Story, Screenplay & Direction: Srikanth Addala
Producers: Prasad V Potluri, Mahesh Babu
Banner: PVP Cinemas
Music: Mickey J Mayor
CBFC Rating: U Certified
Runtime: 2hrs 36mins
Release Date: May 20, 2016

The much awaited movie Brahmotsavam starring Superstar Mahesh Babu has finally hit the screens across the world today. Brahmotsavam is a complete family entertainer. Directed by Srikanth Addala. Mahesh Babu and Srikanth Addala’s combination has once again created magic on the big screen with mesmerizing performance of each and every artist of the film. Kajal Agarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Pranitha Subhash are the three female lead heroines who have adorned the film with their gorgeousness. Here's the complete review of the film. 

Story:
Brahmotsavam is the story of a pure relation between a father Chantabbayi (Satyaraj) and his son who values relations and emotions rather than money and luxuries. They get huge respect from the people in the society because of which some of their family members (Rao Ramesh) gets irritated. An unexpected situation leads to twist in the life. The rest of the film is how his son carries over the emotions and clears the gap between their families with his acts. Watch Brahmotsavam to know about the movie. 

Performances:
Mahesh Babu is back with his image of lovable attracting boy. Mahesh Babu performed well and it was his best performance till now. Mahesh looks dazzling and extra smart in the film throughout. He has been outstanding in the emotional episodes. 
Samantha is superb in her chirpy role and her chemistry with Mahesh is just adorable. Kajal as NRI girl  and all her romantic scenes with Mahesh have been designed supremely well. 
Rao Ramesh is another attraction and gets a meaty role. His mannerisms, attitude suits his character well and he does a brilliant job. Satyaraj is apt and does a superb job. All his scenes with Mahesh Babu moves you emotionally. Jayasudha and Revathi are good in their respective roles.

Technical Aspects:
Mickey J Meyer’s music is a huge asset as all the songs have been shot wonderfully. Major credit should go to Ratnavelu for his breath taking camera work. If not for his visuals, the film would not have turned out the way it did.
Production values by PVP are awesome as every frame looks rich and grand. Coming to the director Srikanth Addala, his screenplay is quite simple. His dialogues that are simple and clean. Slow Story narration in the 2nd half disappoints a bit. Instead, he should have been added some drama in the 2nd half.

Analysis:
The first half of Brahmotsavam starts with the narration of a beautiful family filled with emotional people all over. As time passes on, the movie dips down completely as it lacks the much needed bonding and relations between them. First half of the film is pretty good and has some very feel good moments. Interval bang is superb and has been executed quite well. The second half of Brahmotsavam doesn’t have the needed content because of which the film drops down completely. Director Srikanth Addala has stressed the focus on Mahesh Babu and his relationship with his father in the first half and then immediately shifts focus to roots of his family. It is like watching two different movies on a single ticket. But he should have tried in some different way to make it interestingly.
Although the movie has couple worth family sentiment scenes like the interval tragedy and the climax duel between Rao Ramesh and Mahesh Babu, the actual drama is very little in the film. 

i-Say:  
On the whole, Brahmotsavam is a film which has some decent moments going its way. This is not your regular dance and fight movie and has simple emotions. Mahesh Babu’s performance, family emotions and huge star cast are basic assets. If you ignore the predictable nature of the storyline and some boring moments during the second half, this is one film which can be one time watchable with your family. 

Rating: 2.5/5

Inka Kavala.!

What happens in the next few hours is rest of the drama with the story unfolding many twists and turns. 

Performances:

Sudheer Babu has got a role that suits him. He has given his best. He is going the right way by choosing interesting scripts. Waqima didn't have much scope but she did good in her character.  Venu and his friend have done some hilarious moments. Prudhvi performance as Mallepushpam will be remembered for long. He once again entertains in the climax. Prudhvi  Posani has got a lengthy role. There are numerous characters in the film and everyone has chipped in with fine performances.

Production values of the film are top notch. The makers should be lauded for believing in the script and giving a young debutant such a huge project. Camera work is top notch as the aerial shots and the way all the chases and fights have been showcased is just superb. Sunny's background score is superb. There are few good songs too.

Director Sriram Aditya, this youngster makes a striking debut and impresses big time. He scores brownie points for taking an unusual story line and executing it in an interesting way. Screenplay is pretty interesting and keeps you engaged till the end.

Analysis:

Bhale Manchi Roju offers refreshing scenes on the screen. The story starts halfway and keeps forwarding interestingly as twists keep coming along the way. A total fun-filled ride in the first half is what we witness. The new director Sriram Aditya sets up the drama in such engrossing way. Aided by cinematographer Samdatt’s imaginative camerawork, the director (also the movie’s writer) plays with his screenplay loaded with twists.

The turns in the story all are rounded up as the story progresses by the director. Many films came earlier with the story happening in a single day but Bhale Manchi Roju has engaging screenplay and good technical values.

On the whole, Bhale Manchi Roju is very interesting crime caper with high technical and production values.

i-Say: 

Bhale Manchi Roju is decent entertainer with refreshing screenplay. The film sets up the drama nicely.  Bhale Manchi Roju is an interesting crime comedy which is quite different from the current commercial entertainers. Entertaining narration, superb twists and a hilarious climax are huge assets for this film. 

Inka Kavala.!

kumari 21f movie review

Movie: Kumari 21F
Banner: Sukumar Writings
Cast: Raj Tharun, Hebbah Patel, Noel, Hema and others
Dialogues: Potluri Venki
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Cinematography: R Rathnavelu
Editor: Amar Reddy
Story, Screenplay: Sukumar B
Producers: Vijaya Prasad Bandreddi and Thomas Reddy Aduri
Director: Surya Pratap 

Rating: 3.3/5

Kumari 21F raised curiosity with bold content shown in the trailers and has understandably caught the attention of youngsters. Kumari 21F, starring Raj Tharun and Hebah Patel in lead, is directed by Surya Prathap, produced by Sukumar under his own production house Sukumar's Writings. Apart from producing the film Sukumar has also penned story and screenplay for this film. 

Story:

As the title indicates, the film revolves around Kumari (Hebah Patel), who is very outspoken and a small time model by profession. When the Mumbai based girl relocates to Hyderabad, she meets Siddhu (Raj Tharun), who aspires to settle in Singapore as chef and his gang of friends. Though Siddhu finds Kumari saucy, he eventually falls for her and enjoys the liberty. But the conflict arises when he starts to doubt her character because of her boldness. When he decides to test her loyalty with the help of his friends, an ugly turn of events takes place revealing the twists in the heroine's life. What made Kumari a bold girl? What are those ugly turn of events in the tale? These form the rest of the story.

Performances:

Raj Tarun innocent looking face and lean physique adds authenticity to the character. He again impressed with high jinks and he played well as a confused youngster.  Heebah Patel is good as the female lead, as she looked bold, energetic and glamorous. She went overboard at times but did a decent job on the whole. Noel is good as the bad guy. Friends characters provided fun at times. Hema is seen in a role where she underplays for the first time.

Technical Aspects:

Kumari 21 F is a technically rich film as it has proven technicians like Rathnavelu and Devi Sri Prasad, attached to it. Randy's cinematography added the fresh feel to the film, while Devi Sri Prasad takes away some brownie points by scoring catchy and youthful tunes for this new age love story. Written by Sukumar, the film's story comes as a hard hitting, bold and realistic one. Director Surya Pratap, he has done a decent job with the film. Even though he goes overboard in showcasing heroine’s character in certain areas, he nicely justifies it up during the climax.

Analysis:

The film is certified with an 'A' for a reason and avoid watching it with family to keep yourself away from embarrassing moments. On the whole, Kumari 21 F is, perhaps, a too forward film for Telugu audience to accept right now but it will surely win the love of youth. Sukumar has pushed the boundaries in establishing the characters. Heart of the film lies in the pre climax and climax scenes where the movie takes a complete U turn with an unexpected ending. This is where the brilliance of Sukumar's writing comes to the fore and Kumari will leave a lasting impression on the audience either it is good or bad. This youthful entertainer stays true to its genre and is bound to do well with the younger lot.

i-Say: An Impressive Bold Love Story 

Inka Kavala.!

Kanche Movie Review

Movie: Kanche 
Banner: First Frame Entertainment
Cast: Varun Tej, Pragya Jaiswal, Nikitin Dheer, Srinivas Avasarala, Gollapudi, Shavukaru Janaki , Satyam Rajesh, Posani
Dialogues: Sai Madhav Burra
Music: Chirantan Bhatt
Lyrics: Sirivennela Seetharama Sasthri
Cinematography: Jnanasekhar
Editing: Suraj Jagtap, Rama Krishna Arram
Producers: Saibabu Jagarlamudi, Y. Rajeev Reddy
Written and directed by: Krish
Release Date: 22 October 2015


Touted to be the India's first World War movie in Telugu movie, does "Kanche” live up to all the buzz it generated pre-release? Let’s find out.. 

Story:

The story is set in 1940’s in Devarakonda and in Europe. Dhoopati Hari Babu (Varun Tej), belonging to lower middle class of the society is good at studies. He meets Seetha Devi (Pragya Jaiswal) at his Madras college who also studies in the same college. Seetha Devi’s brother Eeshwar (Nikitin Dheer), a commander in Indian Royal Army. Hari Babu deputed as soldier is fighting as part of the allied forces against Hitler under where, Eeshwar is the commanding officer of his troupe. 

What happened in the past and the present tale of Haribabu's great rescue mission in Germany forms rest of the story.

Performances:

Varun Tej: Varun Tej as soldier and young guy in 1940’s is suited well to the character. He has shown lot of maturity as an actor. He is believable as the fearless soldier and lover. There is confidence in his performance compared to his first movie Mukunda.

Praggya and Others: Praggya is good looking and also can act. Scenes between the lead pair are conceived very well. Praggya did justice to her role and will surely win hearts as Seethagaru. Nikitin is good as the antagonist. Gollapudi Maruti Rao and Shaokar Janaki added value to the film. Srinivas Avasarala provided much needed relief amidst heavy war episodes. Avasarala tries to provide some laughs in the war zone with his timely satires. 

Senior actors Gollapudi and Shavukaru Janaki have done justice to their roles. Satyam Rajesh, Posani, Singeetam in their brief roles are good.

Technical Aspects:

Terrific war sequences and excellent making values shine through the film.  V S Jnana Sekhar’s frames are not only richly beautiful, even the visual treat of war sequences is in world class range. Technically the movie is very sound. Art design and visual effects are perfect.

Music is mixed bag, while background score serves the mood of the movie, songs are in old style. Editing is neat. Action choreography especially the war scenes in Georgia are first rate.

i-Analysis:

Director Krish who is known to make films that touch upon issues that deal with human relations and the circumstances that mould them, tries to recreate the war-time setting. To that extent he is totally successful. Krish talks of how love is nothing less than war with the world creating very many barriers in the name of caste, religion, region, etc. Love story and war episodes run parallel in an interestingly written screenplay. 

This is quite a different story, never attempted on Telugu screen, for sure. Sticking true to the story, Krish narrates the movie in serious manner, not including any necessary tracks.


i-Say: A Brilliant film that shows the relation of "A Kanche Between Love & War."

i-Rating: 3.5/5

Inka Kavala..!
