Kajal Agarwal and Meera Jasmine in Lady Oriented Films

2009-11-08T03:11:00.000-08:00

Kajal Agarwal In & As CHANDI:

The latest Tollywood sensation Kajal Agarwal, who won the hearts of several young fans with her glamour and performance in Ram Charan Teja's recent blockbuster Magadheera, will play the lead role in a forthcoming heroine-oriented film titled Chandi which reportedly gives her great scope for performance. The film will start rolling in December.

A socio-fantasy-cum-graphical extravaganza like Arundhati, Chandi will be directed by Kodi Ramakrishna of Arundhati fame and produced by M.S. Raju with a whopping budget. M.S. Raju and Kodi Ramakrishna had earlier teamed up for Devi Putrudu, starring Venkatesh. Details of Chandi's remaining cast and crew will be revealed very soon.

Meera Jasmine's MOKSHA:

National award winning actress Meera Jasmine, popularly known as a homely heroine, is all set to undergo a complete makeover!

According to reports, for the first time in her career, Meera Jasmine will be seen as the lead lady of a Telugu horror movie tentatively titled Moksha to be directed by Srikanth Vemulapalli and produced by P. Amarnath under the banner of Amarnathan Movies.

The makers said they signed Meera Jasmine after thoroughly studying her body language and looks. Rajeev Mohan is playing a crucial role in this film which will go on sets on November 11 in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. The second schedule will commence in Chennai.

Srikanth's A Aa E Ee (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

2009-11-07T02:16:00.000-08:00

Film: A Aa E Ee

Rating: 1.75/5

Banner: Kalpana Arts

Cast: Srikanth, Sada, Meera Jasmine, Krishna Bhagawan, Tanikella, Kavitha, Brahmanandam, Ali, Sunil, Kovai Sarala, M S Narayana, Telangana Sakuntala, Raghu Babu, Apoorva, Venkat, Uttej etc

Music: M M Srilekha

Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla

Camera: Vijay C Kumar

Editor: Gautham Raju

Director: Srinivas Reddy

Producer: Boddam Ashok Yadav

Release date: 6th Nov 2009

Charming star Srikanth came up with his 101st movie and this was on floors since a long time. Whether it was worth the wait or not, let us see.

Story:

Chandram (Srikanth) is an honest man and a devoted husband to Kalyani (Meera). His life takes a turn when he discovers that Kalyani has a rare disease and he has to get money. A sequence of events compels him to act as husband to Ramya (Sada) who is thought dead. However, Ramya comes back alive and now Chandram is caught between both women. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Srikanth
Srikanth has come up with his performance as usual and he has done these several times before so nothing new from his end. However, his presence on posters after ‘Mahatma’ would add as a crowd puller to the theatre.

Meera Jasmine
She looks cute as usual and will appeal to the lady audience. However, she must try not to come up with western outfits in song sequences and that too figure hugging ones. It just doesn’t go with her.

Sada
She is sexy and makes up for the glamour quotient in a large way. Despite wearing regular outfits, she still has that oomph in her. Performance wise, she did justice to her role.

Others
Tanikella was standard, Sunil gave good laughs, Brahmanandam was okay, Ali was hilarious, Kovai Sarala was loud, Raghu Babu was a bit annoying, Krishna Bhagawan was witty and funny as well, M S was good, the others did as required.

Highlights

* Srikanth and Sada
* Pre-Climax
* Ali and Sunil’s comedy

Disappointments

* Outdated storyline
* Songs
* Brahmanandam comedy track
* Screenplay

Analysis:

The film has got every possible comedian in the Tollywood circuit but then the director has not been able to create a laugh riot out of it. The main drawback was the stale storyline which would have fitted the 80s time.

Also, the title conveys a comedy film but there is a strong dose of sentiment and melodrama which downs the enthusiasm. There is not much depth to the characters due to the weak script and there are not many moments when the audience can connect to the film.

There are few sparks of comedy here and there but overall, the film is not that appealing due to the tasteless flavor of the storyline. Except for Sada’s glamour, Sunil and Ali’s comedy, there is not much one can enjoy in this flick.

Village Lo Vinayakudu (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

2009-11-05T04:06:00.000-08:00

Film: Village Lo Vinayakudu

Rating: 3.25/5

Banner: Moon Water Pictures

Cast: Krishunudu, Sharanya Mohan, Yandamuri Veerendra Nath, Rao Ramesh, and others
Story: Mahi

Dialogues: Mahi, Saikiran Adivi

Music: Manikant Khadri

Lyrics: Vanamaali

Cinematography: Rams

Editing: Marthand K Venkatesh

Screenplay, Director: Saikiran Adivi

Producer: Mahi

Release date: 5th Nov 2009

The film ‘Vinayakudu’ was a major success and this has led to the sequel of the film ‘Village Lo Vinayakudu’. The expectations are obviously high on this one and whether they have been met or not, let us see.

Story:

Set on the backdrop of a village, the story is about Karthik (Krishnudu) a teacher in Hyderabad and it is love at first sight for him when he sees Kavya (Saranya) a doctor. She lives with her father Colonel Laxmipathi (Rao Ramesh), an ex-serviceman at their village and one day Karthik lands at their door confessing his love and asking for Kavya’s hand. Her father strictly retaliates and from then on, Karthik begins his efforts to win the hearts of Kavya’s father and her family. Meanwhile Col Laxmipathi’s friend (Yandamoori Veerendranath) makes attempts to separate Karthik from Kavya. Is he successful or not forms the rest.

Performances:

Krishnudu
Yet again, he has come up with a good performance and not many challenges for him in this one. He has done his best in carrying the film on his shoulders throughout and did a fairly good job. His body language and few dialogues bring smiles and make him look much cuter and perfect.

Saranya Mohan
She is looking sweet and her performance is also good. She has got wonderful photogenic features and for the role she suited best. She certainly loots many hearts with her cute expressions and naughty smiles.

Rao Ramesh
He has done justice to the role and has come up with some highlight dialogues and catchy scenes. This is a different character he has done unlike his earlier movies and he makes his presence felt. He is trying to imitate Prakash Raj knowingly or unknowingly in some scenes and that should be avoided.

Yendamuri Veerendranath
He has given few stiff expressions in front of the camera. But his character is interesting although little.

Bharat Reddy
Though he had a brief presence, he gave his best shot and there are few places where he made his presence felt very well.

Highlights:
Title design
Music and Lyrics
Bongulo Chicken Episode
Heroine Saranya
Cinematography
Krishnudu
Locations
Subtle Humor

Disappointments:
Pace in screenplay could be better

Analysis:

This is the sincere attempt by the director, and he scores good encomiums from all sectors of audiences. He has knitted the movie with all dexterities that a hero should possess. It is an eye opener for many directors those are showing heroes as smugglers, professional killers, thieves and robbers. The film condemns ‘ridiculing mythology’ which should be underlined. That’s a good lesson.

It is the effort that really appeals as it is made with honesty and sincerity. The film is a clean flick and it has enough ingredients to appeal to the family audience but then it doesn’t have that sort of momentum and pace.

There are no idle moments due to its good presentation. Background score was ok, songs were worth, picturization was top notch. While the first half is quite mild, it is not until the second half that the real tempo begins. Overall, the film is good in parts but could have been better. So it can be appreciated for its efforts than anything else.

Prabhas In & As EK NIRANJAN (2009) Movie Review

2009-10-29T07:03:00.000-07:00

Film: EK NIRANJAN

Rating: 3/5

Banner: Adithya Ram Movies

Cast: : Prabhas, Kangana Ranaut, Sonu Sood, Tanikella, Makrand Deshpande, Mukul Dev, Posani, Ali, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Abhinayasri, Sunil, Venu Madhav etc

Music: Mani Sharma

Cinematography: Shyam K Naidu

Director: Puri Jagannadh

Producer: Adithya Ram

Release Date: October 29, 2009

Story:

A regular tale, the story begins with Chotu (prabhas) who works for the police department, unofficially. He keeps tracing out criminals, catching them and takes his commission from the cops. On the other hand, he is also on the lookout for his parents and for that, he looks after Chidambaram (makrand) the man who brought him up since he knows about the parents. The story takes a turn when Sameera (kangana) enters into his life and after some hide and seek, they fall in love. Johnny Bhai (sonu sood) is a dreaded don and he is on the lookout for Kailash (mukul) and his paths cross with Chotu due to a sequence of events. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come up with a formula storyline and though the presentation was okay, the narrative was not upto the mark. The dialogues are good in places, the script was inconsistent and the screenplay was alright. Background score was good and songs were nice. Cinematography was standard. Editing could have been better, costumes and art department did their bit as required. Prabhas gave a good performance but he must be careful not to get repetitive with his body language and dialogues, Kangana looks sweet but she is not that good looking, make up was a defect, Sonu Sood was worth watching and he has given a good performance, the comedy track of Ali, Brahmanandam, Abhinayasri was dull, Sunil was brief, Venu Madhav was regular, Makrand was underutilized, Posani was eccentric, Tanikella was as usual. The others just came and went.

Conclusion:

The film is a typical Puri flavor and has multiple tracks running. However, there is not much voltage in it and there are no great scenes that really catch the chord with the audience. While the first half is light hearted with comedy, romance and some action, the second half goes about with the routine process and ends with an abrupt climax. Romance was weak, comedy was stale. The film doesn't have much for family audience and mass would relate to it. This will be an average grosser at the box office.

Kalyan Ram's JAYEEBHAVA (2009) Movie Review by bharatstudent

2009-10-23T04:06:00.000-07:00

Film: JAYEE BHAVA

Rating: 3.25/5

Banner: N T R Arts

Cast: Nandamuri Kalyanram, Hansika, Mukesh Rishi, Jayaprakash Reddy, Ashish Vidyarthi, Chalapathi Rao, Ali, Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav, Raghu Babu, Hema, Banerjee etc

Music: S Thaman

Cinematography: Dasaradhi Sivendra

Director: Naren Kondapati

Producer: Nandamuri Kalyanram

Release Date: October 23, 2009

Story:

A light hearted tale, the story begins with the rivalry between Bhavani (mukesh) and Narasimha (Jayaprakash reddy). Both have their issues settled with Yadu (ashish), the big don who is based in Hong Kong now. However, the story changes with the arrival of Ram (Kalyan), Bhavani's son. He realizes that both Bhavani and Narasimha were thick friends once upon a time but Yadu separated them. He goes to Hong Kong, traps Yadu and gets him arrested. Also, he meets Anjali (hansika) and both of them fall in love. After coming to India, Anjali discovers Ram's identity and vice versa. From then on, they decide to patch up the two sworn enemies. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come up with a light hearted tale and though the presentation was excellent, the narrative lacked depth. The dialogues were okay, the script was alright but the screenplay could have been with more clarity. Background score and songs are good and three songs are worth taking home, full marks to cinematography which has elevated the film to a different league. Costumes were trendy and art department was excellent. Editing was standard but it could have been better in the climax. Kalyanram was mild and had a stable performance, he could have put more energy into the comedy sequences though. Hansika was absolutely delicious and gorgeous, her acting has been very much the same. Mukesh Rishi was mild, Jayaprakash Reddy was regular, Ashish Vidyarthi was standard, Raghu Babu was hilarious, Ali was effective, Brahmanandam was justified, Venu Madhav could have been better, Banerjee was intense, the others contributed in their own way.

Conclusion:

The film scored majorly on the technical aspects as the presentation was slick. However, the content was weak. While the first half is mild, things pick up during the second half but the ending was quite hasty. Overall, the film would appeal in terms of comedy, technical values, Hansika's glamour and it could have been real better if the climax was given more punch and consistent. The film will be a decent grosser at the box office and the makers will have profits. If the word of mouth goes positive then it could reach a decent hit as well.

BUMPER OFFER (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

2009-10-23T03:40:00.000-07:00

Film: Bumper Offer

Rating: 2.5/5

Cast: Sai Ram Shankar, Bindu Madhavi, Sayaji Shinde, Rakhsa, Chandra Mohan, Kovai Sarala, Ali, Venu Madhav, Khayyum etc

Fights: Ram-Laxman

Art: Chinna

Editing: MR Varma

Camera: Sree Ram

Choreography: Dinesh, Sobha

PRO: BA Raju

Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla

Music: Raghu Kunche

Story and Dialogue: Puri Jagannath

Screenplay, Direction: Jaya Varma

Released On: 23rd Oct 2009

The much publicized film that tuned most popular with the super hit song ‘Ravanamma’ has released today. Let us see how it faired well.

Story:

Sai (Sai Ram) is a motor mechanic. His father (Chandramohan) works as a clerk in a construction company owned by a rich real estate lord Surya Prakash (Sayaji Shinde). Surya Prakash’s daughter Aishwarya (Bindu Madhavi) is an arrogant girl. Consequences make Sai and Aishwarya love together. How Surya Prakash reacts to that forms the main story. He gives Sai an offer that he is ready to give his daughter to him if he can earn at least half of his property. But Sai says that if financial status is the barrier for marriage, he would bring down Surya Prakash to his standard. Things move accordingly in second half and finally how Sai gets success is the climax.

Performances:

Sai Ram:
He groomed to some extent but stills needs to be. His hair style and costumes are in tune with the character he played but his dialogue delivery is pitiful. He is not appealing for any set of audiences with that. He needs to get trained in diction part.

Bindu Madhavi:
She looked spicy and perfectly gelled well in arrogant role. Director proved successful in giving a different look for her and broken the jinx of family look that she acquired with ‘Avakai Biryani’.

Raksha is ok as rich mother of heroine and Sayaji also grooved well in his part. Chandramohan and Kovai Sarala did their part as parents of poor hero.

Ali and Venu Madhav could bring only minimum laughs with their Magadheera spoof, although there is better scope.

Music is good and trendy. Dialogues are good, screenplay is normal and direction is average.

Highlights:

Music
Lyrics in ‘Ravanamma..’
Dialogues to some extent

Disappointments:
Hero’s diction

Analysis:

The movie is a reverse of Chiranjeevi’s ‘Challenge’. The protagonist in this denies the offer given by his rich lover’s father to become rich and marry his daughter. But in turn he gives a bumper challenge that he would bring that rich man to his level (poor) to marry his lover as financial status is the only barrier for their marriage.

The scope to make it a wonderful entertainer is very big. But this movie is limited only to a few laughs. The entertainment graph has been up and down since the beginning. A few scenes like when heroine beating the hero with stick received good response. The credit goes to dialogues there.

The ‘Magadheera’ spoof of Ali and Venu Madhav started with promising entertainment but that ended up very weak. There are no thrills and chills and everything goes as predicted. On a whole, the exercise is done but that’s not sufficient for this type of film.

The take off is good, first half ends up with a powerful interval bang. The second half goes as expected and finally it ends up as predicted. The film could have raised interest levels with more humor in it. To sum up, it ended up as a mundane treat.

Pooja ceremony of Ram Chara Tej's latest movie in the direction of Bommarillu Bhaskar was held at Hotel Novotel on the morning of 21 October. This is the production no.7 on Anjana banner that is being produced by Nagababu. Genelia and Kajal Agarwal are playing female leads.

Dasari sounded the clapboard, D Rama Naidu switched on the camera and K Raghavendra Rao directed the first shot. Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, Allu Arjun, RaNa, Allu Arvind, Puri Jagan, Krish, SS Rajamouli, VV Vinayak, Seenu Vytla, Shyam Prasad Reddy, Gemini Kiran, Surender Reddy, KL Narayana, C Kalyan, B Gopal, Paruchuri Gopala Krishna, Edida Nageswara Rao, Meher Ramesh, Vamsi Paddipally, Dil Raju, Srikanth, Sivaji, Veera Shankar, Uttej, Kodi Rama Krishna, Chota K Naidu, Nikhil, Brahmaji, KC Sekhara Babu, KS Rama Rao, A Kodandarami Reddy etc attended it.

Shooting in Australia and Hyderabad - Nagababu

Nagababu said, "Bommarillu Bhaskar is one of very few directors who show love and human emotions in an effective manner. This movie is the third film for both Ram Charan Tej and Bhaskar. We are using 'Orange' as working title for this movie. But the title is not official yet. Ram Charan Teja doesn't want to be typecast as a mass hero after the stupendous success of Magadheera. Hence he choose a subject of different genre. At the same time there will be a bit of action elements in this movie. The shooting will start in November in Hyderabad. We will go to Australia to shoot in December and January. Rest of the movie will be shot in Hyderabad later."

It's a feel good movie - Bommarillu Bhaskar

Bhaskar said, "It is a big responsibility to direct Ram Charan Tej after Magadheera. I am confident of fulfilling my responsibility. I was not tensed after watching Magadheera film. I felt that I am safe. The script of this movie will project Ram Charan Tej in entirely different way. It will be a good entertainer and a feel-good movie.I got good technical team and a supportive producer in the form of Nagababu. I am looking for hat-trick for me and Ram Charan with this movie."

Fabulous script and a challenging role - Ram Charan Tej

Ramcharan Tej said, "We decided on this project after 40 days of shoot of Magadheera movie. I knew that Magadheera would be a mass entertainer and I didn't want to remain as mass hero. That was the reason why I was particular that Bhaskar should direct my third movie. I want to do films from all genres. It's a fabulous script and challenging role for me. I hope that I will justify the script. This film will have all popular entertainment. Kiran Reddy who did cinematography for Ram Gopal Varma's Naach is doing for this movie. I am extremely comfortable with Nagababu outside my family members and spending time with him relieves you of all the stress. I am happy to be working in Anjana Productions."

Harris Jayaraj composes music. Kiran Reddy handles camera, Anand Sai is the art director. Marthand Venkatesh edits the movie. Thota Prasad is the dialogue writer.

Jaganmohini (2009) Movie Review by Bharatstudent

2009-10-19T06:36:00.000-07:00

Film: JAGANMOHINI

Rating: 1.5/5

Banner: Murali Cine Arts

Cast: Namitha, Raja, Vadivelu, Nila, Kota, Riyaz Khan, Jyothilakshmi, Bala Singh, Alex etc
Music: Ilayaraja

Cinematography: N K Vishwanathan

Director: N.K. Vishwanathan

Producer: Murali

Release Date: October 17, 2008

Story:

Set on the stage of mythology, the story begins with the announcement of engagement between prince Jagan Prathap (raja) with princess Jayanthi (meera chopra/nila) and when the entire kingdom is ready to rejoice, terror strikes in the form of a water cyclone that destroys the major part of the kingdom. That happens to be the water devil Jaganmohini (Namitha) which comes to seek revenge. However, the sorcerer (kota) manages to hold it through his spell and controls it. The flashback shows that Mohini (namitha) is from a fisherman's family and her island is visited by the prince sometime back and both fall in love. Just when everything looks set, the prince's father, the King, doesn't want a girl from a fisherman's family and so he sends his troops and kills Mohini. Now, she is out seeking revenge and also to have the prince for herself. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come up with the remake theme but by no means is the narrative or the presentation good. The dialogues are sloppy, the script was pathetic and the screenplay was horrible. Even background score and songs were total crass and the only saving grace is the cinematography which was good at few places. Editing was amateur, costumes were alright but art department was not good. Raja looks dull as usual and he looks like a small boy in front of Namitha, she is all over the screen and it must be said that she is looking totally out of shape though she has oozed a lot of glamour and skin show. Meera Chopra was the saving grace with her beauty, Kota was standard, Riyaz Khan was regular, Alex was normal, Jyothilakshmi was brief, Bala Singh was plain, the others didn't have much to offer.

Conclusion:

The film happens to be the remake of the 1978 super hit movie which had Jayamalini in the title role and despite the hype created by the makers, the film was a major disaster. The content or style of presentation was poor and the graphics were utterly inferior. While the first half revolves around the revenge saga, the second half goes about with the love tale and how evil is warded off. Overall, the film has failed to appeal to the audience in any department. Though hardcore Namitha fans might like it a bit, her overbearing frame might just be too much to handle. This will sink big time at the box office.

EVV's Bendu Apparao RMP (2009) Movie Review by bharatstudent

2009-10-16T05:10:00.000-07:00

Film: BENDU APPARAO RMP

Rating: 3.25/5

Banner: Suresh Productions

Cast: Allari Naresh, Kamna Jethmalani, Meghana, Ahuti Prasad, Uttej, Srinivas Reddy, Jeeva, Kondavalasa, AVS, Raghu Babu, Telangana Sakuntala, Subhashini, Dharmavarapu, L B Sriram, Suman Shetty

Music: Koti

Cinematography: C Jairam

Director: E V V Satyanarayana

Producer: D Ramanaidu

Release Date: October 16, 2009

Story:

A light hearted tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Bobbaralanka and here lives Bendu Apparao RMP (Naresh) who manipulates the sicknesses of people and earns money. However, his hand works well and the illness is cured. The story takes a turn when Apparao along with his friends (Uttej and Srinivas reddy) chance upon a dying man on the road. He reveals about the money he brought and pleads with Apparao to give it to his parents. Despite many efforts, Apparao fails to locate the dead man's family but given his kind heart, he builds a school in the village and at the same time, gives part of the money to both his friends and all three of them solve their problems. However, the real family lands in the village one day due to a government transfer and Apparao realizes this information soon. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come up with a regular storyline but it was the narration that really stole the show. The presentation was alright. Dialogues were hilarious, script was good, screenplay was apt. Music was standard and songs were not that great. Cinematography was effective, editing was crisp, costumes were suitable and the art department was realistic. Allari Naresh came up with a good performance and he was energetic, Kamna looked fresh and sexy as usual, even Meghana was competent and though she was brief, her one song was sizzling, Ahuti Prasad came up with a rocker, he was excellent. Uttej, Srinivas Reddy, Kondavalasa, Jeeva, Raghu Babu, L B Sriram, Suman Shetty, Chalapathi Rao all did their bit and added value to the film. Ramanaidu was graceful. The others did their bit as required.

Conclusion:

The film is an outright comedy but then there is also a good bit of sentiment and melodrama in proportion. While the first half just goes breezily without any issues, it is the second half that lacks the speed and goes slow due to the melodrama angle. Overall, good pace has been maintained and it must be said that the doses of comedy are quite high. The village backdrop also gives a nostalgic feeling and it is a typical Telugu filled humor. This will go well at the B and C Centers while the urban centers will attract comedy loving and youth audience. The film will yield profits to the makers.

Bharatstudent Verdict: Time pass comedy entertainer, watch it once

Srikanths's 100th Film MAHATMA (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

2009-10-10T02:41:00.000-07:00

Film: Mahatma

Banner: Golden Lion Films

Rating: 3/5

Cast: Srikanth, Bhavana, Jayaparakash Reddy, Jyothy, Uttej, Jagan, Brahmanandam, Paruchuri Venkateshwara Rao etc

Music: Vijay Anthony

Lyrics: Seetarama Sastry, Suddala Ashok Teja and Lakshmi Bhupal

Dialogues: Paruchuri Brothers

Cinematography: Sarath

Director: Krishna Vamsi

Producer: C R Manohar

Released On: 9th October 2009

The movie ‘Mahatma’ has been in news from quite some time by the virtue of publicity and controversies with songs. The expectations have been huge on the movie and let us see how it gelled with the anticipations.

Story:

Dasanna (Srikanth) is a rugged youngster who lives in a ‘basthi area’ and his life style includes only fights, daily intake of alcohol and non-veg. His livelihood depends on rowdism. In the process he happens to encounter an advocate Krishnaveni (Bhavana) who keeps on bailing him out whenever he gets into police case.

On the other hand a political rivalry runs between ruling party leaders Dattanna (Jayaprakash Reddy) and Kalarani (Jyothy). In the flow of events, Dasanna happens to become a tool between Datthanna and Kalarani.

But Gandhism attracts Dasanna all of a sudden. He stops alcohol, non vegetarianism and also fights. He starts the process of accepting mistake. How that affected him? How that helped his area? That forms rest of the story.

Performances:

Srikanth:
He did his best with utmost care. His expressions worked really well for every scene. He also tried to show some expertise in dances as well although choreography is pretty poor. The shades of his portrayal in Shankaradada Zindabad are seen on some scenes.

Bhavana:
She is the biggest minus for the movie and there is nothing more speak about.

Jagan:
Although a trivial role, he deserves a paragraph here. He appears in various get ups- NTR, Tanguturi Prakasam. Pingala Vekayya, Alluri Seeta Rama Raju, Potti Sree Ramulu and Gandhiji. The song ‘Kontha mandi inti peru…’ was shot on him.

Brahmanandam appears in guest comedy and that is just ok. Jayaprakash Reddy aptly grooved in the role of Datthanna. Jyothy is ok as Kalarani. Uttej and Paruchuri Venkateshwara Rao have played as side kicks to protagonist.

Charmee spilled glamour in an item song and Navneeth Kaur also made her hot presence on screen although appeared for a few seconds.

Editing has suffered some problems (Gandhi’s statue looks shabby for some time and clean and neat for other time in the same scene). Cinematography is good. Story is fine and screenplay could have been better. On a whole it’s a laudable attempt by director but could have carried the subject with more intensity.

Highlights:
Title song ‘Talayetti jeevinchu..’
Song on Gandhiji ‘Kontha mandi inti peru kaadura Gandhi..’

Disappointments:
Heroine
Dialogues (except ‘kattana..kottana’ and ‘amma ..neeyamma’)
No proper comedy

Analysis:
The take-off of the movie is pretty hysterical with the title song ‘Talayetti jeevinchu Tammudaa..’ But the actual story wouldn’t start till the interval bang. The beginning of second half promises bigger things but that goes with various ups and downs. First 45 minutes of the movie goes in run of the mill style and that could have been confined to 20 minutes jumped into actual story.

The song ‘Indiramma inti peru kaadura Gandhi’ that raised controversy was changed to ‘Konthamandi inti peru kaadura Gandhi’. But Censor didn’t bother to cut down the word ‘f...k off’ used by artiste Jyothy for Kalarani character in first half.

Director seems to have ignored masses and that is evident through his selection of heroine and the get up given to her. Any other heroine would have aptly fitted in the requirement.

On a whole, the spirit of non violence, truth, accepting the mistake and perseverance are conveyed in this attempt through some scenes. But more homework should have done to make it a better product since the title is ‘Mahatma’!!!

K Viswanath's Swathi Kiranam (1992) Songs Lyrics

2009-10-07T01:31:00.000-07:00

Movie : Swathi Kiranam

Year : 1992

Starring: Mammooty, Radhika, Master Manjunath, Jayanthi, Achuth, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam

Producer: V.Madhusudhan Rao

Director: K.Viswanath

Music: K.V.Mahadevan

Editing: G.G.Krishna Rao

Art: Ashok Kumar

Story:

The film starts with an old man living as a recluse near a famous temple. When he ventures out to a farm, he is beaten by the farmers who believe that he has come to steal the goats. When they hand him over to the police, the officer in charge identifies him as a once famous musician, Anantha Sharma (Sangeeta Samrat = Emperor of music), who has been missing for four years. The inspector informs his aunt (who teaches music in his native village) of this and the past of Anantha Sharma is narrated through flashback.

(Begin flashback) Anantha Sharma is a widely respected Carnatic singer with a large ego. This is established when he rejects the Padma Sri bestowed upon him by the Government of India, as he believes that the other awardees are not worthy to be mentioned with him.

Gangadhar (Master Manjunath) lives in the same village. He rejects the norm (taking music classes and going to school) and sits by the riverside. The river inspires him to sing many songs in different tunes. His music teacher, also the policeman's aunt, recognizes his natural talent and tries to nurture it. His school teacher (the music teacher's husband) is also fond of Gangadhar.

Gangadhar wants to become a great singer like Anantha Sharma and his father(Dharmavarupu Subrahmanyam) encourages him. His day comes when Anantha Sharma is honored in an auditorium. Gangadhar sings a song ("Aa Nathi Neeyara") in honor of Anantha Sharma which many consider to be much better than any of Anantha Sharma's four decades of work. The boy is hailed as a child prodigy by everyone, including the music teacher's wife.

Anantha Sharma wants to imprison Gangadhar's talents. So he asks Gangadhar to stay in his house and learn music as one must be well-experienced to sing on stage. He goes to the extent of copying one of his tunes and he sings it on stage to get back his lost glory. But Gangadhara and Anantha's wife (Radhika) find out. He now feels guilty and defends himself that he has done it as he was afraid this child will destroy his name and fame etc.

In this emotional moment, he suffers a heart-attack. To show his gratitude towards his adopted mother (Radhika), Gangadhar kills himself. For this means that there is no competition for Anantha Sharma's title of "Sangeeta Samrat." But the event shocks the villagers and they start calling him a murderer. To escape the public anger and insults, he runs away to be a recluse (End flashback).

Anantha Sharma is still unconscious while in the police station. When he awakes, he finds himself in the house of Gangadhar's music teacher. The husband of music teacher tells him that they have forgiven him and asks him to go back to his house. At his house, he finds his wife(Radhika) conducting music classes in his house (an institute named as 'Gangadhar Music Academy') for little children.

He sits down amongst the children learning the music basics from his wife. The movie end with a scene when a young girl next to him chides him gently by correcting his way of singing a basic song note.

Ramoji's NINNU KALISAKA (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

2009-10-02T07:57:00.000-07:00

Film: Ninnu Kalisaaka

Rating: 1.5/5

Banner: Usha Kiron Movies

Cast: Santosh, Chaitanya, Pia, Deepa Shah, Krishnudu, Anita, M S Narayana, master Bharath, Siva Nageswara Rao, Tarun master, Jagapathi Babu etc

Music: Sunil Kasyap

Cinematography: B L Sanjay

Editing: Gautham Raju

Art: Vivek

Director: Siva Nageswara Rao

Producer: Ramoji Rao

Release date: 02/10/2009

Ramoji Film City banner, Siva Nageshwara Rao’s direction, Ramoji Rao’s production, youth oriented story with new faces….would certainly raise some expectations. At least audiences assume that there would be a matured narration with streamlined thought. Let us see how far those expectations were reached.

Story:

A twisted tale of romance, the story is about two couples- Chandu (Chaitanya) and Bindu (Piya), Abhiram (Santosh) and Deepa (Deepasha). The story takes a turn when Abhiram and Bindu have to go to US on a project for three months and as fate would have it, they are on the same project.

Their friendship seems to be slowly developing into attachment and by the time the project is over, they feel that they are in love.

Are they really in love? What happens to the love that they are already in? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Chaitanya has got very photogenic features and proved his mettle in dance. He dances better than many experienced heroes. He shows a promising future. But he needs to concentrate on continuity aspect. He looked soft and tender in some scenes and rugged with muscles in other. He needs to maintain uniformity through out a movie which he should learn.

Santhosh Samrat is sharp in features but needs to prove with dances and other mass oriented stuff to continue as actor in future. Experimentation with costumes is also not done well with this actor. Even in dances he appeared with cotton trousers!!

Piya and Deepasha are just average both in looks and performance as per present standards in demand.

Dialogues are very weak and sometimes confusing with all C-grade material. They have also filled the heads of audiences with negative energy. Songs are also feeble except ‘Dilse Dilse..’ and SP Balu’s song. Re Recording is also over loud.

Director Siva Nageshwara Rao appeared in Amitabh Bachchan’s get up in the film but couldn’t deliver the required stuff due to weak script. Cinematography and art departments worked well all over.

Highlights:

Nothing

Disappointments:

Everything except MS Narayana’s dialogues regarding his son and wife

Analysis:

The purpose is not at all served. No one understood why the movie was made. The movie would have dealt with more sincerity and commitment to touch the hearts of audiences. It’s lacked in spirit and hence lost the purpose.

First half is disgusting and the second half is repugnant. It’s hard to digest for sincere lovers and the audience those are not into love would lose faith on that after watching this movie.

It’s a painful experience for audience and not at all a gainful product for makers.

Verdict: Poor film with Ramoji Rao’s stamp?!!!

Nagarjuna, Chitrangada Singh and Mamta Mohandas's New Flick titled as RUMMY

2009-09-25T23:58:00.000-07:00

Nagarjuna’s upcoming action film, which was earlier tentatively titled 23, is likely to be renamed Rammi, it is said. Being directed by debutant director Kiran Kumar with noted Bollywood actress Chitrangada Singh and Mamtha Mohandas as the heroines, the film is progressing at a brisk pace in a specially-erected set at Nanakramguda Studios.

D. Siva Prasad Reddy of Nenunnanu, Boss and King fame is producing the flick under the banner of Kamakshi Kala Movies. It is learnt that this film, based on gambling, is being planned for a December release.

Meanwhile, according to latest reports, the actor-turned-entrepreneur is planning to renovate his studio and establish an institute to train film and TV aspirants. "According to a study, there will be 2 lakh jobs in TV and films a couple of years down the line," he said during an interview.

Nithin and Ileana starring RECHIPO (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

2009-09-25T06:08:00.000-07:00

Film: Rechipo

Rating: 2.5/5

Cast: Nithin, Ileana, Ahuti Prasad, MS Narayana, Sunil, Raghu Babu etc

Choreography: Prem Rakshit

Music: Mani Sharma

Editing: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao

Fights: Selva

Art: Babji

Producer: GV Ramana

Story, Screenplay, Direction: Paruchuri Murali

Released On: 25th Sep 2009

Nithin and success star Ileana have come up today with ‘Rechipo’. Has the movie got the potential implied in title to bulldoze box office? Let us see.

Story:

Shiva (Nithin) is a young thief who robs from stinking rich and distributes that among poor and needy. He learns that there is Rs 500 Cr in Home Minister’s house. He chalks out a plan and robs that. But that amount is the one seized by police from mafia gang those earn through Cricket Betting.

Knowing that his men were arrested and Rs 500 Cr was seized, the mafia head in Dubai kidnaps Home Minister’s daughter Krishna Veni (Ileana) and demands to release his men and pay back Rs 500 Cr immediately.

Then Shiva, who also happens to be the love interest of Krishna Veni flies to Dubai, fights with mafia dons and rescues her. But what happens to Rs 500 Cr? Did he give that back? That forms the climax.

Presentation:

Nithin: He is ok with respect to dances and projecting his physical fitness. But he needs to upgrade a lot in dialogue delivery.

Ileana: Ileana’s screen presence is good but could be better with quality cinematography.

Ahuti Prasad is ok as Home Minister and Bhanuchander is needless as Police Commissioner.

MS Narayana scored well as comedian but Sunil is below average. Raghu Babu’s comedy is disgusting. There is problem with timing in dialogue in some scenes.

Director failed to bring in conviction to his narration. He failed by projecting heroine’s father as Home Minister. He would have shown him as a big businessman for normal believability. How can Home Minister dare to depend on a thief to bring back his kidnapped daughter from mafia dons? What happens to his system and influence in Government level? And Police Commissioner too standing dumb and depending on young thief…..hero killing the villain by battering on his head and hero standing strong even though a bullet hits on left side of his chest…blah blah blah. The story cannot deserve a place even in any children’s stories book of this present juncture.

Highlights:
Ileana
Production Values

Disappointments:
Music
Story Line
Comedy by Raghu Babu
Excessive usage of graphics

Analysis:

It’s a full dose masala movie but spice less. The line, narration and histrionics are obsolete and not gripping. It’s the film made with routine formula of songs, fights and comedy scenes. But the conviction is missing on a whole although ok when looked at bits and pieces.

The story line chosen is much below the conviction level. Home Minister and Commissioner taking the help of a thief to get back the minister’s kidnapped daughter from Dubai from the clutches of international mafia dons……..!!! That’s not an exciting theme for contemporary mass audience.

On a whole, it’s a movie made with rich production values but the patronage of targeted audience is doubtful. It may not be a safe project with respect to budget incurred and output delivered.

Ram's "Ganesh...Just Ganesh" Review by Greatandhra.com

2009-09-24T06:02:00.000-07:00

Film: Ganesh-Just Ganesh
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Ram, Kajal, Sameer, Kasi Viswanath, Ashish Vidyarthi, Poonam Kour, Rohini Attangadi etc
Dialogues: Abburi Ravi
Camera: Hari
Music: Mickey J Mayer
Lyrics: Sirivennela, Rama Jogayya Sastry
Art: Peketi Ranga
Action: Peter Heins
Editing: Sreekar Prasad
Producer: Sarvanthi Ravi Kishore
Story, Screenplay, Direction: Saravanan
Released On: 25th Sep 2009

This is the movie that’s released without any hype. It hasn’t been in big discussion till its release. Hence the expectations weren’t high on this. Let us see how far it entertained audiences.

Story:
Ganesh (Ram) is a young man who knows nothing but helping others. His friend loves a girl but he fears to let that known to his father (Kasi Viswanath) . The idea of the father is to get his son married to his niece Divya (Kajal).

Hence Ganesh plans to make Divya fall in his love so that line will be clear for his friend to marry his love interest. He implements the plan by becoming a tenant to Divya in Express Towers Apartments, Kondapur. The apartment is famous for mischievous children and their playful acts. But how Ganesh becomes close to them and how he sees success in his plan? That has to be watched on screen.

Meanwhile Mahadev (Ashish Vidyarthi), a hooligan disturbs the society with his goondaagiri. A comedy don Yadagiri (Brahmanandam) also presents parallel to him. How Ganesh settles these accounts forms the action and mass comedy part.

Performances:
Ram: He is at his best by all means. First to say is about his dances. He has improved a lot and his dances are with full of grace. His timing in dialogue delivery and energy levels in performance are also good. He proves to be best bet for family entertainers.

Kajal: She has caught the attention with beautiful screen presence once again and scored well with performance as well.

Child Artistes: The biggest asset for this film is child artistes. Everyone has delivered the best output and entertained audiences. Director could have banked on these tiny talents and extend scenes on them for better narration of the whole story. The boy who acted in role of Nani is quite interesting. His exam hall scene and getting 72% marks entertained audiences. The stout boy in the group who tests the protagonist whether he is really a Super Man is humorous. Another boy wearing spectacles also made his presence felt. Other child artistes also acted up to the mark.

Ashish Vidyarthi is adequate in his negative role but there is no big punch for that. Poonam Kour acted as side kick for hero and heroine although she looked more graceful than heroine in some frames. Sameer is ok in his character as brother to Kajal. Rohini Attangadi appeared in a guest role.

The technical departments are ok. Music is well placed by Mickey J Mayer although not on par with his previous flicks. The song ‘Tanemando…’ is almost similar to ‘Nijamga Nenenaa’ from KBL. Other songs are just above average. Cinematography deserves good mention and the costumes department also worked well. Director did well but failed to focus on screenplay. The story is highly predictable till the climax without any twists and turns. And he failed to spruce up the second half adequately. It became elastic.

Highlights:

* Child Artistes
* Ram’s Dances
* Costumes
* Music

Disappointments:

* No interesting story line
* Weak second half
* Lengthy narration in second half
* Lack of sufficient humor in second half
* Flat and predictable narration

Missed Opportunities:

* The scenes of dog that stops chasing once seeing a hug should have extended with more scenes for better laughs
* The children walking into Divya’s house to negotiate marriage terms with her brother (Sameer) should have made a parody out of similar scene in old movie ‘Seetakoka Chiluka’ for humor.

Analysis:
The first half is better but second half is elastic. The movie promises huge entertainment till the interval and brings hopes that second half will be on par. But the expectations have come down due to length. It is true that length marred the strength of the movie. And the children episode with more entertainment could have added right value.

It is crucial for any film to possess with strong second half when compared to first half. But here it has become inversed. The audiences those stand up from their seats after the completion of the movie feel that first half is better. That drops the graph on a whole.

To sum up, it’s a film that can be watched by all family members at least for children episode. But at the same time one needs to carry lot of stamina to bear with lengthy second half that runs with no excitement.

Krishna Vamsi's MAHATMA Audio Release Function - Coverage

2009-09-22T04:20:00.000-07:00

Music of Mahatma movie was launched today at a function organized in Novotel hotel on the night of 21 September. Tushar Gandhi (great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi), Mohan Babu, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Nagababu, Allu Arjun, Tarun, SS Rajamouli, Charmme, Allu Arvind, Achi Reddy, Muthyala Subbaiah and Tammareddy Bharadwaja attended the function along with the cast and crew members.

Vijay Anthony scored music in this 100th movie of Srikanth. CR Manohar produces it in the direction of Krishna Vamsi. Supreme music bought the audio rights.

Mohan Babu launched the new logo of Supreme music on this eve.

Tushar Gandhi launched audio and gave the first unit to Mohan Babu.

I am obsessed with Gandhi since childhood - Sirivennela
Speaking on the occasion Sirivennela said, "I asked Krishna Vamsi why he tends to make these kind of movies. I think he doesn't belong to the herd to churn out commercial movies. He has shown the new dimension of Mahatma Gandhi in this movie. A normal human being has it in to become a Mahatma. Krishna Vamsi narrated this point in a convincing manner. Mahatma Gandhi written a book called 'My Experience with the Truth'. Krishna Vamsi's Mahatma encompasses the gist of that book. Vijay Anthony was a sound engineer and sound mixing specialist before becoming the music director. And I am glad that he composed songs in such a way that music never dominated the lyrics. I am shocked at the intensity of dialogues written by Paruchuri brothers. Balu song a vital song that is penned by me. I am obsessed with Gandhi since my childhood. I am feeling fortunate to pen a song on him. The entire Gandhi's gist is encompassed in that 3 minute song. Srikanth gave a superb performance."

Srikanth is ajatha satruvu - Mohan Babu
Mohan Babu said, "Srikanth is a good actor and we acted together in a movie tiled Tappuchesi Pappu Koodu. Srikanth is also a good human being and he has no enemies. He never speaks ill about others. I am always fascinated by Krishna Vamsi's work and I wish that he would give a role to me in his movies. I wish that Srikanth's 100th film will run for 100 days."

Venkatesh said, "I worked with Srikanth for three movies - Kondapalli Raja, Abbai Garu and Sankranthi. Srikanth is the only hero in this industry who is friend to everybody. From the trailers, i made out that Mahatma is an intense movie and I am sure that it will become a big hit."

Tammareddy Bharadwaja said that Krishna Vamsi is the director whose films reflect Telugutanam after Bapu's.

I would runaway from directing films like Mahatma - SS Rajamouli
SS Rajamouli said, "I met Krishna Vamsi when he came to meet Gangaraju Gunnam at his house. I was working as an assistant director at that time. Krishna Vamsi delivered Gulabi and he was working on the script of Ninne Pelladatha. At that time he asked me to pen dialogues for Ninne Pelladatha movie. I was really surprised at his guts of offering a struggling assistant director to pen dialogues for such a big star's movie. If somebody asks me to direct a subject of Mahatma movie, I would runaway. But Krishna Vamsi is such a director who loves to make meaningful movies."

Allu Arjun said, "I had become more patriotic after watching Krishna Vamsi's Khadgam. My favorite movie of Srikanth is Operation Duryodhana. Srikanth is the only hero in Telugu film industry whom I call as Annayya."

A film like Mahatma should be encouraged - Tushar Gandhi
Tushar Gandhi said, "Initially I was skeptical about Mahatma movie because lots of people tried to contact me for various films made on Mahatma in the past. Lots of unnecessary liberties were taken. When these people contacted me, I asked them to send me the synopsis. I was surprised after reading it. Bapu always believed that even if there is some percentage of goodness in a human being it can be cultivated to drive out all other evil forces. Bapu always believed in the power of change. A film like Mahatma should be encouraged because it it communicates the principles of Mahatma in a language that a common man could understand."

Music director Vijay Anthony who is basically a Tamilian surprised everybody by speaking in complete Telugu. He said that he understood the potential of Mahatma when he was doing re-recording. He expressed his confidence over the commercial success of the movie.

Entire credit of Mahatma should go to Krishna Vamsi - Srikanth
Srikanth said, "I am very happy today. It was Ramoji Rao who encouraged me into films with Peoples Encounter. Tammareddy Bharadwaja made me hero with 1/2 movie. Rama Naidu gave a hit to me as hero with Taj Mahal movie. SV Krishna Reddy and EVV consistently cast me as hero in their movies. I would like to thank all the people who supported me throughout the journey. I am proud of doing Krishna Vamsi's Mahatma. The entire credit of Mahatma should go to Krishna Vamsi. It is a huge budgeted film and my friend Manohar came forward to produce it against all odds. I also want to thank my brother Anil for helping me."

Krishna Vamsi concluded it by saying that Srikanth is his friend for the past 17 years and Mahatma is going to be a memorable gift to him.
