"CHECK" Movie Review

-CHECK- "A different jail drama with a thriller kind of presentation"

Casting. Nithin, Rakul Preet Singh,

                Priya prakash variyar , Sampath Raj.

Producer. Anand Prasad V

Director . Chandra Sekhar Yelleti.

1st half is okay.. 2nd half has been some what dropped.. Actually first 30 min of the film is little bit slow and I got a lagged feel. After that the Movie picked up..Pre interval 15 min bang is good..it is the highlight of the Movie..I enjoyed it.. 2nd half first 20 min is okay then the scenes have been repeated..Actually first half lo Oka manchi Love track pettukuni, Interval bang ki Hero arrest ayithe, 2nd half drive bore feel lekunda, Ekkada repeated feel lekunda drive vellipoyedi(My personal opinion).. And one more thing is, The same kind of film watched last week NAANDHI..Nithin-Allari Naresh, Rakul-Varalakshmi.. Sampath-Harish uttaman.. Just recent ga chudatam tho Aa characters ye kanipinchayi..Climax twist is okay..but it is improper..There is no completeness in it..

I liked the color and presentation of the Movie..Connecting the chess game to the Story is okay..I liked the way how Director explained the chess game especially why Horses,elephants will be there in Chess and why lions and tigers Will not be there.. 

Story is okay..Screenplay is good in parts..Dialogues are goods..Liked the dialogues

"Gatham Prastutaanni, Prastutam Bhavishyattu ni nirnayistundi" 

"Kallu Abaddanni chusthe, Nijaanni entha gattiga arichina chevulu vinavu" "Yuddham modalu pettede Sipaayi"

"Veliguniche kallu Naa kallu mundu untanu ante kaadantaana??"

"Devudu kuda avasaranni batti Avataraanni maarchestadu"

Photography is good..Some lighting schemes are good.. Costumes are okay..they are natural..Art Direction is beautiful.. It is the highlight of the Movie..Especially the jail set is Super..Editing is good..Only one song..Background score is Super..He elevated some scenes Properly..Direction is good..Chandra sekhar yeleti is a good Director no doubt in it, But he should tell the Story commercially that is his minus point..B, C centres audience will not connect to his Movies at all..That is why they will not pay commercially.In this Movie he tried for some commercial elements but only upto some extent..

Production values are good..

Nithin is good, his performance is good..Rakul is okay.. Her performance is okay..Priya Prakash varrier has a limited screen presence..Sai chand is good.. He got a good and important character..Sampath is okay.. Remaining artists are okay.. Casting is good.. 

Positives

*Art Direction

*Background score

*Direction

*Nithiin

Negatives

*Only for limited audience

*first half an hour

*incomplete ending.. 

Overall Movie is Avg.. Multiplex & A centres Movie..Openings are just Avg..We should see how it collects Commercially..

"UPPENA," Movie Review

"UPPENA "                    An emotional Love drama which is a Telugu version of SAIRAT"

A small film which got lot of hype in recent times..

"definition of Craze"

Coming to the Movie.

Casting. Vaishnav Tej, Advaitha, Vijay Sethupathi.

Music Director. Devi Sri Prasad

Production. Mithri movies.

Director. Buchibabu .

1st half is okay..2nd half has been dropped..The climax is a heart touching one.. Actually the entire Movie is like a Telugu version of SAIRATSAIRAT(Marathi blockbuster..Bahubali range blockbuster Aa Movie budget ki)..Naaku Cinema chustunantha sepu Aa movie ye gurtochindi..And it has RANGASTHALAM flavour also.. 

The first 15 min of the Movie is little bit slow, then it picked up. Actually the Story is old.. But the Love scenes are good.. Especially Hero beating heroines Cousin scene and Hero giving lift to Heroine. Actually these are the scenes which should be seen in single screens..(Mamulu response kadu Aa scenes ki)..Some missing feel in interval..But on a whole first half is okay..2nd half has been dropped.. Actually we have seen many movies of this type.. Recently DORASANI, COLOR PHOTO(Aa movies ki kuda SAIRAT Ye inspiration).. Of course there are many movies on this point.. 

Story is old.. Screenplay is okay.. Love scenes are good.. Dialogues are okay.. Liked the dialogues 

"Mana iddari madya Prema endukani daanni pakkana pettesanu.. Love you I"(My favorite scene and dialogue Ee Movie lo).. 

"Unnattu undi peddodni ayipovalanipustundi. Ee pilla Premalo padataniki ayina, Ee pilla Prema kosam chaavataniki ayina"

"Okka sari meeda padi venakki vellataniki idi Samudram anukuntunnara, Prabhutvam.. Teesukellipotadi"

"Aada pilla haddu daatindani, illu daatakudadu ante chesukune vadu Mana vadu ayyi undali".. 

Photography is good.. Some lighting schemes are good.. Locations helped alot for DOP.. Costumes are natural..Art Direction is good..Editing is good..Music is the biggest biggest plus for the Movie.. After Ala Vaikuntapuram lo this is the Movie, Where all songs are blockbuster..Assalu Ee Cinemaki Craze start ayyinde songs tho.. Every song is beautiful..Background score is good..Fights are okay..Direction is okay..he has good command on Love scenes..Love scenes ni super ga handle chesadu.But I should mention one thing here, I think he is the Luckiest debut Director in this decade.. Ee Hero, Heroine, Music Director, technicians, Intha budget pette Producers.. Mamulu lucky kadu.. 

Production values are good..Should appreciate them for investing this much budget on debutants..

Vaishnav Tej is good.. His performance is good.. Heroine is beautiful.. Ee Cinemaki intha Craze raavataniki, She is also one of the main reason..Vijay sethupathi is Super.. His performance is ultimate.. The scene(I Will not reveal the scene)where he removes the curry leaf from the food is ultimate..

Remaining artists are good.. Casting is good..

Positives

*Music(Biggest biggest plus) 

*Hero

*Heroine(Biggest plus) 

*Vijay sethupathi

*Photography

*Love scenes.

Negatives

*2nd half

*Climax(personally I don't like such endings) 

Finally it has some good Music and Love scenes..we should see how Telugu Audiences accept this Climax..

Overall Movie is Avg..

But Collections will be Super.. Openings are mind blowing.. 

final punch

"SAMUDRAM ODDUNA SAIRAT"
