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 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
