"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"

MASTER Movie Review

MASTER
                                                       "A boring drama with some fan elements"

Casting..  Vijay, Malavika Mohanan,
                 Vijay Sethupathi .
            

1st half is boring.. 2nd half is So so.. The basic plot itself is not Strong..But the biggest plus for the film is "Vijay & Vijay". Their combination is good..First time both are acting in a Movie..Sometimes we should believe that Combinations and festivals will Workout,That's what happened here..And another biggest plus is, After a long long gap A big Gaint kind of Movie has been released.. Audience rushed to the theatres..Openings are Mind blowing..Coming to the Movie The Script is weak..There is no interest in the drive..Some scenes are ok..Kabaddi episode resembles Gabbar singh..And the scene where a child saves heroine is good..In 2nd half scenes repeats(fights)again and again..Action sequences are too much.. One after the other they will be coming..There is no content, So he filled with fights only..Correct ga observe chesthe 3 lines Story..Actually I have expected alot from this Director after KHAIDI.. Because KHAIDI Cinema chusi shock ayipoyanu..(I still remember when I saw first day and given 3.25 rating for KHAIDI.. Many called Me Nuvvu 3.25 ichava??)
When compared to KHAIDI I didn't feel 10% in that..
Story is weak..Screenplay is So so.. There are some ups and downs..Another minus is, Ee Script leni Cinema 3 hours duration..(Assalu Ee Script ki 2 hours ye ekkuva..)Dialogues are So so..The dialogue where Vijay sethupathi saying "Neeku kotha kadu. Nenu cheptunnanu I AM WAITING" is Super..Photography is good.. Some lighting schemes are good..Costumes are ok..Art Direction is ok..Chitti Story song is good.. Remaining songs are so so.. Background score is Extraordinary..Anirudh tries his back ground score differently not in a regular format..Fights are good..Direction is okay..He should have concentrated on the Script..Production values are good..
Vijay is good..But Aa first half mottam taagi padukovatam bore kottesindi Naaku..Vijay sethupathi is good..Thier combination is good..Heroine is so so..Remaining artists are ok..The guy who did as young Vijay sethupathi is good..

Positives
*VIJAY & VIJAY combo
*Background score
*festive Season

Negatives 
*Weakest Script 
*Duration (3 hours) 🙏🙏🙏
Overall Movie is Below Avg.. But openings are Super..
 
final punch :
"V2" (Vijay & Vijay sethupathi)

"SOLO BRATHUKE SO BETTER" movie review

"SOLO BRATHUKE SO BETTER" (A big release after lockdown) 

Casting. Sai Dharma Tej, Nabha Naresh,
Rao Ramesh, Naresh ..
Music Director. S.S. Thaman
Producer. BVSN Prasad.
First of all happy to see the huge public in the theatres after a long time.. Coming to the Movie..
"A So so comedy drama with a bad Story telling" 1st half is ok.. 2nd half is bad.. The duration of the Movie is 2 hours..1st half an hour is boring.. Then the Movie picked up.. 2nd half an hour is good.. Comedy worked out in that half an hour.. So we will feel that first half is okay..I expected the interval twist.. But it is good.. 2nd half is boring..I didn't connect to single scene in 2nd half..Actually the basic point itself is weak..Aa Slokaalu ento, Aa rules ento?? Aa Philosophy ento?? Vallake Ardham avvali.. This Script has no Minimum Script values also.. There is no exciting elements at all..Swayamvaram lo, Manmadhudu lo Hero Pelli gurinchi ladies gurinchi cheptunte Navvu aapukolemu.. Ikkada Hero cheptunte Bore kottestadi..Rao Ramesh scenes are good..Rao Ramesh telling about ladies in the first half is the highlight of the Movie.. Cinema lo Edina emotional scene undi ante Aa okka scene ye..
Story is weak.. Screenplay is boring..Dialogues are ok..liked the dialogues "Manam chese Pani ni Manam enjoy cheyali kani, Adi Manalni Enjoy cheyakudadu" "Appudappudu Mana Kanneellu tudavataniki Rendu Chethulu Saripovu" "Gaayapadda Simham swaasa" "Dandupalyam batch" "Nenu vesina Vittanam Intha Pedda Marri chettu avutundi ani assalu expect cheyaledu" "Varamichina Ventane Shaapam ichinattundi"
"Lanka ayina bonka ayina, Port ayina court ayina gelichedi Ramudu ye"
Photography is ok.. Hero shadow shot is good(Hero will be beside the bike). Lighting in that shot is good..Costumes are ok.. Actually first half Costumes are good..2nd half are So so..Art Direction is ok.. Some properties are good..Editing is ok..2 songs are okay.. Remaining songs are not upto the mark..Background score is ok..2nd half Rao Ramesh scene, Climax fight scene both scenes background score is good..2nd half Ajay fight concept is very artificial, I didn't connect to it..Direction is so so.. He should have taken more care on the Script.. Production values are good..Anni icharu But Proper Script ni select chesukoledu..And one more thing there is no proper lip synch for the dialogues..Dubbing lip synch correct ga ledu konni scenes lo..
Sai dharam Tej is good..He has become somewhat Chubby in this Movie but baavunnadu..But he should select a Proper Script.. Raasi raasi Naaku kuda bore kottesindi.. After Pilla Nuvvu leni Jeevitham he didn't select a Proper Script till today.. Madya lo Supreme, Subramanyam for sale kuda just Chaltha Movies anthe..He should take Care of Scripts.. ONLY SCRIPTS.. Nabha natesh is okay.. She has a limited role only.. Satya and Vennela Kishore comedy is good.. Satya comedy shaking his head with a background song is good..

Postives
*Rao Ramesh 
*Duration(Only 2 hours)
*Satya Comedy
*Vennela kishore.

Negatives
*Script
*Entire 2nd half..

Overall Movie has some comedy in portions and Majority of the Movie is not upto the mark..
Nilabadadu..

Ramgopal Varma 'MURDER' movie review

Ramgopal Varma  "MURDER"       
                                                                          A So so emotional drama based on Amrutha-Pranay, Maruthi rao real Story"

Casting.. Krishnaswamy Shrikanth, Sahiti, Gayatri Bhargavi

Directed by : Anand Chandra

Producer :Natti Karuna, Natti Kranthi

1st half & 2nd half entire film is So so.. Actually this is a well known Story to everyone based on Amrutha, Pranay and Maruthirao...Inspite of that also there is no bore feel in the Movie.. The main thing Which I liked in the Movie is Direction..Shot Composition is good.. He tried for something different Shot composition.. One of the BEST Direction in Low budget Movies I have seen recently..But the thing is, he can't change the Story because it is based on Realistic Story..Some emotional elements are good..But watching this as a Movie is somewhat a difficult task..It resembles SAAIRAT in many aspects.. Actually Love track ki ekkuva importance ichi unte, Audience ki Chudataniki interest undedi.. First half antha Love Story tho Cheppi undalsindi.. There is no change over at all..
They have done some changes wantedly..As it is ga undakudadu ani change chesinattu..
Story is Known..Screenplay is ok..Dialogues are So so..Liked the dialogue "Nenu chese Ee Murder, Naa Kooturu meeda Naaku Entha Prema undo Cheppataniki".. Photography is okay.. 

Liked Some shot compositions..Costumes are Natural..Art Direction is So so.. Almost Movie is in Single location only..Only one song I think.. Background score is good.. Some scenes have been told with background score only..In some scenes BGM reminded Raktha Charitra..Direction is good..Done in a very limited budget..I think oka 40 lakhs lo ne chesesi untaru..Casting is Super.. As it is ga dinchesadu..Srikanth ayyengar Career's Best performance.. I think that girl name is Sahithi.. She is good.. The guy is also ok..Gayatri bhargavi is also ok..Remaining artists are ok..

Positives
*Direction
*Casting
*Srikanth ayyengar career's Best performance

Negatives
*No change over..
Overall Movie is So so..Not bad..

"DIRTY HARI" Tollywood movie review

   "DIRTY HARI"           
                                                            (Released in Friday Movies app) 

Casting. Sravan Reddy,  Simrath Kaur, Ruhani Sharma..

Director. M.S .Raju.

"A boring erotic thriller with an adult kind of Story telling"
1st half & 2nd half entire film is boring.. Personally I don't like these kind of Movies, But As famous Producer M.S Raju Directed this Movie,
 I was eagerly waiting to watch and know what is the Exciting element which made him to Direct this kind of Script??
Actually I am a fan of his Produced Movies..

This Movie got Craze in Social Media because of the adult Content only.. The teasers, trailers and posters which they have released are targeted to Some audiences, and they have succeeded in it..
Coming to the Movie, Heroine introduction scene is same as of RAKSHASUDU Hero introduction scene..

 I was waiting for the climax, Because for the last few days the celebrities who watched this Movie praised the climax like anything in twitter.. They have mentioned the Climax as "Never before etc.." I am not commenting, Nenu ayithe Excite avvaledu..Climax is also So so but Compared to the remaining portion of the Movie it is somewhat better..
Cinema chustunnantha Sepu Imran Hashmi Movie chustunnanu ane feeling ye Vachindi..A simple point based on Extra marital affair, tried to tell like Adult kind of Story telling.. There is no interest in the drive.. Photography & Art Direction tappa Cinema lo Nenu Inka deeniki connect avvaledu.. Of course Artistes performance is also good..

Story is Simple.. Screenplay is boring..This is not a dialogue Oriented Movie..But liked the situational dialogue "Life antha black and white tho ne Saripoyindi, Undanivvandi Ee colors"
Photography is good.. Aa budget ki Super..Some lighting schemes are good..Art Direction is good..Some Locations are good.. And a special mention to a photo frame of Gods in Hero House..Aa photo frame maatram Super..Editing is ok.. Only one song.. Background score is ok..Costumes are So so..Done in a limited budget..Direction is ok..He should have chosen a Property Script..
Hero & Heroine both are good.. There performances are good..Ruhani sharma is also good.. Remaining characters are also ok..I can say the total Casting is good..

Positives
*Photography
*Art Direction
*Casting..

Negatives
*Script 

Overall Movie is boring.. It may get some views for its adult content..

It is boring..
final punch 
"DIRTY HASHMI BROTHER OF IMRAN HASHMI"
