Vinaya Vidheya Rama Story: Ram is one among the five orphaned boys in Visakhapatnam, adopted by a doctor who ensures them a roof to live under, with dignity. Ram goes to any extent to protect his family and he's a handful for the baddie to handle in a time of crisis. How does Ram protect his family when they need him the most?

Vinaya Vidheya Rama Review: Commercial potboilers are never expected to be believable, because the joy in watching them is their larger than life nature. And there's a certain pattern to ensuring that high for a viewer. Boyapati Srinu as a filmmaker has time and again excelled at building a perfect emotional context to his action sequences in films starring top stars. However, in the process of doing that, he's repeated himself way often and the tipping point comes in Vinaya Vidheya Rama, where Boyapati becomes a pale shadow of himself as a storyteller. The problem with Vinaya Vidheya Rama isn't the deja vu factor but the fact that the filmmaker takes the audiences and cinematic liberties for granted.

Starring a confident and a fit Ram Charan in the lead role, the premise of Vinaya Vidheya Rama is as old as the hills. Five orphans, the youngest of them being Ram (Ram Charan), are raised by a doctor in Visakhapatnam. Ram is so fond of his extended family that he gives up his schooling to take deserving care of them. Even as he grows up, Ram is quite content in not doing a job and continues his violent ways, protecting his brothers and often rubbing the wrong side of the baddies. As his elder brother Bhuvan Kumar is appointed as an election officer and flies to Bihar for duty, Ram and his family are at the receiving end of Raja bhai, a brooding don. Who's Raja bhai and how Ram rescues his family from this crisis? These are the answers you're bound to find in the second hour of Vinaya Vidheya Rama.

There's never a moment in this actioner where you feel for the characters. But for an efficient performance by Ram Charan who tries hard to give an emotional context to his outbursts and his killing spree, nothing works in favour of Vinaya Vidheya Rama. Ram's brothers are portrayed as a meek lot who have no job but to sing praises of their youngest sibling. Prashanth returns to the silver screen with a cringeworthy part as the eldest of the siblings in the family, a government officer who's always waiting to unleash a barrage of punchlines at the wrong-doers every alternate sequence.

Equally audacious is Raja bhai as the antagonist, played by Vivek Oberoi, who makes his victims wear bangles, anklets, asking them to dance in the streets for his sadistic joy. The girls in the film, Sneha, Kiara Advani among many in a typical patriarchal setup have to always look upto the men for hope. Sneha gets ample screen space but it's a clear case of the actor merely filling up the frames than doing much. There's no respite with the thumping background score and the soulless music either. Though logic isn't something you'd expect in a film of this nature, the entire thread of Prashanth sending an untraceable location over Whatsapp to Ram Charan is laughable. And this is only one among many. Vinaya Vidheya Rama is a misfire on most counts.

Critic's Rating: 2.5/5

           

F2 MOVIE REVIEW

Fun And Frustration Review: When it comes to humour, there’s not one kind of it that’ll tickle everyone’s funny bone. Some like it subtle, some slapstick, and then there are those who like it situational, while others prefer roasts. But, there’s also the category who love to laugh their sorrows away with cliché funny message forwards about how difficult marital life really is. That is the category Anil Ravipudi is presumably looking to tap into with this film, which is filled with dialogues that truly do sound like finely tuned forwards. 

Venky (Venkatesh) is an orphan looking for marriage proposals and is found suitable by Harika (Tamannaah) because she’s not looking to marry into a family. Varun (Varun Tej) is a carefree Telangana youth who is head-over-heels in love with Harika’s sister, the multi-talented Honey (Mehreen Pirzada) for a whole whopping month before her family decides to get them engaged and married soon after. However, it’s not soon before the Cobras (co-brother-in-laws) decide they’re better off without the women in their lives and decide to flee to another country. But what happens when the women decide to give them a taste of their own medicine?

The basic plot of the film has been done and dusted in Indian films so many times, there’s really nothing anyone can do to make it unique. The first half of the film seems like one long rant by frustrated men on how women always nag. The second half, which takes place in Europe, is one disjointed mess which brings in more characters, including Prakash Raj who plays the women’s family friend. Anil Ravipudi seemingly relies on the humour part of the film to pull it through so much; he seems to have decided to not invest in fleshing out any of the characters. The men are all innocent victims falling prey to the nagging women they’re married to, end of story. Logic of course goes for a toss, which is fine seeing as how the genre itself doesn’t call for much.

The good news however, is that Venkatesh is in full form here, mouthing even the most cliché one-liners with sincerity and panache; you can’t help but find yourself laughing along. He invests not just with his dialogue delivery but even the body language and expressions. Varun Tej on the other hand delivers an earnest performance, not just looking like a million bucks but holding his own in a film he could easily drown in. It is only his Telangana accent that’s a mild put off, seeing as how he’s unfortunately accompanied by Priyadarshi initially, who’s a pro at delivering even the simplest lines in Telangana with flair. Tamannaah and Mehreen, who don’t even get introduction titles like the former two do, make the best of what they’re offered. Mehreen is particular carries her character through even though it’s so easy to make her seem caricature-ish. The sad part though is despite the ample screen-time they’re given, focus seems to be on sporadically showing off their ‘glamour’ by donning them in flimsy sarees, lingerie or even bikinis. Prakash Raj, Vennela Kishore, Jhansi, Rajendra Prasad and co nail their roles, if only they had a better story to bank on. 

However, give this one a chance this weekend if you’re looking for something that you can leave your brains at home for and enjoy irrespective of the tired old template. More so, give it a go for Venkatesh, who saves this film from sinking into oblivion. But give it a cold hard miss if outdated humour and gender tropes are not your cup of tea. 

Fun And Frustration Story: Venky (Venkatesh) marries Harika (Tamannaah) with high hopes of leading a happy married life. Varun (Varun Tej) loves Harika’s sister Honey (Mehreen Pirzada) and gets engaged to her with the same objective in mind. But what happens when the men realise they’re better off as bachelors?

' Bheemili kabaddi Jattu 2010 Movie Review '

 Bheemili kabaddi Jattu 2010, Bheemili kabaddi Jattu 2010 songs, Bheemili kabaddi Jattu 2010 audio, Bheemili kabaddi Jattu 2010 movie, Bheemili kabaddi Jattu 2010 review

 

Presented By: R.B.Choudary
Banner: Megaa Super Good Films (Pvt.) Ltd
Cast: Naani, Saranya, Mohan, Kishore, others
Editing: Nadamuri Hari
Art: Kumar
Cinematography: Chitti Babu
Music: Selva Ganesh
Producers: N.V.Prasad, Paras Jain
Screenplay-Direction: Tatineni Satya

 Story: Soori (Naani), boy from Bheemili is deeply interested in Kabaddi right from childhood; his interest in the game is such that sometimes he misses even his meals. His father dies in a freak accident and he is forced to work in the farmlands dropping his studies. Naani is given chance only to play as a substitute in the game. Soori meets ---No Name-- (Saranya Mohan) in the village fest and they both fall in love. Will Soori ever get a chance to play in Bheemili Kabaddi Team?? What happened to his love forms the rest?

Performances: Naani looked apt for the role and he has done a very good job. Saranya suited well to the role, her histrionics are fantastic as usual. Kishore as Coach has done good job. The remaining cast supported well. Cinematography was good. The Art direction and Editing are Okay. Music is in mood with the film and a couple of songs are melodious. Direction is good. The production values are okay.


Analysis: Naani best suited to the boy-next-door-role, his costumes and body language was good. Saranya has done breezy role. She has very less dialogues (she dubbed her own voice), she impresses most of the times with her Sweet and cute looks. Kishore (he too dubbed his voice) after HAPPY movie got a noticeable role as Coach of the team who pumps up confidence in the Team. Artist who has done as Hero’s mother has done decent job. The reaming artists (Especially Kabaddi team Members) have done hilarious job.

The movie is remake of Tamil film ‘VENNILA KABADI KUZHU’.
The Screenplay is the same. It’s a frame to frame re-make. A Theme song was added additionally. Dialogues are very much natural and crispy. Camera work by Chitti Babu meets the requirements. The Art direction and editing are okay in the Telugu Version too. Music is good, the background Score (melodious Flute bit) is Okay. Screenplay goes sluggish in the first half while the latter part is about good piece of work. The director takes much time to establish all the Characters and the nativity gets slowly injected. The first half an hour is weak.

There are some Scenes which have come out well

• Hero Cycle-Bus Driver Race Scene
• Parota eating- Bet Scene
• Coach Inspiring Speech and Motivation Scene
• The Climax leaves us with a heavy heart

Heroine Character’s name is not revealed in the movie. The Romantic/Love Scenes between the hero-Heroine are half baked. Even though inspired from films like LAGAAN and CHAK DE, the movie has its own flavor

Plus: Performances, Heart touching Scenes
Minus: Slow First half

Verdict: A refreshing and a different film, Can be watched for performances and Feel in the film

' I Hate Luv Storys Movie Review ' ** First on Net **

I Hate Luv Storys Movie Review ,I Hate Luv Storys Movie ,I Hate Luv Storys Movie news,I Hate Luv Storys story

Banner: UTV Motion Pictures, Dharma Productions Pvt. Ltd.

Cast: Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Sameer Dattani, Samir Soni, Kavin Dave, Khusboo Shroff, Bruna Abdullah, Ketki Dave, Anju Mahendru, Shireesh Sharma, Aseem Tiwari and Others.

Background Score: Salim Suleiman.

Choreography: Bosco Caesar.

Cinematography: Ayananka Bose.

Editing: Akiv Ali.

Music: Vishal & Shekhar.

Produced by: Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar and Ronnie Screwvala.

Written & Directed by: Punit Malhotra.

Story: Jay Dhingra (Imran Khan) is an aaj ka chokra. He turns up his nose at anything that remotely resembles soppy sentimentality, even though he works as an assistant to a film maker (Samir Soni) who peddles the most improbable mush on screen.


Enter, the new art director, Simran Sharma (Sonam Kapoor) who eats, sleeps and is drunk heady on ishq-vishq and all that goes with it. A diehard romantic, she even has a perfect boyfriend called Raj (Samir Dattani) who gifts her a white chrysanthemum, each time he meets her. But will the pristine white flowers score over Jay's crazy red roses, and crazier ways? Keep guessing....

Movie Review: First things first. Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor make an interesting pair. After the Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif coupling, this seems to be the most refreshing jodi that's jaunting and jiving on screen. Nice chemistry. Nice tu-tu-main-main (sparring). Nice physical compatibility. And a well-balanced emotional quotient. Kudos to the two of them to carry forth a film which once again doesn't really have anything to boast about in the `storys' department.

Thematically, I Hate Luv Storys, is extremely simplistic, uni-layered and terribly predictable. Imran and Sonam do begin on the we-hate-each-other note, with Imran squirming at any and everything that's filmy while Sonam swears by it all: pink teddys, bunches of blooms, candle-light dinners, Karan Johar films, cuddly Cupid's bows, shooting stars, soppy dialogues and all that made-for-each-other mush. But we all know the way the wind blows, from the word go. Mush shall rule, and how! For all the digs that producer Karan Johar allows on himself (filmmaker Samir Soni is actually a spoof on KJo), we know the film's going to end up reiterating KJo -- and all he translates into onscreen -- as king.

So, Jay Dhingra, who likes girls, but hates girly stuff, is gonna end up crying like a girl very soon. Of course, first he must ridicule Simran for all her `stoopid' misconceptions about lurrrv, including her boyfriend Raj who besides being a frumpish bore, wears `fugly' shirts too. But it doesn't take long for the tables to be turned, twice over. On the one hand, Simran discovers her penchant for Mr Wrong (quirky, irreverent Imran), rather than Mr Right (politically correct Samir). And on the other hand, sceptic Imran succumbs to the love bug, red roses, rain-drenched songs, airport encounters, et all. Only, their turn-overs are mistimed. So that, when Simran says `haan', jokey Jay says `nah!' and when Jay wanna say `yes, yes, yes!', it's a punctilious let's-be-just-friends from the sobered Simran.

Kya khali-peeli confusion, all this babalog blah. But hey, blah can be timepass too. Specially when it has loads of icing on it. Debutant director Punit Malhotra layers his first film with oodles of sugar coating: great locales, mast music (Vishal-Shekhar), a yummy 'n yuppy lead pair, some laugh-out-loud moments and a lot of laugh-on-ourself sequences that ridicule the romcoms that roll out of the Bollywood factory (there are jibes on almost all of Karan Johar films), only to finally reiterate them as pills the public wants. On the performance front, watch out for Imran's endless emoticons (eyebrow lifts, smirks, smileys) and his pronounced pout. And for Sonam's svelte form and pleasant screen presence.

Candy floss floats. Popcorn rules. Go, chew on it.

A word about:

Performances: Cool. Nothing to boast about, but quite watchable, both Sonam and Imran. Together, they share a lively chemistry that keeps the fun rolling. Samir Soni's spoof on Karan Johar-Sanjay Leela Bhansali is cute. Samir Dattani is suitably stiff. He's supposed to be a bore, no.

Story: Punit Malhotra's story is ekdum simple and predictable. But then, when was romance supposed to be rocket science!

Dialogues: Very ordinary. Sometimes corny.

Cinematography: Ayananka Bose creates a visually pretty film.

Music: Vishal-Shekhar create a peppy score that goes well with the pop tenor of the film. Watch out for the title track, Bin Tere and Bahara.

Styling: Manish Malhotra's costumes are the high point: uber cool and urban chic. Lot's of `fugly' shirts juxtaposed against fundoo Tees

Plus: Fresh lead pair, Cinematography, Music


Minus: Thin Plot, Predictable Story and scenes

Verdict: Average fare. The young generation may definitely like it

Cast: Surya, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Nassar, Manorama, Vijay Kumar, Manorama and others

Cinematography: Priyan

Lyrics: Sahithi

Dialogues: Sashank Vennelakanti

Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Produced by: K.E. Gnyanavel, Reliance Big Pictures

Story-Screenplay- Direction: Hari

CBFC Rating: U/A

Rating: 3.5/5.0


Story: Narasimha (Surya) is a strict Sub-Inspector with a good heart who is posted in his native village razole. Kavya (Anushka) is the daughter a great businessman (Nasser) and comes for vacation to the village. After coming across his good nature, she falls for him and even he does. Purushottam (Prakash Raj) is a notorious gangster who threatens people by kidnapping their kids. The story takes a twist once they both meet. What happens after that forms the rest?


Performances: Surya is fantastic and his body language is perfect. Anuskha was good and she suited well to the role. Prakash Raj once again delivers a powerful performance. Vivek’s comedy is okay. Vijay Kumar, Nassar, Radha Ravi supported well with other artists. Cinematography and editing are good. Music by Devi Sri Prasad was okay. A Couple of songs were hum able. Story is simple and the screenplay is good. Direction was good in parts.

Analysis: This film is Surya’s 25th film and is the dubbed version of Tamil film SINGAM. Surya is outstanding with his flawless performance. He has taken a lot of care in his physic and body language. Dialogue delivery was good. His recent flicks didn’t do well at the Box office-so he has taken more care it seems. Anushka was okay as the heroine, she gets more footage. She appeared bit fat in a couple of scenes (put on some weight).The scene where she inspires Surya has come out well. Prakash Raj as usual does an amazing job as the villain. His voice (not dubbed by him) was not effective. Vivek’s comedy will bring a smile to your face .There are a number of supporting actors like Vijay Kumar, Nassar, Radha ravi , Manorama who have done justice to the story.

Hari keeps a tight rein on the screenplay throughout. Hari has penned such a screenplay, which has the right mix of action, fun, frolic, emotions and romance. Hari once again proved that he can do magic with fast paced Screenplay and narration. Cinematography and editing have been put to use with the best results as these technical arenas added momentum to the screenplay. The previous flick (‘AARU’) in the combination of Surya and Hari was just Average. He has taken a lot of care in every minute thing.

Devi Sri Prasad’s music is Average, some songs sound good. Devi as usually repeats and rehashes his own tunes and all the songs sound (orchestrisation) familiar. The background Score can be better. Cinematography and editing are good.

The first half is a little slow but the second half is far more powerful than the first half. The first 30 minutes of the movie runs very slow once Prakash Raj and Surya’s combination scenes begin the movie picks up momentum.

The movie may attract B, C Centers. We have to wait and see how it fares at the A Centers. The Movie is a typical Mass Masala one with right mix of commercial elements.

Plus: Screenplay, Performances


Minus: First half is slow

Verdict: YAMUDU is worth a watch, Average Commercial and Mass Entertainer.

' Pappu Movie Review ' 2010

Pappu,pappu 2010,pappu movie review,pappu 2010 movie review,pappu movie review 2010,papau review,pappu review 2010

Banner: Aarya Entertainments

Cast: Krishnudu, Subbaraju, Deepika, Benarjee, Surya, Shiva Reddy, Uttej, Melkote, Gundu Hanumantha Rao, Narsing Yadav, Malladi Raghava etc.

Cinematographer: Rajendra Kesani

Music Director: Phani Kalyan

Story, Screen play, Direction: Sapan Pasuparthi

Producer: Nalla Praveen Reddy, Nagesh Yada

Krishnudu’s ‘Pappu’ is his latest film after ‘Vinayakudu’ series. Pappu is directed by Sapan Pasuparthi, a debutant director. The story looks unique, but let’s find out ‘Pappu’ movie review to see whether Sapan Pasuparthi handled Krishnudu like Sai Kiran Adivi did?

Story:

Pappu (Krishnudu) is christened as an unlucky chap since childhood. Pappu works for a company owned by Banerjee and everybody in the office ridicules him. Radha (Dipikka) - Banerjee’s daughter also starts working for the company. One night, Radha is abducted by a group, which demands 100 crores to release her. Banerjee takes the help of detective Ram and Krishnudu (Subba Raju) to trace her daughter. Why did Banerjee particularly choose Pappu? The plot unveils eventually as to how Ram and Pappu successfully saved Radha from the culprits.

Analysis:

Pappu movie, directed by debutant Sapan Pasuparthi comes up with a pretty interesting plot, but he failed to narrate in a gripping way. When we are making movies like ‘Pappu’, screenplay carries utmost significance which is lacking here. The introduction to Krishnudu is alright since he establishes his character in the first instance, but as the movie progresses, it is not exciting to watch the character since his nature is already established.

‘Pappu’ movie contains few sensibilities like Sai Kiran Adivi’s Vinayakudu’, however, Sapan Pasuparthi failed to make the mark like Sai Kiran Adivi. Krishnudu’s ‘Pappu’ movie is only good in parts with decent humor. Subbaraju has steals the show in this film and in the second half, he even overtakes Krishnudu. The on-screen chemistry between Subbaraju and Krishnudu is very good.

The climax perhaps should have been better and interestingly narrated. The first half is boring and dull where Krishnudu does some juvenile acts. The second focuses around Subba Raju, and the plot where Krishnudu‘s presence adds humor to the story. But that’s not enough to engage the audience as the Pappu movie turns out to be an ordinary film.

Performances:


Krishnudu looks apt for the title ‘Pappu’. His childish gestures are good as well, however, he needs to come out from ‘Vinayakudu’ cover. He also needs to improve his vocals if he wants to strike the commercial market.

Deepika is making her Telugu movie debut and she looks bad. She is a misfit as she lacks glamour and expressions. Telugu audience cannot connect her.

Subba Raju – He’s the best performer I have to say. Subba Raju fits the role of a detective and does very well. His dialogue delivery and body language are great.

Banerjee, Siva Reddy and Uttej are adequate.

All things considered, Krishnudu’s ‘Pappu’ movie is an ordinary movie and there’s nothing great in the movie that prompts you to put a word to others. The exciting plot has gone disappointed with poor execution.

Cast: Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Prithvi Raj, Karthik, Prabhu, Priyamani, Ranjitha


Dialogues: Sri Ramakrishna


Lyrics: Veturi (Late)


Editing: Srikar Prasad


Art: Sameer Chanda


Cinematography: Santosh Sivan, V.Manikandan


Music: A.R.Rahman


Produced By: Mani Ratnam, Sarada Trilok


Screenplay- Direction: Mani Ratnam


CBFC Rating: ‘U’


Story:

Dev (Prithvi Raj) - Superintendent of Police takes up his new post in a small tribal town. Veera-Veerayya (Vikram) who sets his own rules and guards poor people. The Law enforcing team lead by Dev is after Veera. Veera Kidnaps Ragini (Aishwarya rai) and takes her into the forest, this draws Dev also into the forest and the forest becomes their battle ground. Who wins over who forms the rest?
 

Performances:

Vikram excels in the title role, he is simply superb. Aishwarya rai is beautiful and is o.k. in the role of Ragini. Prithvi Raj suited to the cop’s role. Karthik’s role is uninteresting. Prabhu is okay as brother to Vikram. Priyamani role is brief and she justifies it. The Art direction and editing are good. Cinematography is top rated. Music by A.R.Rahman is in line with the films mood. Story and Screenplay are appealing to some extent but the narration is weak.

Analysis:

‘Villain’ is the dubbed version of Tamil Film RAVANAN; this is the most anticipated film in recent times as it was directed by Mani Ratnam. It is supposed to be the modern day version of the great Indian epic Ramayana. The story runs in the same lines with a twist in the climax but the execution was not up to the mark. First half is okay and the pre climax episode was good. Like Mani’s previous films you can find half of the movie filled with rain Scenes (Songs). The crucial Scenes are unimpressive and don’t emotionally touch you. The movie doesn’t entertain you. This movie too lacks comedy/Entertainment like any other Mani Ratnam’s film. The basic idea of modernizing Ramayana was a good one but badly executed.


The cinematography is by Santosh Sivan, who replaced Manikandan as the cameraman and he has given the film a never before seen look and feel. Mani Ratnam – Santosh Sivan duo has worked wonders before in blockbuster like ‘Roja’, ‘Thalapathi’, ‘Iddaru’ and ‘Dilse’. Music of the movie is composed by Oscar winner A R Rahman with lyrics penned by Veturi. The Music is good and in perfect sync with the mood of the film. The background score is very impressive. The dialogues are not effective, Could have been better. One dialogue of Aishwarya Rai impressed me, the one when she prays to God- “Chedu ni Chedu gaane choopinchu Manchi gaa choopinchaku”. The Art direction and editing are good. The Graphics work in the climax (Bridge Broken Scene) was done to perfection.

Vikram- the versatile actor has given his best till date and has come up with another mind blowing performance. He emoted well in all the Scenes. He dubbed his own voice. Aishwarya looked beautiful (even in the Forest tribal episode- don’t ask me from where she got the make-up kit).Rohini dubbed her voice .Prithvi Raj is impressive as police officer. Priyamani is okay as sister to Vikram; her role is limited to a couple of Scenes only. Prabhu suited to the role of Vikram’s brother. Karthik’s role was not moulded well.

The Movie is strictly for upper classes who like Mani’s Movies. Vikram and his performance is the only reason you can find to watch this film.

' Raavan 2010 Movie Review '

raavan movie review, raavanan movie review, ravana movie review, ravanan review, ravan movie review ,villan movie review,tamil movie villan movie review,telugu vilan movie review

  

Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Vikram, Govinda, Ravi Kishan
Direction: Mani Ratnam

We have interesting excerpts of review for Manirathnam’s upcoming film ‘Raavan’ slated to hit screens tomorrow. This isn’t a full-fledged review as we don’t want to reveal the complete status and break down your expectation levels.

Firstly, it’s all about Vikram, who just overshadows everyone over the screens in spite of Abhishek Bacchan donning the lead character. Maybe Aishwarya Rai was good at certain levels and the films that established her in a completely amazing manner were few. You can easily point them out like ‘Iruvar’, ‘Guru’ and ‘Jodha Akbar’. Undoubtedly, the actress sweeps out every films and establishes her in a newer way.

Story: Cop Dev Pratap Sharma (Vikram) has just one mission in his life. He wants to capture the local outlaw, Beera (Abhishek Bachchan) who may be a Robin Hood for the tribals around, nevertheless, he is a law breaker. More importantly, he has kidnapped the cop's beautiful wife, Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) to avenge a personal grouse and has escaped into the dense jungles. Turn ofevents: the kidnapper falls in love with his trophy victim who too gets indecisive about where her loyalties lie....

Synopsis of Raavan.

The film revolves around three characters: Beera (Abhishek Bachchan), Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and Dev Pratap Sharma (Vikram).

Despites every conflict of opposition, Dev – a righteous cop and Raghini – a classical dancer get married. Soon they move together to the deep-rooted region of Lal Maati, a rural town in North India. This place has no regards for the police and court law, but in the hands of Beera (Abhishek Bacchan). Being a man with his own principles and handling the issues down his way (partially based on Maoist groups), he has no problems until Dev Pratap Sharma enters his way. On a mission to put an end to Beera’s realms, Dev tears the things down as it leads to unexpected twists with shocking and surprising turns.

Broken down in spirits as his happiness is completely lost through his close blood relation, it’s turn for him to retaliate. It is just as you expected as Beera kidnaps Raghini only to find the justice in his own way.

But then, things are completely gonna be different as the journey that upholds in second hour with more characters involved in this drama will surely entertain you with a different dimension.


Movie Review: The epics return again to contemporary cinema. After a re-telling of the Mahabharata against a political backdrop in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti, cineastes can now feast their eyes on a modern-day rewrite of the Ramayana, against a cops-and-robbers canvas.
Feast? Yes. The high point of Mani Ratnam's film is primarily its visual opulence. The film is literally a work of art where one luminescent frame follows another as the scenes keep shifting from one wet and rocky landscape to another misty mountainscape. You can't seem to get enough of the montages that leave you breathless with the excellent camera artistry by Santosh Sivan and Manikandan. From the opening sequences where Beera (Abhishek) smashes his boat into wide-eyed Aishwarya's canoe, to the fleeing, flinging, fulminating visage of Aishwarya, captured against wild waterfalls, turbulent tidal rivers, crumbling trees and silken drizzle, the film is a string of breath taking images. So much so, you seem to forget -- and almost forgive -- the fact that the first half hardly has any story. It is essentially just one prolonged chase, where cop Dev (Vikram) relentlessly pursues criminal Beera (Abhishek Bachchan) in order to rescue his wife (Ragini) and book the fugitive who garners great local support.
The paper-thin plot in the first half, does get you somewhat restless, despite a seminal scene where Sita-esque Aishwarya suddenly discovers a strange new emotion for a Raavan-esque Abhishek. After having labelled him beastly and brutish, a complete low-life when compared to her devta-like husband Dev, she finds herself being involuntarily drawn towards her kidnapper, despite his muddy visage and his gory past. And herein lies the second hook that draws you to the film: it's revisionist tale of a Sita-like heroine flipping for a Raavan-like anti-hero, even as the traditional hero gets imbued in grey tones.... The anti-hero has always remained an alluring figure in cinema lore and Mani Ratnam carries his charisma forward with Raavan.
The second half of the film does get a semblance of story, with adequate twists and turns which reflect the Surpanakha legend (again revised), the Hanuman-Sita encounter, the Agni-pariksha demand (re-interpreted again as a polygraph test) and the film moves from sheer visual to visceral too. There are enough punches in the second half to keep the momentum going, but by and large, the film scores mostly on art and aesthete. Everything seems to be geared to make Raavan an object d'art, including the music (AR Rahman and Gulzar create a few foot-tapping numbers), the stunts, the cinematography and the no-make-up and heavily-made-up look of Aishwarya and Abhishek respectively. However, a little more attention to the narrative was desperately needed in Raavan.
In terms of performance, Aishwarya stands out as the lead actor, with her competent rendition of a woman who is torn between her love and loyalty towards her husband and her attraction towards a misunderstood brigand, with a heart of gold. Vikram, by and large remains a side hero: somewhat undefined and formless while Govinda's Hanuman-like rendition of the forest guard is flippant. Which brings us to Beera: Abhishek Bachchan is immensely watchable, but he fails to lift the character of the anti-hero to another level altogether. Maybe, a less of multani mitti (mud packs) and `bagad billa' antics would have allowed the natural actor in him to surface and bloom. Also, his other two outings with Mani Ratnam -- Yuva and Guru -- definitely tower above Beera.
 

We have a small notice for the audiences, who have decided to watch the film. Before watching it, do not expect Manirathnam to go by the customary features.

Screenplay and direction – V. Samudra.

Panchakshari is a heroine-oriented Telugu Movie with Anushka in lead role. The movie is directed by Samudra V and other important roles are played by Nasser, Chandra Mohan , Pradeep Rawat etc. Panchakshari is releasing with considerable hype as it is another heroine-oriented movie Anushka is acting in after block buster Arundhati. The movie cast made it clear that Panchakshari has no resemblance with Arundhati. 

Story : Venkata Narayana’s (Chandramohan) wife (Rajita) gives birth to a baby girl on the premises of a temple in Janagaon. The temple priest (Subbaraya Sarma) tells them that she has divine blessings and they named her as Panchakshari (Anushka). She grows up and on every Ashada Purnima, the Goddess joins her and Panchakshari resorts to sooth-saying on that day, during Bonalu. Only on that day, she behaves differently but for all the other days she is a normal girl.

A youth Sriram (Samrat) falls in love with her and seeks the help of the priest to get her married. The villagers perform her marriage. There is a cruel villain (Pradeep Rawat) in the village, who comes to know that there is a treasure under the temple and wanted to grab it. In order to grab the treasure, the temple had to be closed. So, he mixes sulphur in turmeric power and set afire Panchakshari at the temple during Bonalu. He also kills some devotees who visit the temple and campaigns that the death of Panchakshari is a bad omen and the temple had to be closed and get it closed permanently.

Watching Panchakshari, her daughter falls sick and Sriram takes her to city for treatment. In the city Sriram accidentally meets Honey (Anushka). He videographs her routine befriends with her. Honey is a fashion designer and has big dreams to hold a fashion show in Paris. As her father (Nazar) and aunt (Telangana Sakuntala) brings pressure on her to marry, she shows one photograph and lies that he (Raviprakash) is staying in the US for higher studies and it will take two years to return to India. What happens next is a intresting part of the story.

PERFORMANCE:Anushka has given an impressive performance in both the roles, as a girl from urban backdrop and a traditional village girl. Especially, her big eyes had become an asset for her and she was very impressive in the Goddess’ attire. She showed good ease in both the roles. Samrat is okay, though made a debut appearance. Pradeep Rawat is at his usual self and did justice to his role. Subbaraya Sarma has got a meaty character and played a full-length role in this film. Chandramohan, Nazar, Raviprakash and others have done justice to their roles. Telangana Sakutala is okay in the role of an Anushka's aunt. The one who played the role of Aghora failed to impress either with his dialogue modulation or his performance.

' Rajaneethi ' Movie Review

Rajaneethi,Rajaneethi 2010,Rajaneethi movie review, Rajaneethi movie review 2010,Rajaneethi mp3, Rajaneethi audio,Rajaneethi movie download

 

RAAJNEETI is a human drama, a complex game that people indulge in to achieve power and how this greed envelopes them and transforms them into ruthless and conniving humans. I admit, it takes time for the story to sink in, but slowly and steadily, you get sucked into a world that's dark, dangerous and demonish. The attire may be white, but the deeds are grey or black. 

Prakash Jha, the persona, is known for qualitative cinema and RAAJNEETI, his new offering, stands tall on the list. Cinema is all about narrating interesting stories on celluloid and for that very reason, RAAJNEETI deserves distinction marks. Of course, the massive star cast and the sparkling performances are the icing on the cake.
  

Bhaskar Sanyal [Naseruddin Shah], the fire-brand leftist leader, is feared for his single-handed ability to challenge the most powerful of leaders. Until one private mistake of his hurtled him into a self-imposed exile.

Cut to the present day. Prithvi [Arjun Rampal] is the heir to a powerful political legacy and impatient to seize the top position. But his cousin, Veerendra [Manoj Bajpayee], proves his biggest political opponent. He's a man who believes he was born to rule and who will now stop at absolutely nothing to claw his way back to the top.

Cornered by family and political colleagues, Veerendra plays a new game: He picks up Sooraj [Ajay Devgn], a youngster with anger in his heart and leadership on his mind. Sooraj doesn't know the secret behind his identity, which, of course, is revealed much, much later.

Prithvi's brother Samar [Ranbir Kapoor] is an 'outsider', with no political aspirations, but he gets sucked into the battle-ravaged arena of family rivalry. Only to turn into a master of the craft of political warfare. Indu [Katrina Kaif], daughter of a wealthy industrialist, is also caught in this web. Last but not the least, there's Brij Gopal [Nana Patekar], who plays the role of mentor and guide to Prithvi and Samar as the battle gets bloodier by the day.

It requires courage to assemble a mammoth, ensemble cast, pick a story that does justice to each character and give the film the feel of an epic. Also, you ought to have comprehensive knowledge of the subject material - politics, in this case. And for all these and more Prakash Jha deserves all the praise possible. He knows the territory like the back of his hand, having observed the political culture very closely. Like I said at the outset, every character in RAAJNEETI is grey or black, not squeaky clean at all.

At an edited length of almost 3 hours, RAAJNEETI keeps the viewers glued to the goings-on for start to end. Anjum Rajabali and Prakash Jha's screenplay brings to the fore the ugly face of democracy most realistically and convincingly. The constant twists-n-turns in the story, the characters who change colours faster than chameleons and the blood-bath they indulge in are the highpoints of this film. In fact, there are sequences that merit brownie points, but it wouldn't be ethical to reveal them here since that would rob the fun while watching the film.

If the screenplay is watertight, the dialogue are equally remarkable. Every line is soaked in acid and only enhances the impact of several sequences. There's no scope for music in the film and the songs, including the hugely popular 'Mora Piya', are interspersed briefly in the narrative. Cinematography is top notch. RAAJNEETI is not an easy film to shoot, given the fact that there are more than 3 or 4 actors in every frame, besides a massive crowd of course.

To slot RAAJNEETI as a multi-starrer film would be erroneous. It's a multi-actor film and every actor delivers a sparkling performance. The film has some of the biggest names in the business, but the ones who stand out are Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpayee. Ranbir surprises you with every film. Here's an actor who can give the best in the business sleepless nights. Arjun is a revelation and what a terrific performance he pitches in. He's like an untamed lion. Manoj delivers his career-best performance. He plays the evil part superbly.

Ajay Devgn is sidelined in the second hour, but you need to give it to the actor for accepting and enacting his part with complete conviction. Nana Patekar is brilliant. He utters the most acidic lines with a smile, which only an actor of calibre could've achieved. Actually, you can't imagine anyone else in this role. Katrina Kaif is first-rate. The sincerity and earnestness shows in every sequence. She sheds her glam doll image and transforms into an actor with this film. Naseeruddin Shah, in a brief role, does well. Sarah is good.

The film has a number of talented names in supporting roles and each remain etched in your memory, especially Dayashanker Pandey, Chetan Pandit, Darshan Jariwala, Shruti Seth, Kiran Karmarkar and Vinay Apte. Nikhila Trikha, as Arjun and Ranbir's mother, is admirable.

On the whole, RAAJNEETI makes a sweeping impact. A truly admirable effort, this brilliant film is not to be missed.

' Vedam Movie Review ' ** First on Net **

vedam movie review, vedam, vedam telugu movie review, vedam telugu movie 2010,Allu arjun vedam movie,vedam movie download,vedam mp3,vedam audio

 

Cast: Allu Arjun , Manchu Manoj Kumar , Anushka Shetty ,
Director: Krish
Producer: Prasad Devineni and Shobu Yarlagadda
Music : M.M Keeravani

In this Vedam Telugu movie Allu Arjun playing a role of cable worker. in Vedam movie Allu Arjun has tried a new and strange look as he is playing cable worker role so he worn cable around his shoulder.
In Vedam movie you can watch five different types of stories.

Allu Arjun [Cable Raju] wants to marry a rich girl [Deeksha Seth] and become rich; wants to get rid of the 'basti' living. Rajesh plays his friend.

Manoj [Vivek Chakravarthy] wants to become a rockstar; keeping aside her mother's wish of joining army. Lekha Washington is his lady love, who also is a part of his own band.

Anushka [Amalapuram Saroja] is a sex worker working under a lady; wants to get out from that place and set her own company she done 100% to her character.

Manoj Bajpai [Qureshia] is an innocent muslim who lost his to-be-born twins because of religion clashes.

Nagayya [Ramulu] is a poor weaver who wants to give his grandchild education at any cost; lands up in Hyd to sell his d-i-l's kidney

All the five characters happen to land in a common place where the movie takes off towards the climax, where humanity takes over terrorism.

Manchu Manoj rocks in the movie and allu arjun had a descent character,anuska is key to the film. Posani in a brief role; Brahmi in a small role, which does not provide great laughter. NO comedy at all to laugh.Songs were very good on screen; Shot well; Placed very well.

Artists Performance

When certain directors make movie, they make sure that each and every character is impactful and well-etched. Krish is one of those very few directors in Telugu cinema. Allu Arjun comes up with an awesome performance as cable Raju who pretends as a rich guy to his girlfriend. His performance in realization scenes towards climax is his best in his career. He has also entertained as a brat. Manoj Manchu comes up with another honest performance as an aspiring rock star. His performance in the hospital scenes and the scene with his mother is excellent. He performed the live action in the scene where he breaks the glass of car. Anushka titillates as the prostitute Amalapuram Saroja. She oozed sexiness and effused the vulnerability/innocence needed for the character. Nagayya is authentic for a first-timer. However, a better dubbing would have helped his character as his voice is little feminine. Manoj Bajpai comes up with power-packed performance as a righteous Muslim who is troubled by the cop. Deeksha Seth is sexy with nice smile and dimples. She has done well. The voice dubbed to her is excellent and that voice suited the Telugu we hear from the upmarket Hyderabad girls. Lekha Washingon is good as a companion of Manoj Manchu. Satyam Rajesh is excellent as side kick of hero. The person who has done the hijra role is the personal makeup man of Anushka and that person did an excellent job. Ravi Prakash comes up with his finest performance as a cop who hates Muslims. Brahmanandam is entertaining in a small role. Raghu Babu, Pruthvi and Posani Krishna Murali are entertaining in their brief roles. Giri is good in the noticeable character of a pimp. Director Krish who appeared in Che Guevara get-up as a naxalite in Gamyam appears again in Vedam as an entertaining Baba.

Technical departments
Story - screenplay - direction: It is a multiple story film where all the stories converge into the climax of the movie. It is extremely difficult task to narrate five different stories in one film in a gripping style. Krish who is just one film old comes up with terrific work in his second movie. He connected all the stories with brilliant screenplay. Each and every character in this movie has human element in it. Screenplay of the movie is authentic though similar pattern is being followed since Ameros Perros (2000) and was popularized by the Oscar winning Crash (2004) movie. Krish has shown how he sticks to the core human elements without losing the undercurrent commercial elements with his debut film Gamyam. He maintains the same philosophy in this multi-storied film as well. First half of the movie looks little disjointed because, the director has to establish and narrate five different stories. He connects all the stories well and gave a gripping narration in the second half. He would have started the movie with the accident episode (pre-climax scene). If he had started the movie with that (like he did for Gamyam movie), then the audiences would have got connected to the first half more intently. He probably avoided it because there will be a direct comparison with Crash movie. The transformation of characters from having selfish goal to do selfless service might appear similar to crash where all positive characters turn negative and vice versa. The climax scene reminds us of 26/11 Mumbai episode.

Other departments: music by Keeravani is good. Songs are nicely integrated into story line except for Allu Arjun’s party song. Background music is very good and very apt for the movie. Dialogues by Krish are an asset for the movie. He penned entertaining dialogues and humanity-oriented ones extremely well. Cinematography of the film is of top-notch quality. Action sequences by Ram – Lakshman are well-choreographed. Editing by Sravan is excellent. Art direction by Rajeev Nair is nice. Producers Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni should be appreciated for producing sensible/coming-of-age film like Vedam (more so because they come from the family of K Raghavendra Rao who is known for commercial cinema).

Analysis: First half of the movie gets interesting towards the interval. Second half is good. It is a big experiment to do such a sensible movie with commercial actors like Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu and Anushka. Three of these actors should be complimented for coming forward to act in this movie. Such big names help in taking this movie into masses. Vedam also shows the finest taste of producers. The success of Vedam will propel sensible producers to encourage new subjects and different screenplays in Telugu film industry. Krish proves himself with Vedam that he is a director who can take Telugu sensible films beyond regional borders. This film will be liked by classes and A center audiences. If masses and B/C centers patronages Vedam, it will not only do good to the film, but to the entire Telugu film industry. On a whole, Vedam is a good film. Please watch it and encourage good/meaningful cinema.
 

FINALLY 1ST WAS AVERAGE AND 2ND HALF DRAGGED MORE AND FELT BORED AND FINALLY AN ANTI CLIMAX. THE FILM ONLY FOR CLASS AUDIENCE AS THERE ARE NO MASS ELEMENTS IN IT BUT FAMILY AUDIENCE MIGHTN'T COME DUE TO SAROJA(ANUSKA CHARACTER) . FINALLY IT MIGHT BE A CRITIC'S MOVIE NOT FOR AUDIENCE TO WATCH THE MOVIE.

RATING : 3.5/5

Rating : 2/5

Movie Review :  

The film has Gopichand as Gangaram an orphan who joins as a child worker in a small restaurant, working in the mornings and studying late nights to become a police officer, his only dream, goal. He does and proves soon that the police is not meant to merely file FIRs in the police stations but have a larger role to play. The immediate task is to wipe out the offices run by two mafia dons Khalid and Talwa who have been operating for the past 15 years from Malaysia and India respectively. Though they are primarily extortionists they are into dark trade that is yet to be unraveled.

Gangaram makes his qualities visible that the first and foremost way to kill an opponent is to threaten and weaken them morally, hit them on the mind. Puri Jagan who's been on a lean patch strikes back with a cop story that has vague similarities with Pokiri. While the thrill element comes after interval in Pokiri, Puri here establishes the identity of the protagonist in the beginning itself and weaves the narrative interestingly without bringing in monotony.

In the latter part of the film, the story threatens to run on predictable lines but falls in place quickly with some more twists and turns coming up at the right time. Nasser who plays the hero's father in Pokiri throws up a surprise here. He lends an element of believability to both the roles with equal ease. Roja might have been unlucky in politics but her stint has definitely helped in portraying confidence, as a woman in command on screen in her second innings. She's given a stupendous performance in an emotionally charged role in the latter half of the story.

Priyamani gels well with her and the mother daughter duo prove to be an asset to the film. Thankfully the make up isn't bad and Priyamani trots in skimpily clad costumes on the beaches as well as acting as a bubbly woman with panache. Not revealing Ali most of the time has indeed helped.

It's not about Gangaram saying "Dhamki dhena padtha hai" always, when he is done with eliminating one local villain, he moves abroad to finish off the drama. But before there are interesting changes in his life. Had it been only wiping off the criminals, the film would have been incomplete, so the director adds another angle to him. The hero turns into a gangster, extortionist and appears like Suri to give an exclusive to the media which precipitates the movement of the story.

The love angle is not awkward, songs and dances are in total sync, the songs rock and Priyamani is all gay abandon..freaking out on her jigs and work the spirit spills onto the screen. All the songs might sound mediocre while listening, but onscreen they are very good. The cop who doesn't believe in payments only settlements, stays away from women fyi falls for the girl and all's well that ends well. The humour is subtle nothing over the top whether it's Roja pulling her daughter away from the cop's arms and telling her to weep over her shoulders or Gangaram giving gyan to the shot don, "Padhi mandhini mosam cheste nuvvu baagupadthaav kaani ninnu nuvvu mosam chesukunte sankanaakipothaav."

A theenmaar to Golimar..Gopichand stands tall here not because of his height but for giving a thoroughly entertaining performance.

Golimar gives a reason for the police department to take pride in their job and for others an opportunity to salute them. Puri Jagannath's latest film that has Gopichand playing the hero is supposed to be inspired by the achievements of Encounter Specialist Dayanayak.

'Singam 2010' Tamil Movie Review *First on Net*

Singam 2010,Singam Tamil Movie,Singam Review,Singam Songs,Surya Singam 2010,Singam tamil 2010

Banner: Sun Pictures, Studio Green, Big Pictures

Production: K.E. Gnyanavel Rajan, Kalanidhi Maaran

Direction: Hari

Casts: Surya, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Nasser, Manorama, Vijayakumar and others

Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Verdict: Excellent piece of work

Rating: 3.5/5 

 

Movie Review : 

Set in the backdrop of Nellore, a small town, the film revolves around inspector Durai Singam (Surya), who joined the service incisively because of his father’s wish. He settles every dispute in town patiently with his gentle talks. Then comes Kavya (Anushka), a city girl on vacation who promptly falls in love with him. Everything seems to be marked by good fortune until Mayil Vaaganam (Prakash Raj) comes across Durai Singam. As they lock horns, things take a different turn with second half keeping everyone on the edge-of-seats.

Kudos to director Hari for churning out such a successful commercial entertainer, he has overshadowed all his previous records with this film. Doubtlessly, Singam can be adjudged as a better show than his yesteryear film Saamy for its interesting plot prevailing all throughout the show. Although, it nearly takes an hour to establish the characters and the conflicts, the voltage peak after intermission trivializes such minuses.

On performance levels, Surya is outstanding with his flawless performance. Even during scenes, where he hops up and down doing goofy stunts, things turn out to be incredulously good. That’s all because of his charismatic appeal. His proficiency to emote with the right feel gains him more acceptance as a mass hero.

Well for Anushka, it’s the best film as she gets more footage. Thanks to Hari, for utilizing her potential to a greater magnitude unlike other filmmakers, who just sign her for glamorous attributes. Vivek’s comedy tracks are really enjoyable but can be better if he avoids his double-entendres. It’s obvious that he has been coming up with similar shows from his previous films. Radha Ravi, Nasser and Manorama have played their roles well. Prakash Raj is simply outstanding as he gets a powerful role to perform after his magnum opus Ghilli. For sure, this will be one of the greatest milestones in his career.

Just watch out for his performance during the penultimate sequences and while playing the fool with Surya on the chase, he is just superb. Devi Sri Prasad strikes with pleasing melodies as almost all the songs have been tuned out well. Especially, the numbers ‘Kadhal Vandhale’ and ‘En Idhayam’ wins hands down.

Cinematography and editing have been put to use with the best results as these technical arenas add momentum to the screenplay. Hari deserves a special mention for establishing brilliant characters as even the minor roles have their importance. Hats off to production designers as they have perfectly managed to complete such a brilliant film within such a short span of time, Avoidance of unnecessary expenses makes the film look sleek which is commendable.

Singam is sure to be one of the best top-drawers of 2010 and the producers will surely be elated as it brings them profits to unexpected levels.Surya’s Singam stands out as a mind-boggling entertainer. Aye! The duo Surya-Hari makes it on for a successful hat trick with Singam as the film proves to be an excellent showpiece.

Raavan 2010 Hindi Movie Trailer,Wall Papers

Raavan 2010

 

Raavan (Hindi: रावण) is a forthcoming Hindi film written and directed by Mani Ratnam. It stars Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Vikram in the lead roles while Govinda, Ravi Kishan, Nikhil Dwivedi, Tejaswini Kolhapure and Priyamani play key supporting roles. It is simultaneously being made in Tamil as Raavanan with a slightly different cast, which would also be dubbed into Telugu and other regional languages. The film score and soundtrack is composed by Academy Award winner A. R. Rahman. The film is expected to be released on June 18, 2010.

^Synopsis 
Mani Ratnam has reportedly shot a film that is a modern day version and a loose adaptation of the great Indian epic Ramayana in which the wife of lord Rama, Sita was abducted by the demon (Rākshasa) king of Lanka, Ravana. It is said that Raavan will have a new twist on the Ramayana.also the movie does not exactly follow the plot of ramayana.

According to the official website, Raavan is not a story but a world. Dev (Vikram), a policeman, falls in love with Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), a classical dancer. They are both unconventional. They get married and he takes her to his new post in Lal Maati, a small town in northern India. Lal Maati is a town where the word of law is not the police but Beera (Abhishek Bachchan), a tribal who has, over the years shifted the power from the ruling to the have-nots of the area. Dev knows that the key to bringing order to any place is to vanquish the big fish, in this case - Beera.

In one stroke Dev manages to rip open Beera's world, and set in motion a chain of events which will claim lives, change fortunes. Beera, injured but enraged hits back starting a battle that draws Dev, Beera and Ragini into the jungle. The jungle which is dense, confusing and scary. And in this journey they must confront their own truth. A journey which will test their beliefs, convictions and emotions. Emotions which are as scary and confusing as the forest.

The forest becomes the setting for the battle. The battle between the good and the evil, between Dev and Beera, between Ram and Raavan. When the lines dividing the good and the evil starts to blurr, whose side will you take? When hate turns to love and good starts looking as evil which side will you battle for. Love is a battle that nobody wins but everyone must fight for. Even this Raavan.

Type: Straight
Banner: United Pictures
Cast: Bala Krishna, Nayana Tara, Sneha Ullal, Namitha, KR Vijaya, Saikumar (Malayalam), Hemanth, Shravan, GV, Kinnera, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Brahmanandam, Rehman, Ali, Krishna Bhagawan, Venu Madhav, LB SriramMusic: Chakri

Story - screenplay - dialogues - direction: Boyapati Seenu
Producer: Paruchuri Kiriti
Release date: 30 April 2010

Sri Mannarayana Balayya is a lecturer in a college in Hyderabad but he doesn’t tolerate any injustice and bashes up the wronged guys. Boyapati Sreenu triumphs once again. He gives starving fans a reasonably good movie ‘Simha’ starring Balakrishna in dual role. A voluptuous female colleague (Namita) loves him. So is Janaki (Sneha Ullal) who is saved by Sri Mannarayana from goons. When a rowdy (Aditya Menon) from Vizag comes to take away Janaki from Sri Mannarayana, a flash back is revealed. 30 years ago, in Bobbili, a family of landlords treats the local people as slaves and kills if anyone revolts against. Now enters, a foreign returned doctor Narasinha (Balakrishna) belonging to Bobbili royal dynasty to save the people. Within no time, he takes up law onto his hands and becomes savior. But he and his wife (Nayanatara) are killed in a fight in the end. It is Sri Mannarayana’s job to finish the mission. Simha movie generated tremendous pre-release positive buzz and it resulted in humongous openings.
The screenplay is taut but the film is not without flaws. The film moves slowly initially and again the latter half, during the homam scenes stretches quite a bit. The romance between the ladiesNamitha , Sneha Ullal, Nayanatara hasn’t been handled well and Balakrishna’s awkwardness was visible. Despite some tasteless comedy the film blends action and drama well and the best part of the film is that there is nothing loud from either the villain or he hero which is quite unexpected.
Namitha is obscenely obese and you could see layers of fat jutting out from every part of her body, her clothes made her look worse. It’s baffling to see fifty plus heroes romancing girls half their age but if this is want people want to see then no complaints. About Balakrishna, he performs admirably, does a competent job, he stands out in the dying scene with Nayanatara.
The lady who played Balakrishna’s grandma looks out of place, a clear misfit. A local talent could have worked better.

Performances
Balakrishna looks good in the role of doctor. Unlike his regular movies, he is restrained and yet very ferocious when required. He has also tried to come up with some steps in songs. Nayanatara as a jamindari wife looks royal and beautiful. Her role is minuscule but makes impact. Namita in her oversized figure is not that appealing. Sneha Ullal looks like a kid in front of Balakrishna. K R Vijaya as grandmother is okay. Aditya Menon and Malayalam Sukumar as antagonists are perfect.

Kota Srinivas Rao once again shows how good actor that he is. Comedians like Venumadhav, Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu and Krishna Baghavan try hard to make us laugh but fail miserably.Camera work (Wilson and Prasad) is first rate. Music by Chakri is also good. Editing is nice. Director Boyapati has tried to play safe with the same time tested mass elements that are seen in films like Narasinha Naidu, Samara Simha Reddy and Magadheera.
 Plus Simha

1. Ballaya’s Tremoundous Action
2. Powerful Punch Dialogues
3. Songs and dance
4. Direction
5. Screenplay
6. Sneha ullal was good and gorgeous
7. Namitha and Nayantara Added Colours to the movie

Minus Simha

1. Not Many Negative Points to share but only some to put Main Villaian Role is just a dummy
2. Climax was Not That energetic but ok
3. A Little Bit Less Dialogues But The one which have are really Very Powerfully Delivered

Simha is not an enriching, soul stirring, emotionally resonant film but it is definitely a good offering, a jumbo mix of action and little drama for holiday movie going crowd.
Total movie for Balayya : 100% sure that ‘Simha’ is a new life for Balakrishna. One can wonder why this Nandamuri Lion has taken a long time in delivering this kind of powerful movie after ‘Narasimha Naidu’. Hardwork put in by Balakrishna was visible on the screen. First half of the movie is a mix of action and comedy with a powerful interval bang while second half gives the life with graceful Narasimha character leading to a regular climax.

Simha is not an enriching, soul stirring, emotionally resonant film but it is definitely a good offering, a jumbo mix of action and little drama for holiday movie going crowd this summer. after long long back balayya will happy and Fans Full  Enjoy....... Nandamuri Fans................and Audience ...
