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

Earlier there were reports that the story for NTR- Trivikram film was taken from a detective novel. Now, there is an official confirmation in this regard.

Recently, the famous detective novelist, Madhu Babu, gave an exclusive interview, disclosed that he is the one who provided a story for NTR-Trivikram film. Though he did not go deep into disclosing about whether he penned a new story altogether, or adapted one of his earlier novels. Not giving much scope to speculations, he said it may a story based on the thriller. He did not, however, mention anything about the genre. We can expect Trivikram’s trademark humor and family emotions in the film.

For those, who know the least of this novelist, he is Madhu Babu, one of the most popular and senior novelists. In fact, he is famous for his successful detective novels he wrote with the eponymous lead character, ‘Shadow.’

Similarly, this is a good news as Trivikram took a break from his routine family drama entertainers. Finally, this comes as a relief, with the movie taken from  an Indian writer, and not copied from any foreign filmmaker.

The film’s regular shoot will start from the third week of March.

Written and directed by Venky Kudumula, starring Naga Shourya and Rashmika Mandanna, ‘Chalo’ released to positive to mixed reviews on February 2nd, 2018. The movie competed with Ravi Teja starrer ‘Touch Chesi Chudu’ at the box office. Thanks to its clean comedy, the movie has been seeing good turnouts even on weekdays.

‘Touch Chesi Chudu’ failed to touch ‘Chalo’ movie’s collections. Sparkling chemistry between the lead pair, comedy and simple script helped the movie. The film was an instant hit in the US. Chalo collections surpassed Jyo Achyutananda, making it the biggest grosser in Naga Shourya’s career.

Is Mega Star completely detached from politics?

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

As we all know, Mega Star Chiranjeevi who reigned Tollywood for decades has made his entry into politics with Praja Rajyam and later merged in the Congress party.

Chiranjeevi has an unprecedented craze and following in the masses even today as a film actor but he failed to garner that image in the political sphere. The people of Andhra who has been sidelined by the BJP for their personal agenda in the Union Budget has started agitations across the state. The agitations from the last two days have taken a new turn and even the faded out politicians have come up to raise their voice. But being a member of Rajya Sabha, Chiranjeevi has not given a single statement regarding the injustice done to the people of the state. His brother Pawan Kalyan who has floated Janasena party has been working restlessly and also initiated to form a JAC to solve the issues of A.P. All the parties has raised their voices regarding the injustice done by BJP and the Congress and communist parties as well has become active.

All the M.P’s are protesting in their means for the justice to the state and Chiranjeevi being a member of Rajya Sabha has not even attended the house. After making his re-entry in films, he is not at all showing any interest in politics. As of now, he is currently preparing for his upcoming film Sye Raa. This clearly indicates that Mega Star is completely detached from politics.

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’.

Rating: 1.25/5

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

Gayatri Movie Review and Rating

Gayathri Review

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

Movie Name: Gayatri
Actors: Mohan Babu, Manchu Vishnu, Shriya Saran, Brahmanandam
Director: R.R. Madan
Writer: Diamond Ratna Babu
Music Director: S. Thaman
Producer: Mohan Babu

Mohan Babu is regarded as one of the finest actors in Telugu cinema. After a long time, the actor is coming back with the movie ‘Gayathri’. Right from the movie’s promos, the film was hailed by Mohan Babu. The trailers further increased the expectations on the film. Gayathri released today alongside Sai Dharam Tej’s ‘Intelligent’. Let us take a look whether Gayathri lived up to its promise or not.

Story:

Dasari Sivaji (Mohan Babu) is a stage artist by profession. He runs a small orphanage home for kids at his premises. In order to keep the orphanage home running, he goes to jail in the place of real criminals and gets paid for it. The reason for him to an orphanage for kids is, he comes to know that his daughter is also being raised in an orphanage. But Sivaji does not know who is his daughter, and in which orphanage is she living. By the time he comes to know about his daughter, she starts hating him. At this juncture, Sivaji is kidnapped. And he is also facing a death sentence in a case. Gayathri Patel (Mohan Babu) threatens that he would kill Sivaji’s daughter. Why is Gayathri Patel taking revenge on Sivaji? What led to the fight between both of them? What happens to Sivaji’s life? To know the answers, watch the movie in theatres.

Analysis:

The core points; father-daughter sentiment, and the concept of look-alike are strong, the plot around it is pretty week. Given the advancement of technology, there is no way that someone could fool the law enforcement authorities, and replace a criminal with minimal makeup effects. Even taken granted, in that case, the director fails to come up with a logical answer. This set back puts off the spectator throughout the film, and hardly impresses him.

The film did have some interesting twists. But the director failed to represent them on the screen with effect. Don’t blame us, if you recollect movies in the 19080s and 1990s. It looks like Mohan Babu’s fondness towards Father-Daughter sentiment might continue for another decade. His films ‘Khaidi Garu’, ‘Rayudu’ and now ‘Gayathri’ belong to the same genre.

Initially, Mohan Babu’s screen presence, dialogue diction might cover-up the weak story and screenplay. But, as the story moved on, even Mohan Babu couldn’t save it. Manchu Vishnu reprised the younger version of Sivaji quite well. But his addition to the movie doesn’t many any sense. Shreya, Nikhila Vimal (as Sivaji’s daughter), Anasuya, Ali and Brahmanandam have done justice to their roles.

Few sections of the audience can take a jibe at few dialogues in the movie. Especially dialogues targeting and referring Chandrababu’s comments might cause a stir among some fringe groups. Frankly, the absence of such dialogues wouldn’t have made much difference to the film. It is hard to believe that Madan, who wrote a story for ‘Aa Naluguru’ and directed ‘Pellaina Kotthalo’ came up with this kind of a film.

Plus Points:

Mohan Babu, Shreya, Nikhila Vimal performances

Dialogues

Drawbacks:

Run-of-the-mill story

Direction and Screenplay

Telugu Bullet Punchline: Even Three Mohan Babu’s couldn’t have saved Gayathri!

Rating: 2.5/5
