Sekhar Kammula's Leader

One of the most awaited movies this year has to be "Leader" and the publicity is all over us now. Perhaps this is the most marketed movie of Sekhar Kammula and it carries huge expectations. Bucking the trend has been Kammula's trend till date as his previous movies clashed with the release date of a major starter always. Anand clashed with Shankardada MBBS and Happy Days clashed with Chirutha. Anand was released with a few number of prints and went on to become a sleeper hit. Godavari got a good name for Sumanth and Neetu Chandra was good in the movie. Happy Days as we all know went to achieve a cult status amongst the youth.

People are awaiting bated breath for his next movie Leader as three powerhouses come together for the movie. Even though it is a debut movie for Daggubati Rana, he has a lot of expectations to live up to only because of his pedigree. AVM productions is coming of some blockbusters in Tamil, namely, Sivaji and Ayan. Finally Sekhar Kammula can no longer be out of spotlight with his repertoire. With the movie being set for a release in the second half od December, the censor objecting to the trailer of the movie has given it the right mileage in the media. Question is, was Sekhar cheeky enough to do it ?

Enthiran

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 ...

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Ten years ago a young man gave the Hindi film industry a breath of fresh air with his ‘cult’ film Dil Chahta Hai . It was, in all senses a coming of the age movie. That young man now acts in a movie directed by his sister. The movie bears uncanny resemblance to the movie made by the man himself Starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Farhan Akhtar (in the same order as they appear in screen credits), the movie has a lot going for it. The star cast is a major plus and the biggest positive for the movie is the location that it has been shot in- Spain What starts off as a fun trip changes into one where the protagonists confront their fears and in the process we peel the layers of their personalities. Though at some places the movie seems dragged, it does the job of taking you along with the proceedings. The only complaint, if there has to be one, is the fact that the comic track that involves the boys scaring others seems a little forced. All the three actors appear in most of the scen...
