MIDDLE CLASS MELODIES. Movie Review

"MIDDLE CLASS MELODIES"           (Released Now In Amazon Prime..)

Casting.. Anand Devarakonda, Varsha Bollamna 

Music by. Sweekar Agasthi.
Production Company. Bhavya Creations.
Director.. Vinod Ananthoju 

"An Avg Middle class drama with a Simple Story telling"

1st half is ok.. 2nd half is some what weak..Actually the Pre interval 20 min of the film is interesting.. Aa 20 min Chusi, Ikkada nundi Cinema ni inka Next level ki teesukuveltademo anukunnanu. But he didn't do that.. Actually there are no ups in the Script..There are no Exciting elements..Almost Cinema mottam oke graph lo veltu untundi.Ala vellinappudu Audience excite avvaru..Cinema mottam Bombay chutney, Bombay chutney tho ne gadipesadu.. Actually there is a conflict, but how Hero comes out of it is not that much interesting..2nd half should have been better..The point is very simple.. Love scenes should have been better..There is a Scope for Love scenes but they didn't use it..Hero friend and Divya darshini Love track is good.. It is simple and interesting.. Hero Heroine Love track kante kuda ade baavundi..But there is no bore feel..Time waste ane feeling raaledu.. Just konchem Time pass..Actually I felt some Similarities of PELLI CHOOPULU.. (Akkada food truck, Ikkada hotel. Hero & father relation etc..) Actually Director should have gone for a commercial presentation in 2nd half..He Didn't go for that..

Story is simple..Screenplay should have been better..Story telling should have been intresting..Dialogues are So so..Unwanted Cuss words are there..Liked the dialogues "Nenu Puttina date nachaledanta" "Cheepiri katta tiragesi kodatha". Photography is ok.. He did in a simple manner..Editing is ok.. Guntur song is good.. That song lyrics are good..A special mention to the background score.. Really background score is Superb..it is in Next level.. Assalu emi leni Scenes ni kuda background score tho elevate chesadu..Assalu konni scenes background score lekapothe nothing..Background score is the Saviour for Majority portion of the Movie..Costumes are Natural.. Art Direction is so so..Direction is ok..Done in a limited budget.. Anand Devarakonda is So so..He is ok.. He should improve his dialogue diction..Cinema lo characters anni Swachamina Guntur slang lo maatladutu untayi.. Hero maatram Hyderabad slang Telugu lo matladtu untadu.. Non synch lo untadi adi.. Heroine is so so.. Her performance is ok..Hero father is Super.. His character is good..His performance is good.. Hero friend is ok.. Divya darshini is good.. Remaining characters are ok..

Postives
*Background score
*Pre interval 20 min
*Hero friend-Divya darshini Love track.

Negatives
*Simple point
*lack of exciting elements
*flat narration
Overall Movie is Avg..

Casting. Arjun Das, Vinod Kishan,
              Pooja Ramachandran,
              Misha Ghoshal,Jeeva Ravi.

Music Director. V Pradeep Kumar,
Producer..  K Poorna Chandra. 
Director...  V . Vignarajan .

Released. Nov 24th 2020.


      "A boring horror thriller with a confused Story telling"
1st half half & 2nd half entire film is Confusing..
First of all I should say about the Posters & Trailers of the Movie..I am Mad of this Movie posters..Recent times lo India lo Top 5 Posters lo Ee Movie posters okati ani cheppochu..

       And Another Main reason which I showed interest to watch this Movie is ATLEE.. He is the Producer of this Movie.. Oka Director, Adi kuda Mana age group person Produce Chestunnadu ante,I expected alot..

Coming to this Movie..
if you want to watch this film You need Lot of Patience.. Patience ante Alaanti ilaanti Patience kadu..I took 5 breaks and 4 hours Time to complete this Movie..(Theatre lo ayithe lechi vellipotaru)..
In this Movie Confusion dominated everything.. He thought that he is holding the Suspense, but the thing is, it is very confusing and solving the puzzle kind of thing..Mystery confusion dominated the What next element..Another biggest biggest Minus is the duration..Nearly 2 hours 51 min(Nearly 3 hours)..If you wait for 2 and half hours then You will know the reason.. But you should be able to sit for 2 & half hours..Appati varaku interest ga unna parledu,but there is no interest at all..Director followed Parrellel narration Screenplay technique.. Here I want to mention one Movie Name MADHA..which was released in March,which got more than 25 awards,but it was a disaster..That Movie & this Movie has many 
Similarities..The same mistake has been done by the both Directors..Same Story telling..Two persons destinations are different, but paths are same..
Story is So so..Screenplay should have been in a simplified manner..This is not a dialogue oriented Movie..Photography is Extraordinary.. I think one of the Best Photography of this Year..Photography maatram Chimpesadu..Naaku telsi Ee year lo Ee Cinema kante better Photography ayithe chudaledu anukunta..I thought I have given My 4 hours Time for Photography only..Costumes are Natural.. Art Direction is good..Editing is okay..But duration wise it is very bad..Ide Script ni crisp ga 2 hours lo cheppochu, Cheppali..Background score is good..A very special mention to Sound Mixing.. It is really good and it is in Next level..Direction is good.. He has good command in Making.. Oka Manchi Script ki Ee Photography, Making padithe inka Next level anthe..Production values are good..Both Heroes are good. I don't know the names..Pooja Ramachandran is good.. Except her there is no familiar face for our Telugu audience..The guy who did as Psychiatrist is also good..

. Positives.
*Photography
*Posters
*Casting
*Sound Mixing(Biggest plus) 

Negatives
*Story telling
*Very slow narration
*Duration(Nearly 3 hours.. I think Lengthy Movie in OTT releases)

Overall Movie is Confusing & boring.. Theatre lo release ayyi unte daarunam ga undedi result..
Finally ATLEE ki Ee Cinema ni Produce cheyali ani Enduku anipinchindo Naaku Ardham kaledu..I am disappointed..

AMMORU THALLI. Movie Review

AMMORU THALLI.                          (Released today in Hotstar)

 Casting.. Nayanthara,  R J  Balaji 
                  Yogi Babu.
Music Director. Girishh G
Producer.. Ishari K Ganesh.
Directors. R J Balaji, N J Saravanan.

      "A So so fantasy drama with an Artificial kind of Story telling"

       The reason for watching this Movie is, I read that Disney hotstar has bought this Movie rights for 21 crores..Assalu emi Chusi 21 crores ki Ee Cinema konnaro ani chusanu..

1st half & 2nd half entire film is very Artificial.. Artificial ani enduku annanu ante, Not even a single scene is in Convincing manner(for Me personally).. Recently In this Lockdown period, I have seen a Movie OH MY KADAVULE,(Which I mentioned in My review its A MUST WATCH) which is a same kind of genre and a Master piece of Story telling.. OH MY GOD & PK these are all of same genres.. But I connected to that Movies alot,Because Screenplay will be in next level in that Movies.. They will be in a convincable way.. Here it is completely Missing..The Story telling is very artificial..Family back Story is boring.. Tamil audiences may enjoy it. But not Telugu audience..There is no Screenplay interest..There is no WHAT NEXT Element..Devatha vachi idantha chestundi ante, I didn't connect..

Story is So so.. Screenplay is uninteresting.. This is not a dialogue oriented Movie..Climax Nayanatara dialogues are good..Photography is okay..Costumes are So so..Art Direction is so so..Editing is so so..Songs are So so.. Background score is good.. Direction is ok.. They went for Commercial presentation..Nayanatara is good as Goddess.. RJ Balaji is good..His performance is good.. These are the 2 people who brought Craze for this Project.. As RJ Balaji is from Media background, he is very active in publicity. The way he promoted the Movie is Super.. Urvashi is good.. The girls who did as Sisters are ok.. Ajay ghosh is ok.. Remaining artists are ok..

Postives
*Nayanatara
*RJ Balaji
*Background score
*Publicity(biggest plus) 

Negatives
*Artificial Story telling
*Screenplay

Overall Screenplay should have been interesting..Tamil audience may enjoy in parts..But not Telugu audience..

Overall Movie is So so.

MAA VINTHA GAADHA VINUMA " Tollywood Movie Review...

"MAA VINTHA GAADHA VINUMA " 
Tollywood Movie Review...

(Released Now in AHA) 


"A So so Romantic drama with a good point and an uninteresting presentation"
1st half & 2nd half entire film is slow.. Actually Ee Cinema lu mottam oka Seperate batch kosame teestunnattu unnadi.. "YO YO BATCH".. Foriegn lo unde konthamandi, India lo unde Posh audience, veella kosam teese Cinema lu.. Assalu enduku ilaanti Presentation tho Kathalu cheptaro kuda Ardham kadu.. I am not Commenting, Ee Cinema lu theatre lo vesthe Share lu kuda raavu..

Flashback lo flashback la open chesadu Movie ni.. Direct ga Hero meeda open chesi, Tanikella bharani ki narrate chestunnattu open cheyalsindi.. The flashback narration style reminds us Ala Modalaindi & Geetha Govindam..
The basic Story idea is simple and good..But the Conflict and solving that problem should have been better..Actually first half Love scenes and play should have been better..Actually the way of Hero narrating the flashback is good..
Story is simple.. Screenplay should have been better.. Dialogues are So so..Liked the dialogues "Chinnappudu Bendakaya tinte Maths vastundi Ani chepparu kani, Ammayi ki I Love you chepthe pause untundi Ani cheppaledu"
"Idi drink & drive kadu.. Drink with drive"
Photography is ok.. Songs are so so.. Editing is Super..I liked the Editing of this Movie.. Though they have used more effects, but they tried to present newly..Of course scenes lo vishayam leka ala ayyayi.. Scenes lo vishayam undi unte Aa editor POV presentation ki next level lo undedi..Background score is ok.. 

Costumes are good.. Art Direction is ok..Direction is ok.. There are many wrong looks & suggestions.. Done in a limited budget..Sidhu is ok..His performance is ok..But his Script selection is very limited to some sector of audiences only.. Urgent ga Athanu Script selection maarchukovali.. Majority of audience ki connect ayyela chusukovali..Special mention for his Editing.He is also one of the Editor for this Movie..Seerat is ok.. Actually her hair style is her biggest plus.. But Ee Cinema lo Aa hair style ye maarchesaru.. Tanikella bharani is ok.. Remaining artists are ok..

Postives
*Editing
*Basic idea.

Negatives
*Story telling
*Reachablity to very limited audiences
Overall Movie is So so..

final punch :

LAXMMI BOMB Bollywood Movie Review.....

LAXMMI BOMB     Bollywood Movie Review.....

(official remake of KANCHANA  Tamil Movie. Released in Hotstar)

Casting.   Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani,
                 Tussar Kapoor, Sharad Kelker,
                 Tarun Arora.

Producers. Shabinaa Khan, Tussar Kapoor.
Director. Raghava Lawrence.
                  
"A So so Horror drama which Missed the Original emotion"

Except flashback content 1st half and 2nd half entire film is boring..When Akshay kumar is doing this Movie, I thought he is doing the flashback Sharat kumar character..Actually I thought he has chosen this film only for that Character..I thought he played a dual role both Sharat kumar & Lawrance characters..But biggest disappointment for Me is,Akshay not playing the role of LAXMII..I was into disconnect mode..Actually the guy who played that role did an okay job..But if Akshay did that character, Undoubtedly that would have been a saving factor for this Movie..Actually the Original film has a beautiful emotion..Here it is Missing.. KANCHANA is One of the Best Script Writing(talking about only flash back episode) in Indian Cinema..Director Shankar range point adi..Emotion worked out very well..flashback episode is the paying element..But here it is Missing..Some changes are good..But Some changes are forced..Comedy element didn't pay..The horror element is not at all effective..I still remember the night when I watched KANCHANA on first day..I couldn't sleep because of that horror element..(As I was some what scared of horror movies).. But here the horror element is in childish way..Chinna pillalu kuda bhayapadaru.. Correct dialogue is "Pakka ki velli Aadukomma" Ala undi horror element..

Story(Original) is good..Screenplay is not effective.. This is not a dialogue oriented Movie.. Photography is good.. Some lighting schemes are good..Songs are good..2 songs picturisation is good..Background score is ok in some parts, but not that much effective in some parts..Actually original version background score will be next level..(Aa Aa Aaa aaaa ane humming vasthe ne Theatre lo Whistles, Keka lu.. I think everyone remember that humming)..Editing is ok..Direction is ok in some parts but not effective in Horror scenes..Emotional content presentation is ok..Production values are ok.. Given a good budhet..
Akshay kumar is ok..The guy who did as LAXMII is ok.. Kiara has a limited role..Remaining artists are ok..

Positives
*flashback episode.

Negatives
*Direct OTT release(Biggest Minus for this Movie)
*Akshay not doing the Title role LAXMII
*forced comedy
*Silly horror presentation
*2 songs.

And lastly I want to say, Direct OTT release is the biggest Minus for this Movie..
OTT audience will not like this Movie.. But if they released directly in the theatres. B, C centres audiences would have watched it for the flash back episode and some horror elements..(Like Hindi SAAHO)..Definitely Ee result ayithe raadu..Ala ani hit avuddi ani cheppanu..
Definitely it would have a better result than this..
Overall Movie is not upto the mark..
final punch
"SILENT BOMB"

           Poojitha Kuraprthi
           
Producer. Bhargava Poludasu.
Music.      Sai Charan pakala.
Director.    Kiran Kondamadugu.

"An Avg thriller with good Story telling and lack of some commercial presentation"
1st half is so so.. 2nd half is interesting..I think the interval bang is at 40th minute..I think they have trimmed it..first half an hour of the film is slow, Then it picked up.. The twists are good.. Story telling is good..The minus point is the content is Raw.. Majority of audiences may not connect.. There is no change over.. Konchem Commercial values add chesi unte, I mean change over majority of audiences connect ayye Vallu..
Story is ok.. Screenplay is good..Naaku Story telling Nachindi.. This is not a dialogue oriented Movie..Photography is good(Ee budget ki) .. Locations are good..Editing is ok..Direction is ok..Liked the opening shot of the Movie..There are no Hero and Heroines..only characters..The guy who did the main lead imitated Vijay Devarakonda voice.. Kaavalani dubbing ala cheppinattu undi..Heroine(Meera character) is ok..The guy who did as father is ok..They have done in a very compact budget.. Shot entirely in abroad..I think mottam foriegn batch anukunta..Bad luck for this movie is there is no publicity and artists padding..Ide Movie oka Manchi production house support tho, inkonchem familiar artists tho chesi unte, Next level lo undedi..Ee artists baga cheyaledu ani Nenu cheppatledu..They gave their best.. No fault on their Side.. Aa budget ki vallu chalu..finally this Movie is far better than the Telugu movies released in lockdown period..

Positives.
*Story telling
*Twists
*Photography & Locations(Ee budget ki) 
*Making(ok)

Negatives.
*Publicity (Ee Cinema undi ani Entha mandiki telsu)
*Rawness
*No change over..
*lack of commerciality
Overall Movie is okay.. Happily you can watch it on OTT..

-MISS INDIA-   Tollywood Movie Review.

Cast. Keerthy Suresh
          Badhiya.
          Japathi Babu.
           Naveen Chandra.
           Rajendra Prasad.

Music Director. S. Thaman 
Producer.  Mahesh K Koneru.
Director.    Narendra Nath

"A boring  drama with an uninteresting narration"

1st half & 2nd half entire film is boring..I didn't connect to any portion of the Movie.. 

The basic plot is old.. For these type of Movies, Story telling should be very interesting.. Because The plot itself is predictable, And for the way he opened the Movie,Screenplay should be interesting..Here it is completely Missing..
There is no Screenplay interest at all..Lucky draw scene is good,I don't want to reveal the scene..The only scene which I liked..That scene is good..(Theatres lo Whistles scene adi maatram)..The narration is slow.. There are no Exciting elements..

Story is old..                                    Screenplay is uninteresting..                Some dialogues are good..                    Liked the dialogues.

"Goppatanam anedi oka lakshanam.. Adi okaru gurtinchatam Valla raadu.. Okaru gurtinchakapovatam Valla podu"
"Coffee is not My cup of tea"
"Risk cheyanade success raadu.. Vachina nilabadadu"
"Naa Life oka question mark la undali anukunnanu kani, example la undali anukoledu"
"If you won't built your dreams, Someone will hire you build their dreams"
" Naa Life lo Hero avvatam kosam, Entha mandi life lo ayina Villian avvataniki Nenu ready"

Photography is Super.. It is the biggest plus for the Movie.. He tried to bring a different colour for the Movie..Costumes are good..Art Direction is good.. Majority portion of the Movie lo Camera work and Art Direction ye kanipinchayi..Shreya ghoshal song is good.. That song lyrics are also good.. Remaining songs are so so.. Background score is good..Editing is ok..Direction is ok.. I liked the symbolic shots of glass falling on the ground.. And filling the glass with Tea..And there are some wrong looks.. The very first shot of Heroine introduction is a Wrong look..(Common Man ki avasarledu, but mention chesanu)..

Production values are good.. This Director is Lucky, that he got a good budget from production house..There is a Strong Cast, Locations, budget, Technicians.. But There is no Proper Script which is more important than all these..They should have chosen a Proper Script..Keerthi Suresh is good.. But previous charm is missing in her face..Jagapathi babu is ok..Heroine friends are ok.. Naveen chandra and one more guy are so so..

Positives
*Photography
*Art Direction
*Costumes
*Some dialogues
*Keerthi Suresh

Negatives
*Story 
*Story telling
Overall Movie is boring... 
My rating 
"2.25"

Sequels of Hollywood movies...

   There are some movies in Hollywood that have attaiend a cult status. Owing to their excellent direction, cast and storylines. There success has been so inspiring that the makers decided to make sequels to the iconic originals. However, the sequel s failed to Stoke the intrested of the masses and didn't quite live up to thair expectations.

 Bambi 2.
 Bambi, released in 1942, was one of the most iconic animated drama movies from Disney's stable. It's sequel Bambi 2, released 64 years after the sequel, fell seriously short of the original. It was described by critics as being an  "Unremarkable sequel" having a "heart warming story line". 

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Even though the movie opened to decent box office numbers, it didn’t quite live up to the hype and expectations that originated after the first movie in the series. The film was considered to be more entertaining but failed to find a deeper resonance.

Mean Girls 2.

    Sequel to the "refreshingly honest" 2004 hit film Mean Girls 2. Mean Girls 2 was trashed by critics as being a thinly-veiled, low-budget copy. The film left the Box office without a trace and is a forgettable affair that most of us have forgotten all about.
