My take on Magadheera [movie review]

August 14, 2009

It’s been a while the much awaited (?) movie ‘Magadheera’ is out and we have numerous reviews online. So, my attempt here is not to review the movie in general (may be a little!) but the reviews themselves (more!). We watched it in Prasads, one of the best screens available of course including the sound [...]

Oy! Did it come out right?

July 13, 2009

I’ve listened to the music for a couple of weeks continuously before watching the movie and I love it. I had huge expectations for the movie I based on the quality of the music. While, loving the music has helped me enjoy the experience, the expectations were too high I guess, or the movie itself [...]

Current – movie review

June 23, 2009

A typical love story with not so good screenplay. First half went kinda okay with a comedy bit here and there. But second half seemed too long with very slow story movement and quite boring in some instances. There is no consistent comedy to at least keep the audiences gripped. Brahmanandam enters the scenes just [...]

Boni – not a very good start

June 15, 2009

In one phrase- not worth watching. The only aspect of the movie which was not very disappointing is music. It’s not great but few tracks are good. And as it is well known, Ramana Gogula reads lines between songs (or is that rap?) which wasn’t very awkward in here. Or did I feel that way [...]

Prayanam – mild entertainer [movie review]

June 8, 2009

Prayanam is a mild entertainer. I wasn’t bored at any point in the movie. But, there isn’t anything that caught my attention either. It has a typical storyline that ‘just happens in movies’. It’s a love at first sight theme, that takes place in airport while awaiting departures. Hero falls in love with the girl [...]

Pista – movie review

June 1, 2009

Yet another Vishal’s movie. Well, almost. The first half was very good with nice comedy and clear storyline. The second half is a little cluttered; if all the story threads were just concluded instead of starting new ones, I would have remembered the complete plot of the movie now. Actually the second half is what [...]

KICK – movie review

May 24, 2009

This is one of those movies I call ‘complete entertainer’. Believe me it’s not easy to maintain the comedy tempo from the beginning to the end. While romance/ love/ violence can be the backbone of the movie and made obvious in every frame, I think comedy isn’t very easy to deal with – and this [...]

Billa – Telugu

April 14, 2009

After missing once, we were better prepared this time. We had all morning available- perfect for a morning show. We reached there in time, confirmed it’s the right movie and were in queue for tickets. No reservations or ‘advance bookings’ available. ‘Samajika nyayam’ (meaning- all are equally idiots) is their motto probably! Anyway, it took [...]

Akashamantha!

April 13, 2009

Antha ledu! I had to watch this movie in Khammam last week. We were in fact hoping to watch ‘Billa’ (review tomorrow) but ended up in this movie. We weren’t sure of the theaters and apparently sometimes newspapers have incorrect information (‘Sakshi’ was the only one available at the hotel). Well, coming to the movie- [...]

Dasavatharam – Director not included

July 30, 2008

Though a little late – I got a chance to watch the move sometime last month. To sum up – I liked it! The first 10-15 minutes was very powerful. I wish the complete movie was in the same lines. Except few boring scenes with the ‘longman’ role and stuff here and there, it was [...]
