Oosaravelli ... My take

First day first show @ Urvashi Theatre in Bangalore. Oosaravelli started impressing me with the titles which shows the creativity and care taken  in every minute detail of the movie.

I usually love the hype given to heros in introduction, and this movie has one of the best of all i have seen recently. The background score and songs are really a treat and kudos to Rasool for the excellent camera work. NTR looked stylish with the tatto and ear piercings. 

Tamanna did an excellent job in the second half and never expected this from her.Undoubtedly career best performance of Tamanna. I have to confess that the climax seemed lengthy. The fights are composed are really well and Surendar Reddy delivered his secod best movie(after Kick ;) ). The comedy is very situational and the songs could not have been better.

And not to forget that Oosaravelli was shot in 112 days unlike big commercial movies which take more than year and half usually. I wont compare this stylish visual treat with other movies .

 

Really disappointed with the reviews floating outside. Opinions and tastes do differ and this is my take on Oosaravelli.

As a fan i would rate this as 3.5

As a movie buff i would rate it  between 3 and 3.25

Oosaravelli Range Awaited

Oosaravelli is realeasing worldwide tomorrow with record number of prints and screens for the first time in  Telugu film industry. Now a days releasing with record number of prints has become a strategy to get good collections at the box office given the piracy and other external factors like hero range , movie genre etc.

In Hyderabad Prasads IMAX Oosaravelli is releasing with 22 screens on the first day and the count is reduced to 9 on the next day. Does this indicate the inside negative talk of the Oosaravelli  (Which was also published by another box office website) ? As Oosaravelli is releasing on Thursaday and the weekend following immediately, the screens should not fall so drastically by less than 50 percent. 

The film industry is recovering with good collections of Dookudu and hope this spree continues with Oosaravelli. Anyway Tarak has good fan following in B and C centres unlike Mahesh Babu and hope it neutralizes the effect of talk of the movie. Irrespective of the talk of the movie , Oosaravelli will rewrite the records of the first day in TFI  for sure and rest has to be awaited.

Last time when Mahesh and Tarak fought face to face with Khaleja and Brindavanam Tarak won with a clean margin. If he proves again he will undoubtedly be declared as the No 1 hero of Tollywood.

All the best TARAK FOR OOSARAVELLI .

Sega movie reivew

This is my review after a long time. 

PreMood : I was eagerly waiting for this movie ever since i heard the auido. Went into the theater with lot of hopes.

First half is very slow . Songs and their pictuarization is good. Karthik(nani), Radika(Nithya Menon), Vishnu, Vani (Bindu Madhavi) and Balaji are main leads and the story revovles around them. Karthik and Balaji are brothes , Vishnu being best friend of Karthik.

Vani wroks as a  prostitute under Karthik's father who is a pimp.Vishnu falls in love with Vani. Vishnu dares a risk for Vani which involves drugs and local mafia .Vishnu drags Karthik into this and it turns out into a big mess. The remaining story is about how they have got out from it and whether Vishnu is able to save Vani or not.

Second has good pace and scenes between Bindu Madhavi and Vishnu are shot very well. There is no hero character as such, both Nani and Balaji have equal roles. I feel Nani could have been used better and there is no comedy at all.

Most of the character artists are from tamil  and i dont think it has any chance in telugu.

Rating: 2.5/5

Mirapakaay ! – Idhi Pichi Mirapakaay kadhu ! Pachhi Mirapakaay !

Pre Mood : Energetic , enthusiastic as I have got a strong gut feel that this  would be the Sankranthi winner making others whiners !

My View :

The movie feel is energetic right form the start of the titles ! Though nothing variety in the story, the director succeeded in making us thoroughly entertained.RaviTeja is as usual put up an electrifying performance but the only difference when compared to his earlier movies is he looks more glamorous in this movie.Quality of the picture is so good ,colorful and appealing.

Richa is fantabulous good in traditional wear.Her character is soft and easily likeable ! I couldn’t stop myself from humming (actually singing ) the songs in the theatre.Thanks to the LOUD system that made others not listen my voice ! By this I just wanted to tell you the songs are too good in this movie !! Thaman disappointed us with Ragada but he is back with a bang with Mirapakaay !  Director Harish Shankar who handled Shock brilliantly carved even this movie with utmost care.I doubted how is he going to handle an energetic movie like Mirapakay after knowing he is the diro of “Thriller Genre” Shock ! But he proved his mettle by directing this movie so good.Now about Dheeksha… this cute-hot gal plays a slightly different character in this movie.Her character might not be catchy but for sure her looks and beauty catches ones’ hearts  ! Editing is clean and screenplay is pacy making you nevre feel bored and blah blah blah !

Overall this movie is another KICK for Mass Raja Ravi Teja fans ! of course also for normal audience, Rush to theatres/book your tickets via bookmyshow.com to watch this movie. Clean Entertainer. Sankranthi Winner for sure .. Even though AOD,GHS might become hits but nothing can stop this movie’s box office performance !

Planning to watch thi smovie again may be 2maro nite !

ParamVeeraChakra Movie Review by Teja

Pre Mood : Neutral. After Simha (the movie I rated ‘thumbs down’)  became a standing hit in 2010 , I thought it’s time for me to tune my mind to normal Audience.The pre-mood for this movie is NEUTRAL !

My View :

In theatre just 5 minutes before the start of the movie.Balayya fans are roaring expecting another smashing hit after Simha.

Titles are decent   with nice back ground score. NTR appearance in the start of the movie is very good (barring the graphic work).

BalaKrishna’s  role as Ravana Brahma is simply mesmerizing. His diction (though we are not even eligible to comment on that, but I just can’t resist praising him.)  is amazing.The dialogues penned by Dasari are too good (I still doubt Dasari’s hand in the dialogues).Portrayal of JayaSimha’s character is astonishing.The introduction scenes remind us of Vikramarkudu.Daces are too good in the first song. Till date I did not know , Sheela is such a good dancer.Portrayal of Komaram Bheem ‘s character is heart touching but drags at time(s).[Telangana people might have thoroughly enjoyed this episode.]The director maintains suspense through out the first half. Forgot to mention, Brahmi-Ali’s comedy is fun-inducing.If at all , you force me to give a rating for this first half – It is 5/5 !! What do you want… Hype Scenes?Glamorous Heroines? (Ameesha is really cool in this movie),Punch Dialogues?Comedy Scenes? .. Everything… You have got everything in this half.

Interval raised the expectations of mine(all audience).

Pre Mood during Interval: Though I am in the popcorn queue, my mind is still thinking of that interval bang and the marvellous back ground score.

Interval started slowly, suddenly gains some pace and again goes slowly.. this time dead slowly.While the first half makes you feel 1 hour 20 mins of time as just say 30 minutes, this half makes you pay the price for the reason  u bought a ticket for Dasari’s movie.Songs timing is ridiculously bad.Slow naration. Over dose of punch dialogues(just like Komaram PULI).But by the time, the movie gains pace, one will be frustrated with slow narration.Nothing wrong with Balayya’s action.It’s a problem of script.Frankly , nothing much in this half worth deserving a mention.

My Rating.. somewhere around 2.5

Overall , Movie can be watched any number of times for it’s brilliant first half, but not even once for it’s pathetic second half.[But the first half makes you watch second half if you are watching it for the first time.]

Rating :3.25 – 3.50 !

If you are planning to watch a movie for this Sankranthi, wait for Mirapakaay !! or if you are comfortable bearing some boring scenes, please rush to ParamaVeera Chakra !
