NTR Oosaravelli movie review 3.5/5

Story:
Tony (NTR) is a typical character who changes moods and colors as per the situation. He meets Niharika (Tamanna) in an awkward situation which leads to love. He falls in love with her and chases her day and night. He gets to know that she is already in love with someone, but chases her down till she falls in love with him. At this point the other side of him is revealed which gives us the answers for the unanswered. Actually he is on a mission to kill an entire mafia empire. Why does he do that? For whom does he work for? Watch the movie for answers.

Analysis:
Oosaravelli starts off on a high note with excellent intro scene of hero. The hero character is introduced in such a way that audience expects him to play mind games and wise tricks all the time. But the film turns out to be a love story after that hyped introduction. This part is dealt in an entertaining with NTR, Raghubabu, MS Narayana and Jayaprakash Reddy doing the honors of filling in fun moments. The real story will only start before interval and the interval scene has really come out well. The graph picks up suddenly and sets high expectations on the second half.

Second half will reveal about the hero’s mission and why he has been under disguise. This part mostly deals with the heroine and it may not be liked by hardcore NTR fans. He goes missing for more than ten minutes and the film considerably slows down. Movie takes a serious turn and comedy takes the backseat. Director tried to force comedy in bits and pieces in the second hour but it didn’t gel well.

Script wise, Oosaravelli is good barring few plot holes. But where it fails is with balancing NTR’s mass image with the hero’s characterization. Director had to sacrifice mind games and intelligent play for the sake of satisfying NTR fans, which didn’t help the film much. On a whole Oosaravelli can be watched once for its entertaining first half, interesting plot and performances of the lead star cast.

Commercially it may suffer because of going against NTR image. NTR city based fans and youth may be satisfied to see him in a new avatar, but his core audience from the B and C centers will have too many complaints with the film.

Performances:
It is good to see NTR switching genres. He did a completely different role in this movie which is more of a lover boy and less of an action hero. He also tried comedy and underplayed the emotions. It is refreshing to see him in this movie. He has to keep a check on the weight as he is gaining few kilos. His dances in Dandia India are good.

Tamanna got a very good role and she excelled in it. Generally heroines don’t get much scope in star heroes films. But this film is an exception and Tamanna lapped it up. She is gorgeous in few scenes.

Prakash Raj is routine. Jayaprakash and Raghubabu are funny. MS Narayana shared few laughs. Kick Shyam is brief and Rehaman is Okay. Sayaji Shinde’s role is half baked. Harika (Payal Ghosh) gives a neat performance.

Technicalities:
Koratala Siva dialogues worked in places. On a whole lacked the necessary punch. Devi Sri Prasad’s background score is fabulous. Two songs are very good. Rasool camera is one of the highlights of the movie. Action part is dealt well. There are few action scenes but are shot in an exciting fashion. Production values are rich.

Surender Reddy did well as a director to handle the script well. However, he is off balance at times as he is ‘confused’ to stick with the content or to go with NTR’s mass image. He should have opted for a small hero instead of choosing a star for this script, which would have done wonders for him.

Final Word:
        Don’t expect a brand NTR film!

KANCHANA REVIW 3/5

Movie Review : Kanchana
Rating : 3/5
Banner : Sri Sai Ganesh Productions
Cast : Larencce Ragava, Lakshmi Rai, Sarath Kumar, Kovai Sarala, Sreeman, Devadarshani, Babu Antony, Manobalaand Others
Music : S S Thaman
Cinematography : Vetri
Producer: Bellamkonda Suresh
Director: Larencce Raghava
Released Date: July 14, 2011





Story:
A horror treat, the story begins with Raghava (larencce) who is a kind hearted man with helping nature and loves cricket. However, the one thing that scares him the most is ghosts and he doesn't even sleep alone and has his mom with him. But then, that doesn't stop him from loving Priya (Lakshmi rai) a hot model. The story takes a turn when Raghava and his friends go to an unmanned ground to play cricket. Unknowingly, he awakens a spirit and gets it home. From then on things change in his home and eventually Raghava gets possessed and starts killing few people. Who is that spirit and what is its past forms the rest of the story.


Presentation:
The director has come up with a different storyline and while the presentation was nice, the narrative was better. The dialogues were regular, the script was good but had few visible flaws while the screenplay was adequate. Background score was good and songs were meant for the masses. Cinematography was apt. Editing was sharp but few scenes got jumped. Costumes were upto the mark while the art department was good in few places. Larencce has come up with a regular performance and nothing special from him. Lakshmi Rai looks sizzling hot and her voluptuous sex appeal will satisfy the eyes. The real showstealer was Sarath Kumar who came up with a stupendous performance. Kovai Sarala was irritating, Devadarshini was alright, Sreeman was funny, Babu Antony was brief, the others did their bit as required.


Conclusion:
The film happens to be a sequel to the movie Muni. As expected, there was a lot of mass masala and the taking was also meant for the commercial audience. However, this time the intensity was different and the shock points were more. While the first half keeps the mystery alive but spoils the pace with silly comedy, it is the second half which has few serious things and dramatic movements. The climax is the highlight. At the box office, this is a film which will appeal to the mass audience and given the genre it is not meant for kids.

Movie review - Nanna 3.10/5

Story

Krishna (Vikram) is a mentally-challenged adult whose wife dies while giving birth to his daughter Vennela (Baby Sarah). He works in a chocolate factory and is being helped by his colleagues and owner. When Vennela is 5 years old, she is forcibly taken by her grandfather (Sachin Khedekar). The rest of the story is all about how he wages a legal battle with him for his daughter with the help of a young lawyer (Anushka).

Artists Performance

Vikram comes up with another spellbinding performance as a mentally-challenged person. You will see only the character in this movie. He looks very cute despite playing a uncomfortable character. He is bound to win awards for his phenomenal portrayal. Baby Sarah has done a terrific work. She dominated Vikram at times. She is helped by a beautiful characterization. Anushka is pretty good in a supporting role. Amala Paul resembles Deepika Padukone in a few angles and she is perfect. Nassar and Sachin Khedekar have done justice.

Technical departments

Story - screenplay - direction: The story of this film is loosely inspired by the Hollywood flick ‘I am Sam’. It has a nice story line. Director Vijay is sensible and has a class of his own. It reflects in the way he narrated the story and in the way he seamlessly blended humor. There is a nice feel throughout the movie. Screenplay in the second half is pretty good. It is very difficult to succeed in sustaining interest when the entire second half is dominated by the court scenes. There are many scenes in this movie (especially father-daughter combination one) that are heart-touching. Director Vijay succeeds in narrating the story in interesting way without falling prey for the commercial elements.

Other departments: Music by GV Prakash Kumar complements the mood of the movie. None of the songs look forced. Cinematography by Nirav Shah is excellent. I loved the way the scooter song is canned with slow-mo camera. The story-telling song is highly creative. The sets are realistic (especially the chocolate factory and court-room interiors). Editing is fine. Dialogues are neat and heart-touching at times. Producers Malla Vijay Prasad and Santosham Suresh risked a bit and it is worth it.

Analysis: Beginning of the film is slow. First half of the film is neat though lengthy and devoid of story. Second half is pacy with good screenplay and drama. Plus points of the film are performances (Vikram and Baby Sarah), second half screenplay and classy direction. On the flip side the first half of the film needs trimming as it’s too lengthy. On a whole, Nanna is a decent film with nice sentiment. The success of the movie will depend on the mouth talk and how the family crowds in A/B centers patronize it.

Mahesh Helps to Raviteja Becoming A Big Star ?!

Chiranjeevi: 'My Aim At Chief Minister Seat'

The secret ambition of the actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi has come out in the open!  He wants to become the Chief Minister of the state.

“The people want to see me as Chief Minister,” he declared on Tuesday in comments that lay bare his intentions behind merging his 30 month old Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress. He also announced that he would quit acting and devote full time for politics.

“Though I had earlier expressed my desire to resume acting, I have now decided to quit films and concentrate full-time on politics,” Chiranjeevi said.

“Instead of playing the role of a CM in movies, I want to become CM in real life,” he said. While declaring his son Ramcharan Teja as his successor in acting, the ageing star made it clear that he would strive to be in the midst of people and solve their problems.

”I will be more comfortable as CM in real life than playing the role in a movie,” he declared while participating in a private function in Hyderabad. His sensational comments came at a time when he is tipped for a cabinet berth at the Centre in return for merging his PRP with Congress.

One gets the doubt whether the Congress central leadership has promised Chiranjeevi to project him as the Chief Ministerial candidate in the 2014 elections.

There is a perception in political circles that the Reddy community, the traditional support base of Congress, is slipping away from the ruling party and would eventually gravitate towards YSR Congress Party headed by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. The Congress is desperate to woo other sections and also add glamour quotient to it.

Balayya's Signal To Attack MS Reddy

 

Though it has been a while since the controversy about M S Reddy and his book ‘Idhi Naa Kadha’ has begun, the issue has not died down. Thanks to the presence of electronic media, this will be alive for a while and now it is heard that Nandamuri Balakrishna has given his signal to show his reaction.

Recently, there was a program in the TV9 channel about M S Reddy’s doing and his actions were severely criticised by the noted producer Katragadda Prasad. While the onslaught was severe, inside sources say this was the result of Balayya’s indication. The reason is because a lot of negativity was written on N T Rama Rao.

Few incidents were also about NTR Junior and it is heard that Balayya has not taken this sweetly. The talk in filmnagar circles is that the Katragadda Prasad attack is actually an initiation from the Nandamuri family and they add that more of such things are likely to follow

I was shocked: Ram Charan

Chiranjeevi statement to quit films forever for his goal to become CM has not only shocked Film Industry and Political Circles, but his son Ram Charan too couldn't believe it. "like many other i was shocked to hear dad decided not to act any more and dedicate his life to serving people...not able to sleep over this," tweeted Ram Charan. Allu Sirish, who wants the matinee idol to entertain fans, is also upset with Chiru's decision. "I'm surprised & sad abt Megastar's statement not to act. As a hardcore fan I wish he does few more films! Wish he reconsiders this decision," tweeted Allu Sirish. Meanwhile, Controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has reacted to Chiru's comments in his style. RGV tweeted to Ram Charan "@Alwayscharan ur dads far far superior 2 all the ppl he wants 2 serve nd why he wants 2 serve ppl who's inferior to him cmpletley beats me" "Chiranjeevi is a phenomenon nd the people of Andhra pradesh are not nd they proved that by not making him a chief minister. But I anyday want to see the people of AP queeing up for chiranjeevis tickets rather than chiranjeevi queeing up for the fuckers votes. If ppl of AP don't make chiranjeevi CM its their bad luck nd if such ppl don't vote for him its his good luck," tweeted RGV.

Nayantara's 'Reaction' For Press 'Action'

 

Actress Nayanatara has been getting severe criticism ever since she was announced to be Sita in Bapu’s Sri Rama Rajyam. While Balakrishna was playing Rama, Srikanth is playing Lakshmana in it. Many in the Press wrote that Nayantara, who is known for late night parties and changing lovers, is not fit for playing Sita.

Hence Nayantara has been under rigorous diet regulations to fit into the role. She is sticking herself to Vegetarian Diet and not at all going near the drinks as well. She is leading this life to make Press know her commitment towards the role of Goddess Sita.

In fact, she is not getting close to Prabhu Deva these days for the fear of media cameras. Nayantara seems to be sticking on to chastity till the completion of shooting!!!
