Gabbar Singh Movie Review
Cast:
Pawan Kalyan, Sruthi Hasan, Abhimanyu Singh, Kota srinivasa Rao
Music: DSP
Director: Hari Sankar
Producer: Ganesh Babu
Finally its time for celebration Pawan kalyan Fans...
Though this movie is the remake of Dabbang we will not find the most of the similarities with that movie.
Some major changes in the story has been made in entertaining way. 40% of the story has been changed as per the nativity of the telugu audience.
Pawan Kalyan entrance is made with a mighty fight which was composed by Ram-Laxman in funny manner. Later the scene shifts to the Rajasthan desert locations with army men having guns and missiles along with them.
Getting into the flashback episodes the Harish Shankar added some dose over these scenes. The flashback was made to run more than 7 minutes to elevate the relationship between the mother and son.
Sruthi Hassan is pretty and looks gorgeous in sarees. Her acting like an innocent village girl is good and Kota Srinivasa Rao is best upto his mark as heroine's father.
The duration of first half is around one hour. It totally runs in speed pace without boring for half second. The first half of the movie will be the best ever for PK fans.
Interval fight at railway station is good.
Coming to second half the movie gets into some emotional scenes and gets slow down as the depth in the story is being evaluated.
Dilse song is picturised in romantic way after the marriage of the lead roles in the movie.
Ajay is superb as Pawankalyan's brother and this movie is going to be the one of the milestone for his career. Gayatri (Happy Days fame Appu) is the lady love of the Ajay.
Kevv Keka song may disappoint fans in the first half of the song. But the song gets into peaks as Pawan Kalyan enters the screen from the second half of the screen. Pawan dance is superb with slow motion steps.
Climax is going to be one of the best among the movie of Pawan Kalyan.It is the another highlight of the movie.
Plus Points:
The movie is completely is fast paced movie with dynamic screen-play. So, it would be main plus point of the movie.
No, doubt Pawan kalyan rocked his way with his mark of action and comedy.
Sruthi Hassan is good.
Abhimanyu Singh crossed the action limitations of Sonu Sood he is one of the best part of GabbarSingh.
Last but not the least Harish Shankar and Devi Sri Prasad should be awarded as the best Powerstar fans of the decade for their dedication for the movie.
Negative Points :
Second half of the movie.
Suhasini character was not picturized well which failed to connect with audience.
Failing of sentiment scenes.
Final Word :
Finally, GabbarSingh is going to be the winner of this summer. Its completely an entertainer for both the families and mass audience.So, fans get ready for the feast as you are hungry from 10 years.

DAMMU Movie Review
Cast :- Jr. NTR,Trisha Krishnan,Karthika Nair,Abhinaya,Venu Thottempudi,Bhanupriya,Nassar,Kota Srinivasa Rao,Subhalekha Sudhakar,
Dammu Movie Review
Story:
Dhammu is the story of violence that took place between two stories. Vijaya (NTR) is the protege of Vasireddy clan who had lo lead the life as orphan. He falls in love with Trisha and in an interesting turn of events, he is brought back in to his family. However, he is a lad who believes human life is a god’s gift to live not to fight till death. He strives hard to bring peace in the region using non violence but opponents’ ego forces him to take the path of brute force. Finally how he restores happiness of his people forms the story.
Performances:
NTR once again proved that why he is deemed as one of the most versatile actors in current generation actors. He proved his acting prowess in action scenes as well as emotional scenes. His expressions during the conflict within himself are awesome. His dances in ‘Oo Lily’ and ‘Vastu Bagunde’ are top notch. One can expect the dialogues in a Boyapati movie, and that too when they are uttered by a hero like NTR.. Come on.. I am running out of superlatives.
Trisha and Karthika had very less scope for action and they are adequate. However, both of them did not have in them to attract masses. Karthika’s over height and Trisha’s lack of fresh look is the main problem. They simply did not go well with NTR.
Kota Srinivas Rao as NTR’s Grand father, Suman as father, Bhanu Priya as mother, Nasser as antagonist are top class as usual.
Technical Performances:
Even though, Boyapati’s Bhadra and Tulasi were hits, he suddenly hogged in to lime light with Balakrishna’s Simha which propelled the actor’s career back on track. The influence of Simha is certainly playing behind his mind. However, he tried his best to get a correct blend of action and emotion. There is a good sentimental track underlying in the second half.And coming to the bad parts, so far Boyapati’s movies are known for racy narration which did not happen in this case. The movie momentum gradually dipped in the second half. However, his efforts to bring out a combination of action and emotion is commendable despite his image as mass director.
MM Keeravani’s song are instant blockbuster and back ground music is top notch. Dialogues by Ratnam are excellent. Arthur Wilson’s Cinematography is good. Editing could have been better

Rama Rama Krishna Krishna Movie review
Film: Rama Rama Krishna Krishna
Banner: Sri Venkateswara Creations
Cast: Arjun, Ram, Priya Anand, Bindu Madhavi, Nasser, Banerjee, Sayaji Shinde, Brahmanandam, Srinivas Reddy, Pragathi, Bharath, Gracy Singh and others
Dialogues: M Ratnam
Music: M M Keeravani
Cinematography: Sekhar V Joseph
Editing: Gautham Raju
Story, screenplay, direction: Srivass
Producer: Dil Raju
Release date: 12/05/2010
Handsome hero Ram has teamed up with action king Arjun and has arrived with an interesting title ‘Rama Rama Krishna Krishna’. Ramakrishna (Ram) is a daring guy of the village and rash guy but he respects his father (Nasser) and his ideals. A problem in the family leads him to face the Mumbai don Pawar (Vineeth Kumar)and Ramakrishna discovers the link between Pawar and Ashok Deva (Arjun) who lives in the same village with his sister Priya (Priya). Rama Krishna has a maradalu (Bindu Madhavi) who runs behind him.
Who is Ashok Deva and what does Ramakrishna do to solve the problems, whom does Rama Krishna marry at last forms the rest of the story. Arjun was elegant as usual and he has a composed performance. More than his act, it is his powerful screen presence that always gives an appeal to the audience. He was effective. Ram looks handsome and gave his performance as required. Though he has put his best efforts, he was unable to deliver the voltage during violent scenes. Priya was chirpy and beautiful. She has also shown her oomph factor in the songs and her asset is her eyes. However, she must look at building few extra pounds of flesh to get that real sex appeal. Bindu Madhavi was alright, she didn’t have much of a role but she did her bit providing the visual feast wherever required.
Vineeth Kumar has good expressions and has a streak of comedy face which makes it interesting. Nasser was natural, Banerjee was neat, Brahmanandam’s comedy lacked appeal, Srinivas Reddy was standard, Sayaji was usual, the actor who did the role of Siva got a meaty role which he did well but he needs to work on his dialogue delivery, the rest of the cast added value as required. The film runs on a beaten track and there is nothing new or exciting that it offers. There were instances wherein the audience predicted what happens next. The director has picked few bits from here and there as well.
The killing of Gracy Singh is a scene that was seen in Ab Tak Chappan/ Siddham
Arjun’s flash back has a tinge of ‘Basha’
The killing of Gracy Singh is a scene that was seen in Ab Tak Chappan/ Siddham
Arjun’s flash back has a tinge of ‘Basha’
The scene wherein the swamijis search for hero reminds of ‘Bangaru Bullodu’,
The last action sequence reminds of ‘Magadheera’.
Graphics were inferior, especially in the car chase sequences where they land at any given place they want without a scratch (wish we had such cars in real, it would have solved the traffic problem). The script was stale, the screenplay was weak, background score was good but songs were a disappointment. Cinematography was jarring.
Editing could have been better. The good side of the story is the concept of ‘Rama-Krishna’ amulet and the serene presence of Arjun which gives a grace to the film. If only the makers had focused on strengthening the comedy track and providing some unexpected twists, the film would have created an impact. Otherwise, it is just another ‘run of the mill’ story without any variety.
Okka Kchanam Movie review
Film: Okka Kshanam
Genre: Off Beat
Banner: Seven Hills Television Networks
Cast: Rajeev Kanakala, Kota, Ahuti Prasad, L B Sriram, Vizag Prasad, Jeeva, Narayan Rao, Raksha, Giri Babu, Telangana Sakunthala
Music: Arjun
Dialogues: ShouriEditing: Ramesh
Story, screenplay,
direction: Kodali Venkateswara Rao
Producer: Swathi Balineni
Release date: 07/05/2010
A girl student gets murdered and the news channels gets into action right away. After speaking to the neighbors and residents, it is deduced that the girl was murdered by her scorned lover Kishore. The entire state gets into frenzy thanks to the electronic media commotion and the government decides to appoint a special committee of experts from various fields (Rajeev Kanakala, Kota, Ahuti Prasad, L B Sriram, Vizag Prasad, Jeeva, Narayan Rao, Raksha, Giri Babu, Telangana Sakunthala) and entrusts the decision. Whether they also come to the same conclusion or not forms the rest of the story. Basically, the film maker has attempted to come up with a film that conveys a strong social message, that is to stop getting influenced by external factors and make preconceived notions about a situation.
This is an effort to tell the audience to stop thinking like a goat herd and use their own judgement about any issue. While the concept is appreciable, there is a fine line between conceiving it and getting it on the screen. That was missing here, for instance, the discussions held by the panel and the various analyses they do are not strong enough to prove that the accused is innocent. The screenplay could have been worked upon so that the pace of the movie is maintained. Incidentally, it is difficult for the audience to connect to the key subject as the entire film goes about in a boardroom and no one knows or sees who Kishore is. The plot chosen and the screenplay zeroed in are not strongly convincing to prove the point that Kishore, the unseen convicted is an acquit. In a way, this is not for those who wish to go with their families and it requires a certain level of patience to understand the essence. If the objective of the film maker is to make money out of it then it may not work but if he is keen on spreading the message then the film would require a strong dose of publicity to carry it across. This is an offbeat and out of the box idea with a noble intention, ok for film festivals and art house audience.
Darling movie review
Film: Darling
Cast: Prabhas, Kajal, Shradhdha Das, Mukesh Rishi, Prabhu, Chandra Mhan, Ahuti Prasad, MS Narayana, Sivannarayana, Tulasi, Kota, Srinivas Reddy etc.
Music: GV PrakashFights: Peter Heins
Dialogues: Swamy
Producer: BVSN Prasad
Direction: Karunakar
Release Date: 23rd Apr 2010
‘Darling’ is the word that Prabhas uses to call his close pals. That was made a title now for the movie with him in lead. Let us see how darling it is for audiences. Story:The movie starts with enthusiastic 1980 backdrop in black and white. The college mates disperse after farewell and they keep themselves in contact even after decades. Prabha (Prabhas) is the son of one of those old friends (Prabhu) and Nandini (Kajal) is the daughter of another (Ahuti Prasad). They live in various places. A lady (Shradhdha Das) loves Prabha and proposes him. But he negates. The father of that lady is a goon (Mukesh Rishi) who surrounds Prabha and his friends’ gang for negating his daughter. To escape from that goon Prabha narrates his flash back stating that he has love interest by name Nandini and he met her in Switzerland.
The goon leaves him knowing that. After a while, the old friends wish to have old friends’ reunion with families. They all meet in a village and how Prabha and Nandini meet again (?) and end up with love-union forms rest of the story. Many twists, turns and secrets will be unleashed in narration for the entertainment of audience. Performances:Prabhas is at his best. His gait, his glow, his performance and confidence carried the movie happily. Kajal enticed audiences with her magnetism. Shradhdha Das, although had small role, she made her presence felt. Mukesh Rishi is ok as goon but he has lighter vein characterization. Chandramohan, Ahuti Prasad, Prabhu, Tulasi, MS Narayana are all ok. Sivannarayana performs comedy up to the perfection with his single dialogue ‘tinnaaaraa..!!??”. Kota has no dialogue at all in the film. Music is bad. Background score is poor. If those were good, the movie would have scored well among audience. It is single line story but narrated in three layers. It’s all screenplay technique that which may be liked by many. Analysis:Watching this movie is not like eating an apple or banana but like chewing an orange. You need to spit the seeds and enjoy the rest. It surely entertains but lacks in consistency. It’s good in bits and pieces but cannot be declared ‘wholesome wonder’. The major asset for this movie Prabhas who handled the audience with his great looks and confident performance. Female audiences definitely feel ectopic tintinnabulations in their heart. Action part, generally finds it difficult to get encomiums.
But Peter Heins stood as top entertainer in this movie with his wonderful composition of fights. The best parts of the movie are:PrabhasPeter Hein’s fight compositions‘Kadupu Manta’ scene between Prabhas and Srinivas ReddyInka Edo song picturizationWatching Hyderabad with Switzerland snowfall The director has rightly used the technical elements to make the movie a pleasant feel to watch. The entire movie has got elevated in picture quality due to DI and other effects. Technically on a whole, with editing, cinematography and CG stands great. But the main factor of the movie, the music, is unpleasant. RR is also very weak and failed to bring in right elevation for narration. First half is entertaining but declares to be a fiction by interval (watch it to get clarity). Second half is on beaten track with predictable screenplay. Climax is crisp and closed on lighter note without any extraaaas.
The film has got the muscle to run in theatres for some time with summer factor and bits and pieces of entertainment. Bottom Line: Watch it without big expectations. It will not disappoint you.
