Banner: Visakha Talkies
Cast: Rajasekhar, Kamalini Mukherjee, Jayprakash reddy, Jhansi , Rohit, Master Bharath, Yashwanth
Story: Bhupathi Raja
Action: Kannal Kannan
Dialogues: Paruchuri Brothers
Editing: Gowtham Raju
Music: S.A.Rajkumar
Producer: Natti Kumar
Screenplay-Direction: Jonnalagadda Srinu
CBFC Rating: U

Story: Siva (Rajasekhar) loses his parents at an early age and he takes up the responsibility of bringing up his six younger brothers (Aditya Om, Rohit, Raj Kalyan, Yashwanth, Uttej, and Bharath).All the brothers share good emotional bonding and can’t live without one another. Manju (Kamalini Mukherjee) falls in love with Shiva for his good deeds. Manju hates large families (for obvious reasons), knowing that Siva lies that he has only one brother and marries her. What happens when she comes to know the truth?

Performances: Rajasekhar is good as elder brother and he performed well. Kamalini Mukherjee looked glamorous. All the brothers have done their part well. Jhansi is good as a working woman. Jayprakash reddy played a key role. Brahmannadam and L.B.Sriram made some guest appearances. Music by S.A.Raj Kumar is Average. Cinematography is good. Editing could have been better. The story is very simple. The screenplay is not up to the mark and the narration is nothing new.


Analysis: Rajasekhar has come with yet another Sentimental and emotional flick after ‘Gorintaaku’. The movie has all the ingredients to appeal to B, C centers and masses. Story given by Bhupathi raja is a single line one which is very hard to develop with proper padding scenes. There are no additional threads to carry the movie forward. The story line itself reminds you of 90’s sentimental flicks. The story is similar to that of Vikraman’s Maa Annayya (Rajasekhar, Meena). The simple point was stretched to the maximum for duration of two and hours. Dialogues by Paruchuri are okay in parts but it is hard to bear lengthy dialogues at times. Fights are well choreographed by Kannal kannan (Even though most of them were of Wire work).Cinematography was good to some extent and editing can be better. Music by SA Raj Kumar is below average and the re-recording is as usual (a Pathos song hummed by the chorus through out the film).The Screenplay is very predictable and the Direction is old fashioned.

Rajasekhar has delivered good performance. He emoted well in the sentimental Scenes. Sai kumar has dubbed his Voice and it helped a lot. Kamalini Mukherjee is okay as the female lead; she looked glamorous and sensuous in the songs. All the actors who played the brothers role has done average job. Bharath is okay as youngest brother who is fond of food. Jayprakash Reddy got a meaty role and he shares more screen presence. Comedians LB Sriram and Brahmannadam were wasted. There is no entertainment at all. The Climax Delivery Scene reminds us of Hindi flicks SALAM NAMASTE and 3 IDIOTS.

We have to wait and see how the film fares at B, C Centers.

'Kothi Muka 2010' Telugu Movie Review

'Kothi Muka 2010' Movie Review

Banner: Tulasi Poojitha Films
Cast: Krishnudu, Sraddha Arya, Brahmanandam, Ali, M.S Narayana, Raghu Babu, Venu Madhav, Kondavalasa, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Harshavardhan, Gundu Hanumantha Rao, Kovai Sarala, Hema etc;
Dialogues: Janardhan Maharshi
Editing: Varma
Cinematography: Srinivas reddy
Music: Mani Sharma
Producer: Venkat Jagadish
Story-Screenplay-Direction: AVS
CBFC Rating: ‘U’

Story: Ramana (Krishnudu) son of MLA (Jayprakash reddy) falls in love with his college mate Lavanya (Sraddha Arya). Ramana’s father is not ready to accept her as daughter-in-law as she is daughter of a beggar Anjaneyulu (AVS). Anjaneyulu too decides to become MLA and how far he is successful in his attempt forms the remaining story.


Performances: Krishnudu repeats the same chubby looks with innocent deeds. Sraddha Arya looks sweet. AVS suited well to the role of beggar but irritates you with his over action. Jayprakash reddy and Kovai Sarala are loud. The comedians Brahmanandam, Ali, Venumadhav, Raghu babu made guest appearances. Cinematography and editing are mediocre. Music by Mani Sharma is not appealing. The story is weak and the screenplay is boring. Dialogues by Janardhan Maharshi are okay. The Direction is not up to the mark


Analysis: Kothimooka title builds a lot of hopes among the audience before entering into the theaters but AVS has done very poor work on the script side and disappoints in the narration part too. AVS has delivered one more Dud and this movie joins his previous flop list “Ori Nee Prema Bangaram Gaanu”, “Roommates”,. AVS tried to imitate EVV (titles presentation) and Jandhyala garu (comedy Presentation) but failed in substance. One thing AVS has to remember is that to deliver Comedy Hit films is not an easy task and Jandhyala garu was a successful Comedy Director because he perfectly presented burning/Contemporary (Dowry, Un Employment etc issues which are interleaved by healthy comedy.


Kothimooka has nothing to boast about, the comedians Brahmannadam, Ali, Venu Madhav appear only in the Second half (talking over Cell phone most of the times). The parody Song picturised on them as Election campaign was okay. Mani Sharma delivered very weak Music (Only one melody was good). The background Score is unimpressive. The remaining technical departments too fail in making a mark. Janardhan Maharshi is the only person who has done Average job, the dialogues are okay (Even though he reused his own previous punch/Comedy Dialogues). Ring tones of Harshavardhan’s cell phone evoked some laughs.

Krishnudu, Shradda have minimum roles more screen Space is shared by Jayprakash Reddy and AVS. Jayprakash Reddy has done okay job but AVS irritates with his over action and the message he wants to deliver is “Do Not Make Politics BUSSINESS”—by the time he delivers it (Even before the Movie ends) the Audience start leaving the Auditorium.
