Ramu (Sunil) loses his father in faction feuds in a village in Rayalaseema, so his mother takes him away from Rayalaseema to save her son. He grows up in Hyderabad and after his mother’s death, he tries hard to meet ends. One day, he receives a notice from the village to claim 5 acres of land, so he boards a train to the village. On board, he meets a beautiful girl Aparna (Saloni) who happens to be daughter of Ramineedu (Nagineedu). Ramineedu has been waiting to kill Ramu for years, as Ramu’s father killed Ramineedu’s brother. Aparna and Ramu become friends and Ramu comes to her house, there he learns that Ramineedu would kill him off he steps out of this house. Rest of drama is all about how Ramu saves his life.

Analysis

Three cheers to director Rajamouli, the top director of commercial entertainers in Tollywood. With Maryada Rammanna, he proves once again that he is capable of creating magic with any script or any star or non-star. Although Maryada Ramanna is complete departure from his style of films, starring a comedian as lead hero, he weaves a drama that glues the audiences to the seats without distraction. At 2 hours 10 Minutes, the film interests you till the last minute with focused narration. Near to one hour, the film runs revolves around a single house and yet you don’t feel bored. There Rajamouli triumphs completely as director and screenplay writer. Although there is not much entertainment or comedy, the narration holds the interest and puts you on guessing game how would the hero come out from the tricky position he is in and saves his life.

It is entirely Rajamouli’s film. You don’t find double meaning dialogues and excessive gore (although there is plenty of action and swords, fights, chases). Rather Rajamouli focuses on the suspense and tense moments. With some good songs by Keeravani and superb background score, the director turns the simple story into an engrossing movie.

As a narrator, what Rajamouli does best is not deviating from the plot and not inserting unnecessary comedy track by other comedians. He should be commended for it.

However, Maryada Ramanna is not devoid of minor flaws. It lacks comedy, the supposed comedy on Sunil and his antics, with bicycle talking is not that funny. And doesn’t have any awe-inspiring moments that we regularly find in Rajamouli’s movies. Other than those, Marayada Ramanna is clean fun and good fast-paced entertainer.

Performances

For any actor, shouldering a movie to almost 2 hour run time, a tough task. Especially the actor is not charismatic. But Sunil with his innocent looks and sincere performance holds the movie. He looks agile after reducing weight drastically. He doesn’t do much comedy but his expressions and the tension that he evokes is perfect. Sunil can now be a bankable lead actor.

Saloni is cute with her expressive eyes. She looks glamorous and a good pair to Sunil. Nagineedu in the role of a faction feud has right looks but his performance is not that effective. Brahmaji seems more of an uncle to Saloni than Bava. Rest of the cast is okay. Ravi Teja has lent voice to a bicycle in his typical manner.

One expects a Rajamouli’s film to be visually grand and the film doesn’t fail on it. Ram Prasad gives best output for a small film (one shot where Sunil is put up in a room, and camera is seen from the key hole angle is superb). Artwork by Ravinder is good. As the most of the movie runs in the house, his set of the house has enough space and more rooms to make the drama effective. Keeravani always give best output to Rajamouli’s movies and for Maryada Ramanna all his songs are melodious. Especially the background score and some bit songs are terrific. Production values for a low-budget movie are good. Writer S S Kanchi’s dialogues are apt for the movie. It is entirely Rajamouli’s show and he does his best. As a director, he is topnotch.

Bottom-line
Rajamouli has crafted a movie that not only elevates his name and fame but also gives paisa vasool entertainment to the audiences. Maryada Ramanna is fast-paced drama with tense moments. Sunil’s performance, good camera work, superb music and Rajamouli’s perfect narrative skills are plus points of the movie. Enjoy it.

Rating: 3.5/5

Inspiration

The film’s basic plot is taken from Our Hospitality (1923), a Hollywood silent movie. But they adopted it so effectively.

What’s it about!

Ashok Deva (Arjun) becomes a don in Mumbai after fighting against a mafia leader. Soon he loses his wife in the fight in mafia rival killings, so he leaves the city and lands in a village on the banks of Godavari in Andhra Pradesh. He stays in the village along with his sister Priya (Priya Anand). And the village head’s son Rama Krishna (Ram) falls in love with Priya and in one of his encounters with another mafia don, he comes to know the real story of Ashok Deva. How street smart Rama Krishna solves the problems in the end forms rest of the story.

Analysis!

Biggest problem with so-called mass-masala action entertainers in Telugu is that they lack proper script. Most directors just mix several blockbusters together and write one or two interesting scenes (for them ‘blocks’), and try to put them in new bottle (in new cans). Director Sri Vaas, who made debut with ‘Lakshyam’, has done the same: he tried to rehash Rajnikant starrer Basha with other commercial hits of Telugu films. None of the scenes – heroine falling in love with hero after initial misunderstanding, a maradalu chasing bava for love, a father scolding hero, a mother supporting him, a brother behaving like a dummy, a gang of friends praising the hero - are novel. Everything is predictable and routine. Where the director has succeeded is that he didn’t put audiences in guessing the next scene as everyone easily tell what follows the next.

Sri Vaas’s first Lakshyam was also predictable mass flick but it had ‘sentiment and emotional’ backdrop to hold the audiences’ interest. Here it doesn’t work. A very tedious exercise in making another masala fare.

Performances

Ram is known for bringing high energy on to the screen. He does justice to his role. Arjun has not much length of role but he has brought dignity to the character. Priya Anand as the main heroine is okay. Bindu Madhavi plays unimportant second lead but it is nice to see Telugu speaking girls playing the lead roles. Gracy Singh as Arjun’s wife in a brief role is okay. Brahamanandam has tried to provide comic relief.

NTR has provided an introductory voice-over but that hardly has any scope for a big star like NTR to narrate it. A big hero like NTR should accept such obligations only when his voice brings some value to the film/story, as it was in the case of Mahesh Babu doing for Jalsa and Amitabh’s for Lagaan, other wise it would remain just a gimmick like what Chiru did for Varudu.

Technically too the film doesn’t score much brownie points. Sekhar V Joseph’s has done what is required for the film through his lenses. For a 200th movie, one expects better musical score from M M Keeravani. His songs are uninspiring. Ratnam’s dialogues are adequate. Action stunts (by Vijay) are good but they are too lengthy. Director Sri Vaas has failed both as story writer (by rehashing from several scenes) and as director to sustain the interest. Probably second movie syndrome! Producer Dil Raju has put on lot of expenditure to make the film grandeur but he should have concentrated on script than providing budget.

Bottom-line!

Rama Rama Krishna Krishna is an attempt to put old wine in new bottle but both bottle and the wine are not attractive. An outdated script with predictable narration.

Bala Krishna's 'Simha' Movie Review (As Per Web Sources) 0

Media Club Member | 5:45 AM | ,

Film: Simha
Cast: Balakrishna, Nayanatara, Namita, Sneha Ullal, Brahmanandam, Jhansi, Venu Madhav, Ali, Dharmavarapu, and others
Music: Chakri
Cinematography: Wilson
Editing: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao
Art: A S Prakash
Produced by: Paruchuri Kiriti
Story, screenplay, dialogues and directed by: Boyapati Srinu
Release date: April 30, 2010
CBFC Rating: U/A


What’s it about!
Sreemannarayana (Balakrishna) is a lecturer in a college in Hyderabad but he doesn’t tolerate any injustice and bashes up the wronged guys. A voluptuous female colleague (Namita) loves him, and so does Janaki (Sneha Ullal) who Sreemannarayana saves from goons. When a rowdy (Aditya Menon) from Vizag comes to take away Janaki from Sreemannarayana, a flashback is revealed. 30 years ago, in Bobbili, a family of landlords treats the local people as slaves and kills if anyone revolts against them. Enters a foreign-returned doctor Narasimha (Balakrishna) belonging to the Bobbili royal dynasty to save the people. Within no time, he takes law into his hands and becomes savior, but he and his wife (Nayanatara) are killed in a fight in the end. It is now Sreemannarayana’s job to finish the mission.

Analysis
It has been six long years since Balakrishna delivered a hit. His last blockbuster was Lakshmi Narasimha (2004). All the movies that came during this period disappointed his fans and general audiences alike. But his fans can rejoice now. Balakrishna’s latest flick Simha is packed with right commercial ingredients to satisfy them. Although the film has nothing new to tell, second half is packaged well. Soul and highpoint of the film is scenes involving the second Balakrishna’s character - that of a doctor. Though violence is excessive, action episodes and editing is fine. And also Balakrishna looking ferocious again in key scenes has elevated the movie. High-voltage action-dialogues is his forte and he does it with finesse this time.

First half is mediocre; second half saves the movie. For die-hard fans of Balakrishna, Simha entertains to the core. For other audiences, it seems an average fare. On the whole, it is a better film for Balakrishna in the long time.

Performances
Balakrishna looks good in the role of doctor. Unlike his regular movies, he is restrained and yet very ferocious when required. He has also tried to come up with some steps in songs. Nayanatara as a jamindari wife looks royal and beautiful. Her role is minuscule but makes impact. While Namita looks unappealing in her oversized figure, Sneha Ullal appears like a kid in front of Balakrishna. K R Vijaya as grandmother is okay. Aditya Menon and Malayalam Sukumar as antagonists are perfect. Kota Srinivas Rao once again shows how good an actor he is. Comedians like Venumadhav, Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu, and Krishna Bhagawan try hard to make us laugh but fail miserably.

Camera work (Wilson and Prasad) is first rate. Music by Chakri is also good. Editing is nice. Director Boyapati has tried to play safe with the same time-tested mass elements that are seen in films like Narasimha Naidu, Samara Simha Reddy and Magadheera.

Bottom-line!
After a long time, Balakrishna’s movie comes with right commercial ingredients. Second half is asset to Balakrishna’s Simha. On the whole the film is a pucca commercial entertainer.

Rating: 3/5

Darling Movie review (As per Web Sources) 0

Media Club Member | 4:43 AM | ,

Film: Darling
Cast: Prabhas, Kajal, Shradhdha Das, Prabhu, Kota Srinivas Rao, Chandra Mohan, Mukesh Rishi, Ahuti Prasad, MS Narayana, Sivannarayana, Tulasi
Dialogues: Swami
Music director: GV Prakash
Cinematography: Andrew
Editing: Kotagiri
Action: Peter Heins
Produced by: BVSN Prasad
Story, screenplay and directed by: Karunakar
Release Date: Apr 23, 2010
CBFC Rating: U

What’s it about!

Prabhas (Prabhas) is a happy-go-lucky youth and adores his father (Prabhu) who dotes on him. One day, a girl (Sraddha Das), proposes to him and when he rejects her she tries to commit suicide. Her father (Mukesh Rishi), a dada, kidnaps his friends and demands Prabhas to get married to his daughter. Then, Prabhas narrates a story that he is in love with a girl Nandini (Kajal) in Switzerland and she is now in coma as she met with an accident. With this tragic story, the dada excuses him. Later, it is revealed that it is just an imaginative story created by Prabhas to escape the situation but suddenly in his real life too, a Nandini (Kajal), his child hood friend, enters into his life. Then his life changed forever.

Analysis

Director Karunakaran is known for presenting feel-good films with wafer-thin storyline. He does the same again with this Darling. Nothing new in the script but the film’s second half evokes some interest among the viewers thanks to some sentiment scenes. Prabhas’s dashing looks, Andrew’s eye catching visuals and second half scenes are the only praiseworthy. The film also lacks entertainment and songs are another big drawback. Don’t expect too much. Pretty ordinary flick, solely relying on star factors. The director has been stuck in Toliprema days (his debut film), so you hardly see any novel thing in presentation except the marvelous CG song of snow drenched Hyderabad ala Switzerland.
Performances

Dashing Prabhas looks handsome. His costumes are trendy and his look appeals to the youth. He has shouldered the film with his sincere performance and some entertaining antics. Young boys surely fall in love with Kajal’s great looks in this film. She looks gorgeous. In the role of Hanmanthu, a jolly modern father, Tamil actor Prabhu’s performance is exhilarating. He brings charm to several scenes. Sraddha Das appears in another miniscule character. Rest of the cast is okay.

Among the technicians, all the credit should go to Andrew. He has already proved his mettle in Karunkaran’s earlier film, Ullasanga Utsahanga and his work in the film a notch above. Eye-catching visuals and perfect D.I are what make the film pleasant in otherwise dull movie. G.V.Prakash’s music is neither good to ears nor carries the mood on screen. His work is drawback. Editing is fine. So is Peter Hiens’s work. Producer BVSN Prasad who gave Chatrapathi to Prabhas seems to have provided the sky to the director to make the film look grandeur. As a director Karunakran has not proved anything.

Bottom-line!

Darling is plain simple movie with no big twists and turns. Although the film’s central idea of ‘imagined’ character appearing in real life might seem novel but the same idea came in one of Rajashekar’s early movies. On the whole, the film is just time pass flick.

Rating: 3/5

Cast: NTR, Nayana Tara, Shela, Brahmanandam, Asish Vidyardhi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sayaji Shinde, Tanikella Bharani, Raghu Babu, Raghu Karumanchi, Rama Prabha, Kondavalasa, Rajyalakshmi etc

Review

Story:-
Saleem This is the story of twins who get separated at birth. Narasimha (NTR) gets raised by a single mother and he becomes an undercover agent to a top cop. Chari (NTR) is brought up by a family of traditional Hindu priests. A gang of baddies (Asish Vidyardhi and Mahesh Manjrekar) are in search of the family of a top scientist. The rest of the story is about the relationship between the scientist and the twins and the comedy
generated by switching between the characters.


Artists Performance:-
Adurs NTR: NTR donned two roles. He is extremely entertaining as Chari with Brahmin diction. He generated lots of comedy when he says ‘naakesaru’ repeatedly in the movie. His character as Narasimha is more like extension of his Kantri character (both looks and mannerisms). His dances are amazing and give you a mass kick in the title song that comes before climax.

Others:-
Brahmanandam hogs the limelight again in this movie as a Hindu priest who ‘maintains’ the family of Nayana Tara. Brahmanandam has lots of footage and he in combination of NTR makes sure that there is enough entertainment
.Nayana Tara is paired up with Chari character and she is pretty good. Sheela is glamorous and she is paired with Narasimha character. Mahesh Manjrekar is wasted due to poor characterization. Nassar, Sayaji Shinde and Asish Vidyardhi are alright.

Technical departments:-

AdursStory - screenplay - direction: Story given by Kona Venkat is contrived. It is an old-fashioned formulaic story of twins which had been presented to us umpteen number of times (Don, Rowdy Alludu, Mugguru Monagallu, Hello Brother etc). The scientist father angle is inspired by Krishh. The undercover agent had The Departed/Pokiri shades. Screenplay by VV Vinayak should have been better. VV Vinayak who brings emotion into his action films couldn’t do justice to mass character in Adurs. The action sequences and emotion involved in it is not properly established. However, VV Vinayak seems to have acquired a knack for getting his comedy timing well since his last film Krishna. The characterization he has done for Chari character deserves applause. I liked the ‘atma’ (mummy) twist given to Brahmanandam character in the second half. The second half and climax needs a lot of improvement.

Other departments:-
The numbers scored by Devi Sri Prasad are just okay. My personal favourites are ‘where is the panchekattu’ followed by title song. Cinematography by Chota K Naidu is alright. Dialogues by Kona Venkat are good in parts. Editing and other post-production activities should have been better. The graphics work done in this movie is sub-standard compared to big hero projects. Producer Vamsi has spent good amount of money in the movie, but it is not converted into the final product. There is no slickness in visuals and sound.

Analysis:-
First half of the movie is okay with some nice entertainment by NTR (Chari character) and Bramanandam. The second half of the movie where the real crux lies is not constructed well. The three serious villains (Sayaji Shinde, Asish Vidyardhi & Mahesh Manjrekar) of the movie conspire in the second half only to transform themseleves into comedy villains. The climax should have been better. Plus point of the movie is comedy by Chari character. The story and screenplay are the weaklings. VV Vinayak should have concentrated more on Narasimha character to get the balance in terms of emotion and action orientation. We have to wait and see how the masses receive it.

The plot:-
Jr. NTR plays a dual role in the film – that of a Brahmin Chari and another as Narasimha, a daredevil young man who is interested in becoming a police officer. Narasimha works for a top cop Sayaji Shinde and helps him in eliminating gangsters in the city.
The Brahmin guy Chari is a disciple of Bhattu (Brahmanandam). They both make a living by performing pujas and other religious ceremonies. Bhattu is almost 50 years old but he fancies himself as a young man and he runs after the young and beautiful Chandu (Nayanatara). He wants to marry Chandu and so requests Chari to help him in the matter.
However Chandu has other ideas. She falls in love with Chari and asks him to marry him. Bhattu is angry and he wants to take revenge on Chari for backstabbing him in the love matter.
Narasimha and Chari are separated at birth but meet later in Calcutta. The evil gangster Baba (Mahesh Manjrekar) promises the army Major Nazar that he will unite him with his family as soon as he completes his mission of developing the missile.
Sayaji Shinde’s daughter Indu (Sheela) is in love with Narasimha. Baba brings Narasimha to Calcutta to show Nazar that has family is safe. Bhattu who wants to take revenge on Chari plans to eliminate him after he is taken to Calcutta by the gangsters.
The rest of the film is about confused identities and the fight of Narasimha to save his father from the faraway island.

The actors:-

Jr. NTR lives up to the expectations of his fans with superb dances, fights and acting kills. He is good in both the roles. There are however no lengthy trademark Jr. NTR dialogues in the film that he is so famous for.
Brahmanadam appears in a very meaty role and hogs the screen presence almost on par with Jr. NTR. He manages to tickle the funky bone. He gets good support from Jr. NTR, MS Narayana, Mahesh Manjrekar and others.
Nayanatara is hot and Sheela is hotter. The two heroines between themselves fill in the glamour department perfectly.

The bottom line:-
Adhurs has good music by Devi Sree, some stunning dance movements by Jr. NTR, enough fights to please the front benchers. It is only the story that is weak. There is no novelty whatsoever in the story and it only Jr. NTR who makes the film interesting.
The title Adhurs applies just to Jr. NTR, the rest of the film is just average. VV Vinayak has put in a lot of effort but it somehow falls short of expectations and all the pre-release hype surrounding the film.

Movie : Avatar
Rating: 4.5/5
Cast : Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez and others
Directed by : James Cameron
Produced by : Colin Wilson
Banner : Twentieth Century Fox
Music : James Horner
Release Date : 2009-12-18

12 years after Titanic, Director James Cameron delivers his latest master piece and once again takes cinema to the next level.

Story:


The story takes place in the year 2154. Scientists discover a planet named as Pandoro which was inhabited by a race called as Na'vi, a blue-skinned, golden-eyed, 10 feet tall slender giants. Even, the atmosphere is not breathable by humans. Pandora is rich in minerals, which Earth desperately needs.

So, The Army sets a mission to attack the race on Pandora and conquer it. Jake Scully who lost his legs in a war will be recruited because he's a genetic match for a dead identical twin, who an expensive avatar was created for. In avatar state he can walk again, and as his payment for this mission he will be given a very expensive operation to get back his legs. As Jake Scully is a human he will be tranformed into a remotely controlled biological body which is genetically engineered hybrid of human DNA and DNA from the Pandora natives. Jake Scully is sent to Pandora to learn their ways so that he can help relocate them and the humans can take over. Does Jake Scully completes the mission successfully or not forms the rest of the tale.

Plus Points:
Visual Effects
Direction
Performances by the Artists
Hero's Hair Style(changed with every time shift in the movie and looked completely natural)

Minus Points:
Story(Old fashioned tale)

Technical Departments:

Cinematography is of top notch. Production values of the film are grand. Director by James Cameron is extrodinary. The visual effects in the film are brilliant.

Analysis:

Director James Cameron truly created a world of his own, which makes you feel as if you've been transported into a new world while watching the film. Once again, he has silenced the critics by delivering an extraordinary film. Avatar takes us to the planet's boundless, breathtaking collection of natural and unnatural wonders which are presented in the most realistic and immersive 3-D ever witnessed on film. Though the director came up with a lot of original ideas for this film, but the story was not one of them. Overall, Avatar delivers an anti-war message.

Verdict: Avatar is truly a master piece of filmmaking, a step ahead in visual effects that sets new standards. A must-watch film.

Saleem Review ,Story Line 0

Media Club Member | 5:39 AM | ,

Film: Saleem
Banner: Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures
Cast: Vishnu, Ileana, Mohan Babu, Kaveri Jha, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Tanikella Bharani, Hema, MS Narayana, Ali, Raghubabu, Venkat etc
Music: Sandeep Chowta
Art: Anand Sai
Fights: Vijay, Kanal Kannan
Camera: Ram Prasad
Production: Padmasri Mohan Babu
Story, Screenplay Direction: YVS Choudary
Release Date: 12th Dec 2009

Manchu Vishnu’s ‘Saleem’ released today after a long wait. Ileana, the heroine in demand paired up with him. Mohan Babu also played a key role in the film and that attracted the audiences, obviously. Walk into the details to know more…

Essence:
The movie starts with Satyawati (Ileana) and her story in a village backdrop. She is the daughter of Singamanaidu (Napolean), a respectable villager. She comes to the village for a brief vacation and lives amidst all lovable relatives recalling the movies Murari, Athadu, Ninne Pelladatha etc etc (sorry for taking the comparison. This film has no glory close to an iota of those master pieces)!! Like in many other films the hero (Vishnu with character name Munna) arrives in that village and stays along with the family in the disguise of orphan. The story runs with insipid dialogues, stupid screenplay and energy less narration till the interval. And the interval bang has got a twist that rotates the heads of audiences to 360 degrees. I cannot reveal that here as that is the only ‘suspense factor’ in it. And the post interval period is another hard nut to bite. Mohan Babu plays the mafia don OJO (an acronym for Ogirala Joginatham) and he has a duet with Kaveri Jha. The twist in the interval narrates rest of the story line with all confusion and cacophony. Who is Saleem is another part of the story that unwraps in second half. What happened for about 150 minutes will be in question mark at the conclusion of the movie.

Artistes:
Mohan Babu wouldn’t have played this role OJO at all. He has shown a teacher as source of eroticism. The artiste of his age shouldn’t have encouraged the director to demean a female teacher that way. It’s a head-down for entire female teacher community. I feel the teachers in Mohan Babu’s school ‘Sree Vidya Niketan’ would keep their heads down if they identify themselves in Kaveri Jha’s character and their master Mohan Babu in the role he played.

Vishnu has picked up considerably. He is really looking smart with lean look. His face is also showing some glow and young charisma. Dances are also impressive. But he needs to do exercise in voice modulation. He should take a few leaves from his father’s experience for next film.

Ileana is restricted to enticing male crowds through songs. YVS Choudary seems to have crossed the caliber of K Raghavendra Rao in igniting screen to flame with female glamour. But Ileana’s over action while delivering some dialogues is horrible. Kaveri Jha is also used for the glamour factor. But her role is disgusting.

Ali looked promising when he entered the screen as choreographer Gafar Khan. But his rotten country comedy makes decent crowds inconvenient.

Technically the movie is good. The sound effects, action part and cinematography are dealt up to perfection. Music is below average. And the main spirit of the movie is missed by director with erratic screenplay and punch less dialogues.

Underlines:

* Poolu Gusagusaladenani, the old from 1973 ‘Sreevaru Mavaru’ is remixed here and canned on Mohan Babu and Kaveri Jha
* Ramya Sree, the actress known for playing vamp, servant maid and college lecturer in different films appeared in a serious deglamorised role in it!

Movie Info :Saarai Veeraraju
Cast :: Ajay & Madhulika
Music :: V.Sree Sai
Director :: D.S.kannan
Producer :: Anjum Rizvi

Review :

Sarai veerraju movie castng ajay as the lead and suhani as the female actress is released with good expectations from public knowing ajay past from kushi as a character artist and the director Ds kannan who worked with puri jagannath.

Story Line :

Coming to the story , ajay plays a role of Veeraju and is familiar as sarai veeraju and the story revolves in narsipatnam village and veeraju plays a typical role where his ambition will be only going to dubai and for this he saves each and every penny . He makes his entry suspective as he kills vishnu (bhupathi) as soon as he lands there and collects the adresses of few people to be killed and he land backs to hyderabad. In the mean time veeraju falls in love with preethi (madhulika) , the air hostess and gets in to her house as her lover.

Tambi Dorai, Ramanath, Narayana and Raghupathi are the four villians for whom ajay is struck to kill , and in deep love with preethi he expresses his flash back to her and narrates the story.

In the flash back , veeraju known as sarai veeraju is an orphan who grows up with another orphan dhana laxmi . After certain age Dhana Lakshmi (Ramya Nambushan)falls in love with ajay and get backs always in expressing her love towards him where as veeraju treats her as goddess.

-Art work by satya is just awesome

The movie Arya 2 is a story of three people Ajay (Navadeep) , Arya (allu arjun) and Geetha (Kajal). The flick starts with a hospital scene with Arya on the stretcher and Ajay running behind him. Ajay Narrates the story of the past.


Ajay and Arya Plays a role of orphans in the movie . Arya joins a orphanage newly and gets a thought on whom to make a friend. He places a chewing gum on the steps of the school and observes it, he waits for someone to step on it to make his friend. Ajay steps and he makes him a friend.

Kurradu Movie Review 0

Media Club Member | 6:48 AM | , ,

Film: Kurradu
Rating: 2.5/5
Banner: Anandhi arts
Cast: Varun Sandesh, Neha Sharma, Tanikella, Ravi Shankar, Venu, Ali, Surekha Vani, Pragathi etc
Music: Achchu
Story: Vetri Maran
Cinematography: Sarvesh Murari
Director: Gunnam Sandeep
Producer: Gemini Kiran
Release date: 12 Nov 2009

Varun Sandesh has been on top ever since his Happy Days. His Kotha Bangaru Lokam also had set a new record and thus he became a youth icon. He came up with Kurradu and obviously the expectations will be above the plane. Let us see how this worked.

Story:
Varun (Varun Sandesh) is a young boy who loves owning a sports bike. But his below middle class family background turns a barricade to fulfill his dream. His poor father (Tanikella Bharani) worries about his day-dreaming and irresponsible son. But after a dramatic incident his father gives him Rs 70000 to purchase bike out of his all life time savings. Varun buys a bike and enjoys. He finds a girl Hema (Neha Sharma) and both fall in love. But that bike results in turbulence in Varun’s life. What is that? That has to be seen on big screen.

Performances:
Varun Sandesh looked lean and lanky and he didn’t suit for the energy levels required for the role. He needs to upgrade his dialogue delivery pattern especially while portraying the roles of this kind.

Neha Sharma looked good with naughty smile and big eyes. But she hasn’t upgraded in the matter of performance. Many of her expressions sounded artificial and sometimes lagging in dialogue.

Tanikella Bharani is ok as middle class father while Pragathi is perfect in mother role. Ravi Shankar, the popular dubbing artiste played the lead villain role in fitting manner.

Others are ok.

Technically, the movie has no big thing to discuss about. The story sounds not so great as already ‘Ride’ has come on screen with similar theme.

Highlights:
Nothing notable

Analysis:
It’s a different version of ‘Ride’. It is also inspired from the Tamil movie ‘Polladavan’. But Pollavadan has already inspired Ride. While Ride has two heroes where one is arrogant and other is the one with poor background, here the hero in Kurradu possessess both in him. The bike forms common element both in Ride and Kurradu.

On a whole, the movie has no tempo that keeps audience fix on to seats with interest. First half is ok while second half seems to have run with no punch and required emotion.

The movie may not appeal in the way it’s expected.

Bottom Line: It can be watched only to kill time if you feel that’s Hobson’s choice.
