Sadha’s new avatar in ‘Aa Aaa Ee Eee

Friday, March 20, 2009 0 Responses

Slim and svelte actress Sadha will be taking a dip into a new milieu for the first time in her upcoming film.

She plays the supporting heroine in ‘Aa Aaa Ee Eee’ starring Srikanth and Meera Jasmine, directed by Srinivas Reddy. Boddam Ashok Yadava produces the film.

After donning glamorous roles, Sadaf has opted for a change to try her luck in comedy. She’s all preening about the completely out-of-the-box role that is of a wacky pantomime of a girl who’s in a puzzled mindset. For people who have been used to see her as the shy and romantic heroine, this will be something to watch out for.

Swetha Basu Prasad is thrice happy

Friday, March 20, 2009 0 Responses

The sweet and sexy damsel of ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’, Swetha Basu Prasad is a constant chatter box and debates with ease. In a sheer miss, it seems she became an actress instead of an advocate.

She is so jubilant and lit up all the time as her hands are full with three films in production this season.

She stars one of the heroines in the multi-star ‘Raid’, churned by Ramesh Varma and produced by Bellamkonda Suresh. She shares screen space with Nani, Tanish and Aksha in the lead cast.

Director G. Nageswara Reddy has roped in Swetha to play the lead opposite Vaibhav in his film produced by popular director A. Kodandarami Reddy on K Films banner. Another new film by Ratna Celluloids banner went to the floors under the direction of Balaji N Sai has her as the female lead.

All said, now for everyone who thinks heroines ardently stick to their diet chart and never gorge, think again. For, Swetha Prasad is a complete foodie. The Bengali girl’s all-time favorite is rice and fish. She also doesn’t mind relishing street savories like Rajma Chawal, Butter Chicken, Chinese Cuisine, Vada Pav, Pav Baji, Sev Puri and Pani Puri.

Daughter of a Hindi father and a Bengali mother, Swetha nods sideways for dieting. When you wonder how she’s all fit after going through the mega list of food items, she just eats as per wish and later works out to compensate

Sonia on the way to hat-trick

Friday, March 20, 2009 0 Responses

The curly haired dusky lass Sonia shot to fame as Shrav’s in ‘Happy Days’. After the debut film, ‘Vinayakudu’, the runaway hit that featured her in the lead cast moved her to near stardom.

With two consecutives in her bag, it’s no wonder when offers queued up for the actress. With a distinct approach to script selection, Sonia didn’t sign up every other one but only selected the best.

She has checked in for a new film set to begin under the direction of Jonnalagadda Srinivasa Rao.

If she succeeds again, it will be a hat-trick for the newcomer who’s making it big already in tinsel town. We can rub off any more doubts and be sure she will be the future star in Tollywood.

Shriya wishes to be back

Sunday, March 01, 2009 0 Responses

Svelte actress Shriya Saran started off her career in Bollywood but came to limelight in the Telugu film industry. Ramoji Rao’s production ‘Ishtam’ on Usha Kiran Movies was Shriya’s maiden venture in Tollywood and she became one of the popular heroines sharing screen space with megastars of the industry.

Her career graph sore to unimaginable heights, thanks to Rajinikanth’s ‘Shivaji’, she became a well known actress all over the country. As good luck would have it, she re-entered Bollywood and also did roles in Hollywood movies. In 2008, Shriya didn’t had a release in the South and this year ‘Mallanna’ starring Vikram will be her comeback wagon into Telugu and Tamil, the same time.

Shriya’s attention is now back to where she started (Telugu cinema) and wishes to get character roles in good scripts so that she could regain her fame. Let’s hope the damsel’s wish come true.

Sathyameva Jayathemovie review

Saturday, February 21, 2009 0 Responses
Sathyameva Jayathe
Banner:Sivani Sivathmika Movies
Cast:Rajasekhar, Sanjana and others
Direction:Jeevitha Rajasekhar
Production:Sivani Sivathmika
Music:S Chinna

olice stories have been fascinating Telugu audience since a long time. For Dr. Rajasekhar, ‘Ankusham’ was a milestone in his career which paved for many more films with a similar theme in the industry. In the line of films like 'Evadaithe Nakenti', 'Gorintaku', ‘Sathyameva Jayathe’ is the latest addition in Rajasekhar’s police films list.

Directed by Jeevitha Rajasekhar and produced on Sivani Sivathmika Movies banner, 'Sathyameva Jayathe' is all about the power and selfless thinking of a sincere police officer who wipes out the lawlessness in civil establishment. Here goes a concise review on the pros and cons of the film.

Story

An orphan boy from a compassionate orphanage grows with good deeds into a respectable and sincere police officer Satya DCP (Rajasekhar). Known for his merciless encounters in the department, he stands as proof for wiping out criminals and establishing peace in the society. Happily married to his love Sanjana, Satya continues his duty until he concurs against the assassination aimed at Chief Minister (M. Satyanarayana Rao) by a group of militants led by Ran Dev (Milind Soman).

He rescues the Chief Minister and sends Ran behind bars. In turn, Ran’s men murder Satya’s pregnant wife and his relatives. The enraged terrorists also execute a blast in the premises as a vengeance act to hide their bad ordeals. Terming Dr. Irfan Ansari (Athul Kulkarni) as the man behind the attack, he gets shifted to Vizag Jail. CM calls for Satya and entrusts him with the job to bring in Irfan from Vizag and produce him in the court.

Accompanied by Prathap (Shivaji), Pandu (Sai Kiran), Basara Papa (Neethu Chandra), Satthi (Sivareddy), Satya begins his mission to nab the real culprits. While bringing in the framed criminal Dr. Irfan, police commissioner (Ahuti Prasad) in association with Home Minister (Shayaji Shinder), the think tank people behind the terrorist Ran make plans to execute Satya and Irfran at one go.

How Satya breaks the plans and remove the masked illegal people behind the plot forms the crux.

Performance of Cast

Rajasekhar's performance eventhough clichéd it good as it was in his earlier super hits 'Ankusham', 'Agraham' and 'Magadu'. As his role in family dramas and romantic plots didn’t work out, he has reverted back to what he does best. He fits perfectly into the role of an honest police officer fighting for justice. However, if some changes were made in the story and characterization it would have been a better watch.

Neethu Chandra who performed neatly in 'Godavari' as a native Telugu girl, is limited here as a glamour girl just as a glam prop. Even the dialogues designed for her character are not up to the mark with an average scope.

This is the second film for Sanjana after 'Bujjigadu'. She appears for a very short time on screen and doesn’t have enough space to perform.

Sheril Pinto who had come from Tamil to Telugu industry is in a similar position although she goes a step ahead of Neethu Chandra in her riveting costumes. Both Neethu and Sheril are in tough contention to put up a skin show but not for acting at any cost.

The real life congress leader M.Satyanarayana Rao performed naturally well as the Chief Minister. SivaReddy's dubbing did not synchronize at certain instances. Milind Soman as RanDev, Athul kulkarni as Ansari, Sayaji Shinde as Home Minister AnandaRao, Brahmanandam as Thyagaraju and Ali's performance are plus points for the film.

Shivaji, Saikiran, SivaReddy, Ahuthi Prasad have done their portions well with in the scope of their roles.

Work of the Crew

The re-recording and music composed by Chinna is neither outstanding nor bad. Songs are placed at wrong instances with some average tunes. Mani Vasagan's cinematography lacks quality and presentation. Rajasekhar has done a good screenplay which carries the script forward. Nandamuri Hari's editing is neat and doesn’t lag much. Writer Mohan has rendered most of the dialogues which conveys double meanings and makes us feel uneasy. Horseman Babu's work is one of the important additions, who have lent his part by blasting some of the cars and choreographing some good fight scenes.

Director’s Portrayal

Jeevitha Rajasekhar cannot bargain complete credit for making ‘Satyameva Jayathe’ as it is bits and pieces of her but the story was borrowed from the Bollywood ‘Khakee’ starring Amitabh Bachchan. She did a good work in her directorial venture ‘Seshu’, a remake of Bala’s ‘Sethu’ with Vikram. This time around she has altered the scenes and script a bit to suit Telugu nativity. Rajasekhar in his screenplay and Jeevitha in direction have targeted the movie towards the mass crowd without divulging to satisfy the family audience. On the whole, her work is fine and directorial part of the film is good if not excellent.

Criticism

‘Satyameva Jayathe’ is a comeback for Rajasekhar’s clichéd style of efficient and honest policemen. Family drama is not his piece of cake, so as a safe bet he came back to his role of an angry young man. But, still he didn’t have a complete makeover. At certain instance, he tried to pull in romantic and sentimental emotions which pass off meagerly. Film goers with an expectation of Rajasekhar’s old angry man style will feel rejected; so will be the family crowd too. In an attempt to appease both the mass and class crowd, Jeevitha made ‘Satyameva Jayathe’ as a mass commercial action entertainer which might turn as an average grosser at the box office.

Verdict: A balancing act to appease everyone which succeeds partially

Released on: 13th February

Siddham Movie Review

Saturday, February 14, 2009 0 Responses
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zHh2s8KidXI/SZT--FThvdI/AAAAAAAACew/RPibY2ep3A4/s400/Siddham+Movie+Review.jpg
Movie: Siddham
My Rating: 3/5
Banner: Shreya Productions
Music: Amar Mohale
Cinematography: Bharani K Dharan
Screenplay, Stunts $ Direction: JD Chakri
Editing: Bhanodaya
Producer: Kiran Kumar Koneru
Cast: Jagapati Babu, Sindhu Menon, Kota Prasad, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Subbaraju, Narsing Yadav, Siva Prasad etc
Release Date: 12th Feb 2009

Review

Story


Daya (Jagapati Babu) is a sincere cop and an encounter specialist. He handles his job professionally and does not hold anything personal. Salim (Kota Prasad) is his assistant who is greedy about increasing the encounters count so that he could get more publicity from the media. The city commissioner (Kota) is retired and a new commissioner takes the charge. The new commissioner has his own agenda and he discourages Daya from performing his duty in fair manner. The rest of the story is all about how Daya takes law into his hands and cleans up the mafia gang in his own indomitable style.

Artists Performance:

Jagapati Babu: Though this character is donned by Nana Patekar in Hindi, Jagapati Babu made sure that he interprets the character well enough to give it his own shape with subtle yet strong body language. You will see a new Jagapati Babu in this film and these kinds of characters give actors immense job satisfaction.

Kota Prasad (son of Kota Sreenivasa Rao) did a fine role in this film and he has it in him to become a fine actor if he chooses the roles well. His work in this film is very good. Sindhu Menon is adequate as the housewife. Kota Srinivasa Rao is perfect as a retired commissioner who supports hero. It is a different role for Narsing Yadav. The guy who did the role of Akhil is competent. Subbaraju did a small yet significant role. Mukul Dev did the role of Dubai based mafia don.

Technical Departments:

This film is a remake of Hindi film 'Ab Tak Chappan'. Hence the story and screenplay is adapted from the original. Most of shot compositions are also similar. But it is very difficult to create a soul in such a serious film without any commercial padding. As a director JD Chakri succeeded in narrating the film in an interesting way. He created a constant tone to the film and did not miss it throughout the film. Though he handled the film efficiently, we could see the tempo of the film going down for 15 minutes before the climax and 15 minutes before the interval. He did not show the scene of hero being captured by cops in a proper way towards climax.

Background music is nice and it is mostly taken from the tracks of Ab Tak Chappan background music. Cinematography by Bharani K Dharan is good. However, the director has used some footage from Ab Tak Chappan film for Mumbai dock episode. Dialogues of the film are realistic. But you need to carefully follow the dialogues because the there is no cinematic dramatization in the modulation and delivery of dialogues. Like in Hindi mafia flicks, this film too has many curse words. Editing is adequate. Producer Kiran should be appreciated for making such a serious film sans any commercial elements.

Final Analysis:

Siddham is a remake of Hindi film Ab Tak Chappan. The commercial elements in this film are subtle. It is like the story of Ankusam film told in a much realistic way. If Ankusam film had intense histrionics and compelling cinematic drama, Siddham film has subtlety and finesse to it. These kinds of films were never made in Telugu. Hence the common movie lovers of AP are not used to such kind of films. It is a decent effort by JD Chakravarthy and Jagapati Babu to make a film like Siddham. We have to wait and see how the regular movie lovers take this film.


What do u feel About this film is it good or bad write in the comment...
I feel the story is superb what do u feeeeeeeel.......

Shriya’s costly affair

Wednesday, February 04, 2009 0 Responses

The leading damsel in South Indian cinema Shriya Saran plays the female lead in the extravagantly made ‘Mallanna’ starring Vikram. Directed by Susi Ganesan, Kalapuli S. Dhanu is producing the film on a high budget.

Based on a fantasy plot, Vikram plays the Indian superhero and Shriya’s role is yet to be out. After spending about two years in the making, the crew is now busy filming the songs in exquisite foreign locations. For rendering the songs a grandiose effect, the makers are thriving for every aspect including the main lead’s costumes.

The costume designers after lengthy discussions decided upon a costume worth 30 lakhs and jewelry worth 6 crores for Shriya which they felt will be apt (!) to bring in the desired effect. With the producers consent, the costumes were made ready and the jewel set was rented for an amount of 5 lakhs on a daily basis. The song was canned in Italy and the estimated budget for the single song itself is one and a half crores, says Reuters.

If one song costs this much, one can imagine what the total budget might be…

Surya s/o krishnan

Friday, January 30, 2009 0 Responses


Cast: Surya Siva Kumar, Simran, Divya Spandana, Sameera Reddy and others

Music: Harris Jayaraj

Direction: Gautham Vasudev Menon

Producer: Aascar Films

Surya S/O Krishnan is an emblematic Gautham Menon film which appears to be pretty close to his factual life along with a message at the conclusion. The movie has a two hour 48 minutes extensive heavy sentiment drama and has all the ingredients of anecdote, love, comedy and at last promotes non- smoking deeply, as it gives a hard slap to all the smokers who can face the cruel outcome of dreaded disease Cancer. Surya is outstanding and Simran pilfers the show with her outstanding acting skills.

Story

Surya (Junior Surya), son of Krishnan is a sensitively bonded guy with his parents as well as his sister. He grows up seeing his parent’s enormous love en route for each other and the fervor towards their son and daughter. The dissimilar phases of life, are well portrayed in this film as the child, teenage life, adulthood in a man’s world are well exemplified. Surya is intimately close to his father and Simran who plays the character of mother to him, motivates him for being strappingly will- powered and also to be psychologically weak sometimes.

Krishnan (Senior Surya) is Surya’s Father who is a middle class man and ventures out to USA in order to fetch his true love Simran. They marry and are proud parents of two siblings. Surya and his sister as told earlier get the inspiration and lesson from their parents that nothing is impossible in this world if your allegiance and the sacredness in heart are well pure.
With these values, Junior Surya gets into his adult hood with a brief love phase in his life. He falls in love with Meghna (Sameera reddy) but the love ends as soon as it is started as Meghna decides to part her ways in order to pursue her professional dreams. She prefers to chase her dreams rather than accompanying Surya. Moved by this Surya regrets to be in love with Meghna and desires for a beloved who is in lines of his mother Malini (Simran).

Surya fetches a defense cop profession and is posted somewhere in Jammu and Kashmir. After a few reels of regular kidnapping and goon bashing drama, Surya’s heroic skills are well expressed. Unluckily, he is informed about his father Krishnan’s illness of cancer and leaves the base camp, to be with his family.

He immediately packs and moves to his family and realizes that his father Krishnan is ill and his mother Malini is shaken by this incident. But again, Krishnan inspires his son by his strong will power and determination to invade out through his illness.

Then Surya’s wife Priya (Divya Spandana) enters his life and they marry happily. But Krishnan’s illness deepens day by day and this makes him close to his grave. In a scene which is heart touching, where he tries hard to express something to his grandson, but fails to do as his Vocal Cords fail indicating the last stages of life.

The complete movie is crammed with emotion and love towards a family. Furthermore the movie is loaded with a poignant drama in all scenes.

Lastly, the movie tops with an acceptable climax plus this is a anticipation which must be seen on the big screen.

Performances

Surya Siva Kumar plays the dual role of Krishnan and Surya in this film. The actor doesn’t need a certificate for his acting as he has immense talent. The senior Surya looks more promising with his make up and depicts a perfect middle aged person with lots of experience to reveal. Junior Surya plays the role of an obedient son to his father and is tinged with some love, romance and mother sentiment from the female characters.

Simran plays the character of Malini who is a Pativratha to Krishnan. She plays the role with ease and takes on the limelight of this film.

Priya is the character played by Divya Spandana. The character demands some love, attitude and also sometimes emotions and Divya Justifies her character as a wife to Surya.

Sameera Reddy enters the life of the hero like a breeze and plays the character of Meghna. She moves around the trees with the hero and finally departs.
On the total, the movie is exceedingly sloppy drama which has zero for the mass crowds. The movie will without doubt hit the 50 day mark, due to its touching story. But fall apart after the 50 day mark

Shh Movie Review

[Shh+Movie+Review.jpg]
Movie: Shh...
My Rating: 2.75/5
Banner: Apoorva Chitra
Art: Madhu Rebba
Music: Sri Vasanth
Cinematography: Murali Mohan Reddy
screenplay & Direction: Hari Charan Prasad
Editing: Ravindra Babu
Producer: Hari Charan Prasad & Sukanya
Cast: Shafi, Mithuna, Madhavi Latha, Siva Krishna, Roopa Devi & Rallapalli etc
Release Date: 23rd Jan 2009
Review

Story

A doctor (Shafi) comes to a village along with his family to serve the villagers as a part of his social service activity. When he visits a temple, the priest over there makes him to see things that are not visible for a naked eye. He also gets premonitions that enable him to see the glimpses of future. A ghost contacts him. The rest of the story is all about how the doctor unearths a murder mystery.

Artists Performance:
Shafi is good as the doctor who goes through psychological transformation. Though his Telugu is good, he need to get his pronunciation right with perfect diction. He has a strange style of delivering dialogues. Mithuna is adequate as an understanding wife of Shafi. Madhavi Latha doesn’t have much role to play in the film though her character is pivotal for the film. Rupa Devi who did the role of an occult practicing woman is highly convincing. Siva Krishna and Rallapalli are adequate.

Technical Departments:
Story of the film is good. The story is based on an English novel called ‘Stir of Echoes’ (1958) written by Richard Matheson. This novel was made as Hollywood film with the same title in 1999. Richard Matheson is a celebrated writer who wrote novels which were later adapted into popular films like I am legend, The legend of a hell house etc.
irection is adequate in parts. Narration of the film is slow. Screenplay of the film should have been written in an interesting way. The flashback episode which shows the murder of the girl is not effectively shot. If we carefully look at the threads in the film, all of them possess ingredients of an interesting thriller. But the director could not use all these threads to give a proper ending in the climax. These interesting threads are –

1. Baby girl speaking with the spirit.
2. Hero communicating with spirit.
3. Premonitions and the ability of the hero to foresee the future events.
4. Occult practicing woman following the hero and inviting him to come to her at the time of difficulty.

Our horror/thriller film directors use dimly lit place and darkness to create chilling effects. But the director Hari Charan stayed away from using such tricks and he stuck with the content. Another interesting thing I observed in this film is overt affection between the couple in the film. Husband and wife hold their hands and affectionately touching when they go out. We don’t see such practice in our Telugu commercial films.

Other departments:
Songs scored by Sri Vasanth are good. But songs are not required in this film, especially the hero’s love and wedding song (no relevance to the story). Rerecording and sound mixing is very good. But at times, sound was used excessively. Cinematography is adequate. Editing should have been better. Dialogues are ok.

Final Analysis:
The story idea is good. But the director didn’t adapt it onto the screen properly. A better screenplay and an interesting narration would have helped the movie to reach the crowds effectively. This kind of story has commercial appeal to it, but the director treated it more like an art film.

Sasirekha Parinayam Movie Review

Friday, January 30, 2009 0 Responses


Cast: Tarun, Genelia, Ahuthi Prasad, Raghu Babu, MS Narayana, Paruchuri Gopal Krishna and others.

Music: Mani Sharma

Director: Krishna Vamsi

Krishna Vamsi’s much awaited Sasirekha Parinayam has hit the silver screen today after a much hype and fan following. This movie was stated to hit the silver screens yesterday, but due to some technical nags the movie released on a big note today. The movie follows the mood of Krishna Vamsi’s earlier film Chandamama and is also in lines of the Hindi flick Jab We Met which was a blockbuster of 2007. But still lacks the thrill and vigor to make it big finally.

Story

Sasirekha alias Bujji (Genelia) is a well pampered and darling daughter of Ahuthi Prasad who hails from Amalapuram as a very rich Zamindar. Ahuthi fixes his daughters marriage with son of Paruchuri Gopal Krishna who has an NRI son who earns well. Gopal Krishna’s sons name is Abhimanyu (tarun) who is sweetly and shortly called as Abhi. Gopal Krishna is a very famous and wells settled lawyer in a town in Vijayawada.

Bujji (Genelia) who is studying in Kakinada is a BSC computer science student and when she is busy with her college life, her father soon intimates her that she needs to see him urgently in Amalapuram. Sasi runs to her village only to discover that her marriage is fixed the same night. Sasi is ordered by her father and is also offered a Video clipping which is that off the bridegroom Abhi. But she refuses to see it and says that she is not interested in marrying him.

As the bridegrooms side come for the marriage, Sasi’s Mother hurriedly makes her ready in order to stay away from Ahuthi Prasad’s anger. Meanwhile, after the marriage party comes to a halt in Amalapuram, Gopal Krishna demands from Ahuthi Prasad a whooping amount as dowry and this makes the bride fumed up. Sasi draped in the attire and jewelry of a bride runs from her house in order to go to Hyderabad.

The whole nuisance makes Ahuthi fumed up and he forcibly snatches the total dowry amount from Gopal Krishna who threatens to see his end when he goes to Vijayawada. As said, Gopal Krishna sends a legal notice to Ahuthi Prasad and makes him go to a jail.

Sasirekha (Genelia) and Abhimanyu (tarun) meet each other on a journey to Hyderabad and due to some circumstances are forced to spend some days. A small incident and a goons chase makes Sasi get close to Abhi. But Sasi Rekha recognizes Tarun with a name of Anand and not Abhimanyu.

Then the whole saga carries on and Abhimanyu and Sasirekha fall in love. The rest of the story is how they will shrug off the misunderstanding in between their parents and how they make them unite and this whole must be watched on screen.
