RATING FOR THE MOVIE:- 3/5... Cheers for Cinematography, Music, Direction and Pawan Kalyan

The rest of the story is all about what heppens when Bhagwan orders the killing of his loyal man Jai.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

This movie starts off with Style, Style and only Style from the Titles till the end. Pawan Kalyan was looking awesome in his new look and acted to his best in this movie as a Mafia guy cum a splendid lover. Anjali Lavania was looking good but her role was not that great. Sara Jane had a good role in the movie and executed it well.

Sesh acted well as a psycho guy, Jackie Shroff & Atul Kulakarni did a good job. Ali, Bramhanamdam and Jhansi were not utilised to the core. All the other actors did their job pretty well.

This movie is a pakka directors movie. Each and every frame in the movie was looking planned and natural. Director didn't leave any space to criticize him on screen. Screenplay in the movie was slow. Cinematography was Awesome. Effects and post production work was to the mark. Background score and Music were Outstanding. Action sequences were shot exceptionally well.

The Plus points of the movie are;

1) Pavan Kalyan's Dance in Two songs - Paparayudu and Panjaa title song,
2) Great Cinematography,
3) Background Music and Songs,
4) Pavan Kalyan himself,
5) Action Sequences.

Some Minus points of the movie are;

1) Slow Screenplay,
2) Less Humor in the movie,
3) Old kinda story.

Overall, this movie is not for mass audience. This movie will be loved by Pavan Kalyan's fans and for the audience who love to watch different kinda movies.

"PANJAA" is a pakka one time watch and thumbs up for Pavan Kalyan for choosing a subject and a director who is damn different....

"ROCKSTAR" Review

RATING FOR THE MOVIE:- 2.9/5... Not a Movie related to Music... Its an Eternal Love Story...

TAG FOR THE MOVIE:- Story of a ROCKSTAR whoz madly in Love with a Married Gurl...

Summary of the Story:-

This is a Story of a simple guy who wants to become a Rockstar. His dad insists him to face the pain in life to become a star. He proposes a girl (Nargis Fakhri) in the beginning of the movie. She rejects. But, later both become good friends who do all the craziest things in life. After 2 months of their friendship Nargis Fakhri gets married and settles in Europe leaving Ranbhir Kapoor in India.

Ranbhir Kapoor goes to Europe for a show and finds Nargis Fakhri there. Again they enjoy some quality time for few days. Ranbhir goes mad in her love and enters her house to meet her. He gets arrested by the police there and he comes back to India.
Meanwhile, his album which gets recorded in Europe named "NEGATIVE" gets released worldwide and Ranbhir becomes a star.

The next part of the story continous with how Ranbhir and Nargis meet each other and how Ranbhir behaves as a 'ROCKSTAR'.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

Imtiaz Ali has been one of my favorite directors since "JAB WE MET". Seeing the posters and publicity of this movie the mindset of the audience says that this movie is related to music only. But, this movie is a blend of more Love, Romance, Drama and less proportion of music.

1st half of the movie was really impressive and as always Imtiaz Ali has given the actress the Best role he could give. Nargis role was good in the movie. Ranbhir acted well; Nargis was really looking cute and she also acted well. Romantic scenes were shot decently. Music was Awesome in the movie. I felt as if i was watching A.R Rahman's direct movie after a very long time. 'SADDA HAQ' was a song which was shot phenomenally well and the music was also amazing. All the songs were good. This movie will be a feast for A.R Rahman's fans.

2nd half of the movie was very draggy, boring and many songs included in a row which made the movie more boring.Nargis role in 2nd half made people leave their seats. Audience who were expecting more and more music in 2nd half of the movie were disappointed with the draggy devdas kind of love story.

Overall, Music was Awesome in 'ROCKSTAR'... Other than Music i dont think movie is worth watching.

Thumbs Down for Imtiaz Ali's "ROCKSTAR"... I give '2.9/5' for B.O.R.I.N.G R.O.C.K.S.T.A.R.... This Movie is just good in parts.

*Note:- Please don't watch this movie in multiplexes if you really want to enjoy the Music of A.R Rahman.

"RA.ONE" Review

TagLine for this Movie:- "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OVERUSED"

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 2.5/5... Frankly, Unbelievable Crap Stuff!!!

Summary of the Story:-

Movie starts with a company in which Sekhar (SRK) works to make video games which are a blend of artificial intelligence. Sekhar and his team succeed to make a game which has an interface with Humans also. But, unfortunately the programming in the game messes up before it gets released. Sekhar's Daugther Pratik is a gaming freak and she plays the game on its launch conference itself. The 2 main characters in the game are RA.ONE (VILLIAN) and G.ONE (HERO) of the game. Sekhar's daugher completes the first stage of the game and enters into the 2nd stage of the game where Sekhar's colleague pauses the game in between and asks pratik to leave the game there itself.

But, RA.ONE in the game targets the player pratik who has played the game and comes out of the game in the form of a Robot. This Robot kills Sekhar and starts searching for pratik (Sekhar's Daughter). The only person who can end RA.ONE is G.ONE. The whole rest of the story is how G.ONE saves pratik and kareena from RA.ONE and how RA.ONE is being killed by G.ONE.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

I liked the beginning part of the movie where i felt that there was something different in the movie. But, as the movie went on; the tempo of the movie was totally lost. First half of the movie was better than the second half. I really couldn't understand how SRK spend 160 crores for such a weak concept.

SRK acted well in the role of Sekhar where I loved the way he used tamil mixed dialogues. I somewhere felt that SRK didnt suit to the super hero role of G.ONE. Kareena's role was very less. The Kid played a very important and cute role as SRK's daughter which was awesome. Arjun Rampal has a small role which was not worth. Sanjay dutt & Priyanka chopra played a cameo.

The best part in the movie was "SUPERSTAR RAJNIKANTH's" Entrance where people were shouting like anything. 2nd Best thing in this movie was "CHAMMAK CHALLO" track where SRK did dance well. Music was average. Stunts were average.

Graphic work in "RA.ONE" was good; but, not as good as the Best of near past. Direction, Screenplay, Story and concept were weak.

Overall, RA.ONE has got not many plus points to speak. Rather, it was a big disaster. Lot of money was wasted for a movie which was really a crap set.

I rate this movie 2.5/5 and I hope that people wont enter into the theatres of RA.ONE if they want to be happy in their life....

Super Thumbs Down for SRK's RA.ONE.....

"ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA" Review

TagLine for this Movie:- "LIVE LIFE - KING SIZE"

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 3.3/5... A True story which shows the meaning of life and the way to lead the life.

Summary of the Story:-

This is a story comprising of 3 friends Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akthar and Abhay Deol. Hrithik is a guy who leads life for money and commits more to his work. Abhay is a guy who gets engaged with Kalki and an easy - go - lucky types. Farhan is a guy who never thinks of future and enjoys life every second. All these 3 guys plan for a holiday in Spain. All 3 friends plan one favor each that should be done by other two. Abhay plans for Scuba diving. Katrina is the trainer for Scuba driving and she meets Hrithik as a trainer. Hrithik plans for Sky diving. Farhan plans for Bull fight. The whole story revolves around the learnings of each character & way of living life.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

I loved the Story, Screenplay and the clean script of the movie. The movie was very cool for each and every second. 1st half of the movie was fantastic. 2nd half was a bit draggy; but, the screenplay and strong script maintains the movie with the same momentum.

Dialogues penned by Farhan Akthar were Excellent. I feel that Farhan is soon gonna reach his father Javed Akthar in writing dialogues. Cinematography of the movie was excellent. Editing was very clean. Music was another major asset of the movie. All the tracks were fantastic. Background music was also Awesome.

Hrithik was not looking that handsome. Katrina was looking great as always. Farhan's comedy timing was amazing. Abhay also acted decently well. All the places shown in the movie were scenic.

Overall, the plus points of this movie is Music, Story, Concept and direction. I have seen Zoya Akthar's(Director) "LUCK BY CHANCE" few years back. This movie also have all the elements of freshness like "LUCK BY CHANCE" and amazing with an amazing story.

I rate this movie 3.3/5 and suggest each and every reader to watch this movie to understand the flavour of life and how to enjoy life. Thumbs up for "ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA"... Pakka One time Watch...

"BADRINATH" Review..

TagLine for this Movie:- Badri as a guy who is the saviour of "Badrinath"...

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 2.9/5...A story which would never suit 'Allu Arjun'...

Summary of the Story:-

Badri (Allu Arjun) is a guy who gets selected to become the saviour of the temple "BADRINATH" by his guru Prakash Raj. Alakanada (Tammanna) who doesnt believes god enters Badrinath for a different cause. She falls in love with Badri. As this story goes on, Prakash Raj takes promise from Badri's parents that he would make Badri the main person of the sacred place Badrinath and he takes a word from his parents that Badri shouldn't marry anyone and stay as a bachelor for Badrinath forever. Remaining part of the story revolves around the villian who tries to marry Tamanna and how Badri crosses the word given to Prakash Raj and marries Tamanna at the end.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

Firstly, I didnt like the story line of this movie. I couldn't understand why did the writer (Chinni Krishna) took few years to write such a story which was truly predictable and impact less. I would say that the director (V.V Vinayak) couldn't do justice to the screenplay. Rather he was carried away by the story writer and concentrated more on Badri's characterization and art work of Badrinath. Allu Arjun also made a very big mistake by selecting such kind of story which was totally out of his image and the what people expect from the stylish star.

1st half of the movie was good for me. The art direction was excellent and the graphic work done was also good. Allu Arjun again proved that no other actor can beat him in dance after the groovy and stylish moves in almost all songs. Dance was awesome in the songs "In the Night, Ambadari & Nath Nath Badrinath". If anyone reading this review is ready to try those steps, please take a break of minimum one month to practice those moves. 2nd half of the movie was more of violence rather than story which was again a letdown.

Positives of this movie are Allu Arjun's Dance, Sizzling Tamanna, Huge worthy sets, Art Work & songs. Negatives of this movie are Story, Screenplay, Over violence, Comedy, Movie length and many more.

Allu Arjun acted really well in this movie. Tamanna also matched the dancing saga of Arjun. She was looking very cute. Comedians were there; but, were not utilized properly. Background Music by M.M.Keeravani was utlimate soul of the movie.

Overall, the plus points of this movie is Allu Arjun, Dance & Songs. After few years, I have seen people going totally crazy to almost all songs in the movie. The whole theater was electrifying with whistles only for the songs. Apart from the Songs, Dances, Background Music and Arjun, there is nothing much worth to watch "Badrinath". I loved the style of Allu arjun and long hair really suited him well. The dressing was also different. Allu Arjun really did a lot of hard work in this movie. His body was not that great; but, the sword fights were commendable. Cinematography by Ravi Varma is excellent. Art work was also Superb.

I rate this movie 2.9/5 and I feel that this movie properly would be collecting good money in the first one week only. My suggestion would be to watch Badrinath "ONLY ONE TIME" for mere time pass. Please don't expect and go. You will enjoy more. Allu Arjun's fans would literally feel bad after watching "BADRINATH"...

Salman Khan's "READY" Review...

TagLine for this Movie:- Love + Family Package...Don't expect and go to this movie. You might Enjoy...

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 2.9/5... Humourless Comedy... Difficult to Laugh... See this movie only for Salman and Dhinka Chika...

Summary of the Story:-

Salman Khan (Prem) is a guy who is interested in marrying others. Asin (Sanjana) is a girl who comes out of her house to rescue her own marriage. She fortunately enters into Salman's House in the place of another girl. Asin is a rich girl and 2 villains who are her uncles try to marry her with their sons for the property. The whole movie is a game plan played by Salman Khan to rescue her girl friend from the villains and marry her.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

I am personally disappointed with this movie as Salman was in great form after a movie like "Dabbang". I felt this movie a bit draggy due to the bad comedy where people were finding it difficult to laugh for a comedy scene.

1st half of the movie starts with "Character Dheela" number with exotic Zarine Khan; but, lacks the content till the interval. Post Interval the movie was a bit interesting till the end as "Paresh Rawal" (Bhramhanandam in Telugu) does a decent play in the drama.The climax of the movie was a bit let down with the meaningless disgusting fights.

Overall, the plus points of this movie is Salman Khan & Songs. People were absolutely going crazy for "DHINKA CHIKA" number. Special thanks to Devi Sri Prasad for that super number. Apart from proper songs, "READY" has nothing much to offer or entertain.Salman Khan was looking Fab as usual. Asin was looking sick and not at all matching Salman Khan.

I rate this movie 2.9/5 and I am a bit disturbed seeing this movie after a super "DABANG". People who love Salman and if they dont have any other option for a movie, try "READY"... Thumbs down for SALMAN KHAN's READY....

Note:- This movie's base story is similar to Telugu READY; but 60% of the movie has been changed. I felt telugu READY was far far better when compared to Salman Khan's READY. The only difference maker was "Mr. Bramhanandam"...

"100% LOVE" REVIEW"

TagLine for this Movie:- "BALU IS GREAT"... Being the BEST always involves ego and jealous though its a girl or love...

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 3.4/5... 1st half for unmatured youth and 2nd half for families... Less Matured story... Fully Entertaining...

Summary of the Story:-

This is a story of a guy named Balu( Naga Chaitanya) who always leads his life as a winner and he maintains himself as a topper in his college throughout his college career. Then comes a girl in his life who is her relation named Mahalakshmi (Tamanna) who overtakes Balu and stands first. There is another competitor for both Balu and Mahalakshmi named Ajith.This whole story revolves as Balu and Mahalakshmi making strategies to win on Ajith and the love story also goes on...

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

Firstly, i liked the titles of the movie. The style of the titles was very creative. As in all Sukumar's movies, this story also had a pinch of different story line.But, the 1st half of the story is a little bit childish. 2nd half had some parts which were a bit boring, but, Sukumars direction never makes it feel draggy.

Naga Chaitanya was far better than Josh and YMC in this movie. Tamanna was really beautiful in sarees especially. Songs were good. Screenplay was apt. Cinematography was adequate. Story was just ok. Costumes were Trendy...

Overall, 100% Love is a 100% cool watch in this hot summer. This movie is youthful, cute, peppy and some nice touchy moments too.. A Pakka Youthful Entertainer to both Young and Old audience.. Cheers for "100% Love'... Sukumar's good form continues...

"NENU NAA RAKSHASI" REVIEW

TagLine for this Movie:- Suicide...Suicide...Suicide... Suicide for Audience in 2nd half....

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 3/5... New Concept...Worst Narration and Worst screenplay...

Summary of the Story:-

Movie starts with suicide of Ileana and goes on with the intro of Hero Abhi(Rana Daggubati). Rana Daggubati is a professional killer and Ileana runs maintains a small group of videos in Youtube where she captures the videos of the people who want to commit suicide. Police officer (Subbaraju) tries to find Ileana for doing this illegal activity. The next part of the story is the flashback of Ileana and why Rana Daggubati becomes a professional Killer...

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

The first half of the movie was awesome with a kind of variety movie starts with. People feel the movie very catchy till the end of 1st half. The main letdown of the movie is 2nd half where the director goes to all sides of the globe to shatter the movie.

Puri Jagannath lost the whole story in the 2nd half where people find it so boring and very draggy. Music was adequate. Songs in 1st half were far better than second half. Background score was good. Fights were perfect for Rana. Cinematography was good. Ali and Mumaith were not utilized to the mark. Dialogues were not that commendable as in "Pokiri".

Rana Daggubati has done a good job from his side. But, the character that Rana played really didn't add much value as a role for him. After playing some decent roles in Leader and Dum Maro Dum, Rana didn't suit in this role where he needed to act in a Rash manner. Audience may not like him in these kind of roles, where he was segmented more as a class hero. As a common thing, Rana was looking fab in Tees and his costumes were awesome. Girls would love to see him on screen for a long time.

Ileana's role was more than Rana in this movie due to the dual character played by her. She was looking very beautiful and costumes were perfect for her. But, there was no much chemistry shown between Rana and Ileana in the movie.

If i need to speak about Puri Jagannath, I would like to salute him for coming up with new concept in Telugu industry; but, would curse him for the worst screenplay and the kind of treatment he has given to the movie in 2nd half.

Overall, the most awaited movie "NENU NAA RAKSHASI" is a Big letdown from Puri Jagannath disappointing all his fans after a very decent movie "Golimaar"... Thumbs down for "Nenu Naa Rakshasi"....

"DUM MARO DUM" REVIEW

TagLine for this Movie:- Drugs se saat Police Ka Khel...

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 3.15/5... Routine story...New kind of "CHOR POLICE"...

Summary of the Story:-

This story revolves around drugs and police in Goa. It deals with the lives in Drug Mafia and how the real drug parties go around in Goa. This small storyline was shown as a base and the whole movie runs around drugs, sex and police....

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

The first half of the movie was fantastic with 3 different mini stories getting interrelated with each other and getting a feel that somethings happening. The 2nd half of the movie was a very big letdown with draggy part of the small base story line and all the characters gettin killed one after another.

Music was superb. All the 4 songs were fantastic. The item song which comes at the end with "Deepika Padukone" was hot and sizziling. Music was a real big asset. People will feel the music. Cinematography was adequate. Characterization was good. Screenplay was weak in 2nd half.

Abhishek Bacchan came back with a Bang on performance after a series of flops. Rana was superb in the movie. Bollywood will accept Rana for sure after this movie. Bipasha and all other characters acted well....

Overall, "DUM MARO DUM" is a good one time watch for time pass... Dont expect it to be a thriller.. Its just a normal "CHOR POLICE" ka khel.... Thumbs Up for "DUM MARO DUM"...

Strict Note:- Dont go to this movie with elders and parents...

"TEEN MAAR" REVIEW

TagLine for this Movie:- Celebration of Love...Threesome...

RATING OF THE MOVIE :- 3.2/5... Variety Story... Slow Screenplay.... Good dialogues... Super songs....Pavan Kalyan back with a bang as fans wanted him....

Summary of the Story:-

This movie is a total pakka makeover of the movie "Love Aaj Kal"... The movie revolves between two characters Micheal and Arjun who have different thoughts on love and life after love. The whole movie runs with the views and mindsets of these two characters.

Overall Analysis of the Movie :-

I would like to discuss the best parts of the movie before goin to the negatives. The best part of this movie is "STORYLINE" of the movie. I loved the way the dialogues were given by Trivikram. The second best thing in this movie is "COSTUMES" of the movie. All the costumes were apt according to the roles in the movie. Music was adequate. Background score of the movie was not upto the mark. Pavan Kalyan did all the magic on screen. He danced, laughed, cried, jumped, flirted, kissed.... to entertain. He did justice to both the roles played by him. Trisha bagged a meaningful role after a long time. 2nd heroine Kriti also did a fine job. There was no much role left for the new girl Donna...

If i had to speak about the negatives of the movie, i felt that audience expect more faster screenplay for a Pavan Kalyan's movie. Screenplay was a bit slow in both first and second half of the movie. Direct dubbing was a big letdown experiment of the movie. One more comedian like Bramhanandam would had made a great change on the screen. Director was continuously trying to change the movie from "LAK", where he lost grip on the screenplay. Liplock of Pavan Kalyan with Trisha was a surprise pack...

All the supporting characters did their job well... Cinematography was good... Some fights were unneccesary... Editing was Adequate... Music was good... Songs were good..


Overall, the 1st half of the movie is more youthful and peppy and the 2nd half was a bit slow for this movie which gave this movie a Mixed Talk. The Music of the movie was an asset. Some parts of the movie which showed the facts of the love were appreciable. The run time of the movie was adequate.

At last, I give a 3.2/5 for this movie due to strong storyline, Pavan Kalyan & Trivikram. This movie is a sure "ONE TIME WATCH". This flick is for both youth and audience of 30+ as the storyline is related to everyone..People will love the characters of Micheal and Arjun and start comparing their own love stories with it.

We still need to see the response for this movie from all centers as i feel that this story may not be easily digested by B & C center audience...

"TEEN MAAR".... Pakka One time Watch... Treat for Pavan Kalyan fans... Back with a proper love story after a long time.....
