iyer) and while Dhandaal Swamy falls for the charms of a student (Madhu Shalini). One day, Highness stops a cattle smuggler (RK) and calls the police. That cattle smuggler takes revenge which leads into a bloody climax.

Artist Performance:
The film belongs to Vishal completely for his impeccable performance and his intense act, he was too good. Arya was quite toned down in this and he clicked wherever required. G M Kumar was excellent, Janani Iyer was natural, Madhu Shalini looked innocent and made her presence felt. Vignesh was apt. Ambica and Prabha were upto the mark. The character doing the villain's role was okay.

Technical and Other Departments:
The director has come up with a variety storyline and while the presentation was great, the narrative was capturing. The dialogues were rural, the script was average but the screenplay was gripping. Background score was excellent but only two songs were good. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was required during critical situations. Costumes were realistic while the art department was awesome.

Analysis:
The film happens to be the dubbed version of the Tamil movie Avan Ivan and despite that, there is no feel of a dubbed flick. While the first half goes about mildly with few elements of comedy and romance, the real tempo picks up during the second half and there is drama, intensity and action. Overall, this is a film which is good in technical values and narration but suffers badly due to lack of proper storyline and content. At the box office, this may not strike success due to its genre and it has potential to shine at film festivals and art flick circuits.

Final View:
Its a Different Film and offbeat, not for regular audience

Allu Arjun New Telugu Film Badrinath Movie Review:

The much awaited film of Allu Arjun Badrinath finally hit the screens today. The film has been in the making for almost two years. Allu Arjun trained hard for his sumo warrior like look in the film.The expectations on the film are very high. Let us see how far Vinayak and co. have managed to live up to the expectations.

Story:
The film opens on a grand note with story about the destruction of temples in India over the ages by invaders. Then the attention is turned on to the attack on the famous Akshardham temple.So religious heads meet and confer on how to save the sacred temples in India from destruction at the hands of terrorists. It is decided that young boys must be selected and then trained under the guidance of the Takhsaila chief Bhishmanarayan (Prakash Raj).Bhadri (Allu Arjun) son of Tanieklla Bharani and Kovai Sarala is chosen by Prakash Raj as he has all the qualities to become a ?Kshetra Palaka?. All the boys undergo rigorous training and finally are ready to take up the job of kshetra palakas.Prakash Raj then asks each of them to pick up a slip that will denote the sacred place that they will be assigned to guard. Allu Arjun gets Badrinath. He then moves to Badrinath and starts his work as kshetra palaka.At this time Alakananda (Tamanna) comes to Badrinath with her grandfather. She does not believe in god as her parents had died in a fire mishap in a temple. Badrinath with his behaviour and acts manages to make Alakananada turn into a believer again.

Alakananada falls in love with Badrinath but he does not know it. She says that she wants to marry her lover so Badrinath helps her get a ?Brahmakamlam? and offer it to lord Badrinath before the temple closes for winter.Badri tells Alakananada that her wish will be fulfilled if she visits again after six months when the temple reopens and has a darshan of the ?Akhanda Jyothi? and lord Badrinath.However there is a hurdle in the form of bad guy Sarkar (Kelly Dorjee). He is the husband of Tamanna?s father?s sister. She wants to teach Tamanna a lesson for insulting her and so plans to get Tamanna married to her son.At this time Prakash Raj wants to make Badrinath his successor at Takshasila. For this, Badrinath has to remain a brahmachari all his life. The rest of the story is whether the belief of Tamanna and lakhs of devotees that offering Brahmakamalam to lord Badrinaht will fulfill their wish is real?Badrinath is committed to stick to the word given to his guru Prakash Raj that he will obey his each and every command. What happens in the end is the suspense element in the film.

Artist Performance:
Allu Arjun has put in a lot of effort for his role in the film. He fights well and also dances very well. However his dialogue delivery is not effective and this mars the impact considerably. He is believable in his sumo wrestler type get up.Tamanna is there only for adding glamour to the film. She achieves this with a more than fair amount of skin show. Prakash Raj is adequate as Takshasila chief Bhishmanarayan. However his wig and beard look very artificial and unconvincing.Kelly Dorjee is his usual self. Brahmanandam, MS Narayana, Dharmavarapu manage to raise some laughs but their comedy track is similar to that one has seen in Indra, only the location has changed ? it was Kasi in Indra and it is Badrinath in Badrinath. Raghu Babu, Tanikella Bharani, Rao Ramesh, Kovai Sarala and others appear in brief roles.

Technical And Other Departments:
The Film Technically Good and Rich with Budget of 50 crores any film give rich outlook. The Background Score and Music of M.M Keeravani is Average. The Screenplay was average Some shots in the film looks pacthy and Cinematography was good. The camera work was good. Locations and Sets was gave good look to the songs.

Analysis:
Director VV Vinayak gave the impression that the film Badrinath is a religious and spiritual film but it is not so. Badrinath is only used as a prop and a backdrop for a film that actually revels around a boy and a girl ? Allu Arjun and Tamanna.
So while there is a grand beginning at Badrinath the film slowly peters out and some of the action shifts to Bellary ? the home place of villain Kelly Dorjee.Allu Arjun?s dances are good and he also fights well. There is a lot of violence in the film with limbs and heads being chopped off every now and then. The storyline is thin. The screenplay is racy in the first half but it slows down completely in the second half. Music is good in parts. There are five duets in the film and all of them have Tamanna dressed up in skimpy costumes.

Final View:
V Vinayak is clearly confused. He tries to make a film with a religious touch but goes off track with a story about Tamanna and her problems. There is a distinct effort on the director?s part to play SAFE. So, he has included many duets that are pure masala stuff but a little out of place in the context of the film.

Badrinath in the end turns out to be an average and routine mass masala film. There is no chance of the film beating Rajamouli?s Maghadheera.

Ravi Teja New Telugu Film Veera Movie Review:

AFter the Mirapaky Ravi Had A Big Expectation On This film . But it seems to be not worked So far That Big. Even though the Ramesh Varma Came From New Story line But it look like the Audience was Rejected the Director Ramesh Varma's New Concept.

Story:
Well, the story begins with a honest and tough cop Shyam Sunder (shyam) who gets into a fight with a dreaded bad guy (rahul dev). This results in enmity and the villain targets Shyam's family. The police sends Veera (Ravi teja) as the security officer for Shyam and his family. Here, Veera comes across Aikey (taapsee) who falls in love with him and he doesn't reciprocate to her. On the other hand, Shyam's wife (sridevi) keeps behaving rudely with Veera. The story takes a turn when Shyam discovers that Veera is not the government appointed officer. What is Veera's background? Why he comes as the security officer? All this forms the rest of the story.

Artist Performance:
Ravi Teja shouldered the film well with his multi-faceted performance. Kajal Agarwal looks more spicy than cute. Taapsee gives a visual feast with ample skin show. Shyam looks handsome and gives a commendable performance, Sridevi looks naturally beautiful and did an okay job, Pradeep Rawath was noisy, Brahmanandam was boring, Divya Vani was annoying, Ali was normal, Venu Madhav was below average. The others didn't have much to offer.

Technical and Other Departments:
The dialogues were weakly written, the script was written without much grip and the screenplay was below average. Background score was nice and three songs were good. Cinematography was fitting. Editing was required during critical situations. Costumes were trendy while the art department was matching the situations and looked apt.

Movie analysis:
The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was nice, the narrative was bad. The film takes off on a fast note but in no time the momentum comes down due to some really poor comedy and silly scenes. While the first half gets stretched with all this, things get even more difficult during the second half. As such, there is nothing interesting in the film which the audience can connect to. At the box office, the openings might be bright due to the star power and songs but this will fizzle out in no time.

Final View:

On the Whole The Film is a Disappointing one !!

Naga Chaithanya and Tammana New Telugu Film 100% Love Movie Review:
Well Its seems to be Chaithanaya had big hopes on this film, Director Sukumar Doesnt disaapoint the Chaithnaya And His Fans . Although Its was an Average Film. But It will Work on the Screen.

Story:
Balu Mahendra (Naga Chaitanya) is top ranking student. His maradalu (uncle's daughter) Mahalakshmi (Tamannah), comes from village to stay with his family and study in Hyderabad so that she can get good marks in studies. Balu is sort of narcissist and doesn't like if other students get top rank. With the help of Balu, Mahalakshmi studies well and surprisingly stands as college topper which irks him. Slowly they fall in love but fail to express it. When the time comes to express their feelings to each other, ego problems erupt. They part ways and soon engage to different persons. Rest of the movie is about how they realize their true feelings.

Artist Performance:
Naga Chaitanya who has done the role of an intense lover in YMC follows it up with a fun-filled character of Balu with a mental complex in 100% Love. He wore spectacles and a light beard and it suited the character very well. It is tailor-made character for him. His diction and accent is also changed in this film and it sounds little like that of Allu Arjun.

Tamanna looks fabulous in the movie. Her traditional hairdo in the beginning of the movie is not attractive, but she is gorgeous when she lets her hair loose in the latter part of the movie, She is an asset to the movie. Sukumar has shown bias towards heroine character in this movie as he etched her role as a magnanimous, understanding and empathising girl.
KR Vijaya and Vijay Kumar did the role of grandparents. There are around 10 kids who entertain you will their mischief and innocence in the first half. Satyam Rajesh did a cameo and it is really good. MS Narayana did his second most preferred character (after drunkard) - college principal. Anand and Tara Alisha are good as beaus of lead pair. Naresh and Dharmavarapu Subramanyam are okay.

Technical And Other Departments:
Although the film is entirely shot on interiors, cinematography by Prasad is not at all good. Especially the slow-motion scenes that are made at 500 Frames Per Second look patchy. Devi Sri Prasad's songs are good to ear and foot tapping but they are not good on screen. Yet, songs of 'Infatuation' and 'Diyyallo Diyyallo' stand out. As a writer of the movie, Sukumar succeeds in parts. As a director, he proves again that he has great visual flair but he's slowly losing grip on taut narrative skills.

Analysis:
The film comes across with a rather stylish look and the essence of love and relationship is dealt in a neat way. While the first half passes off breezily with good dose of humour, drama and romance the second half slows down in momentum due to melodrama and stale sentiments. Overall, the film is rich in technical and production values while content are good in parts. At the box office, this will appeal to the youth audience largely while the family audience will have mixed reactions. Overall, this could be an above average grosser.

Final View:
100 % Love offers some lovely situations, some time pass entertainment in the first half. Second half runs on predictable manner but it also some 'touchy moments'. The film has many blemishes and but on the whole, it has ingredients that appeal to youth audiences better.

Its a good Film To watch this weekend.

Rana Daggbati New Telugu Film Nenu Naa Rakshasi Movie Review:
After Leader Rana Had Big Hopes on this Film. But It seems to be Not Worked So Far That Big to Rana. Even though Ileana Hot Shots will not helped the film. But the rana was improved very much From His Debut Film.

Story:
A professional killer Abhi (Rana) falls off for the charms of a beauty Meenkashi (Ileana) who works at a cafeteria. A rowdy harasses her and Abhi kills the guy too. On the other hand, a person is secretly uploading videos of people who kill themselves on to you tube. The person turns out to be Meenakshi. And a police officer (Subbaraju) is on the look out for the person who is uploading these videos. What makes Abhi turn into a professional killer? And what prompts Meenakshi to upload these videos? And how does their love story begin? These questions are revealed in the later part of the story.

Artist Performance:
Rana has tall body and is easy on eyes but he lacks performance skills. He looked good in his debut movie Leader because of that subtle characterization whereas this role requires high energy levels, which he lacks. Style wise, he's okay. Ileana looks gorgeous in songs and she also performs well in some key scenes. Abhimanyu Singh as villain, Subbaraju as cop, and Kota in a cameo appearance do justice to their roles.

Technical and Other Departments:
Production quality is good, over all commercial aspects seem to be in place, but Puri has swallowed more than he can chew in this film. Four characters in the film portray four different takes on life and death (essentially suicide). That is essentially four stories in one film. Sincerely if Puri had attempted one straight story he would have done some justice. This is way beyond his capacities. Music Was Average.

Analysis:
Off-beat film with a lot of confusing ideas thrown in! The suicide theme for the film is suicidal. In an era and time when the normal human being has little time to contemplate on life, where is the time to contemplate on death? Audiences expect fun and thrill in films, that this film fails to provide. Rana has been promoting this film as an off-beat one, a film which has a different story in a commercial format. He even insisted that Ileana's presence in the film was to heighten the commercial aspects of this essentially far removed film. Is the film really so, is it a film which is really off-beat made in a commercial format? In a way yes, but to expect people to understand suicides and suicidal tendencies in this format of a film is expecting too much. The film fails to explore all the aspects of this complex issue.

Final Veiw:

Though Puri picks up novel storyline, the movie is hardly digestible to regular audiences. Discerning audiences can see the merits in the first half, but again the second half spoils all the brownie points it has in the beginning. As the film progresses, Nenu Naa Rakashasi gets dreary and monotonous. A very eccentric thought told in bad way.
