Simha Review

1 2 3 4 5 6 ..Hold on I am not counting the numbers..But years..Yes it’s been almost 6 years since a reasonable good film from BalaKrishna came.So When the New Film is titled “Simha” the name which bought Balayya Ultimate Success, has sprinkled hopes among fans. Also Director Boyapati Sreenu who delivered reasonable hits like Bhadra and Tulasi…mounted up the expectations.

Let’s see how far it could fulfill those expectations..

Story :

Srimanarayana(Balakrishna) is a Lecturer who could not tolerate any indiscipline among his students.Every thing goes well till Sneha Ullal enters the college as the final year student.

What is the problem behind sneha Ullal?

What is the interesting story about his father Laxmi NaraSimha a doctor in Bobbili??are revealed in the high voltage second half

While Namitha sizzles as Co-lecturer in the same college..NayanaTara shines as the wife to other Balayya in second half.

ScreenPlay/Direction :

Boyapati Sreenu should be highly appreciated for presenting BalaKrishna in two different and respectable roles. Screenplay in both halves went almost smoothly except for few liberties taken to include songs and love tracks.

Making Movie with Balakrishna is really tough job.It’s like walking on a rope connecting two mountains!!

Yes a slight miss right from hair style,Dailogues,Fights..Movie falls prey to innumerable funny mails and articles..But Sreenu passed in his effort with good marks.

Direction is cool...with no jerks and jatkas..Offcourse it is routine action and Masala Formula No doubt in it, But Characterizations of the hero are different. Actually the professions he has chosen allowed him to create few good scenes in both first half and Second half.

Analysis (First and Second halves)

First half went pleasantly with love triangle and few good comedy scenes from Ali,VenuMadhav ,Crispy dialogues, a Car chase, Two fights..College back ground is clever indeed.

Scenes on acid attacks and Drugs are received well

Second half presents BalaKrishna in a different get up. Though the entire episodes can be predicted, there are few good scenes like

1. Dialog at police station

2. KR Vijaya Sentiment scene and NayanaTara dialogue scene with Police.

3. Excellent fight scene in pre-climax.

Dialog's scores in all scenes : "nenu maataldeppudu nee chevulu maatramey pani cheyyali..""charithra srustinchalanna..adi tiraga raayalanna maa vamsamey""Padi mandi tho raa..padi padi penchukutoo raa....padi saarlu raa"

Action episodes are canned very well, thanks to the Fight Master.

Actors :

It's BalaKrishna All through..His action and make up in second half is huge asset to movie.He still performed good in dances.Offcourse ample dialogs to amuse the fans.Fights are solid.Nice effort.But he could not cover his age in many scenes in first half .

Sneha Ullal is cute.She looked good in all the scenes.

NayanaTara looked complete;)..Yes with rich costumes..quite different from her bikini shows.She has performed well in few scenes given to her.

Namitha definitely is not for the telugu audience and I am not sure about receiving her in B and C centers.But the role given to her is enjoyable.I felt the Pub song should have been given to some item girl .She is ok in “simhamanti Chinnodey”

KR Vijaya did important role and she is nice. For reference She acted as Balayyas mother in Bhairava dweepam too.Kota sreenivasa Rao is good.

Main villain and his son are nice.Seems like they are malayali’s

Raghu yesteryear actor of ‘Chinnari sneham’ is seen in important role of Sneha Ullals father.

Venumadhav,Ali and KrishnaBhagwan’s satires on software..Marriage are humorous.

Brahmanandam and Jhansi are wasted.

Other Departments and Positive points:

Songs and background score by chakri are good.Simhamanti Chinnodey,Bangaru konda stands out.Even Lakshmi Narasimha kalyanam Song is appealing.

Camera work is excellent.Every scene looks appealing especially in later half.

Drawbacks:

Well all said.. The set up and the scenes are nice but predictable.Nothing that strikes you so hard and make you say “Wow ..this is extra ordinary”.So everything is normal.

So huge expectations on the same might disappoint you.

Though created high voltage,Unavoidabe Bloodshed is seen in all through the second half

Namitha is also a drawback.

Final Verdict :

“Balayya babu tho manchi cinema teeyadam Brahma vidye..”

BoyaPati Sreenu is successful in making a decent and appealing effort since LaxmiNarasimha..

Fans over there can happily enjoy the movie..Others can have a look if they are interested in regular Masala flick we saw in mid 2000’s.

Nice Publicity,Summer time..different Balayya ,Presence of Nayanatara and SnehaUllal will give it reasonable success.

Rating:

For Fans..it is 3.5 Yes because it showcases their fav star in decent way..But for others it might be lesser say 3..!!
