RATING:
2/5

Aatadukundam Raa Movie Review

Nagarjuna's nephew Sushanth's latest film Aatadukundam Raa promos have shown some promise. Nageswara Reddy's decent track record has definitely attracted the buyers. That is the reason why Aatadukundam Raa theatrical business was closed many days prior to its release. Film buffs and the trade expected a decent comedy out of Aatadukundam Raa, but what Nageswara Reddy offered was a stale template of dated storyline and unfunny comedy sequences.

What is it about?

Karthik (Sushanth) comes to solve the problems of his uncle Anand Rao (Murali Sharma). He is on a mission to teach a lesson to the bad guys. Meanwhile, he falls in love with Anand Rao's daughter Shruthi (Sonam Bajwa). Although Karthik seems to be helping Anand Rao and his family, there is a hidden secret about him. He comes to Anand Rao's house in disguise. There is a reason for him to take up this mission.

Performances:

Sushanth has tried new hairdo and look. Bearded look suited him. He is fluid in dances but hasn't improved as an actor. He is still struggling to mouth dialogues. Sonam Bajwa is a very bad actress and has totally depended upon skin show to make her presence felt. Brahmanandam's lengthy comedy track isn't funny. Prudhvi did alright within his limitations. Murali Sharma's dignified presence and performance are noteworthy. Posani is as loud as usual. Most of the remaining star cast is wasted in insignificant roles. Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni did cameos which should impress fans.

Technicalities:


Nageswara Reddy is known for making decent comedies, but he seemed totally out of place this time. Dated story didn't give him much scope for innovation and even the so called comedy scenes didn't turn out as expected. This will go down as one of his bad works for sure.

Anup's music is mediocre. Palleku Podam remix is the only song that leaves an impression. Editing is bad as there are too many jump cuts. Camera work is okay but the graphics are tacky. Dialogues are dull and pale. Production values are average.

Thumbs Up:


Sushanth's best look to date.

Thumbs Down:


Story

Screenplay

Direction

Editing

Analysis:


Sushanth has got his styling right, but sadly he chose a very bad script for his makeover. Nageswara Reddy who is known to be a reliable director messed it up big time. The film starts off on a sensible note, but suddenly goes down the hill after it switches to comedy. The director relied too much upon comedy that he has totally lost the track of the plot after a point.

Had the director stick with the plot, the film would have seemed a bit better. There won't be any complaints if the comedy is bang on the target. When the director and writers fails to get the comedy right then everything seems farcical and boring. Aatadukundam Raa is a plain silly film with absolutely no stuff in it.

They have used every trick in the book to make it a watchable fare, but none of it worked including the cameos of Chay and Akhil. Second half is a bit better compared to the totally worthless first half. Aatadukundam Raa is so bad that it couldn't hit any high note at any point of time. It almost looked like the team has given it up midway as if they knew that no one could save this mess. Take our advice and save yourself from this nonsense.

Verdict: Game of 'Thorns'!

Chuttalabbayi

August 20th, 2016, 04:16 AM IST
Chuttalabbayi
MOVIE:Chuttalabbayi
RATING:
2/5
Cast: AadiNamitha PrasadSai Kumar,PrudhviAliAbhimanyu Singh and Others
Directed by: Veerabhadram
Produced by: Venkat Talari, Ram Talluri
Banner: Shri Aishwarya Lakshmi Movies
Music by: Thaman
Release Date: 2016-08-20
 

Chuttalabbayi Movie Review

It has been a while since Lovely Star Aadi has delivered a hit. After a series of flop films, Aadi has teamed up with Veerabhadram, who made Bhai with Nagarjuna earlier. Both the director and hero are in bad shape and in desperate need of a success. Will Chuttalabbayi be the break they were looking for?

What is it about?

Babji (Aadi) is a recovery agent who bumps into Kavya (Namita), sister of a strict police officer. Kavya's brother mistakes that Babji is after his sister. Babji is pushed into a situation where he had to accompany Kavya who is running away from home. While policemen are searching for Babji and Kavya, another group of people start hunting for Kavya. Babji and Kavya are saved by Dorababu (Sai Kumar) when they were attacked by the two groups. Who is Dorababu? Why did he save the couple?

Performances:

Aadi is picking roles that don't give him any scope to show his acting chops. Looks like he is obsessed with action hero image as he is choosing similar kind of characters in every film. He has been turned down by the audience in similar characters before, but Aadi is forcing them to accept him doing the same stuff. Namitha Pramod got the looks and talent. She is a treat to watch. Sai Kumar did a powerful character that adds value to the film. Abhimanyu Singh is okay in the police role. Prudhvi's comedy is the saving grace for this film. Ali's cameo towards the climax offered few laughs.

Technicalities:

Veerabhadram plays it safe with a template story and screenplay. Chuttalabbayi doesn't offer a wee bit of freshness in any form. Director has to blame himself for writing such a weak script. Thaman's music is a plus. Arun Kumar's camera work also is impressive. Production values are good but the editing is a letdown.

Thumbs Up:

A couple of songs
Prudhvi comedy

Thumbs Down:

Script and execution
Bland characters
Boring second half

Analysis:

First half of the film is passable with routine comedy and action episodes. Second half is absolutely boring with repetitive scenes and weak villains. Veerabhadram banked upon Prudhvi and Ali's comedy to bail this one out. Prudhvi almost pulled it off with his act as Ego Reddy. Director committed a blunder by concluding Prudhvi's character at the interval point.

Extending Prudhvi's role would have made it a better one as the second half struggled due to lack of comedy. Underutilizing the characters of Sai Kumar and Abhimanyu Singh didn't help either. We expect something like Pandem Kodi kind of action in the second hour after looking at Sai Kumar's introduction.

None of the characters are properly etched and the film has suffered a lot because of it. Veerabhadram rehashed comedy episodes and sentiment scenes from other films to make this work. He even went on to copy a fight scene from NTR's Brindavanam. Despite all that Chuttalabbayi ended up as a boring fare. Aadi should hereby be careful with his script selection as he may not get many offers if he continues to fail like this.

Verdict: Boring Babai.

Mega fans that have been waiting for the first look of Megastar's comeback film Khaidi No. 150 are treated to not one but two posters of the film from this morning.

First poster didn't reveal Chiranjeevi's face, but the second poster is strikingly powerful with Megastar's intense look.

This poster reminds us of Chiranjeevi from powerful message oriented dramas like Tagore and Stalin. VV Vinayak, the man behind Tagore seems to have got the look and feel right for Megastar's 150th film also. Khaidi No. 150 also has a strong social message with loads of commercial elements.

First look of the film lives up to its tagline 'Boss is Back' and it will only rise the already high expectations of fans on Chiranjeevi's 150.

The makers have released a motion poster along with these posters. We have to wait and see if there are more surprises in waiting for Mega fans as the first look launch will take place at Shilpakala Vedika this evening.

As Mogali Rekulu fame Sagar is testing his luck on silver screen with forthcoming film Siddhartha, the film's recently released teaser has come as a surprise for many who couldn't believe Sagar to go extra mile in action sequences. The teaser over one-minute saw Sagar flexing his muscles as he's set on high-octane action scenes. In addition to it, Mani Sharma's background score seems to have worked.

Though the film's story has been kept under the wraps, the teaser however slightly gives us a peep into the film and Sagar's role. The premise of the film has been revealed. Sagar wants to forget his memories, wounds but his past seems to be haunting him like a shadow. What's his past? What's haunting him and why? How would he overcome is what Siddhartha is all about.

Sagar is romancing with Sakshi Chowdary in the film directed by KV Dayanand. Thanks to Prawin Pudi's editing, the teaser is crisp and the production values seem to be decent. Dasari Kiran, who is producing controversial Vangaveeti with Ram Gopal Varma, is bankrolling the film and the film is cranked by noted cameraman S Gopal Reddy.

However, the big test is for Sagar as it needs to be seen whether he would prove himself as commercial hero since he's trying more action.

Recently heroine turned MP, Kannada actress Ramya (Divya Spandana) has stated that Pakistan may not be hell, while addressing a women's rally in Mandya, Karnataka.

Talking about the same, Ramya said, "I would have apologised, but if I do in this case, the larger cause we're fighting for would go". While Ramya belongs to Congress party, other opposition holders are now taking dig at her.

Making a film with a single hero is easy, but surely making a movie with two heroes is the toughest thing. From making them accept the roles to handling them on sets, it's a mammoth task. 

"I didnt picked Shourya because he's my Oohalu Gusagusalade hero. But I've written Anand character keeping him in mind. Then I've approached Nara Rohit, but felt afraid if he would accept the role. First he said yes, then I felt after two days he may reject. Fortunately he's game for the role", said Avasarala, talking about casting these two heroes as leads in Jyo Atchyutananda. 

Furthermore he added that director Mohankrishna Indraganti, producer Sai Korrapati and music composer Kalyana Ramana (alias Kalyani Malik) are his pillars of strength here. He added that this composer encouraged him during tough times when he's not getting chances to direct.

New Delhi: Actress Ileana D'Cruz says her monsoon beauty mantra involves a good cleanse ritual and use of the right moisturiser.

Ileana, the face of Pond's White Beauty, has a special skincare ritual for the monsoon. She has shared it for her fans:

* Cleansing: While we all love the rains, w

e often underestimate the damage this sticky weather can do to our skin. I ditch my regular cleansers for a light gel-based face wash. It removes the dead cells, unclogs pores and helps retain the skin's natural glow. Cleanse at least two to three times a day and use a soft cloth in place of a towel to dab dry your face. This will avoid stripping off essential oils. 

* Moisturising: Even though it is sticky and humid outside, your skin still needs a light moisturiser to keep it naturally radiant and hydrated. Using moisturisers that come with Pro-Vitamin B3 has also helped me combat dark spots and reduced dark circles. 

* Even though there is water pouring around, make sure there's enough going into your system. I double my intake of water to make sure my skin is hydrated. This also strengthens your immunity from skin infections the monsoon brings in.

The thunderous response from the audiences for the film's trailer is proof for the craze of the biopic of Dhoni.

Film affairs wing of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), Chitrapat Karmachari Sena (CKS) has objected to the idea of dubbing the Hindi film in Marathi. The regional political outfit opines that dubbing the much awaited Hindi film in Marathi language will pose threat to the regional Marathi films, which are already facing shortage of theatres due to the invasion of Hindi films.

CKS President said that Maharashtra people know Hindi and if they want to see 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story', they could watch it in Hindi. The party asked the producers of 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' not to dub the movie in Marathi or they will protest against the release of the Hindi version as well.

Recently he made story of Anantapur faction politics into two part film, Raka Charitra 1 and 2, and impressed. Now, his focus got shifted to slain gangster Nayeem's life and he will make a three part film. 

Apparently RGV's statement reads:

Just gathered entire information on Nayeemuddin from multiple sources..His crimes over the years are full of truly hair rising details. Nayeemuddin's transformation from a naxalite to a police informant to a underworld gangster to become an all time Criminal no.1 is scary. Nayeemuddin's story is so complex and with so much of content that it's impossible to justify it by telling it in only one feature film. Am going to make a 3 part film on the Nayeem story. Rakthacharitra had only two parts, Nayeem will have 3 parts. 

Till date Ram Gopal Varma has made many film announcements including Vangaveeti, but none actually came out. So, let's see what happens.

The controversial Lip-lock scene of Nayantara with a School Kid in her latest Tamil movie 'Thirunaal' raised many eye-brows. Child Rights Activists launched protests complaining that such scenes will have a bad impact on the children. They even demanded the makers to chop off the kissing scene with immediate effect.   

Director Ramanadhan issued a clarification to end the controversy. 'Firstly, People should notice the innocence of the Kid upon watching the scene. Even Censor Board approved it without suggesting any cuts. We have even conveyed a good message in the Climax but no one is appreciating it. People continue to focus only on this particular sequence. If its really objectionable, Why would someone like Nayantara would be part of it? Why don't you think from that angle?,' he questioned.

The Filmmaker opined that few people were deliberately making a hue and cry over every aspect in the recent past. He claims to done nothing wrong before appealing people to treat it just like any other scene in the movie.

Movie Review: Thikka

Rating: 1.5/5

Cast: Sai Dharam Tej, Larissa Bonesi, Mannara Chopra, Rajendra Prasad, Ajay, Ali, Satya, Saptagiri, Anand, Raghubabu, Posani Krishna Murali and Others.

Cinematography: KV Guhan

Music: SS Thaman

Story: Dawood

Screenplay: Dawood-Suneel Reddy

Direction: Sunil Reddy

Release Date: 13th August 2016

After a disaster like 'OM' with Kalyan Ram, Director Sunil Reddy took a long gap and finally arrived with 'Thikka'. Teaming up with a hat-trick hero like Sai Dharam Tej has certainly helped the project generate good buzz. Did Sunil Reddy bounced back or not?

Synopsis:

Anjali (Larissa Bonesi) enters into the life of Aadi (Sai Dharam Tej) after an accident and changes him completely from thereafter. However, The Love Birds call for break-up after Anjali complains Aadi doesn't love her as much as she love him. That's when Aadi hosts a break-up party in a bar. It was then few new characters enter the scene one after the other only to complicate the situation. What has Aadi done to come out of this mess and win the heart of Anjali again forms the rest of the tale.

Performances:

Audience were clueless how a Hero like Sai Dharam Tej has accepted such a subject. Except for Dances, Nothing much to talk about him. He should be very careful while choosing the scripts, else such duds will follow.

None of the female leads, Larissa Bonesi and Mannara Chopra were impressive. Better not to discuss about their acting skills. 

Rajendra Prasad is wasted. The look of Ali and the kind of make-up used for his bald-head is worse. Rest of the actors too failed to make an any impact.

Pros:

Music

Cinematography

Production Values

Cons:

Performances

Screenplay

Direction

Technicalities:

The best part about 'Thikka' would be the music of SS Thaman. 'Nee Kosam', 'Vellipoke' and Title Track were impressive. Background Score is good. KV Guhan did a splendid job. Dialogues were poorly written. Production Values were rich. One must say Director Sunil Reddy learnt nothing from 'OM' failure. He wasted so much money on a project which neither had a decent story nor gripping screenplay.

Analysis:

Yes, The title 'Thikka' & tagline 'Unlimited' are so apt for this project. Telugu Audience mayn't have watched a such a crap in the recent past. Makers of 'Thikka' showed how a film can be made with a terrible characterizations, senseless screenplay and below par performances. 

15 Minutes into the film, Viewer would start scratching his/her head as no one knows why so many silly characters come and go during the course of the movie. The confusion created by countless artistes will test the patience of audience within the First Half. One need to have lot of courage to watch the latter half of the movie.

Basically, 'Thikka' is based on the incidents in the life of the Youth in a span of one day. In almost all the scenes, At least one actor will be seen holding a liquor bottle in his hand. Particularly, Hero behaves as if he can't live without it. Either the lead actor would be seen drinking one bottle after the other or bash up people.

Although the run time is just 2 hr 20 min, 'Thikka' is hardly watchable. No one knows why the Director burnt the pocket of the Producer with unwanted chasing scenes, fights and songs. The Burqa comedy which lasts for 30 minutes is painful to watch. Don't be surprised if you feel 'Rey' is better than 'Thikka' after stepping into the theatres.

Bottomline:
 Unbearable Thikka!

Here comes the 40 year old red-hot lady Malaika Arora, who's always making sure that her hot charms are going to be a feast for fans. 

From couple of years, Malaika is just rocking shoots and fashion shows by flaunting her hot curves which defy her age. For the newest photoshoot of popular "Hello" magazine, she has once again slipped into her favourite two piece dress. 

Though Malaika flaunted similar look recently during her Maldives outing with her kids, here comes her charms upclose. Seen in a light green bikini here, Malaika's never ending glamour is what makes her more attractive. 

Probably this hottie should sizzle more on silver screen in item numbers like Munni Badnam Hui. As Salman announced Dabang 3 already, who knows, she may scorch screen again.

Almost all those who had worked with director Krish attended his marriage a couple of days ago. Though he made a very few films, he carved a niche for himself with his talent in making films.

And he has no dearth of friends in the industry; and so, his marriage was attended by who's who of the Telugu film industry. It even had a political colour with several Telugu Desam Party leaders gracing the occasion.

And there was glamour too at the wedding function, with several heroines who had worked with him, making their presence felt, particularly Pragya Jaiswal and Kamalini Mukherjee.

The only heroine who was conspicuous by her absence was Anushka, who had more proximity with Krish than any other heroine who had worked with him.

Anushka acted in "Vedam" made by Krish and since then, both of them became very good friends. They used to be seen together in several film functions, including awards presentation events.

At one stage, Anushka described Krish as the most eligible bachelor of the film industry. She used to praise Krish a lot personally, too. Naturally, her absence was felt at the wedding of her close friend, especially on the Friendship Day.
