Veera- Pora

When we are used to watching a person turn the ordinary into extra-ordinary, we come to expect that he/she is devoid of mediocrity and then when we actually see them being a part of mediocrity, we expect for some SUPERSTAR touch that never comes . And what of a person who has the world at his hand but then throws it all away. All this thoughts run across the mind after  watching the latest release of Ravi Teja, ‘Veera’. The fact that shines through after watching this movie is that there are scripts that even Ravi Teja can’t salvage

In the past few years Ravi Teja has been the actor that directors go to, if they want to enact the phoenix act on their careers but on the flip side, what about directors that can’t deliver a hit with him. Well we need to talk to Amma Rajashekhar, Mahesh Shankar for that. Now we can talk see that all unravelling in front of our eyes with Ramesh Varma. Amidst all this, hope can only come in the form of Ravi Teja himself. Ask Harish Shankar for further evidence

The  movie is beset with PROBLEMS with the narrative. When the portion that introduces the patriarchal part of Ravi Teja, the movie falls flat on its face as comedy is dependent on entendre and goes to show the protagonist as a sex-hungry character

Surely the movie does have its moments but they are far and flung in between to make sense of them. The best part of the movie is obviously the part where Ravi Teja and Brahmanandam come together. One just has to wonder as to how could the director throw  away the chance with such entertainers at his disposal

Ravi Teja is known to make such blunders once in a while but to actually get Kajal and Tapsee to commit similar blunders does take some effort. Ramesh Varma does need some applause for getting a group to commit blunders

One positive from this movie is the discovery of Dancing talents of Tapsee. She reminds people of Radha, the way she dances

Mr. Ramesh Varma please bide your time till Ravi Teja stumbles upon the fact that you need a life because with this kind of direction nobody else would come forward to act in your direction

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 ...

Who is Shane Watson?

There is a dialogue in the novel Atlas Shrugged , which goes like this “If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders-what would you tell him to do?" "I . . . don't know. What . . . could he do? What would you tell him?" "To shrug." You   would not be mistaken if you can put Shane Watson in the place of Atlas in the above dialogue, just that as an Australian fan you would not want him to shrug It became more apparent from yesterday's match that Watson is the premier Australian cricketer now. That's quite an achievement from where he found himself in the early and middle part's of the last decade Watson was basically hyped up as the next all-rounder for Australia as soon as he en...

Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu review

When asked his opinion on Monty Panesar, the legendary leg spinner, Shane Warne said “Monty hasn’t played 33 Tests, he has played the same Test 33 times.” Hilarious, it surely was, but it also tells us that the lack of variety can never go unnoticed. Puri Jagannadh is also treading the same path as Monty Panesar now. His movies have become monotonous. No two ways about it. Protagonist leading a normal life, rises in staure, opposes authority and finally, gets his way. This has been the standard flow in the majority of his movies. A more recent addition is the way they talk to/about women. In spite of all these blemishes, there are moments of brilliance in the movie, depending on your perspective that is. The scene where Pawan Kalyan confronts Prakash Raj on his knowledge about Telugu Thalli and the scene where he explains to Tamannah that every man is a poet in his own right are pointers to a brilliant dialogue writer hidden in the reckless director that we have come to k...
