Pellaina Kothalo

Banner: Aa Naluguru

Cast: Jagapati Babu, Priyamani, Astha Singhal, Raju Sundaram, Kota

Director: Madan

Message oriented/ Entertaining movie. This movie deals how newly weds face challenges adjusting to each other. If you like this theme you can watch this movie. But I still like Pelli Pusthakam better.

Review of Telugu Movie Rakhi

2006-12-25T09:50:00.000-08:00

Rakhi

Banner: Sri Durga Arts

Cast: Jr. NTR ,Ileana D'Cruz,Charmme Kaur,Suhasini

Director: Krishna Vamsi

Anti Dowry, Anti women violence oriented, boring first half and OK second half movie is Rakhi. Too sentimental showing brother sister relationship. Of course all Indian movies are sentimental. Sentiments pays in Indian movies. Only see this movie as a last option. Junior NTR keeps uttering words like "ma Tatha, ma nanna" every few words he speaks.
