Mahesh Babu Bharat Ane Nenu Movie Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Movie Name: Bharat Ane Nenu Movie
Movie Cast: Mahesh Babu, Kiara Advani
Director: Koratala Siva
Music Director: Devi Sri Prasad
Production: D.V.V. Danayya

Mahesh Babu’s ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ has been the most trending topic in Tollywood film circles for the past few weeks. Mahesh Babu who keeps himself a mile away from politics is donning the role of Chief Minister in the movie. The movie released amid high expectations, both from the fans, and the film circles. Let us take a look how the film has fared.

Story:

Bharat Ram (Mahesh Babu) is the only son of AP CM (Sarath Kumar). While Bharat is pursuing his education at Cambridge University, his father, the AP CM dies suddenly. After Bharat returns to India and completes his father’s funeral, the party members elect him as the Chief Minister. After the swearing-in ceremony, Bharat aims to clean the polluted politics. In his journey, he comes to know that, most trusted party leaders start backstabbing him. After understanding that, it is not easy to clean the polluted politics, what path did Bharat Choose? How did he fall in love with Vasumathi (Kiara Advani)? What difficulties did Bharat face? How did he manage to the people’s hearts?

Analysis:

Mahesh Babu has delivered his career-best performance in this film. His on-screen performance as the CM is the highlight of the movie. Mahesh’s performance as a young lad who suddenly becomes a state’s CM stand is absolutely brilliant. The scenes prior to the interval elevate Mahesh Babu in the film to an all new level.

His body language, styling, and what not… it feels as if everything has fallen in its place. Though this is a debut movie for Kiara Advani in Telugu, she has done her part with ease and is a delight to watch on the screen alongside Mahesh Babu.

Brahmaji as Personal Secretary to Mahesh Babu in the film made sure the audience is thoroughly entertained. Prakash Raj as Mahesh’s God Father is an absolute treat to watch. Rao Ramesh, Ramaprabha, Amani, Posani Murali Krishna, Ravi Shankar, Ajay, and the rest of the cast have done a good job.

Plus Points:

  • Mahesh Babu’s Performance, and his characterization
  • Writing and Direction
  • Pre-Interval episode
  • Action Episodes, and Music
  • Press Conference scene in 2nd Half

Drawbacks:

  • Lag in the climax
  • Run Time

Telugu Bullet Punchline: Mahesh Babu as CM delivers Blockbuster as promised

Needi Naadi Oke Katha Movie Review

Needi Naadi Oke Katha Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Movie Name: Needi Naadi Oke Katha
Movie Cast: Sree Vishnu, Satna Titus
Director: Udugula Venu
Music Director: Suresh Bobbili
Production: Krishna Vijay, Prashanti

Actor Sri Vishnu received critical acclaim for his performances in ‘Appatlo Okadundevadu’ and ‘Mental Madhilo’. Both these films helped the actor to establish in the Telugu film industry. With ‘Needi Naadi Oke Katha’, he is about to taste his fortune once again. Let us whether his latest flick propels him ahead, or drags him back.

Story:

Rudraraju Devi Prasad is a good teacher, who is well respected, and honored by everyone in the society. He becomes the father of a Sagar (Sri Vishnu), who doesn’t excel in studies. Sagar fails frequently in his exams and even attends exams along with his younger sister. Seeing his situation, Rudraraju Devi Prasad loses patience and gets frustrated.

At this juncture, Sagar meets Dhaarmika (Satna Titus). He attempts to change the way his father wants him to see and seeks the help of Dhaarmika for the same. During this time, he realizes that he is losing his happy moments, and communicates the same to his father. What happens after that? Did he transform the way his father wished? Or is he still sticking on to his same old path? By the way, what help did Dhaarmika offer? To find these answers, watch the movie on the silver screen.

Analysis:

The film is a perfect example of the lives of middle-class families. The director aptly shows the pressures faced kids, how they are forced to study for ranks and their parent’s prestige in the society. At the same time, it also focuses on the insecurities a young lad, who doesn’t realize his responsibilities and goes wayward in his life.

Director Venu scores big in illustrating the problems in the lives of a middle-class family. You are definitely lying, if you don’t accept that, at least one scene in the film has happened to you in real life. The film captures your soul and commands your attention.

Devi Prasad, who is seen as a father of Sri Vishnu, aptly suited for the role of a middle-class family man. Sri Vishnu’s acting deserves a special mention. Satna Titus, (‘Bichagadu’ fame) shines well in her character. Actors in Hero’s sister and mother role have done justice.

Suresh Bobbili music is a plus for the movie. His BGM truly elevates and deepens the emotion of a scene. Interestingly, all the songs in the film are background songs and a part of the script. Bonthala Nageswar Reddy editing is good. Cinematography and Production values are decent.

Plus Points:

  • Story and Narration
  • Sri Vishnu and Satna Titus performance
  • Devi Prasad performance

Drawbacks:

  • Slow Narration
  • No Twists

Telugu Bullet Punchline: ‘Needi Naadi Oke Katha’ might be your story too!

MLA Movie Review

MLA- Manchi Lakshanalunna Abbai Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Movie Name: MLA – Manchi Lakshanalunna Abbai
Movie Cast: Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Kajal Aggarwal
Director: Upendra Madhav
Music Director: Mani Sharma
Production: Kiran Reddy Bharath Chowdary

In recent times, Kalyan Ram limited himself to produce films on his own banner. With MLA he has once again joined with other producers. Kalyan Ram is the one who introduced directors like Surender Reddy and Anil Ravipudi. Following the same sentiment, the Nandamuri hero gave a chance to debutant Upendra Madhav with MLA. Let us see whether the director has lived up to his promise or not!

Story:

Kalyan Ram gets his sister (Lasya) married to her boyfriend without the parent’s permission. Furious over this, Kalyan Ram’s father (Nagineedu) throws the children (Kalyan Ram and his Sister) outside. Along with his sister, and brother-in-law, Kalyan Ram stays in Bangalore. He falls in love with Kajal Agarwal. Later, he secures a job in the same company, where his brother-in-law works. The manager (Posani) of the company is a womanizer.

Even Kajal joins the same company and introduces herself as company owner’s daughter. Meanwhile, Kalyan Ram saves the company from a problem, and in that process comes to know that Kajal is not the owner’s daughter. Later, Kajal challenges him that, he needs to win the MLA seat from Veerabhadram constituency, over Gadappa, who is the sitting MLA for many turns. Did Kalyan Ram win? Did he win Kajal’s love? Why did Kajal put that condition? Watch the film to find the answers.

Analysis:

Just like many young and upcoming directors, Upendra Madhavi is someone who is trying to make a name for himself with unique ideas and scripts. If convincing a hero like Kalyan Ram with a routine story is itself an achievement, showcasing it on the silver screen is another achievement.

Anil Ravipudi made a routine story like ‘Patas’ into an attractive one. Even this time around, Kalyan Ram and Upendra Madhav might have thought on similar lines. But again, thinking and execution are far different. Though the movie has ample space to make it a commercial hit, routine scenes have let down the movie.

Instead of holding to the soul of the movie, the complete script revolves around subplots. This is where the director has gone horribly bad. Given the routine writing, the comedy scenes too failed to bring laughter.

Putting aside everything, Kalyan Ram is a sure watch out in the film. His ease of acting can be seen. There is a vast improvement in his dialogue diction and dance moves. Even Kajal Agarwal (female lead), Brahmanandam, Prudhvi, and Ravi Kishan’s (Villain) presence couldn’t save the movie, given its routine content.

The technical aspects are pretty good in the movie. Right from the production values, cinematography, and art, everything adds more flair to the move. Mani Sharma’s is truly back with the film, and his trademark melodies will accompany you to your home.

Plus Points:

  • Kalyan Ram
  • Kajal and Brahmanandam performances
  • Mani Sharma music

Drawbacks:

  • Routine Story
  • Narration

Telugu Bullet Punchline: MLA-You might have ‘MLA’ many times!

Ra Ra Movie Review and Rating

Ra Ra Movie Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Hero Srikanth who started his film career playing villain roles and character roles soon turned into a star with the film ‘Taj Mahal’. With films like Thaali, Pelli Sandadi, President Gari Pellam, and Khadgam, he became a household name. He is mainly known for his family drama movie. This time he comes up with the horror-comedy film ‘Ra Ra’.

Story:

Raj Kiran is an upcoming director. His last two films have bombed at the box office. His father, who is a great director dies, and his mother falls sick. The doctor asks Raj Kiran to come up with a successful film, as his success would help revive his mother. In this context, he chooses an old bungalow to pendown a horror film script. Surprisingly, he falls in love with a ghost, which has been residing in the bungalow. Did he manage to escape from the ghost? What kind of circumstances he had to face in the due course? To find answers to these questions, watch the movie on the big screen.

Analysis:

One can appreciate Srikanth for coming up with a horror-comedy film. This is the first the senior actor has chosen such kind of film. It wouldn’t take long to realize that his choice has turned out to be pretty bad. The film starts with the introduction of Srikanth and his team. Though it seems decent, it soon turns out to be a bag of cheap slapstick comedy. The overdose of one-liners is surely going to give a headache to the audience. One shouldn’t expect any interval bang with this movie.

Though the concept of having a love affair with the ghost seems interesting to a point, the director (whoever it is) failed to establish it properly. The core story only begins in the second half. Few scenes are highly unconvincing and remind us of stage dramas at our young age. The only breather is the comedy track between Srikanth and Shakalaka Shankar.

The cinematography is the best as far as the technical team is concerned. The director failed to showcase what is written on the paper on the silver screen. The pale and overdose comedy in the first half is the biggest drawback in the film.

Plus Points:

  • Srikanth Performance
  • Shakalaka Shankar
  • Cinematography

Drawbacks:

  • Script and Screenplay
  • First-half comedy

Punch Line: Say No to ‘Ra Ra’ from Srikanth 

Telugu Bullet Rating: 2/5

Sketch Movie Review by Telugu Bullet

Sketch Movie Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Hero Vikram had a pretty good market even in the Telugu states in the past. He further expanded his market with the film ‘Aparichithudu’. He lost his market with the mega-budget film ‘Manoharudu – I’. The versatile actor is hoping that his flick ‘Sketch’ which fared decently in Kollywood, might bring back his lost market in the Telugu states. Let’s take a look whether he is successful or not!

Story:

A gang of four works in a garage. Jeeva (Vikram) leads the group. Jeeva is nicknamed ‘sketch’ for his novel ideas. These four work under a Vehicle Finance dealer as recovery agents. The moment he sees the heroine, he falls in love with her. Jeeva ensures that even falls for him. At this juncture, the villain plans to take his vengeance over the group over an issue with a Vintage Car. Similarly, the gang falls into the eyes of a police officer who jumps into the scene to hunt the villain.

Slowly, each one of his friends from the gang starts disappearing. Who is behind this? What happened to Jeeva’s friends? What is the end?

Analysis:

All and out, this is purely a mass masala entertainer. The only fresh breather is the ‘message’ the film tries to convey. The twists before the interval and the climax, and Vikram’s performance are the saviours for the movie. The love track and the characterization of the heroine offer absolutely nothing new. It is shocking to see that the director limited Tamannah to the songs.

Surprisingly, the songs actually disturb the mood of the film, thanks to the screenplay. The action episodes, Vikram’s character, and twists help the movie to look better to inferior. Thaman continues his good form both with the BGM and the songs. Apart from the aforementioned, there is hardly anything one can see on the silver screen.

Plus Points:

  • Vikram Action
  • Cinematography

Drawbacks:

  • Story & Screenplay

Punchline: Same old ‘Sketch’

Manasuku Nachindi Movie Review – Telugu Bullet

Manasuku Nachindi Movie Review  

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Movie: Manasuku Nachindi
Actors: Amyra Dastur, Sundeep Kishan, Tridha Choudhury, Adith Arun, Priyadarshi Pulikonda, Punarnavi Bhupalam, Sanjay Swaroop, Jaanvi Swaroop
Director: Manjula Ghattamaneni
Production: P Kiran, Sanjay Swaroop
Camera and Electrical: Ravi Yadav

Making her debut as a director, Ghattamaneni Manjula, daughter of Superstar Krishna and sister of Superstar Mahesh Babu, directed the film ‘Manasuku Nachindi’. Sandeep Kishan, Amyra Dastur and Tridha Choudhury are playing the lead roles. Manjula’s daughter, Jahnavi, also played a small role in the film. Given the tag that the film is coming from Ghattamaneni family, Superstar Mahesh Babu Fans have already made arrangements to release the film. Let us know whether the film has lived to its expectations or not.

Story:

Sooraj (Sandeep Kishan) and Nithya (Amyra Dastur) are cousins, and best buddies too. Their parents perceive the friendship of Sooraj and Nithya as love and fix their marriage. With no other option, both of them elope to Goa. While Sooraj is passionate about photography, Nithya is obsessed with nature. She even starts meditation classes in Goa. Nikita aka Nikki (Tridha Choudhury) also attends these classes.

With time, Sooraj falls in love with Nikki, and even Nikki too accepts his proposal. At this time, Nithya realizes that it is indeed loved she is having towards Sooraj all this while, and just not friendship. She even goes to an extent of breaking Sooraj-Nikki relationship. After she comes to know that, Sooraj is not loving her, she accepts the love proposal from Abhay (Naveen). Both the love couples marriages get fixed.

This is when Sooraj too realizes that he is actually loving Nithya. Did Sooraj confess his love to Nithya? Will they get married? How did Nithya come to know that she is actually loving Sooraj? What about their (Sooraj and Nithya) parents reaction? To know these, watch the movie on the screen.

Analysis:

Sandeep Kishan fared decently in the film. But the actor failed to impress when it came to emotional scenes. On the contrary, Amyra Dastur, who is debuting in Telugu with this movie, gave an exceptional performance in terms of her acting, and screen presence. She was able to bring depth to emotional scenes. Another heroine, Tridha Choudhury did not have much screen space. She did decently well in the limited scope of her character. Manjula’s daughter, Jahnavi is a surprise. With her acting and timing, she impressed the audience.

The movie’s first half falls completely flat. No wonder if the audience complaint that, they found it difficult to sit and watch the movie. The second half is a saviour of the film. Nassar plays the grandfather role of the lead pair. Indeed, his character is the ‘key’ to the entire film. Priyadarshi comedy is just up to the mark.

Ghattamaneni Manjula, who is debuting as the director of the film, came up with the storyline, ‘one will be happy if they do what their heart says’. To this, she adds the importance of nature. The movie revolves around the friendship between two cousins, how it transforms into love, what are the hardships they faced, and how would they finally get together. This is nothing but a run-of-the-mill story, which we had seen repeatedly in Telugu films for the past two decades. The story selection itself is the biggest minus point to the entire film. Ravi Yadhav, with his cinematography, captured the soul of the film through his lens. Music by Raadhan is a big letdown. A couple of songs literally irrigate the audience. The production values from Gemini Kiran are excellent.

Plus Points:

  • Story Line
  • Cinematography
  • Jahnavi Acting
  • Background Score

Drawbacks:

  • Script and Screenplay
  • Music
  • Editing
  • Comedy

Awe movie review – Telugu Bullet

Awe Telugu Movie Review and Rating

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Movie: Awe
Actors: Kajal Aggarwal, Nithya Menon, Regina Cassandra, Eesha Rebba, Srinivas Avasarala, Murali Sharma, Rohini, Priyadharshi, Nani, Raviteja.

Director: Prashanth Varma
Production: Nani, Prashanti Tipirneni
Music: Mark K. Robin
Cinematography: Karthik Ghattamaneni
Editor: Goutham Nerusu

The moment the news broke out that ‘Natural Star’ Nani is producing a film, it raised expectations for the film. Despite his stint as a star hero, currently having a golden time in his career, Nani opted to try the ‘Production’ too. What’s more shocking is, the film marks the debut of a director, and that too a film with no commercial elements. What is the story that made Nani produce the film? Is it possible to make a Telugu film without commercial elements? Let’s know about them!

 Story:

There is absolutely no story in Awe. Indeed, it is the lives of the ‘character’ that we see on the screen. How to live and not to live? Way to die? If we continue telling about the list, it is endless. Frankly, trying to make a motion picture on this concept itself is a great achievement, but Prashant Varma not only made the film but also impressed everyone.

Awe starts off in an ultra-modern food court, with a Lesbian couple (Eesha Rebba and Nithya Menen) trying to convince their parents for their marriage. Then comes a woman (Kajal) filled with animosity, who plans to commit suicide and kill others. A drug addict waitress (Regina) is feeling low after her boyfriend asks her to help him in a burglary. We have the restaurant owner (Pragathi) who is busy convincing an investor to further expand the business. A little brave and gutsy girl, the owner’s daughter, wishes to extend her help to the needy around her.

Parallelly, there is the magician (Murali Sharma) who feels he is the best in the world. An unemployed young lad (Priyadarshi) works as a chef, thanks to YouTube. To him are two friends, the fish (Nani) and the tree (Ravi Teja).

Interestingly, our final character, a watchman (Avasarala Srinivas) who wishes to become a great scientist one day, and go to his parents. The food court becomes the testimony of the lives of all these characters. So what happened next? How are all these connected? To watch more, watch Awe on the big screen.

Analysis:

For a change, the success of the film isn’t actually on how the film is. It depends upon the ability of an average Telugu audience to understand the sub-plots and sub-thoughts within each character. Frankly speaking, director Prashant Varma won the moment, Nani got convinced on hearing the script and came forward to produce the movie. Given the complexity and depth of each individual character, the director nailed it to perfection on the screen. On a simple note, the director transformed the entire universe into a small food court, with billion feelings, built among the 10 characters.

Each character makes deep inroads into feelings and emotions. Be it the lesbian couple, the suicidal woman, or the fish and the tree. If someone asks to come up with a single word to define the film, it is an infusion; evolving from deep hardened and subtle human emotions.

If someone is well-versed with our ancient scriptures, they can truly find the inner meaning of the film. A human thought is hardly comparable when we compare ourselves to the unending universe. At the same time, in every human’s mind, there is an entire universe. This is the same philosophy one can come across with the Shaivite ‘Advaithva’ philosophy. Similar, the lines from Lord Sri Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita ‘Asathoma Sadgamaya… Tamasoma Jyothirgamaya… Mruthyormam Amruthangamaya…’ If there is anyone after the director Prashant Varma to be appreciated, it is the producer ‘Natural Star’ Nani. The hero truly deserves a special mention for making a dream into reality.

Coming to the performances, the cast excelled in their respective characters. Besides the lead cast performance, the voice over from Nani (for the fish) and Ravi Teja (for the tree) bring that extra flair to the movie. On a whole, the film is a sheer dream of the director. Just as Nani said, the film may or may not be liked by the Telugu audience presently. But there will be a day, where everyone will like this film.

Nevertheless, just like they say, the understanding of Bhagavad Gita is purely dependent on the interpreter’s mental ability and stability. The same is even with ‘Awe’.

Telugu Bullet Punchline: You will be Awestruck with AWE!

Idi Naa Love Story Movie Review and Rating

Idi Na Love Story Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Tarun had blockbuster hits during his time in the Tollywood film industry. His films were a synonym for young and refreshing love stories. From being a chocolate boy, the hero managed to become a leading actor in a short time. Just like everyone has a fall, Tarun too had a fall, but a drastic fall. After taking a long break, Tarun is back with ‘Idi Na Love Story’

Story:

Rachana, who works as an RJ (Radio Jockey) sends her brother Abhi (Tarun) to Araku, to meet her fiancée’s sister. She hopes both of them to get into love. He gets to meet another girl Dr Shruti (Oviya) when no one is at home. Both of them share a lot about their past love stories and eventually falls in love. The story takes a different turn when Abhi comes to know that, Shruti is not the one whom his sister asked him to meet. To make it up, Shruti comes with different stories trying to reason out. Did Abhi confess his love? What about the girl Rachana asked Abhi to meet? And how did Abhi sort out everything?

Analysis:

The films start off with Tarun narrating a story. Though there has been much hype around the film, be it because of Tarun’s comeback, or the title itself, the movie did live up to its expectations. The theme is quite old; a love story. But the new elements give us the fresh feeling.

The screenplay has been above par, and direction is quite good. Though the dialogues seem horrendously funny and lame at times, few of them are sure to have a long impact. Director could have made use of other characters in the film too. It makes sense that the whole film revolves around the lead pair, at the same time, no one wants to see the same faces in every frame.

Despite the film being an official remake of a Kannada film, the director made some key changes to suit the script to Telugu audience. The writing could have been much better. There is a lot of scope for improvisation in terms of the script. Cinematographer Christopher Joseph was successful in capturing the emotions and feeling through his lens. While, composer Srinath Vijay gave some soothing, romantic and fresh music.

In spite of a long break, Tharun still has the charm to woo the young audience of this generation. That chocolate boy has transformed into a better actor, who is capable of coming up with subtle emotions. Oviya Helen as Dr Shruti excelled in her role. Though it is her debut movie in Telugu, we really don’t feel that way. The chemistry between the lead pair worked quite well on the silver screen. Rest of the characters are needless.

Plus points:

  • Tarun and Oviya performances
  • Story
  • Cinematography and Music

Drawbacks:

  • Script
  • Too much focus on Lead pair
  • Pale writing, especially few dialogues

Intelligent Movie Review by Telugu Bullet

Intelligent Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

Movie Name: Intelligent
Actors: Sai Dharam Tej, Lavanya Tripathi, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sayaji Shinde
Director: V. V. Vinayak
Story Writer: Akula Shiva
Music Director: S. Thaman
Cinematography: S. V. Vishweshwar
Editor: Gowtham Raju
Producer: Ck Entertainments

Sai Dharam Tej is one hero, despite seeing back-to-back flops, is still managing to hold mass fan following. He comes up as ‘Intelligent’ this time. VV Vinayak, who directed ‘Khaidi No.150’ the landmark 150th film of Megastar, directed ‘Intelligent’. Lavanya Tripathi played the female lead opposite to Sai Dharam Tej. Did Sai Dharam Tej impress the audience with ‘Intelligent’? Let’s see!

Story:

Teju (Sai Dharam Tej) is a software engineer working for an IT firm headed by Nassar. He is a sincere and honest employee and is lauded by everyone in his office. Similarly, even Nassar is a kind-hearted person and takes care of orphan children. It is at this time, a corporate mafia gang tries to overtake Nassar Company. Shockingly, Nassar transfers the company to the mafia gang and commits suicide.

To solve the mystery behind the death of Nassar, and the corporate mafia gang, Teju comes up with a new avatar; Dharma Bhai. Why are the corporate mafia gang behind Nassar’s Company? What forced Nassar to commit suicide? Did Teju as Dharma Bhai succeed in his mission? To know the answers, watch the movie on the silver screen.

Analysis:

On watching the film, you might end up feeling like the movie has been directed by a debutante. The movie is a big letdown on all fronts. It is hard to believe that, VV Vinayak who directed Megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No. 150’ came up with such this kind of movie. What’s more shocking is that, VV Vinayak who is known for his out-and-out commercial hits, choosing this kind of run-of-the-mill storyline for Sai Dharam Tej who is currently struggling. The narration and screenplay hardly impress the audience.

The sentimental scenes are hardly engaging. Given the dull and boring narration, the heroism takes back seat. Action sequences are by far the only face-off for the director. Comedy, which plays a vital role in VV Vinayak’s film, failed to its best. Except for a couple of scenes from Sapthagiri and Prudhvi, there is no scope for laughs. Brahmanandam is utterly wasted. 

Just like in any other commercial film, the heroine, Lavanya Tripathi is only meant for her glamour show more than anything else.

Sai Dharam Tej does justice to his role as usual. His dance moves impress, while his fond imitation of Chiranjeevi might irritate at times.

The production values from CK productions match nowhere to the current standards. Music from SS Thaman, who seems to be in a good rhythm in recent times, is a clear letdown. Except for the remix of ‘Chamaku Chamaku Cham…’ and ‘Na Cell Phone’, the other two songs are just mere fillers. ‘Na Cell Phone’ is a lift-off from Backstreet Boys, ‘Everybody’. The cinematography is on par.

Plus Points:

  • Two Songs
  • Two comedy scenes
  • Lavanya Tripathi glamour

Drawbacks:

  • Excluding plus points, everything

Telugu Bullet Punchline: If you are intelligent, you will surely skip ‘Intelligent’.

Tholiprema Movie Review

Tholiprema Movie Review

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

Movie Name: Tholiprema
Actors: Varun Tej, Raashi Khanna,
Director: Venky Atluri
Music Director: S. Thaman
Cinematography: George C. Williams
Editor: Navin Nooli
Producer: Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra

Varun Tej who baked in the success of Fidaa for a long time is once again back to business to entertain the young audience with ‘Tholiprema’. Right from the title, (taken from Pawan Kalyan’s Tholiprema-1998), the film made its message clear and loud; a youthful love story. Raashi Khanna dazzled alongside Varun Tej for this movie. Did Tholiprema make an impact? Or just remained as another routine flick? Let’s know!

Story:

The director moves the story to and fro right from its first frame. While the movie starts in London, the plot starts with its flashback. Adi (Varun Tej) bumps into Varsha (Raashi Khanna) on a train journey in 2011. They both get on well with each other, and fall in love. Soon they end up in the same college and share some memorable moments. Unexpectedly, few uncalled events lead the beautiful pair into a breakup. With each other’s ways apart, time quickly clocks 6 years on the calendar.

Coming to the present, Adi is seen working for a company in London. Soon, Varsha also finds herself, not only in the same company but in the same team as Adi. The couple starts working on their lost relationship and realizes that the magic between them still exists. With a routine climax, the movie ends with the couple getting back together.

Analysis:

Written and directed by Venky Atluri, Tholiprema is a cute love story. The concept of love-breakup-love sums up the whole movie. The movie rightly finds itself in the hearts of the current generation, who often break up with their beloved ones due to egos and other external factors. Though the film starts on a routine note, the chemistry between the lead pair draws us into the movie. The characterization of Varsha needs a special mention.

While the 1st half goes on a routine note, few moments like the Rakhee scene, and romance work very well. Two songs in the 1st half make it more appealing.

The second half, in comparison to the 1st half, falls flat. After a gap of 6 years, the lead-pair find themselves working in the same team. Hyper Adi comedy works a little. Adi keeps himself away from Varsha. But Varsha wants Adi desperately. With a turn of events, the love between them once again blossoms. The movie ends with a lip lock between Adi and Varsha.

It is true that one cannot expect any out-of-the world climax for a cute love story like this. But the director could have added depth to Adi’s character. The dialogues don’t make much impact in the second half.

Raashi Khanna glamour is bound to woo the audience of all classes. One a whole, go and watch the film without any expectations.  You will not be disappointed. And we warn you, don’t expect the magic of Pawan Kalyan’s Tholiprema.

 Plus Points:

  • Direction, that suits the current generation
  • Chemistry between Lead pair
  • Varsha Characterization and Songs
  • Production Values

Drawbacks:

  • Lack of pace in 2nd half
  • Emotional content towards Climax
