Naa Peru Surya.. Naa Illu India.. Review

Summer heat is picking.. So is the heat at the Box office..We already have seen two movies "Rangasthalam" and "Bharath Ane Nenu" kept cash registers busy at the BoxOffice.. Now it is Allu Arjun's turn to make the score 3/3..

Naa Peru Surya marks the introduction of the writer Vakkantam Vamsi as director.. Definitely he has come up with interesting script for his debut.. And Allu Arjun lend his honest support to the director.. He just slayed in his role of angry soldier.. And he is Stylish star for a  reason.. He has got the coolest hairstyle in the flick..

Introduction sequence is terrific and sets up the right tone.. Looking at trailers and this few min.. audience might  hope for movie with the Military background.. But he showcased Military very under current and switched to social drama from then.. First half is entertaining..lighter vein and good enough .. Father and Son Bonding between Two Arjuns is real bonus here.. and this conflict gives us great Pre-interval and the Interval blocks.. Action sequences are too different and great..liked the action sequence where his training is put to use in real time scenario.. Anu Emaunel is cute enough.. Rao Ramesh and Boman Irani gets decent space in this half..

Second half too wont have many hiccups.. Audience too will be equally anxious whether Surya could win the challenge .. Under currently Patriotic message drives us towards the Pre climax and to the Climax.. Sai Kumar shines in this half.. Sarath Kumar, Thakur Anoop Sing gets meatier roles in this half

Seeing Promos and posters one would expect a pure patriotic movie.. But director showed us regular commercial movie with right ingredients.. This might make us feel cheated if expect other way around.. In one of the scenes there is double intended dialogue about Border.. Thought that should not have been there in first place when you are making a movie on Patriotism..

On the whole .. it is well packaged movie.. just when you feel it is getting routine.. director makes sure he blends in good dialogues.. a fight or a song.. Liked the songs and how they are pictured.. 

60/100

Bharath Ane Nenu Review

I see the real summer movie mania in Tollywood, watching such a well made movies from current Megastars and Superstars.. It's just couple of weeks back Ramcharan has delivered his careers landmark in performance and Collections.. Now it is Superstar Maheshbabu's turn to clean bowl us with his brilliance ... Just loved this movie.. So sharing my thoughts what made me like this movie so much..

Bharath Ane Nenu takes a leaf each from Sekhar Kammula's Leader and Shankers Oke Okkadu.. But Siva Koratala brings his own natural style to it.. I see more reality and ground nature in Bharath Ane Nenu..  Of Course an ideal political  leader is fantasy.. So are the movies.. What if a CM be like Bharath . He lives up to promises he made in his Oath and he even expects the same from the people.. Koratala balances the good and bad in simple way rather than showing more vulgarity and bloodshed .. Tells a message what if this kind of Good things happen.. What if a CM is so sincere.. 

Things in society wont change by watching a movie.. But if Good things are shown on screen continuously .. it slowly gets into our mind and Siva does that so effectively..

Mahesh gets younger by each movie.. See the first song. "I Don't know" He slams the handsomeness. Give him a honestly written role.. he portrays it to perfection.. Be it the Press meet scene when he shouts "I am not done yet".. Be it Assembly scenes and cabinet scenes.. where he mixes perfectly he is NRI slang and local slang reminding the roots of the role.. He touches the hearts when he visits the villages and the audiences truly sing in their mind "Vachadayya Saami" .. 

Casting is superb .. Prakashraj does the role he did 234 times yet in unquestionable way.. Ministers Posani, Ravi Kumar, Jeeva and of course Jayalalitha as speaker all were good . Rao Ramesh, Brahmaji are excellent.. Kiara Advani is simple and beautiful.. Devi has given brilliant BGM and excellent situational songs.. he lost his midas touch in duets .. Visuals are very rich...

Not so many weaknesses I see .. But Koratala does things in simple way and he cannot put in that Rajamouli style Goosebumps.. But thats fine..

Finally loved the movie very much.. I think it wold be unstoppable mania again at box office..

"Chakri Ane Nenu" raasina review chadivinanduku thanks..

JaiSimha Movie review


Usually Sankranthi season works out very well for Balakrishna.. Somehow this time expectations are very less on #JaiSimha ..due to trailers and competition.. and the director KS Ravi ravi kumar who delivered movies like Narasimha is not in that form now..

But I was pleasantly surprised.. JaiSimha begins with a hospital scene in rain affect hinting there would be serious story ahead.. Balakrishna's entrance in Train station is so well done with slight elevation..In the first half Kumbakonam brahmins scene came out very well with exceptional dialogues.. Flow in this half is very smooth as things are connected very well for the conflict between the ASP, #baahubali prabhaker and the Balayya.. Good to see in Brahmanandam after long time, even though it is very regular role for him.. Murali mohan , LB Sreeram excel in this half.. #Ammakutti song is getting whistles from the masses..Interval fight is done well and the twist at the interval leaves a puzzle in the story..

Second half begins with bang in Vizag with young politician's insult on RK Beach road.. But there is drag here in scenes between Nayanathara and Balayya and Haripriya.. A tough triangle love story for hero of that age.. But in order to execute the sentiment, director KS Ravikumar has firmly showed what he has to for the later scenes.. Songs are also not very well here..

Again it picks up well by final scene in the flashback and Climax fight is shot well.. I liked that shot where two villains killed in one act. Then Again Director plans for that final sentimental twist at the end to justify the sacrifice at next level.. Well done.. Prakashraj, nayanathara, Haripriya, sivaji raja , Asutosh Rana all did well here.. Chirantan Bhatt's BGM is good..

I liked the way the content is driven and equally make the masses happy.. Overall good watch for Balayya fans and families ..
