ఎన్ని సార్లు విన్నా …ఎన్ని సార్లు చూసినా…ఇప్పటికీ నవ్యంగా, యెప్పటికీ రసరమ్యంగా ఉండె మహాకావ్యం…“రామాయణం”. ఆ దివ్య కావ్యం ఆధారంగా యెన్నో పౌరాణికాలు…ఇంకెన్నొ సాంఘికాలు వచ్చాయి, మనల్ని మెప్పించాయి…వాటిల్లో ప్రప్రధమంగా చెప్పుకునేది…”లవకుశ” గురించి. యెన్ని యుగాలైన తరగని మేలిమి వజ్రం ఆ చిత్రం. “సంపూర్ణ రామయణం” మొదలుకొని “ముత్యాల ముగ్గు” “శ్రీ రామంజనేయ యుద్దం” ఇలా రామయణాన్ని కాసి వడపోసిన బాపు గారు అలనాటి “లవకుశ” ని నేటి తరానికి కానుకివ్వాలనే సత్సంకల్పం తో తీసిన సినిమా “శ్రీ రామ రాజ్యం”. యలమంచలి సాయి బాబు ఈ చిత్రాన్ని నిర్మించారు. మరి రాముడు ఇంకెవరైయుంటారు….తండ్రి అడుగుజాడల లో మరో అడుగు ముందుకెస్తూ ఈ సాహసానికి పూనుకున్న నందమూరి బాలకృష్ణ…

లవకుశుల కథ: రావణ సంహారం కావించి సీతా సమేతుడై అయొధ్య చేరిన రాముడు, ఎంతో జనరంజకంగా రాజ్యాన్ని పాలిస్తాడు. ఓ చాకలి వాడి నిందలు విన్న రాముడు, గర్భవతి గా ఉన్న సీతని అడవులకు పంపిస్తాడు. రామాయణ గ్రంధ కర్త వాల్మికి ఆశ్రమం లో సీతా దేవి లవకుశులను ప్రసవిస్తుంది. చివరగా ఆ చిన్నారులను తండ్రి వద్దకు ఎలా చేరారు? సీతా రాముల అవతారాలు ఎలా పరిసమాప్తం అయ్యాయి అనేది ముఖ్య కథ.
కట్టే కొట్టే తెచ్చే అని మూడు ముక్కల్లో రామయణాన్ని చెప్పేసుకుంటాం, కాని అసలు గుండెలు పిండె కథ ఆ తరువాతే కథ మొదలు..!!

నటీనటులు…
బాలకృష్ణ…నట జీవితంలొ కలికితురాయి శ్రీ రామ పాత్ర. ఆ మహానుభావుడు, విశ్వ విఖ్యాత నట సార్వభౌముడు నందమూరి తారక రామారావు గారి కొడుకుగా పుట్టిన ౠణాన్ని ఈ విధంగా తీర్చుకునే అవకాశం బాలకృష్ణ కి దక్కింది అని చెప్పొచు. ఆ అవకాశాన్ని తన వంతుగా నెరవేర్చారు బాలయ్య. ఎంతో ఇష్టంగా, నిష్టగా చెసారు కాబట్టి ఎన్నో సార్లు ఎన్.టీ.ఆర్ ని గుర్తు చెస్తూ అద్భుతంగా సాగింది రాముడి పాత్ర. ముఖ్యంగా సీత మీద ఉన్న ప్రేమ ఆ కళ్ళల్లొ బాగా చూపించాదు బాలకృష్ణ.
శ్రీ అక్కినేని నాగేశ్వరరావు గారు వాల్మీకి పాత్ర పొషించడం శ్రీరామరాజ్యం సినిమాకే వన్నె తెచ్చింది. నాగయ్య గారిని మరిపించగల సత్తా మరి ఆయనకే ఉంది.

సీతమ్మ అంటె యెప్పటికి అంజలి దేవి గారే. నిజంగా సీతమ్మ తల్లి దిగొచ్చారా అనిపిస్తుంది ఆమెని చూస్తే! కావున పొలిక వ్యర్ధం. అయినా నయనతార బాలయ్య కి సరిజొడు గా సీత పాత్రలో ఇమిడిపొయింది. ఆత్యంత కీలకమయిన ఈ పాత్రలో నయనతార చాలా బాగా చేసింది అని చెప్పొచు…నయనతార సీత ఎంటి? అన్న వారందురు...శభాష్ నయనతార అంటారు ఖచ్చితంగా..!! 
లవకుశులుగా చిన్నారులిద్దరు సినిమా ఇంకా ముద్దొచెలా చేసారు...రామాయణ కథ చెప్పే పాటల్లో మురిపించారు.
   తన సినీజీవితం లొ అందరి హీరోలకు సహయ పాత్రలు చేసిన శ్రీకాంత్ కి లక్షమనుడి పాత్ర అచ్చంగా సరిపొయింది. కాంతారావు గారు చేసిన పాత్రని చక్కగా పొషించాడు శ్రీకాంత్.
   కౌసల్య గా కేఆర్ విజయ మెప్పించారు. కన్నాంబ పొషించిన పాత్ర ఇది.
 ధారా సింగ్ కి ఆంజనేయ పాత్ర కొట్టిన పిండి. అలాగె ఆంజనెయుడు ఒక బాలుడి రూపం లొ రావటం కొత్తగా బాగుంది. భూదేవి పాత్రలో రోజా కావాల్సిన రౌద్రాన్ని ప్రదర్శించింది. భరతుడి గా సమీర్,జనకునిగా మురళి మోహన్, చాకలి తిప్పన గా బ్రహ్మానందం, వశిష్టుని గా సీనియర్ బాలయ్య సరిపొయారు.

లవకుశ లో రేలంగి,సుర్యాకాంతం,రమణారెడ్డి గారు లేని లోటు కనిపిస్తుంది.

ఇళయరాజా సంగీతం అత్యధ్బుతం 

జగదానంద కారక....జానకి చంద్ర నాయక...అంటూ బాలు సీతరాములను స్వాగతిస్తూ పాడే పాటతో సినిమా ఆరంభం అవుతుంది.. "యే నిమిషానికి యెమి జరుగునో" అనె పాట తెలీని వారుండరెమో...ఆ సందర్భం లో వచ్చే "గాలి నింగి నీరు " ని సగానికి కుదించారు..:(."సీతా సీమంతం " చూడటానికి కనువిందు చేస్తుంది
ఇక రామయణాన్ని వర్ణించే మూడు పాటాలు "దేవుళ్ళె మెచ్చింది ...మీకెంతో నచ్చింది..శ్రీ సీతా రామ కథ ", "రామయణము..శ్రీ రామయణము..." , "సీతా రామ చరితం" మూడు ఆణిముత్యాలు. శ్రేయ ఘోషల్ గాత్రం చాలా మధురం గా ఉంది ఈ పాటల్లొ. జొన్నవిత్తుల గారు అన్ని పాటలు చాలా చిన్ని చిన్ని పదాలతో చాలా బాగా రాశారు.బాపు సంతకం అన్ని పాటల్లొ స్పష్టంగా కనిపిస్తుంది.

బాపు రమణీయం చిరస్మరణీయం !!

కమ్మని పదాలతో శ్రీ రామరాజ్యాన్ని రసరమ్యం చేసిన ముళ్ళపూడి రమణ గారు మన మధ్య లేరు అంటే బాధ గా ఉంది. వారి స్మృతులతో వారికి అంకితమిస్తూ ఆనాటి లవకుశ కి తనదైన ముద్ర వేసారు బాపు గారు. నిజానికి లవకుశ లో చాలా కష్టమయిన సన్నివేశాలు ఉన్నాయి. బాపు తెలివి గా చాలా వరకు కుదించి పాటలతో కథని నడిపించాడు.
లక్షమనుడు సీతని అడవిలో దింపిన సన్నివేశం, రాముని మీద అనుమానం తో సీత అయొధ్య కి వచ్చే సన్నివేశం, రాముడిని లవకుశులు ఎదిరించే సన్నివేశం, ఒకటా రెండా. ఇలా చాలా సన్నివేశాలు బాపు హ్రుద్యంగా తెరకెక్కించాడు.  ప్రతి సన్నివెశం ఒక అందమైన బొమ్మలా కళ్ళ ముందు ఉంది అంటే అది ఆర్ట్ డైరెక్టర్ రవీందర్, సినిమాటొగ్రఫర్ పి.ఆర్.కె రాజుల కృషి ఎంతో ఉంది. గ్రాఫిక్స్ కూడ చాల సహజంగా ఉన్నాయి.

తప్పక చూడాలి...
లవకుశ మళ్ళీ తీయటం అసంభవం. కాని నేటి తరానికి రామయణం రుచి చూపించాలని చేసిన ఈ చిరు ప్రయత్నం నిజంగా హర్షనీయం.మొదటి బాగంలొ కొన్ని హెచ్చు తగ్గులున్నా రెండవ బాగం చాలా బాగుంది. ఒక మంచి చిత్రం గా నిలిచిపొతుంది శ్రీరామరాజ్యం

సంతృప్తి శాతం!!

RA.ONE MOVIE REVIEW

RA.ONE is no doubt the most anticipated movie of the season and the reason’s obviously for it being the movie of Sharukh Khan, the King of Khan’s. Added to it, it’s a huge scale science fiction and not to deny that is exceedingly publicized that it is talked over than any other burning problem of the nation, thanks to the promotion campaign run by the Sharukh himself as he has stake in the movie. Directed by Anubhav Sinha who debuted with Tum Bin and later directed Stylish “Dus”, RA.ONE has gorgeous and lucky lady Kareena Kapoor who boasts of handful of biggest grosser’s of Bollywood.

Let’s peep into this virtual world of RA.ONE!!

Plot: Shekhar (Sharukh), a very caring father always fail to get the hugs from his son Prateik (Armaan Varma) for being so timid. While Prateik loves the villains in his video games, Shekhar believes in Good to win over bad. But to win over his son’s attention, Shekhar designs a video game RA.ONE (Random Access .ONE) where it is almost impossible for the hero of the video game, G-ONE (replica of Shekhar) to win it. Prateik takes the challenge and wins the first round. Now RA.ONE who cannot bear the defeat enters the real world to win the game, killing prateik. Witness the Super battle of RA.ONE and G.ONE on big screen.

Virtual world comes to real…

Well RA.ONE before the release, promised to serve us a feast of stunning visuals. And truly holding to it, the premise set for the film and the things we see on the screen firmly stand to the word given. Go start from the titles, the reference to the virtual world is made. Of course movie do take some little time to introduce the family members and colleagues of Shekhar, who are gonna be part of this adventure. Bear the very filmy, but not too funny appearances of Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt.

But once the real game begins, there’s no seeing back. We see the ambitious RA.ONE trying to escape into the real world. And then there’s a brilliant chase and fight with stunning visuals of flying cars when RA.ONE fights with G.One. I guess that’s more than suffices the pre-interval block and make viewers happy for they get what they expect to see. Then the later part brings us Sharukh’s kind of slapstick comedy made of few silly fights (ok, bearable) and few things that draw line between Robot and a human. While there is a lengthy train sequence reminding you the Rajnikanth’s Robot, Sharukh might have felt it inevitable to bring in RajniKanth for a cameo. Well Rajni’s appearance as chitti is small and fits in considering Rajni’s health condition too. And here’s the climax that’s good enough visually while keeping us engaged throughout.

Actor’s On-screen…

Sharukh has chosen to play south Indian Shekhar Subramanian, may be to offer some difference in what we see in regular films. That served the gap between him and his kid and supported the variation he offered for G.ONE.As G-ONE, he with ease plays superhero, who has a mission of protecting his family. But the producer in him dominated the actor, for providing rich extravaganza live to the screen.

Kareena does her job well and even sizzles in “Chammak Challo” saving some money to the producer for not bringing in an additional item girl for that one.

Young Kid Armaan Varma, plays way better for a debutant and scores full marks.

As RA.ONE, the Villain in the game gets into the skin of someone in real world, Tom Wu a Chinese actor plays the role in first half and Arjun Rampal does it in second. Both are adequate. Sahana Goswamy and Satish shah suffices well for supporting roles.

Fantastic Visual effects…

Jeff Kleiser took care of the visual effects for RA.ONE in unquestionable manner. The perfection in the work is seen in cubic transformations of lead roles. The fantastic chase sequence and blowing up of cars in London, is just mind-blowing as Bollywood movie is concerned. While Train sequence though well shot, has less impact as we see similar thing in Rajni’s Enthiran. Climax and loads of visuals which we see in movie flow are all superb. Credit also goes to Red Chillies VFX team on whole. Oscar winner Rasool Pookutty does the in-sync sound mixing. Nicola Pecoroni does splendid job for cinematography.

Awesome work off-the screen…

“Anubhav” Sinha as name suggests might have gained much experience watching other Sci-Fi films, but still makes a difference with RA.ONE. And while making an Indian science fiction, there are some things like sentiment and Romance that do hinder the proceedings, but it’s up to audience to answer themselves, if those things are unavoidable considering the whole thing as fiction. Vishal Shekhar increases the reach of movie by providing some cool tunes in form of “Dildaara..” and rocking “Chammak challo”

Time for negative points…

It would have been absolute joy to watch a movie that has perfect storyline combined with the Visual effects like Avatar. But RA.ONE lacks behind there. Nevertheless our Shekhar aka G-ONE tries to build in few emotions of family, playing a caring father telling idealistic proverbs now and then and giving a message towards the end. When termed as Children’s movie, is there a need to include words like “Kondom Kondom” for Konjum Konjum. This is high time, censor needs to wake up.

Finally…

RA.ONE stands number one for Visual effects, so far on Indian cinema. If that is what you expect from the film, RA.ONE delivers it without hesitance. While the movies with no proper story but just go to become block-buster with the star value, RA-ONE can also attain and surpass them, but whether it surpasses the 175 Crore put on it!! Time should tell it.

Rating

3 STARS. RA.ONE is one happy watch for the difference it offers, and you might be unhappy if you focus on flaws!!.

7th Sense Movie Review

Solid combo of Suriya- AR Murgadoss- Harris Jairaj who delivered “Ghajini” is back with 7aum Arivu and the dubbed version in Telugu is called 7^th Sense. Sruthi Hassan pairs with Suriya. So going by the combination involved and the trailers, the movie released with decent expectations and thanks to the Deepavali festival that’s around!!

Story:  

Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk of Indian origin who lived in 5^th century travelled to china then. He treated diseased with medicines he invented and he possessed variety of skills like hypnotism and other warfare techniques.

In Present day, Subha (Sruthi Hassan), a young genetic scientist tries to bring back the power and wisdom of Bodhidharma by infusing his DNA into his successor Aravind (Suriya).  Will she succeed in accomplishing her task? What are various hindrances the couple needs to face comprises the flick.

Actors:

Surya plays two roles of Bodhidharma and Aravind. He is damn handsome as young prince Bodhidharma. His get up as old Bodhidharma looked natural and elegant. He’s seen with complete bald head depicting the actual pictures of Bodhidharma. While as Aravind, he looked cool and he showcased his six-pack physique in needed scenes. Suriya tries to please his mass fans and variety seekers with his two different characters and this brilliant and dedicating actor delivers that with ease.

Sruthi Hassan gets the substantial role and scores very good marks both for her looks and her acting skills that flow in her blood. While she looks stunningly cute in songs, she had a lot of dialogue to explain the essence of the happenings. So she is promising and more to look for in days to come.

Johnny Tri Nguyen, a Vietnamese American film and television actor is seen as powerful villain who hails from china. With his serious looks with the power of hypnotism, he adds spice to proceedings.

Sruthi friends and Suriya’s dwarf companion did decent job.

Gist of two halves…

Movie flows in regular straight pattern starting from Bodhidharma.First half is decently distributed among the Subha-Aravind’s romance track giving place to few songs and then Subha’s research and the Villain’s entry. So the flow is smooth and adequate though nothing great as expected.

Interval and very few minutes from then, things become very clear and there’s nothing left out that could go against audience guess. And the fact that is indigestible is that there’s nothing new that’s delivered by the genious director Murugudoss.

Murugudoss  disappoints….

  Movie depends on simple thread of bringing back some powers to life to fight back the evil.  And that is told in even simpler fashion but stretching it for 3 lengthy hours . While the villainy shown by the hypnotism trick seemed different, excessive use of it and its repetition becomes funny and loses its impact  when truly tried to attack Suriya-Sruthi in badly made graphical fight sequence. While that fight sequence is lengthier one, the climax which is supposed to be even bigger falls flat with just one on one fight ( while such a huge powers attained with such a filmy effort serves such an ordinary fight..Disappointed!!). And sub plot of a wide-spreading disease (like in recent film Contagion) is very poorly written. Shanker would have dealt that episode much better. The movie which already lacks heart leaves lot of space for improvement.

Goodies….

Harris Jayaraj’s back ground score is flawless and all the songs are very good on screen. All the songs are nicely pictured and are pleasant when seen on screen thanks to gorgeous Sruthi and her dazzling chemistry with Suriya. Ravi.K.Chandren's cinematography is adequate.

Finally….

First of all, the title itself has no sense. And overall 7^th Sense is almost a regular movie but differently packaged.  If only for Suriya and Sruthi, this serves fine as a regular time-pass flick. But if you are seeking a different kind in lines of Ghajini, this is not the one.It just serves little difference.

Rating…

OOSARAVELLI MOVIE REVIEW

“DUSSERA” …A Big Festival being around…It’s time for celebrations…family gatherings and finally for movies. While “Dookudu” released few days back is ruling the roost, It’s NTR’s turn to hit the box-office with new film “Oosaravelli”. Surendar Reddy of “Athanokkade”, “Kikk” directs the flick. He earlier directed NTR for “Ashok”. Tammana plays the female lead opposite Young Tiger.

Let’s check in brief what’s it all about…

Plot(Not much spoiler): Tony(NTR) a easy going guy who does petty settlements for money, comes to Hyderabad from Mumbai. He falls for Niharika (Tamanna). NTR in his acts, behave bit differently based on situations starts killing the baddies one after other with hidden motto. What’s the story behind his killing the goons? What’s the connection of the heroine with the main plot? etc are revealed as the movie proceeds!

Actors:

Whatever firstly let’s appreciate NTR, for choosing a title “Oosarvelli” rather than some general mass title to suit his image. He tries hard to come out of Angry Lad image and tries to be a lover boy for a while and act comically like RaviTeja for a while. So while he is not himself, he is just adequate for the role. Ease in dance is of course cake walk for NTR, though there’s no much scope here. But definitely his fans will miss the punch that they get through his powerful dialogues and emotions. Wish he switches back to that for his mass followers.

Tammana has got real meaty role here. She balances the glamour quotient and emotions perfectly. It’s a rare thing that Heroine has that much of screen space these days as almost 10 minutes in the later half entirely runs on her. Her acting ability comes in handy here. She is one thing to look out for in this flick. She is superb in “Niharika” song.

Payal Ghosh who is seen in “Prayanam” plays Tammanna’s friend. She shares most of her friend’s screen time. She supports the proceedings from the beginning and gains more importance towards the end.

O God, It’s too tiresome and irritating to see Prakash Raj is same old Don Ajjubhai( even his name is disgustingly boring) role  with such an idiotic same old costumes. While there is no brahmanandam here, Jaya Prakash and Raghubabu etc try to add some comedy. MS Narayana also supports them. Very few other actors like Tanikella, Shiyaji shinde and Kikk Shyam  are adequate.

So What’s the gist!!

Director Surendar Reddy tries to tell the regular revenge drama in rather twisted manner. He borrows theme of “Aarya” for first half. First half is filled with some triangular love story between NTR and Tammana and her would be( a guy plays similar role like Sivabalaji in Aarya). And there’s a side track of Jaya Prakash, don wannabe to support this love track.  For sure the comedy track, spills some laughs here and there, and the quick songs help first half to move smoothly.  

Interval Bang and initial second half reveal the actual motto of the flick. While this part is dealt fine, the actual plot or reason is definitely not that worthy or exciting to hold the flick strongly. After relevation, there’s nothing much left over for last half hour but to rush up and say a good bye.

 What are good….

The Director shows few sparks here and there…To name few, The boy meets girl scene pictured in Kashmir and the song that follows is good. The Story that follows immediately after interval is gripping and possesses some seriousness. Using RGV’s titles for villain gang, whole JP’s comedy track is adequate. “Niharika” , “Brathakaali”, “Daandiyaa” are nicely shot. “Friend ante caring” has nice situation. Tamanna looks very good throughout. Devisri Prasad composes music while Rassol Ellore handles cinematography. Two action episodes are well handled with a song background and others suffices. 

What’s All Missing…

Though the entire plot seems little twisty, It finally ends the same and depends on the same old revenge saga. Movie as such lacks hilarious comedy which is USP these days to cover up its cliches.

Finally…

Though not surprisingly fresh, Movie offers regular masala for movie goers this festival. First half, NTR’s fan base and Tamanna’s role will surely make up for a watch if in case you don’t have an option. Festival time, Huge release will help this movie for a weekend.

Dhookudu Movie Review

Undoubtedly most awaiting movie of the season, “Dhookudu” has come out finally. Super Star Mahesh Babu is quick this time compared to his previous hiatus before “Khaleja”. Samantha, who stole our hearts as Jessie paired up with the prince. Srinu Vaitla, known for his entertainers like “Ready” “Venki” etc directed this one. And Luckiest Music director Thaman provided rocking tunes for Dookudu.

Plot(very slight spoiler): Ajay is daring and dashing Police officer. His mission is catching a gangster Nayak(Sonu sood). In a short while, Ajay comes to know that Nayak in the past, tried to kill his father Shanker Narayan(Prakash Raj), a good leader who lived for people. How Ajay puts an end to the Gangster and his team in a dramatic way is the entire movie about. And of course some space is reserved for Ajay’s romance with cute Prashanti (Samantha).

Actors:

 Mahesh looks dashing justifying the title's slogan "Daring and Dashing"…And he without any argument steals the screen space with his stunning looks. He carries forward his comedy timing which is seen in Khaleja. While his short stint in Pokiri as Police is ever memorable, He extends that role of “Krishna Manohar” and perfectly dons it with cool one-liners and stressing the word “Police” periodically. He also wears white and white MLA role, and let me hold it as suspense the reason behind it.

And female lead opposite Mahesh definitely faces that pressure as to match the thunderous glamour of prince. Samantha looks very fresh with Mahesh. She is good in all songs…and why not in scenes, because she is seen only in songs. Chinmayi’s dubbing(dubbed for her in Ye Maaya chesaave)  did not suit Samantha in this role.

Prakash Raj plays Mahesh’s side this time as his father. The heart of movie’s plot and he brings life to that character and need to mention, very few emotional scenes between son and father gives that impact, should thank PR for it.

Mah”Esh” blesses "Parvathi" Melton with an item number…She sizzles for a while, but could not beat Mumaith’s “ippatikinka naa vayasu”. Happy day’s Sonia plays Samantha’s friend, has nothing to boast about.

MS Narayana plays role of hero-wannabe irrespective of his age. His role-play as youngsters like Ramcharan, NTR, and Balayya brought few whistles. Brahmanandam too supports him aptly with his craze for reality shows. SivaReddy get to play good role as Mimicry artist and even plays a pimp.

Sonu Sood gets big slot, but nothing different.  Nazar, Suman, Kota, tanikella, chandramohan, dharmavarapu, shafi, Ajay, subbaraju,Sudha, Shiyagi, Master Bharath…name them and you find them all here….have limited and adequate roles. Mahesh’s friends all did well while Vennela Kishore scores bit more.

Simple Revenge with Huge Drama!!

First half moves with good pace. Quick fights …Superb songs and pretty good one-liners fill the pre-interval with no gap. Cute romance thread between Sam and Mahesh looks much cuter as chemistry works perfectly. Director Srinu brings up “Reality-show” concept in to the proceedings, creating sufficient laughs. Brahmanandam handles it aptly; especially when he seeks SMS from audience is quite hilarious. First half which ends with a huge fight ( as big as climax) seem to be self-sufficient.

While Audience are content with the first, Srinu Vaitla plans for a huge second half with not much stuff but just to drag further the scenes he built in first half. He plugs in his regular drinking scene (Here Mahesh plays Balayya by beating his thighs), little confusion drama, pitching in loads of artists. While there are periodic laughter’s, there are more dull and artificial ones in between. Climax is again hilarious and ends with a sweet note highlighting the Father and son bonding.

Thaman rocks with his tunes while Kona Venkat smashes with his one-liners…

While Many one-liners like “Mind lo Fix ayithe”,”Bayam ante telini Blood” are hit with audience, there are still more in store in some scenes praising NTR and touching ANR and Krishna…where every dialogue rocked. Thaman this time did a great job and his tunes which already caught up like slow poison are still colorful on screen. “Guruvaaram March okati” “Dettadi…”…”Chulbuli” each song is good on screen and K.V.Guhan(Athadu) and Prasad Murella provides rich cinematography.

And Srinu Vaitla mixes the Cocktail…

Srinu Vaitla is in control for first half, but stuffs second one with his regular comedy giving way to some boredom. But he still maintains balance, uses Mahesh’s comedy timing aptly and rushes the film towards climax before it gets overdone. Dookudu tries to be blend of action and comedy but do not form a perfect cocktail.

Final Say

Had it been trim, and if it had an effective storyline, it would have been just great. Nevertheless, it sure satisfies Mahesh’s fans for no doubt. And it appeals to lot more crowds for the good things like songs, good comedy scenes having MS and Brahmi. And Movie as such will give paisa-vasool for it never misses being a regular masala film. So Mahesh plays safe this time and he gonna rock this festival.

Rating:

A Super First Half and an ok second make me give a 3.5/5
