Producer: Sekhar Kammula



COMING TO STORY :
Life is Beautiful is about about three youngsters Srinu, Nagaraj and Abhi’s realization of life while trying to exploring their love interests.There are 2 colonies one is Gold phase colony,where rich people stay and other is B phase colony where middle and poor class stay.
Srinu (Abijeeth)stays with her sister in law Padmavati(Sahgun) and in love with her. Nagaraj comes from vizag to Hyderabad for studies and find Laxmi. and Abhi (Kaushik) tries to impress Shriya of Gold phase And of course Maya Madam(Anjali)belongs to B phase colony who is a dream lady for boys over there. Movie takes a turn when they see an unexpected life changing event to one of their closed ones. Rest of the movie is about how they worked towards their goals.

Highlights
  • Second half
  • Songs
  • Feel of the movie
  • Technical values
  • Mother scene of the child artist in climax
Drawbacks
  • Length
  • First half
  • Few scenes missed the emotional quotient
PERFORMANCE:
Amala Akkineni performance as middle class modern mother suffering from cancer is good ,but her presence after 20 years is not so extraordinary, Shreya as rich girl looks still glamorous recommended as heroine for old boys, Sherya looks dominating and older with the new comers and young actors on the screen… Anajali as maya madam is not that important role, Characterization of Anjala was unnecessary. Other young characters like Abijeet Duddala, Sudhakar Komakul, Kaushik, Shagun Kaur, Zara Shah, Rashmi Shastry, Kavya, Naveen, Sanjeev, Sriram are still raw though director tried his level best to extract juice out of them.
ANALYSIS:
Life is beautiful is typical out and out Shekar’s film targeted for only A class audience. It’s a kichidi of 3 love stories running parallel at the same time it is also a satire on suicide attempt. Theme of the movie is not anything new. His earlier film was on college which had some life in it and youth oriented factors and audience had connected to the roles .
In LIB, He tried to show the colours of Life, Money is not life and life is about staying together sharing everything , Sekhar Kammula managed to bring in good humor during the first half with few good scenes but pace is very slow and scenes are way too similar to Happy Days.The second half has the more touchy scenes in typical Sekhar Kammula style and they seem to have struck a chord slightly. The success of the film depends a lot on the reception of these emotional scenes in the second half. Overall second half is better than first half.


AT LAST:
‘Life is Beautiful‘ is not just BEAUTIFUL but has LIFE in it.
VERDICT— Average

Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Movie review

Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster
Dir: Tigmanshu Dhulia 
Cast: Randeep Hooda, Jimmy Shergill, Mahie Gill 
Rating: 3.5/5


Even before the movie begins, you get a good feeling about it.  Fortunately, it lives up to that intuition. A crackling script, fantastic direction and amazing performances, this movie almost deserves to be called a classic.

Sahib (Jimmy Shergill) is a sovereign who has lost all his glory and money, and therefore has to resort to certain criminal activities to keep up his ostentatious lifestyle. Add to that, he has to borrow money from his stepmother (who has inherited all the money from his dad). On top of it, he is losing the power game to his rival... all these factors not helping his self-esteem. His mistress Mahua and   his trusted servant ???, however, ensure he gets his periodical ego boosts.

Biwi is Mahie Gill, who is mentally imbalanced and pines for her husband's attention, while he spends most nights with Mahua. Then there's the handsome, but cocky Bablu (Randeep Hooda), who has a clear agenda in place. But all the agendas and motives go for a toss, when Bablu falls in love with the Biwi. While she is looking for physical gratification, he is looking for something far beyond.

Some of the dialogues in the movie are so brilliant that the writer of such gems deserves a big pat and perhaps some awards too. Director Tigmanshu Dhulia (who has co-written this stellar script with Sanhay Chauhan) doesn't let your attention waver even for a minute, as he spins the story of a violent nexus between power brokers and politicians, and how far they will go to protect their power equations.

Randeep Hooda stands out for his brilliant performance. This guy definitely deserves more such roles. Jimmy Shergill is also very good. Mahie Gill, however, fails to really excite given that she has some fantastic bold scenes to show off her acting skills. No doubt she looks hot, but she ends up giving an average performance.
But the superhero -- I must reiterate and stress on this again -- is the script and its fantastic dialogues.

Force Movie Review

Force an Action Fiesta

 Force
U/A; Action
Director: Nishikant Kamat
Cast: John Abraham, Genelia D'souza, Vidyut Jamwal
Rating: 3/5

 Stroy:

CP Yashwardhan (John Abraham) is upright and so focused about his duties that he doesn't want to get distracted by any romantic liaisons. In comes Maya (Genelia D'souza). She openly professes her love for him and the cop has no choice but buckle in. Oh yes, and in the rarest chance in a Hindi film, Maya gets to tell Yash that she wants to make love to him.

Unfortunately Yash has yet another distraction (this one unpleasant though) to deal with -- a powerful and super smart opponent (Vidyut Jamwal), who wants to be the kingpin of drug dealers.

While we have seen many super cop versus vicious villain movies recently, a good film is a good film. Force keeps you hooked throughout, may it be in the action sequences or the romance between the two lovebirds.

Kamath manages to bring in a reality factor to this adrenalin-pumping action fiesta. This film is perhaps almost on par with the last good cop film Sarfarosh by John Mathew Mathan. But then Mathan had the advantage of having Aamir as ACP Rathod. While you cannot even compare this ACP with that one, John puts in a sincere effort.

While some may disagree, I actually liked the choice of Vidyut Jamwal as the powerful rival. What stands out for me is that this is not a vicious villain, but a normal cotton shirt and jeans wearing strapping young man, just like the hundreds of criminals that exist around us. The action sequences are breathtaking and thankfully not mindless.

 Final Talk:

Total paisa vasool.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan Movie Review



Cast: Arfeen Khan, Kanwaljit Singh, Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ali Zafar, Parikshat Sahni
Producer: Aditya Chopra
Music Director: Sohail Sen
Director: Abbas Ali Zafar
Rating:  2.75/5


Story line:

The story of ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ revolves around Kush Agnihotri (Imran Khan) and Dimple Dixit (Katrina Kaif). They belong to an upper middle class family of Northern India. Kush’s brother, Luv Agnihotri (Ali Zafar) stays in London and is looking for his ideal Indian bride and wants Kush to find that perfect match for him. In his quest, Kush emabarks upon a journey that comprises of him meeting different kinds of women and finally meeting Luv's perfect match Dimple, who is crazy and wacky. The families meet and decide on the marriage, but Kush falls in love with Dimple, his brother's soon-to-be dulhan. What follows, is a topsy-turvy love story and whether Kush gets his love remains the biggest question.

Performances:

As far as the performances are concerned, Imran Khan has done comedy in a much more mature fashion than his other films. He is more confident in the comic scenes. On the other hand, Katrina Kaif looks good in the grungy look and endears herself to the audience. This is Katrina’s film all the way. Her performance is absolutely fantastic. Katrina will also earn brownie points for her graceful dances. Ali Zafar has done a fine job. He looks very cute. Tina D’Souza stands her own, especially in the climax.



Last Word:

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a pretty ordinary effort. It's the kind of movie where everyone looks catalogue cool and beams with enthusiasm to make the going-ons appear droll and exciting. And though one's a sourpuss for not buying it, I'll take the risk of being one.

Aakasame Haddu Movie Review

Cast: Navadeep, Rajeev, Panchi Bora and others
Producer: Nimmagadda Venugopal
Music Director: Anand
Director: Ravi Charan Meripo
Banner: Ravi Corporation
Rating: 3.5



Story:

Narayana (Rajiv Saluri) a middle class guy tries to kill himself. He happens to meet Karthik (Navadeep) at his suicide spot. And karthik asks his troubles that leads him to death. Narayana narrates his story to karthik.

Narayana belongs to middle class family, who is an engineering student. Meanwhile he falls in love with Keerthi (panchi bora). And he ends his story with saying about things that happens to him after falling in love. Karthik promises him to help.

And the story again begins to seem beautiful for Narayana. Karthik starts being friendly with keerthi and Narayana. It looks like kartik and keerthi fell in love with each other for Narayana. Is that true and who is Karthik? What are the reasons that lead Narayana to suicide forms rest of the story...

Performances:

Navdeep with all his experience in his career has given a decent performance in the film. He has shown a lot of maturity in acting. Rajiv Salur, who played the role of a lover boy, too has done justice to his role. However, he has to improve his body language and facial expressions. Panchi Bora looks cute and glamorous. But she has to learn the basics of acting, as her face is devoid of expressions. Other artistes, including Bhanu Chander as hero’s father, Pragati as hero’s mother, Rao Ramesh as principal, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam as a hen-pecked husband are good. Those who played the hero’s sidekicks tried their best to tickle the funny bones of audiences.

Technical:

There is not much to talk about the technicians. Cinematography is just above average, while editing is also not so sleek but okay. Music by Mantra Anand is average as there are no foot-tapping songs and are not so appealing. Background score is also on the same lines. The director should be patted for his idea of explaining the real meaning of love with this film. Any true lover should not resort to extreme step of killing himself or turn violent and kill his love. Screenplay in the film is little embarrassing in the first half and it hints that the main story has some link with the cameo (Navdeep).

Finally: A good entertainer with message to youth.

The film was shot in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and San Francisco and was simultaneously made in Telugu and Tamil languages.

Story

The story of the movie 180 is all around Siddharth. The movie starts at Kasi where  he appears as a Mano.  He appears as as serious man, but his attitude on death and fear of death changes after he meets a young boy. 

He moves close with everyone. On the other hand Vidhya (Nithya Menon), a photo journalist meets Siddharth. Siddharth with the help of Nitya sponsors street children for their education. Nitya will be attracted with Siddharth and proposes him.

But Siddharth moves to Chennai without informing Nitya and stays in a house owned by a couple Murthy (Mouli) and Jayam (Geetha). He gets close with them.

But Nitya meets with an accident. Siddharth takes the responsibility to get her back to health. Meanwhile a flashback reveals that Siddharth is a doctor in San Francisco, USA and was attracted to a fun-loving girl Renu (Priya Anand). They get married.

Performance

It's a superb show by Siddharth. He carries the entire movie on his shoulders and at no point does he show the slightest strain

Priya Anand looks gorgeous. Special applause to the stylist! Going beyond looks, we must add that in terms of acting and emoting, she is on target. Nithya Menon as the journalist  does her part well.

Sri Charan as Siddharth's friend deserves a mention. Mouli walks away with aplause for his portrayal. The cast includes Geetha, Lakshmi Ramakrishnan, Thanikala Bharani and Janaki Sabesh.

Analysis
Everything looks fabulous and refreshing in the movie. From the banks of the Ganges to the bay lanes of Chennai, and finally the skyline of San Francisco, everything looks picture-perfect and yet realistic.

Jayendra starts to leave an impression with his visual in the first frame itself. The story or the narration may be very familiar, but the catchy dialogues and he sequence penned by Jayendra along with writers Subha is good.

Balasubramaniem's camera work deserves special mention

The first song is entirely shot in super slow motion. While it is an interesting experiment and some of the visuals are brilliant.

Highlights:
* Siddharth's performance
* Creative direction by Jayendra
* Catchy visuals
* Good Technical Standards
* Good music by Sharreth

Finally 180 is Just Ok Movie

'Raaj' Movie Review

Rating: 1/5Banner: Kumar Brothers Cinema
Cast: Sumanth, Priyamani, Vimala Raman  and others
Music: Koti
Cinematography: Jagan
Screenplay, direction: V N Aditya
Producers: Kumar Brothers
Release date: 18/03/2011

The class hero Sumanth has now arrived in a commercial formula treat and this time he has enough ammunition in the form of the heroines Priyamani and Vimala Raman. Let us see how the film is.

Story
Raaj (Sumanth) is a fashion photographer. He loves Priya (Vimala Raman) but he loses her whereabouts and reluctantly gets married to Mythili (Priyamani). But he is unable to tell Mythili about Priya and finds it difficult to adjust with her.
However, things change and they get close. Just when things look to settle, Raj sees Priya. He decides to ask her why she left him without a word and lies to Mythili that he is going to London. Who is Priya? Why does she leave Raaj without a word? What happens to Raaj-Mythili’s relation after Priya’s arrival? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performance
Given his sophisticated looks, Sumanth is a total misfit to this character. He failed in romance, fights, dance and looked disinterested while enacting the emotional scenes. Despite having strong steamy scenes with Priyamani, Vimala Rama he could not deliver that chemistry.

Priyamani goes totally extreme in her skin show and does justice to her remuneration. To be frank, the film will receive any response only due to her severe exposing. However, she should have taken care in the make up and costumes department. Some scenes make her look like a C-grade heroine.

Vimala Raman did her best to ooze glamour but she couldn’t get past Priyamani. But she scored better than Priyamani in the makeup, costumes departments. The flip side is the dubbing for Vimala which reminded of a monotonous TV artist. Already, her performance is weak and the dubbing put her in negative scale.


Can watch
  • Cinematography
  • Locations
Dare to watch
  • Terrible songs
  • Weak dialogues
  • Amateur editing
  • Botched up direction
  • Obscenity in romance scenes
  • Stale twist in second half
Analysis
Despite many attempts, it is clear that Sumanth fits the best for classy roles and is a total misfit for commercial and mass roles.
Either he is being misguided or he is not aware of his own limitations. If only he stuck to classy roles and sophisticated image, he would have got the backing of select audience and could have made his career as a minimum guarantee hero.
‘Raaj’ is one of those masterpieces which belong to the category of torturing the audience in every scene and camera movement.
Right from first scene, the audience goes through third degree torture and becomes a victim of the director’s creativity. The film reminds many of a C-grade Malayalam movie and if you thought that tsunamis happen only in the seas, ‘Raaj’ will give you the experience in cinema theatre. 

Bottomline: Beware!! It is a dangerous torture and  Must avoid it!!

Mangala Movie Review

Director : Tulasi Ram  
Music Director : Vishwa  
Producer : Tulasi Ram  
Starring : Charmi, Subhash, Pradeep Rawat, Chitram Seenu and others...

It’s been quite sometime since we have seen a horror film in Telugu cinema. Mangala starring Charmi is one such film which has elements of horror and black magic. The film desperately tries to be a taut thriller and has its fine moments of spine chilling horror which catch you off-guard. But is that enough? Directed by Osho Tulasiram, the film brings together Charmi and Tulasiram once again after their earlier hit film, Mantra. The duo’s latest film, Mangala is about an actress who becomes a victim of a dreaded black magic spell and she has to save herself before the spell brings her closer to death.
Story line : Charmi stars as Ammulu, who’s made quite a name for herself as an actress. One day, a crazy fan of hers tries to meet her and in the process she misunderstands that he tried to molest her and she slaps him. Disheartened by this incident, he commits suicide. His father (Pradeep Rawat) tries his best to convince Ammulu to come and save his son who’s refusing to take medicine unless he meets his favourite actress and eventually he dies. Pradeep Rawat plans to take revenge for his son’s death by evoking a deadly spell of Black Magic which would mean a certain death for whom it’s being used. Charmi is the victim this time and the rest of the story is about how she tries to deal with the situation and whether she manages to save herself or not.

Good to watch : Charmi is the heart and soul of the film. She breathes life into her character and portrays fear to perfection. Her transformation from an innocent actress to a ‘possessed’ girl is proof enough of her acting talent. She shrieks her lungs out, freaks out her director who tries to outsmart her and literally lives her role throughout the film. The guy who played her confidant as Subbu delivers an honest performance. The sound effects in the beginning of the film and the background score raise the bar for this film which unravels as a well crafted thriller till the end of first half. Uttej, Saptagiri are good as the producer and assistant director of a film which goes haywire due to a crazy director’s antics. 

What is bad: After some spine chilling moments in the first half, the film desperately tries to live up to the expectations when the actual ‘solving-the-problem’ act begins. The final act of the film is a major let down. Is it a little too much to ask for a larger-than-life drama and action to solve an issue as big as what Charmi has to face in the film? After almost ten reels of living through the horror, there’s hardly any good versus evil fight which would make you vouch for the heroine. Mangala is one of those films where the climax just spoils everything which the film has tried to achieve in the end. Moreover, the film unnecessarily tries to up the glam factor by inserting two raunchy numbers with an excuse that Charmi is an actress in the film! The much hyped Aghora factor in the film which is all the more prominent in the posters is a let down in the end. 

Technical Review : The film scores high in terms of the background score and the sound effects. Music by Viswa is alright and the bum gyrations which Charmi seemed to have mastered for this film are nothing but a so-called ‘commercial element’ meant to attract the male species. Keeping aside the debate whether it’s good or bad, it does serve the purpose! Most of the film has a sepia tone and the cinematography is decent. Osho Tulasiram who wrote the story and screenplay apart from directing the film loses track somewhere in the middle of the film. While the story is well set up and it moves at a break neck speed till the end of first half, it begins to lag with endless drama while trying to reach the final act. But then, the film is a good attempt with a small crew and limited budget.

Tagline : Mangala promises a lot more than what it accomplishes and that’s its biggest fault. However, the silver lining on this black (magical) cloud is an incredible performance from Charmi and she holds the fort for most part of the film. And when a film of this magnitude ends up with an anti-climax, one begins to wonder why it had to be so alluring in the beginning! Perhaps no one would ever know who’s to blame; it would be a wise decision to blame the God for playing the spoilsport. Who said ‘Evil’ is bad? In a film like this, perhaps that would have been the saving grace. Amen.

Ahana Pellanta Review


Director : Tulasi Ram 
Music Director : Vishwa  
Producer : Tulasi Ram  
Starring : Charmi, Subhash, Pradeep Rawat, Chitram Seenu and others...

There are certain similarities between Allari Naresh and Srihari. Both have established unique style of making audiences laugh out loud in almost impossible to smile situations and both wouldn’t mind doing character roles when necessary. In Aha Naa Pellanta, both compete to outdo each other, both as actors and characters. With both of them together, the movie promises a laugh riot and almost manages to keep it.


Story line : Subrahmanyam (Allari Naresh) is an intelligent, hardworking software engineer. He lives with his uncle (Ahuti Prasad), keeps the poster of Bill Gates in his room, spends most of his time with his girlfriend Madhu (Anita Hasnandani), and Busy Balraj (Brahmanandam). After getting drunk heavily one night, he wakes up with a girl – Sanjana ( Ritu Barmecha). Neither he nor does the girl remember how they got together, but both start to believe they did ‘it’. It isn’t before too long that the girl’s ‘goon’ brothers (Srihari, Subbaraju, Samrat), warn him of dire consequences if he doesn’t get married to their ‘innocent’ sister. No matter how hard he tries to escape the marriage, it seems he can’t evade the brothers’ eyes. Just when he has given up all hope and agrees to the forced marriage, he stumbles upon a secret that turns the tables on the brothers. Inspite of having the upper hand over the brothers, poor Subbu still finds himself in a drama of love and backbiting created by them. In order to know who wins in the end, you got to watch Aha Naa Pellantaon screen.

Good to Watch : Aha Naa Pellanta is a shameless comedy. It has innumerable scenes which generate different kinds of laughs – from the cheeky guffaws to complete ‘fall off seat’ loud laughs. Even though some could say that Srihari’s Telangana dialect has become too ‘normal’ he manages to utter some extremely funny words – just the words are enough to gives chuckles. Together with Brahmanandam, Srihari shoulders the responsibility of the movie, with some situations that can be seen only in Telugu Cinema. Of course it is unnecessary to say that Brahmanandam, when he has a good character, is just a synonym for comedy! Allari Naresh has a peculiar expression which by default looks confused and he makes use of it completely. Ritu Barmecha makes a nice entry into films, though she is required only to play the love interest of Naresh. Also cameo appearances from the likes of Venu Madhav, M.S. Narayana , Jaya Prakash Reddy, Vennela Kishore etc… add to the hilarious moments of the film. Anitha lokks glamorous in her limited role.

What is bad: Aha Naa Pellanta is heavily reminiscent of Hindi movie Welcome and has few scenes inspired from such comedies in Hindi. Problem is while the recent Hindi comedy movies have flimsy storylines, the progress of the story is effortless thanks to some well written and well acted scenes. Unfortunately, we have only well acted scenes (not all) here. For a comedy movie, Aha Naa Pellanta tries too hard to generate a love story between the lead couple. The good thing about Aha Naa Pellanta though is that at the end of the movie, you won’t mind it, because it gives your cheek bones enough exercise.

Technical Review: Because it is a comedy, Aha Naa Pellanta is heavily dependent on dialogues, which are for most parts, written well. However, some dialogues had to be muted, and few others were not as emotional as they could have been. Editing glitches were quite visible, and the overall texture of the movie was quite average. The sets, (sometimes supported by VFX), weren’t too impressive either. However, it had one or two songs that could be of some interest to the masses, though the film could have done without atleast one. First time director Veerabhadra, instead of relying on the script, banked on highly experienced actors who do not shy away from their responsibility. Koti background could have been better.

Tag Line : Aha Naa Pellanta could just be the movie for those who are looking for some good entertainment. It is easily a good Allari Naresh film in the recent times and also has bonus in the form of Srihari and Brahmanandam.

Kudirithe Kappu Coffee Review

Rating : 3.25/5 

Director : Ramana Salwa 
Music Director : Yogeswar
Producer : Mahi
Starring : Varun Sandesh, Suma Bhattachaya, Bheemineni Srinivasa Rao, Tanikella Bharani

Call it the most happening theme in Tollywood or sheer coincidence, but stories of upmarket people (Gaganam, Ala Modalaindi, LBW) are making their presence felt in Tollywood.Kudirithey Kappu Coffee might have you thinking that it is one such kind, thanks to its urbane texture. However, it is luxuriously rustic and innocent at heart, and that is exactly where it manages to catch you off guard.


The story : Unable to handle rejection from a girl, Ravi commits suicide. For Ravi's close friend Venu (Varun Sandesh), the incident leaves quite a negative impression on love stories. Offering him a break from all this, Venu's dad sends him over to Dakshinagiri to take care of coffee shoppe he had given away to his former teacher. It is at Dakshinagiri that he meets characters like Malati teacher who is trying to pay her debts off to Decent Lodge owner Mohan. But for Mohan, the debt is just a way of getting his hands on the coffee shop! Besotted by the coffee shop, the picturesque locale, and the old teacher, Venu agees to help her, by making it a venue for a marriage. Of course, he doesn't tell them who he actually is. Venu is joined by the teacher's Hotel Management granddaughter Lasya (Suma Bhattacharya). It isn't long before Lasya falls for the boy's honesty and his mysterious charm. Venu though, is least interested in her. Destiny, however, has different things in store for both of them.

what is Good to watch : The first thing that you'll notice in the film is its visual sweetness, almost reminiscent of Geetanjali. The comparison ends there as the story is obviously quite different and so are its characters. Varun Sandesh as Venu, for the first time makes an impression with something more than his boyish looks. His new look, added with a certain calmness and a little bit of underplay, is surprisingly endearing. Suma Bhattacharya looks the girl next door, and she makes a decent entry into Telugu film industry. Bheemineni Srinivasa Rao as the hero's father is quite impressive and it wouldn't be a surprise if he is offered more of such roles. Tanikella Bharani is as usual good too! Almost all characters are quite simple inspite of their strange connections to each other. Thanks to the greenery of Dakshinagiri, throughout the first half of the film, you feel like you are on a virtual holiday.

What is bad: For the kind of expectations set by the end of the first half, the second half goes down on drama or can we say real content. The situations, which seemed developed well, especially the brewing word tussle between Mohan and Venu, fizz out rather tamely. Obviously, when you see almost all characters going out of their way to make things comfortable for the hero and the heroine, you'd expect more from them, won't you? The tempo moves up and down in the second half mostly because the conversations come short on communicating the necessary emotions. It will be interesting to see how audiences will like the climax which comes without the 'habitual' melodrama. That said, the visual and audio appeal is extremely captivating.

Technical Review : Director Ramana Salva should be appreciated for coming up with a story which is quite novel. He executes his story in a rather poetic fashion bringing in silent stares and unsaid emotions to the fore. It is easy to say he could have exercised more caution with the dialogues, but his other technical team doesn't let him down. Cinematographer Santosh Rai, makes the best use of the scenic Dakshinagiri, and art director gives it almost a fairytale touch. Yogeshwar Sharma's first outing as a music director is quite a success. His songs enhance the depth of his dad's meaningful lyrics, and his rerecording manages to maintain the movie's tempo. The overall production values seem quite rich, and both the producers Mahi and Shiva need to be praised for not falling for the usual commercial aspects of moviemaking.

Tagline : Kudirithey Kappu Coffee might fall under the usual love story genre, but it manages to make a place for itself, as its feel good factors come from unexpected ways. Watch it for Varun Sandesh's best performance so far, for its rich visual treat and an easy love story.

Prema Kavali Movie Review

Banner: RR Movie Makers
Cast: Aadi, Isha Chawla, Dev Gil, Sindhu Tolani, Ali, Brahmanandam
Music Director: Anoop Rubens
Producer: K Atchi Reddy
Director: K.Vijaya Bhaskar

rating: 2.25/5

Prema Kavali Movie Review  – Prema Kavali Review – Prema Kavali Telugu Movie Review: Sai Kumar’s son Aadi made his debut with Prema Kavali. Vijay Bhaskar who earlier made many hit films is roped in as the director. Like all star kids first films, Prema Kavali focuses on commercial ingredients to woo all the sections of audience. To showcase all the skills of the young kid in particular. Hence, Prema Kavali is clichéd, utterly routine, occasionally boring and has a pathetic ending. Let us uncover the details of Prema Kavali in this review…

Story:

Prema (Isha Chawla), who is a daughter of Jail Superintendent (Nazar) gets harassed by one person (Shafi) who has the photos of Prema kissing Srinu. Who is Srinu (Aadi)? He is a classmate of Prema who falls for her in the first sight and tries to woo her all the time. But being a conservative girl, Prema doesn’t respond to his love. Then happens this kissing incident which turns out to be a nightmare of her life. Who is Shafi? What is the intention behind his harassment will be revealed later.

Analysis:

Vijaya Bhaskar, who is yet to bag a hit sans Trivikram struggles on the script front yet again. The story is too silly to believe. Linking a tender love story to terrorism is absurd. And taking it seriously and pushing it to the maximum is ridiculous. Screenplay is so bad that we almost forget what happened prior to that particular scene and doesn’t have a clue about where it is heading to.

First half is strictly Okay with routine college comedy and few songs. It gets on to your nerves towards the intermission. Second half too runs on the same note. Vijaya Bhaskar’s desperate attempt to be a Trivikram all by himself boomeranged big time in this movie as he tried to link this love story to terrorism. He followed the pattern of Trivikram’s stories by introducing comedy characters in between. Trivikram has the knack of linking the characters perfectly to the story but Vijaya Bhaskar lacks it completely.

Therefore, the so called comedy scenes involving Brahmanandam and MS Narayana looks forced and unfunny. That lengthy scene has nothing to do with the story. By then the film is set for a climax and director who is completely unaware of that goes for a picnic. Climax is the biggest minus in this film. If anyone wants to pass this off as an average fare until then would fail it mercilessly for that stupid climax scene. NCC cadet chasing ISI terrorist all alone will stand out as one of the stupidest ever scenes in the history of Telugu cinema.

People couldn’t stand that absurdity and walked out of the Premiere show (which is not a common scene) will tell the whole story for you. Prema Kavali is a complete waste of time and not even worth watching once.

Performances:

Sai Kumar’s son Aadi is fine. His performance for a first timer is Okay. He has the boy next door looks and can dance well. However, he should have waited for another couple of years as he looked too young to be a hero. Isha Chawla doesn’t have the looks of a heroine. Not many would figure out that she is the lead lady when she appears for the first time. She sizzled in a rain song.

Sindhu Tolani turned into a character artist with this movie. She is good. Dev Gill is wasted. Shafi is routine. Nazar is standard. Ali tries to pump in some energy. Brahmanandam and MS Narayana are not needed.

Technicalities:

Prasad Varma tries too hard to imitate Trivikram. His rhyming dialogues are painful on ears. Chota K Naidu has gone wasted. He did his best to make this film stylish. Anup Rubens music is peppy but lacks soul. Background score is average. Editing by Gowtham Raju is not up to the mark. Production values are rich. The film looked lavish in each and every frame.

Vijaya Bhaskar fails as a writer and director. Looks like Trivikram should make time to put this man back on track.

Plus Points:

- Production values and publicity

Minus points:

- Story
- Dialogues
- Screenplay
- Direction

Final Word:

Prema Kavali offers nothing new except marking the debut of Sai Kumar’s son.

LBW Movie Review

Cast :  Siddhu, Abhijet, Asif Tej, Rohan, Nishanti , Chinmayi
Music : Anil R
Cinematography : Andrew Redd, Suresh Bargav
Banner : Working Dream Production
Editor : Dharmendra K
Producers: Naveen Sattaru, Deborah Stone
Story and Direction:  Praveen Sattaru
Release Date : 18 February 2011

Rating: 3/5
 
Story
LBW Life Before Wedding takes you through the happy and tumultuous times of six characters who are either working, passing out of college or pursuing a career, three in Dallas and three in India. Radhika (Chinmayi Ghatrazu) and Rajesh (Rohan) are best buddies, diverse personalities, they work together, travel together, have perfect understanding. Radhika doesn't know how and why but discovers herself falling in love with Rajesh but the latter finds it weird when she proposes to him.
Sruthi (Nishanthi Evani) and Jai (Abhijith) look to be a made for each other couple. Just when things appear to be going right for them, Jai breaks the relationship with his indecision. He wants to set it right but it's too late. There are a few more characters, Asif Taz as Varun, Rishi as Siddhu who act as catalyst to provide the twists and turns and as they do, the story set in the two cities move on parallel lines allowing you to take a closer look into their thinking, attitude and priorities in life.

Performances:
All the actors in the movie are new comers and we can say that they have shown their true talent and ability. Siddhu steals the show in the first half with his excellent and exceptional talent who can suit our typical Telugu cinemas. He has flexibility in body language and smooth dialogue delivery.
Abhijet is good looking and he is the darker side of the movie who gets highlighted as the movie progresses.
Asif Tej is a cool in his way and he brought naturality to his character with his great accent and coolness.
Rohan is silent for most of the time and his timing in penultimate scenes is really good and he has made his mark there.
Nishanti and Chinmayi are not of Telugu film type heroines, but they did justice to their characters. Although Chinmayi has won over Nishanti with her performance though the make-up is not proper in certain scenes. Nishanti has given a natural performance.

Analysis:
Other than the content, the director focuses on the feelings, emotions of the lead pairs and the supporting cast, on why they behave in a particular manner and provides interesting insight into their relationships. It gives you a feeling that you've come across such characters atleast once in your life time or you feel you've been a part of it before. By the end of the film, the audience begins to debate on, empathise with the people who fall, rise and move on with life. It is a good take on the love life of people who've passed out of college and are working.
The director has chosen the cast perfectly and all of them dazzle with their debut performances. One can see the earnestness with which the young actors have performed. Director draws the right kind of emotions and body language from them and has scripted the story from real life experiences of his friends which lend an element of believability to the story. The language is part Telugu, part English, has average, earthy lyrics.
Final Point:
The target audience is from the age group of 18 to 40, LBW makes you smile, embarrassed, reflect on your decisions you'd taken when you were that young. All the technical glitches in the film will be overlooked by the absorbing content and performances. Watch the film keeping your expectations in check, and you will like it. A rightly paced narration with good cinematography, LBW though is a honest and a decent effort by a debutant filmmaker Praveen Sattaru.

Erra Gulabeelu Review

Erra Gulabeelu Movie Review

Movie : Erra Gulabeelu
Rating: 3.25/5
Cast : Sameera Reddy, Veera, Karthik, Deva, Samantha, Swapna Abraham, Ashwin and others
Directed by : Gautham Menon
Produced by : Vallabhaneni Ashok
Banner : Manadesam Movies
Music : None
Release Date : 2011-02-19
 

Erra GulabeeluStory:

A hard hitting tale, the story begins with the arrest of Samar (Veera) by SP Vijay (Deva) who is investigating the deaths of three police officers. Samar reveals his flashback and this involves his troubled childhood where he is sexually abused due to his maniac father. The story also reveals about his neighbour Meenakshi (Swapna) who rescues Samar and becomes his guardian till he becomes a teen. However, things change when she gets married to her childhood friend and he is killed by Samar. On the other hand, Samar has a strong feeling for Sukanya (Sameera Reddy) and he kidnaps her. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Artist Performances:

Sameera Reddy has come up with an expressive performance and she shows the right emotions. Deva looks good and made his presence felt. Samantha was brief. Swapna Abraham was sensuous and effective. Ashwin was alright. The real one to watch out for was Veera who comes up with a riveting performance and has that menacing feel in his language and presence. The others did their bit as required.

Plus Points:

    * Cinematography
    * Veera’s Performance
    * Sameera Reddy
    * Production And Technical Values
    * Second Half
    * Scene Compositions

Minus Points:

    * Only For Select Audience
    * Disturbing Content

Analysis:

This is one of those rare path breaking films which are not seen in Indian cinema so full credit goes to Gautham Menon for coming up with such a treat. The fact that there is no music, songs, comedy etc makes it a unique project. Thrillers are usually risky ventures and it takes a lot of nerve to keep the audience hooked to the seat for two hours. This was achieved through this film. But then, this is not for kids, families, those with weak hearts. The reactions might be extreme considering the flavor of the subject. At the box office, this will strike profits and it will appeal to those who seek a thinking cinema.

Verdict: Absolute thriller! Only for strong minds and hearts!!
