‘Balakrishnudu’ Review

‘Balakrishnudu’ Review

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

Nara Rohit is one hero who continued doing films irrespective of the hit and flop ratio. He is often known for his selection of unique films. His recent film, ‘Balakrishnudu’ released today. Let us see whether he has fared well or failed at the box office!

Story:

The film is set in the Rayalaseema region which is known for its factionists. Many people are killed in the name of faction by factionist leaders and groups. The two siblings, Ravinder Reddy (Aditya Menon) and Bhanumathi (Ramya Krishna) from Kurnool aim to change the mindset of the people. They both work together and develop the village. They stand as support to the people in the village. Ravinder Reddy’s counterpart, BC Reddy gets jealous over the former’s popularity and admiration in the village. He tries to stop the noble activities being carried out by Ravinder Reddy. Knowing this, Ravinder Reddy humiliates BC Reddy in front of the villagers. Unable to take humiliation, BC Reddy commits suicide. Soon, BC Reddy’s son Prathap Reddy (Ajay) and his group kill Ravinder Reddy.

Bhanumathi who is raged over the death of her brother starts killing each and every one in Prathap Reddy group. Realizing his death is inevitable, Prathap Reddy surrenders to the police. During his stint in the jail, Prathap Reddy plans the death of Bhanumathi’s niece Aadhya (Regina). On knowing this, Bhanumathi employs Balu (Nara Rohit) as Aadhya’s bodyguard. Balu develops a close relationship with Aadhya without letting her know who he is. Meanwhile, Prathap Reddy gets released from the jail earlier than thought for his good conduct. The rest of the story is how Prathap Reddy planned to kill Aadhya, how did Balu manage to save her from Prathap Reddy and what is the final conclusion of the movie.

Analysis:

Nara Rohit’s physical appearance comes as a surprise. Except for few scenes and songs where he is seen sporting a six-pack, he looks chubby for the rest of the film. Nara Rohit failed to impress the audience with his dance and fights. Things went so bad for him that, Regina had more screen time in the song before the pre-climax. The whole film revolves around Regina’s Aadhya character. She has done justice for her role in the film.

Though Ramya Krishna character seemed like it is a lot of depth, it slows deteriorates with the runtime. Ajay who has acted as the main villain failed to show ‘new mannerisms’ in the film. Prudhvi (30-years Industry) is the only one who has to be credited in the film. With his impeccable timing and dialogue delivery, he manages to entertain the audience for a good while. Vennela Kishore, Raghubabu, Srinivas Reddy and others performed their roles decently well. 

The film is a complete letdown form the director Pavan Mallela. There was nothing new in the whole film. The story, narration, and screenplay seemed very routine. Mani Sharma’s troubles as music director continue even with this film. On the whole, Nara Rohit wholeheartedly disappointed his fans and audience by acting in a routine and a boring movie.

Plus Points:

  • Regina’s skin show for B & C Centers
  • Initial screen presence of Ramya Krishna

Drawbacks:

  • Everything in the film

Punchline: The film lacks punch in everything. Skip it and save your bucks. Rating: 2.5/5

‘Devi Sri Prasad’ Review

‘Devi Sri Prasad’ Review

‘Devi Sri Prasad’ Review

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

The film ‘Devi Sri Prasad’ clearly represents the new trend of filmmaking in Telugu Film Industry. The whole concept of the film revolves around a single point; Sex with a dead body. If a director approached a producer with this kind of concept a decade ago, he would be immediately necked-out of the office. But it is really a gutsy move from the director to come out with such a strong ‘negative point’. The film is loosely based on a Korean movie.

Story:

The film opens with three friends; Devi, Sri, and Prasad. Devi works as an auto driver, while Sri works in a hospital as ward boy and Prasad runs a tea stall. Each has a different characterization in the film. Devi by nature is ‘wild’ guy. Sri is more like a ‘go with the wind’ type while Prasad seems to be the ‘good guy’ in the film. All the three friends like the heroine ‘Leela’. After they come to know that their favourite heroine is participating in a shooting nearby they go to the location. Later they come to know that Leela has died in an accident.

The heroine’s dead body will be brought to the hospital where Sri is working. Sri informs the same to Devi and Prasad. On seeing Leela (dead body) from a very close distance, pervert thoughts occupy the mind of Devi. Suddenly Leela comes to life. The rest of the story is about how Leela came to life, what has happened and how do the lives of these three friends turn out to be.

Analysis

The film revolves around the basic thought of, ‘there is no security for women even after their death’. The director chose to tell this serious subject in a unique and different manner. We can say, the director has been successful in expressing what he wanted to tell. When the film’s script revolves around a crime story, it is very important to have a logical explanation for the most part. But the director clearly moves too far away from logic. The best part of the whole film is its run-time. Being a 90-minute feature film, it’s crisp and paced. One has to appreciate the director’s effort in making the film with just 5 characters.

Bhupal, Dhanraj, and Manoj Nandan as Devi, Sri, and Prasad have done justice to their roles. Pooja Ramachandran played the character of ‘Leela’. The heroine managed to perform well in her role. Kraman’s music helps in elevating the mood of the film, and Cinematography from Phanindra Varma seems decent. Few dialogues from the film surely accompany us till home. Sekhar Vikyath has written the dialogues for the film.

Plus Points:

  • Plot of the film
  • Direction
  • Lead Actors

Drawbacks:

  • The film misses Logic by too much

‘Mental Madhilo’ Review

‘Mental Madhilo’ Review

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

After tasting success with his first production ‘Pelli Choopulu’, producer Raj Kandukuri comes up with his second production ‘Mental Madhilo’. The film introduces new director Vivek Athreya. After giving a commercial hit like Pelli Choopulu, a producer is bound to be under some pressure. The producer needs to make his judgment in the midst of the future of his production and the past success. Let us know whether Raj Kandukuri’s judgment proved worthy or not.

Story:

Aravind Krishna is a simple guy who works for an IT company. He keeps himself away from women. He is often confused in his decision making. On the other side, we have Sweccha who is a young energetic girl. She is ultra-modern and is clear about her decision-making ability. Interestingly, Aravind’s marriage is arranged with Sweccha. After their engagement gets postponed due to some reasons, Aravind leaves to Mumbai for an official purpose. On his return to Hyderabad, he calls-off the marriage with Sweccha. The rest of the film is all about the reasons behind his change of mind, and how the couple ends up.

Analysis:

In an age where Telugu cinema is dominated by a ‘formulaic’ approach, the film comes as a fresh-breather. The film seconds the fact that the director has a comprehensive grip on the language, the middle-class environment, and youth’s emotions. Nowhere we find a romantic scene or unusual dialogue. The film solely relies on the script and screenplay. It is hard to believe that this is the directorial debut for Vivek. He managed to showcase the emotions and feelings of the characters close to audience hearts. Vivek Athreya is definitely a watch-out talent in the future.

The actors have played their roles brilliantly. We only get to see the characters than the actors in the film. Sri Vishnu is evolving as a wonderful actor. It is understood by the way he played the role of ‘Aravind Krishna’. Similarly, heroine Nivetha Pethuraj excelled brilliantly as ‘Sweccha’. ‘Amrutha Srinivasan’ played by Sivaji Raja leaves a deep impact even after the audience leaves the theatres. 

Cinematography and Music are strong supporting elements of the film. The producer’s mark is clearly seen right from the selection of the cast and crew, production standards, marketing and promotion of the film. The Telugu Film industry needs producers like Raj Kandukuri to hold its head high.

Plus Points:

  • Everything in the film
  • Cast and Crew

Drawbacks:

  • Get a microscope!

Punch Line: The film shows the ‘real you’ to you!

Rating: 4/5

Khakee Movie Review by Telugu Bullet

Khakee Telugu Movie Review and Rating

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

Though being a Tamil hero, Karthi has been quite popular in Telugu films too. He is so popular that, almost every film of his is being dubbed into Telugu. Karthi is seen thoroughly working on his film to improve his Telugu market after doing a film like Oopiri. His last film Cheliya was a disaster at the Telugu box office, while his previous film Kashmora remained as a decent grosser. Recently, the Tamil hero has come with one more film ‘Khakee’, dubbed version of Tamil film Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru.

Story:

Dheeraj Hari Prasad (Karthi) falls in love with the girl-next-door Priya (Rakul Preeth Singh) during his training period as an IPS officer. The couple’s relationship blossoms and heads towards a marriage. But, being a new officer, Dheeraj is repeatedly transferred from one place to another. During this time, Dheeraj’s starts to focus on a case relating to murdering of a family leaving along the Chennai Highway.

As he investigates further into the case, Dheeraj finds out that a Rajasthan gang that is responsible for this horrific murder and many more murders that have taken place around the nation. In his quest to see the end of the Rajasthan Gang, 1 ½ years pass by. The rest of the story deals with the vengeance he had to face from the Rajasthan Gang, and how he managed to deal with it.

Analysis:

The director has surely come out with a good crime-thriller story for the film. Though many films in the past have been on the same lines, watching Khakee gives us a fresh feeling. The audience might recollect a hint of Dandupalyam and Gharshana movies for a brief moment during few investigative scenes. The romantic scenes in the film appear to be distracting and unsettling from the outset. But the director gives a proper backdrop for the romantic track between the lead actors. The film is a good watch for crime-thriller genre audience.

The narration of the story from the perspective of a ‘Police Mind’, along with the perspective of the hero and the villain makes it more interesting and gripping. The director managed to clearly illustrate the difficulties an honest police officer come across while investigating a case, and also exemplified the cruel mind of a criminal.

The director’s success lied in his ability to show Karthi as an ‘Angry Young Man’. This film will be refreshing to the audience who have seen Karthi as a lover boy so far. Both Rakul Preeth Singh and Abhimanyu Singh breath life in their characters on screen.

Positive Points:

  • Narration and Direction
  • Hero
  • Villain

Drawbacks:

  • Slight drag
  • Extreme Reality in few scenes

Telugu Bullet Punchline: Watch Khakee to understand the reality of an honest Police Officer!

Gruham Telugu Movie Review and Rating

Gruham Movie Review and Rating

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

Siddharth, who is well known for his chocolate boy and boy-next-door roles came up with altogether a different film. The hero has been away from Telugu movies in the past two years after a series of flops. In the past few years, Siddharth limited himself to few number of the film in Tamil by acting in unique films. He did see a couple of hits in Kollywood. His recent horror-flick ‘Aval’ has become a super hit in Kollywood and released as ‘Gruham’ in Telugu today.

Story:

Krish (Siddharth) and Lakshmi (Andrea) are a happy couple who got recently married. They both are excited about their new life and spend together as much as they can. When everything seems to be perfectly fine, a new family moves into their neighborhood. A girl (called Anisha) from the newly-moved in the family starts liking Krish from the very moment she sees him. Anisha is also aware the Krish is the married guy. From that point, things take a different turn with evil premonitions being a common sight in Krish’s and Anisha’s house.

An unknown evil spirit starts frightening them resulting in horrifying events that start taking place. During this time, the girl who liked Krish commits a suicide attempt to end her life. And it is during this period, Lakshmi becomes a pregnant. With the uncommon sights taking place, Krish takes the help of an exorcist. Unfortunately, Krish will be possessed by a soul. All of a sudden, two souls of Chinese women (Mother and daughter) who previously lived in the house start attacking the possessed Krish.

Who possessed Krish? What happens to the lives of Krish and Lakshmi? And what is the fate of the girl who liked Krish? One has to see the film on celluloid to find out the answers to these questions.

Analysis:

The film is based on a long-debated concept of, Science vs Faith. The film is inspired by the Hollywood horror flick ‘The House next door’. Science possibly tries to explain the reason behind every event that takes place. But while finding a solution, it’s the faith that matters a lot. The director of the film managed to convey that, ‘If Science and Faith come together, one can solve a problem’, with ease. The film moves away from a contemporary horror film in India and rather depicts horror in a more realistic manner than the jump scares and shouts.

One can expect to see Siddharth in his new avatar as Krish. Veteran actor Suresh has given one his best performances in this film. He plays the role of a Psychiatrist. Athul Kulkarni’s character also leaves a deep impact on our minds. The film is the result of sheer dedication and concept the director has believed in. Don’t be surprised if the characters of Krish, Lakshmi and Anisha haunt you on your way back to your home. The success of the film depends on the fact that, whether the audience will be able to understand the complex concept of ‘Science and Faith working in rapport or not.

Positive Points:

  • Visuals and Acting
  • Script, Narration and Background Music

Drawbacks:

  • Complex Concept.

Telugu Bullet Punchline: Even if you are weak hearted, do watch the film once! It’s worth it!

London Babulu Telugu Bullet Review

London Babulu Movie Review and Rating

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

Looking at the recent trend of Telugu films, it is clear that the Telugu Film Industry will have a good future. Moving away from the typical stereotype movies, the new generation is coming up with new concepts and ideas. ‘London Babulu’ film is surely going to steal the hearts of the Telugu audience. The film is an official remake of Tamil movie ‘Aandavan Kattalai’.

Story:

Gandhi (Rakshith) is one among a gang of youngsters who dream to settle in life by working in abroad. Gandhi’s dream of going to London comes to a standstill after his visa gets rejected. He understands that the visa officer rejected his visa because he is a bachelor, assuming that it is common for a bachelor to settle permanently in the visiting country.

It is during this time Gandhi comes in touch with a girl called Suryakantham (Swathi). After Gandhi and Suryakantham meet, the story takes completely a different turn. The rest of the story is all about how the couple’s life goes ahead and will Gandhi accomplish his London dream or not.

Analysis:

The film’s director, Chinni Krishna’s films have been utter flops in the past. The film has been produced by Maruthi, who relies a lot on his ‘brand image’ for the success while producing small budget movies. The first 15 minutes of the film leaves many people confused. But with the introduction of Ali character, one can understand it is a deliberate move of the director. The first half is filled with laughs and giggles, while the second half unveils the sentiment and emotional quotient of the film. It is surprising the way Chinni Krishna has handled the script and narration all through the film. It is hard to believe that he directed few flop movies in the past. The best part of the whole film is, every character has a key role to play in the film. It feels as if the film would lose its essence, even one character in the film is ignored.

The screenplay and dialogues of the film are written by Chinni Krishna himself. Few dialogues are bound to invoke the emotions and sentiments of anyone watching the film.

The cast in the film should be praised for their acting abilities. Apart from a couple of scenes, nowhere in the film, we feel that Rakshith is a new actor. Swathi, who is known for her bubbliness excelled splendidly as Suryakantham. Ali is undoubtedly among the highlights of the film. Mentioning the names of Murali Sharma, Satya, Jeeva, Ajay Ghosh, Dhanraj, Priyadarsi, Venu, Raja Ravindra, Satya Krishnan might seem quite obvious. But they truly deserve the mention. Shyam K Naidu’s photography is another highlight in the film.

Plus Points:

  • Story, Screenplay, and Narration
  • Actors
  • Direction and Dialogues

Drawbacks:

Demands absolute concentration of the viewer to understand the film.

C/O Surya movie Review

C/O Surya movie Review:

Director: Suseenthiran
Music director: D. Imman
Production company: Lakshmi Narasimha Entertainments
Screenplay: Suseenthiran
Language: Telugu language
Cast: Mehrene Kaur Pirzada, Sundeep Kishan

Sandeep Kishan who made an impression with films like Prasthanam and Venkatadri Express is having a tough time in the recent past. To ensure he is right on track, the hero has shown utmost care while signing the films. It looks like his recent film, C/O Surya will give him a much-required break in his career once again. With ‘Na Peru Siva’ director Suseenthiran directing the film, the expectations were pretty high. Mehreen Pirzada, the Lady of Luck has starred opposite Sandeep Kishan in the film.

Story:

The plot revolves around a contract killer and two friends. Sandeep Kishan and Vikranth are very good friends. A slight misunderstanding disturbs their friendship. During this time, Vikranth gets into a brawl with a Contract killer. In order to save his friend, and his friend’s family Sandeep Kishan gets into actions. During this process, Sandeep Kishan comes to know atrocities that are being committed by the serial killer.  The story revolves around the strategic play between the villain who smartly commits a crime and the hero, who tries to nab the villain.

Analysis:

The story of the film reminds Sandeep Kishan’s ‘Tiger’ that has released in the past. Though the subject is old, the way the director narrates it is outstanding. The director excelled in showcasing the smartness of current generation who are using technology and internet to solve mysteries. The film shows how people one can kill without causing a hint of doubt or leaving a clue. Sandeep Kishan and Harish Utthaman clearly excelled in their respective roles of good guy and bad guy.

Though these kinds of characters seem like a cake walk for Sandeep Kishan, the way he dealt with his role in the film raises expectations on him as an actor. It looks like the Telugu Film Industry has found a new villain in the form of Harish Utthaman. His unique villain mannerisms are a watch out in the film. Music, Dialogues, and Camera departments have thoroughly excelled through the film. A couple of scenes between the lead pair Sandeep Kishan and Mehreen Pirzada might be a bit uncomfortable to watch with the family.

Plus Points:

Direction and Screenplay

Action Sequences

Hero and Villain

Drawbacks:

Hint of Tamil flavour at times

‘Okkadu Migiladu’ movie review

‘Okkadu Migiladu’ movie review:

Movie Name: Okkadu Migiladu

Movie Cast: Manchu Manoj, Anisha Ambrose, Milind Gunaji, Posani

Director: Ajay Andrews

Music Director: Siva R Nandigam

Production: SN Reddy

From the last decade or so, most of the Indian films have linked themselves with controversies. And interestingly, few production houses and directors choose subjects that stir controversies after the film’s release. Many films that have been produced on those lines are still ‘yet to be released’. One such film is ‘Kutrapathrikai,’ a Tamil film that attempted to thread the facts around the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. The film directed by R.K. Selvamani in 1991 released in 2007 after the Censor Board stopped its release for over 13 years.

Even the upcoming Bollywood flick ‘Padmavathi’ under the direction of Sanjay Leela Bansali is mired with controversies. It’s really surprising that, Manchu Manoj starrer ‘Okkadu Migiladu,’ has released without any such controversies. The film is based on LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.

Story:

Police officials are seen interrogating a student leader in a jail. The student leader (Manoj) associates him with the problems going in the society. Along with other students, he takes the responsibility of ‘cleansing’ the society on to his shoulders. He raises his voice against the social evils and often gets into trouble. The police try to find out about the whereabouts of the student leader after his relentless struggle against the evil in the society surprise them. The flashback begins with the life of LTTE Prabhakaran (Manoj), his life and how the student leader is related to the LTTE leader.

Analysis:

From the outset, it would be clear that the director Ajay Andrews believes that a ‘film’ can be used as a medium to even inspire the audience. ‘Okkadu Migiladu’ can be considered as an extension to his previous film ‘Ravana Desam’ (2013) which depicted the hostile environment that prevailed in Sri Lanka in 2009. Coming from a family of freedom fighters, Ajay has shown how an individual would behave when his existence is threatened. The director’s mettle is clearly seen with the interval episode. The film’s script rightly blends with the repercussions that arise out of ‘Dominance’. He manages to hold the intensity from the first frame to the end.

The fight sequence between Sri Lankan Army and Manoj is ought to be the highlight of the film. In the second half, the director is successful in presenting the situations prevailing in Sri Lankan during the period in an intense, subtle and emotional manner. The dialogues can be noted for their depth. It would be interesting to see to what extent the common man connects with this film.

Manoj’s transformation from an ‘easy-go’ guy to ‘responsible’ is sure because of this film. As a hero, one can clearly note his uproar in the film. His body language, dialogue delivery and the intensity he shows in his characters is outstanding. Even the director excelled as an actor in his role. The cinematography is nothing short of sheer brilliance.

Plus Points:

Next Nuvve Movie Telugu Bullet Review and Rating

‘Next Nuvve’ Film Review

Director: Prabhakar Podakandla

Producer: Bunny Vasu

Music Director: Sai Karthik

Starring: Aadi, Vaibhavi Shandilya, Rashmi Gautam, Brahmaji

‘Next Nuvve’ released amid high expectation. The film marks the entry of V4 banner that was created by Geetha Arts, UV Creation and Studio Green production houses together.

The film introduces small screen actor Prabhakar as director. Aadhi is playing the male lead role while Vaibhavi Shandilya is the heroine. The film also features Brahmaji, Reshmi, Ravibabu and Jayaprakash Reddy in key roles

Kiran (Aadhi) is an aspiring TV serial actor. He gets into a relationship with Vaibhavi Shandilya, and they both fall in love. The typical hardships faced by Kiran restrict them from living their life to the fullest. Meanwhile, Kiran is continuously threatened by Jayaprakash Reddy for failing to repay the loans.

Kiran comes to know that, his father has an ancestral property (an old building). He plans to renovate the old building into a hotel, hoping that he can clear all his debts. He obtains money from Jayaprakash Reddy’s son for the renovation work.

With the hotel being established, Kiran and Vaibhavi hope for a better life. Kiran, Vaibhavi, Sarath (Brahmaji) and Sarath’s sister (Reshmi) enter the hotel. With time, guests staying in the hotel start dying one after another. This leaves Kiran and his friends in shock, and what follows next is the story of the film.

Analysis:

The director clearly lacks grip on the script and the subject. The director tried to instill the fear showing mysterious deaths as the backdrop. If that’s the case, the choice of the director to convey the ‘mysterious deaths’ on a comical note is highly dubious. The routine comedy is another blow to the film. The film reminds the audience that they are watching a ‘horror’ film with added comedy scenes in between. 

The whole story leads to a flashback and a climax. One will be disappointed hoping for a good climax. The flashback and climax scenes clearly fade out because of poor storytelling. Overall the film can be treated as another ‘routine horror comedy’ that lacked the content. Shakeela plays a small and a prominent role in the film.

The only breather is Reshmi, who will raise the heartbeat of the audience in her own way. Brahmaji and Ravibabu are successful in creating an entertaining comedy track. While the heroine does look good, Aadhi has shown considerable improvement in his acting. The high production values in the film clearly illustrate the class of the future films under V4. The Director in his first directorial venture clearly disappointed and needs to do some serious homework for his next film.

Positives:

  • Brahmaji and Ravibabu
  • Reshmi

Drawbacks:

  • Narration and Screenplay
  • Routine Comedy
  • Direction

Telugu Bullet Punch Line:

‘Next Nuvve’ exposes rust in direction and script work. Too routine to be remembered!

PSV Garuda Vega Movie Review by Telugu Bullet

PSV Garuda Vega 126.18M Review!

Director: Praveen Sattaru

Producer: M Koteswara Raju

Music Director: Sricharan Pakala

Starring: Rajasekhar, Pooja Kumar, Kishore, Shraddha Das, Adith Arun

The much-awaited long-time film, PSV Garuda Vega is truly rocking the theatres. The action thriller that has high-octane action sequences and adventure elements, could well be the beginning of Rajasekhar’s second innings in Tollywood. Produced on a staggering budget of 25 Crores (considering Rajasekhar’s previous film budgets), Garuda Vega has rich production values complemented with engaging screenplay and direction.

Story:

Rajasekhar plays the role of an honest NIA (National Investigation Agency) agent in the film. His commitment towards his professions badly impacts his marital life with his wife Swathi, played by Pooja Kumar. Swathi is often seen complaining about the lack of quality time the couple has been spending together.

During this time, Sekhar (Rajasekhar) is handed over a critical case. Initially, the case is said to be related to a bomb explosion when it reaches Sekhar. But with the ongoing investigation, Sekhar comes across the various chain of events that completely shadow of what was reported to him. He finds that there is a whole chain of mafic and terrorist networks linked to that ‘simple’ bomb explosion. From there, the story is all about how Sekhar was able to resolve such a complicated case, and how was he able to cope up with his marital life parallelly.

Analysis:

Though the storyline appears to be wafer thin, the way it was narrated speaks volumes about the director. The screenplay and cinematography were handled, surely leaves the audience awestruck. Right from the first action episode in Darjeeling and until the last action picturized around Charminar before the interval, Telugu audience will be spellbound, witnessing actions sequences never heard and seen in Telugu Film Industry. By the time the second half picks up its pace, the central plot of Garuda Vega is revealed, and the audience experiences a ‘random story’ for the most part. But the director, Praveen Sattaru manages to clinch the audience heartbeat with the last 20 minutes of the film. The pre-climax and climax sequences are going to be testimonials of the hard work the director and the hero have put in.

Director’snarration and screenplay complimentRajasekhar’s ‘Angry Youngman’ image on the screen. Garuda Vega surely marks the grand entry of Rajasekhar into Telugu Film Industry. Rajasekhar with his action sequences takes us back 25 years into history.He has done what all he could possibly do. Pooja Kumar, Shraddha Das, Ali, Posani Krishna Murali and others have played their roles pretty. Srinivas Raju’s decision to produce the film with Rajasekhar as hero and Praveen Sattaru as a director is clearly a gutsy move.

Plus Points:

  • Direction, Narration, and Screenplay
  • Rajasekhar and his screen presence
  • Action Sequences and Cinematography
  • Production Values

Drawback Points:

  • Slight Drag in the second half
  • Couple of Routine scenes

Telugu Bullet Punch Line:

‘Garuda Vega’ is bound to increase your heartbeats at times! Be cautious!
