Tej I Love You Movie Review & Full Story:

Sai Dharam Tej has forayed into the Telugu Film Industry as a nephew of the megastar Chiranjeevi. He made his mark with a series of hits like Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jevitham, Supreme, Subhramanyam for Sale and set a separate space for himself. This Supreme hero who has been suffering with two three back to back flops has teamed up with the classic banner Creative Commercials which made produced many hits with his uncle Chiranjeevi in the past. Touted to be a love story, the fact that the love story specialist Karunakaran helming this project raised the buzz. Impressive trailers and promos along with the presence of cute beauty Anupama Parameswaran increased the hype prior to the release. Let us see if Tej scored his much-needed hit or not.

Who said I Love you to Tej and Why?

Tej comes from a typical good middle-class family which is rich in love and emotions which we often see in any Karunakaran’s movies. Losing his parents at very young age, Tej gets raised by his big Uncle and his small Uncle in a joint family. Once Tej helps a lady who is escaping from his family and rowdies to get her to the railway station. During that process, he kills a goon with a big stone and goes to jail for murdering. After returning to home spending seven years in Jail, Tej reaches home and comes to know that his family forces his sister to get married without liking. Tej helps his Sister to marry her lover and pays huge price from his family. Deeply hurt by Tej’s lifestyle and actions, his family throws him out forever.

Jumping to the introduction of the heroine, Nandini ( Anupama) arrives India from London to make the last wish of her mother to become true. Tej sees her unexpectedly and falls in love with her at the very first sight. Unfortunately, she meets with an accident and forgets her past and Tej. Did she remember her past? Did she propose I love you to the Tej? What is her mother’s last wish? How is Tej related to that wish? Will be answered in the movie.

Did Tej gets his proposal well?

Karunakaran always banks on love stories since the beginning of his career. But he failed to meet the expectations of fans having a hero like Sai Dharam Tej in hand. Because the director made the viewer guess the next scene and screenplay. The narration is very flat such that one can easily predict the upcoming twists in the story. However, the comedy track is the only positive thing about this flick. The fact that the story’s old theme and bad narration played the spoilsport for this project. Even the star composer like Gopi Sundar failed to give much-needed tunes and background music for this flick. Camera work is of top notch and it became the main highlight amongst the slow screenplay. Producer K S Ramarao’s lavish production appeared in every frame such that the overall movie seemed very good in terms of production values. Lack of more twists and predictable story killed this movie’s pace to the core. Overall the movie’s first half is ok but the second half will disappoint fans. Tej failed to get his much needed success with Tej-I Love you.

Coming to the main leads, as usual, Tej gave his best as an actor and once can see his improvement in all the departments. He excelled in his mark mannerisms and comedy timing. Mega fans recollect megastar Chiranjeevi in one particular scene in the first half beginning. Anupama Parameswaran looked very beautiful and charming. She increased her glamour does to and extend to entertain her fans. Viva Harsha and his batch excelled in their roles as comedians and their comedy is a huge plus. 30 years industry Prudhvi and Sureka Vani’s couple entertained to the core. Other actors like Banerjee, Pavitra Lokesh, and others did their best in their respective roles.

Telugu Bullet Punch Line: It is difficult for audience to say that they Loved Tej

Pantham Movie Review

Cast: Gopichand, Mehreen, Prudhvi, Srinivasa Reddy, Jayaprakash Reddy etc.

Music: Gopi Sunder

Dialogues: Ramesh Reddy

Cinematography: Prasad Murella

Producer: KK Radha Mohan

Director: K Chakravarthi ( Chakri)

Pantham Movie Review & Full Story:

Gopichand has not scored a solid hit post the flick Loukyam. He has come up with the flick Pantham under the director Chakri who worked as an associate for the superhit flicks like Power and Jai Lava Kusa pairing with Mehreen. Touted to be an action thriller, this movie grabbed some pre-release buzz right from the day of its announcement. Theatrical trailer and release promos created a huge positive impact on the movie lovers. Let us see if this hard work from the team of Pantham gave a hit to the macho hero Gopi or not.

Reason for Gopichand’s “Pantham” ( Story): Vikranth Surana ( Gopichand) is a professional thief who loots the house of bigshots and rich people in the region. On this note, he robs the black money from the houses of Home Minister Jayendra ( Sampath) and Health Minister (Jayaprakash Reddy) in this process along with many other political leaders. Gopi and his gang gets caught to the Home Minister while he is robbing money from his girlfriend’s house and finds very crucial details about Vikrant which will leave him in shock. Then he discovers the fact that Vikranth is none other than the only son of one of the world’s richest man Surana group MD. the rest of the story revolves around why Vikranth is robbing money despite being the son of a rich man, why is he only targeting corrupt Politicians and his motto.The director indirectly reveals that the story is not a new one via the main lead role

Story of the Movie:

Government would provide certain amount to the deceased accident victims in the name of ex-gratia. The theme plot of the story revolves around this concept. The director took this point to have a brief concern of this amount being reached to the victim’s families or the middle people like Politicians and Government officials taking away this money. He added commerciality to this theme along with some cinematic liberties to have maximum impact. This type of role is said to be a tailor fit for Gopichand’s image and he did excel in his role as Vikranth Surana. Main antagonist’s role could have been better. Even though Gopi Sunder gave decent tunes, the way they picturised acted as speed breakers to the exciting plot. However, he excelled in the Rerecording in crucial scenes. Despite being directing the first time, maker Chakri’s attempt of delivering a social message sugar coated with commerciality gets good marks. However, he failed to keep the first half as exciting as the second half. Writer Ramesh Reddy’s dialogues were top notch especially the courtroom scene words stand as a highlight. Prasad Murella’s Cinematography is an added attraction. Producer Radha Krishna’s production values are very lavish and every frame appeared rich.

Actors Performance In Pantham:

Gopichand has been suffering with a series of flops and he is very hungry to score a hit. Pantham is one such opportunity for Gopi to have a feast showcasing his talent. With the experience of working as a main associate, the maker Chakri’s execution worked magically. The way he handled Gopi’s character with extra care did wonders on screen. Even though there are some boring scenes here and there, the final social message got delivered at the end without dragging. Apart from commerciality, the Political angle added new flavour to the flick. Being the 25th flick of this macho hero, he kept no limits to his talent. Gopichand excelled in dialogue deliveries and fights compared to the past. His acting skills in courtroom will thrill the fans. Mehreen’s role got limited to glamour and songs. Comedian Prudhvi entertained with his comedy timing in the first half. One gets a feeling that the director forcefully induced his comedy into the story for the sake of entertainment. Srinivasa Reddy, as usual, gave his best being hero’s best friend. Rallapalli, Ajay, Hamsa Nandini, Sayaji Shinde and others gave their maximum for their respective roles.

Telugu Buller Punch line: Patham Not a new thing

Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi Review (Telugu Movie) – By Telugu Bullet

0

Telugu movie connoisseurs will surely remember a movie released in recent times – Pelli Chupulu – This film was not just a massive hit but went to win the national award also. And the man behind the megaphone of this movie Tharun Bhascker has come up with another film titled – Ee Nagaraniki Yemaindi.

Ee Nagaraniki Yemaindi Movie Review & Full Story:

Talking of this film, all of those who have seen this film will surely remember a dialogue from it. Even before the release of this movie, this dialogue was the talking point. Backed by a renowned producer, D. Suresh Babu, perhaps coming from the backdrop of a huge hit, the expectations were surely high, lets jump into it and see what the latest offering from Tharun Bhascker has in store for us.

Story of the Movie:

As far as the story is concerned, it revolves around four friends sharing the joys of life together, but with their own dreams and aspirations – Vivek aspires to become a film director, Karthik dreams to hitch with the girl whose father owns a club where he works, Kaushik desires to become an actor, but as a stepping stone won’t mind working as a dubbing artist, to make a beginning, whereas, Upendra content with editing wedding
videos.

Short films – This is perhaps a massive trend we see in Tollywood these days – And the director of this film used it as a tool – The four friends decide to make a short film and face numerous challenges. Vivek supposedly, the captain of the ship goes astray over failure of his love, and stays aloof. But they come together to convince the club owner’s girl to wed Karthik and end up in Goa in unusual circumstances.

The twist in the tale comes when how their lives turn topsy-turvy and what eventually happens in the end is the real crux of the movie. Perhaps to give the movie the raw looks, the director, Tharun Bhascker went with the debutants, and must be appreciated that he extracted the best from them. They literally lived in their roles. The very fact that four
friends from middle class background, somewhat similar to boys next door, and how they about chasing their dreams is reminiscent of the struggles young boys of this generation face.

The sensitivities of these found young men and encounters in life were portrayed in the manner in which men of their age identity with, and this is done without an iota of exaggeration, kudos to the director.

Actors Performance in Ee Nagaraniki Yemaindi:

Perhaps the most striking point of the movie is the conversational language of the four young men, throughout the movie we all keep wondering; we have used these words somewhere in our lives. It is this, the dialogues, behaviour, body language, behaviour patterns of the four friends instantly connect with the audience.

The issues, concerns, challenges, agonies and ecstasies of the young generation is portrayed in the manner it should be depicted. Though, at times, perhaps, the movie could have been edited to make it a bit crisp, but then, in hindsight, you end up feeling, perhaps it works fine. With have, in Tollywood, seen some really classical films from Shekar Kammula and others, when their films touched the emotional chords of the heart, that understanding of the finer feelings of life. It must be appreciated and commended that Tharun Bhascker has achieved that excellence of cinema with his second film.

Let’s hope Ee Nagaraniki Yemaindi will dawn a new era in Telugu Cinema.

Telugu Bullet Rating for Ee Nagaraniki Yemaindi: 3/5 .

Jamba Lakidi Pamba (2018) – Telugu Movie Review & Rating

 

Srinivasa Reddy’s – Jamba Lakidi Pamba Review, Stroy Actors Performance & Telugu Bullet Rating:

Main Cast: Srinivasa Reddy, Siddhi Idnani, Posani Krishna Murali, Vennela Kishore,

Satyam Rajesh, Dhanaraj, Shakalaka Shankar etc

Music: Gopi Sundar

Cinematography: Satish Muthyala

Direction: J.B Murali Krishna

Introduction:

The flick Jamba Lakidi Pamba which got released in the year 1993 is a sensation at those times leaving fans in entertainment. Directed by E V V Satyanarayana, this flick which stars Naresh and Amani are the female leads in this cult classic. Now another movie starring Comedian turned hero Srinivas Reddy is coming to us after all these years. Since then no movie got close to such genre and variety script went nearer to Jambalakidi Pamba. However, the director of this new Jamba Lakidi Pamba made it clear that they only took the characters inspiration and titled whereas the rest of the movie is completely new and fresh. Released trailers and promos which carried good buzz became successful in raising expectations. Let us see if this flick reached the target or not.

Story:

Varun (Srinivas Reddy), Pallavi (Siddhi Idnani) gets married after falling in love with each other. Along with time, there exist common disputes between these two which eventually lead to mutual divorce. So they go to a famous lawyer Harischandra Prasad ( Posani) who helps as many as 99 couples to get divorced. As he is looking forward to entering the Guinness book of records by completing the 100th divorce case, he is more than happy to help the lead pair. Unexpectedly this Prasad along with his wife dies in a brutal car crash. After going to higher heavens, he gets rejected an entry by the Indra ( Suman) to live along with his wife as he became responsible for 99 divorce cases. In order to live in heaven with his wife, Suman asks Prasad to make Reddy and Pallavi united. The rest of the story is how Posani unites the lead pair and the way director narrated is the main highlight.

Review:

Comedian Srinivas Reddy despite going for heroic roles is intelligently picking up scripts which suit his image and range. He continued the same logic for the flick Jamba Lakidi Pamba as well. Even though he is the lead hero, Reddy continued to tickle the ribs with his style of comedy. Actress Siddhi Idnani who is debuting with this flick proved her mark with sensible acting. It is not an exaggeration if critics opine that she dominated the hero in some scenes especially in the gender changing scenes which include fights.

Apart from the lead heroes, happening artist Posani again showcased his acting skills as a lawyer who helps 99 couples for their divorce. His intention to enter records book by granting 100 divorces is hilariously narrated by the makers and became a highlight of the flick. Other lead comedians like Vennela Kishore, Satyam Rajesh, Tanikella Bharani, Raghu Babu, Hari Teja excelled in their roles. But the actors Shakalaka Shankar and Jayaprakash Reddy could have more screen space. Ali’s special cameo in an item song thrills the comedy lovers.

The production values are top notch as the producers bankrolled the movie out of passion. The director Murali did his hard work and one can see his desire of narrating a comedy-drama on the big screen. Murali apart from direction has showcased his writing skills through his dialogues embedded with power-packed punches which enthralled the mass audience. Despite the fact that this flick is a comedy entertainer, aspiring Mallu composer Gopi Sundar’s work is commendable. All his songs are pleasant and the item song tops the jukebox. Known for his background score, Gopi’s RR in the climax fight really helped the pace of the movie. Movie lovers say that Gopi who is famous for love stories should try mass entertainers in Telugu to repeat another Manyam Puli.

Satish Muthyala’s Cinematography is a huge plus to this project. However, the Editing department could have been better as many unwanted scenes troubled the pace of the movie. The makers should have taken care of the runtime to keep the flick crisp.

Naa Peru Surya Movie Review!

Allu Arjun Naa Peru Surya Movie Review

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

Movie Name: Na Peru Surya Naa Illu India Movie
Movie Cast: Allu Arjun, Anu Emmanuel, Arjun Sarja, Sarath Kumar
Director: Vakkantham Vamsi
Music Director: Vishal-Shekar
Producers: Nagababu, Sridhar Lagadapati

Story Writer Vakkantham Vamsi is making his directorial debut with ‘Naa Peru Surya, Naa Illu India’, starring Stylish Star Allu Arjun and Kerala Kutti Anu Immanuel. While Lagadapati Sridhar is producing the film, Mega brother Nagababu is presenting the movie. After hits like Sarrainodu, and DJ let us see whether Allu Arjun, who transformed himself into an Army Officer, will win at the box office or not.

Story:

Right from a very young age, Surya (Allu Arjun) is a straightforward guy, who gets into troubles, thanks to his short temper. He is currently stationed at the Dehradun Military Camp and aims to go to the Indo – Pakistan LOC (Line of Control). He ends up killing a terrorist and slapping an army officer who confronts him on the incident. Surya gets suspended on disciplinary grounds by the Colonel (Boman Irani).

After being away from the army for a good long time, Surya wishes to join the army once again. The Colonel promises that he will send Surya to the LOC, only if can get a positive test report from psychologist Raghuram Krishnam Raju (Arjun) in Vishakhapatnam.

Raghuram asks Surya to come after 21 days, and consult him once again. Did Raghuram sign on the report? Did Surya get a chance to fight at the border? What is the relation between Raghuram and Surya? How did Surya manage to stop the atrocities by Challa (Sarath Kumar)? Where, and how did Surya meet the heroine? To find the answers, watch the movie on the silver screen.

Analysis:

Allu Arjun has shown his brilliance as a person with a short temper. The entire movie is simply One Man Show. Bunny fans will be spellbound watching their favorite hero on the screen. Allu Arjun’s transformation into the shoes of an army officer is quite astonishing. The fight scene before the interval is the highlight of the movie.

The story isn’t that great, as it is being projected. With enough scope for comedy and elevation of the hero, character has connected with the audience quite well.

Love track between the lead pair is far from orthodox. In one of the scenes, the heroines ask the hero to go and talk about their marriage with her father. Surya, who is short term, starts strangling her neck. If the youth expects that they can see the regular kind of love track, they are definitely wrong.

Apart from the hero’s characterization, no other character is designed properly by the director. The entire film runs on ‘anger & short temper’. The director has failed to utilize a senior actor like Arjun, and a hard-working star hero like Allu Arjun. Sarath Kumar as the villain did not seem convincing.

Plus Points:

  • Bunny’s performance
  • Action Sequences & Army Training
  • Music
  • Emotional scenes between hero and his father    

Drawbacks:

  • Weak Story & Direction  
  • Slow narration & script
  • Too much drag

Telugu Bullet Punchline: Surya fails to shine!

Bharat Ane Nenu Movie Review

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.

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:

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!
