Don Seenu

"Inti peru Seenu, vonti peru don-u, abbo Amitabh Bachchan ki chala pedaa fan-uu" These dialogues uttered by Raviteja uttered in the movie Don Seenu pretty much give out the synopsis of the movie

Entertainment is defined as the action of providing amusement or enjoyment and Raviteja's movies have them in abundance and this movie too not disappoint. Right from the time he notched up his first big hit with Idiot he provides high-octane entertainment. With the prefix "Mass-Raja" attached to his name it tells us the kind of audience he endears himself to


This movie is no different from the kind of movies we are used to from Raviteja. Credit to the man that inspite of so many movies, he still manages to elicit laughter from the audience. He is one of the few heroes who can carry the entire movie on his shoulders


Coming back to the movie itself, it's one of the those movies where hero meets the heroine and fights happen and they fall in love. Shot in picturesque locales in Europe, first half is breezy and has a lot of entertaining scenes

After the proceedings shift to Hyderabad, we have some twists in the script that takes us to the climax and all is well that ends well

Scenes to watch:

The entire build-up to the entrance scene of Raviteja

The entire Europe scenes with Shriya and Anjana Sukhani, even though they seem to be contrived are brilliantly executed

The Pre-interval block was well built up

The scene between Raviteja and Brahmanandam brings the house down. Best of the lot

All the ensemble comedian cast that comes along with Raviteja is there in the movie, though a lot of them were under-utilised. For the first time in my memory, Raviteja is pairing up with Ali as his side kick and does pretty well

All in all, a hilarious watch

There was a time , when I was a Chiranjeevi fan, to an extent that I even defended his flop movies such as Rickshavodu, Big Boss and others of the same ilk. For me he was was the ultimate star- the superstar. And hearing tales of Amitabh Bachchan from my father did nothing to alter my views on Chiranjeevi's superstardom Towards the end of my graduation, that is circa 2005 in April, two movies released- Mumbai Express and Chandramukhi. I went to Mumbai Express for the first day first show and was not impressed. Rajnikanth, coming off a colossal flop called  Baba  and Chandramukhi was touted to be his comeback vehicle. Since we had nothing to do, we dragged ourselves to Chandramukhi and I was impressed with the fact that as a superstar, he allowed the female protagonist to run away with the credit Well when Sivaji released, I got to see Rajni mania first hand and what a sight it was! I was in Bangalore and there was a serpentine queue to procure the tickets. The sheer magnitude

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

BREAKING NEWS: Allu Arjun and Ravi Teja from Telugu movies make a fleeting appearance in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Doesn't matter that they appear in a TV footage in the movie From the time it was announced that Anil Kapoor would be a part of the Mission Impossible franchise, it was marked as an awaited movie in India. It was widely anticipated that he would play a major role in the movie. Though he serves as a major connecting link in the movie or rather the main reason, why the movie moves to India, he is projected as a lusting billionaire One of the very good things about the movie is its humour content. There are a lot of subtle one-liners by the guy who operates the computer and is the technical guru in the movie. The movie is about an evil mind getting his hand on nuclear warhead and the mission is to stop a full blown war between USA and Russia There are a lot of things that are interlinked in the movie. For example, at the beginning of the mission when it’s sa

Jab Harry met Sejal

  I am writing this after Shahrukh Khan came out of the box-office rut with a movie called “Pathaan”. I am writing this about a movie that contributed to the box-office rut; Jab Harry met Sejal.   What can you say about the movie that’s unsaid? It’s an Imtiaz Ali movie. It will showcase travel. It will have the protagonists mouthing philosophical dialogues about love, life and relationships. It will have the protagonists “finding themselves” during the journey.   Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma put in earnest efforts in the movie, but the movie lets them down. While I was watching the movie, the person next to me (who wasn’t even watching) asked if Anushka Sharma was playing a Gujarati in the movie. That in my eyes is Anushka Sharma nailing her bit.   The problem with the movie isn’t the premise but how the director deviates from the premise often. While it may be deliberate, it does seem that the director wants to leave his “signature”. At times, the movie does seem like
