Director : Venkat Prabhu
Producer: K. E. Gnanavel Raja

Languages: Tamil ,Telugu
Release Date : December 20, 2013.
Movie Rating :2.75/5

Biriyani is the third outing of Tamil actor Karthi during 2013, post unsuccessful Alex Pandian and All in All Azhaguraja. It is known that Karthis is waiting for a hit from long time as his latest releases Saguni, Alex Pandian and All in All Azhaguraja didn’t do well at the box office. Will Karthi taste the success through his upcoming Studio Green Producing Biriyani? Will be answered in a while with Biriyani Review.

KE Gnanavelraja of Studio Greens proudly presenting Biriyani with tag line ‘a Venkat Prabhu’s diet’. Biriyani is the fifth directorial venture of actor turn director Venkat Prabhu after Chennai 600028, Saroja, Goa and Mankatha. Stick to the space to know whether Venkat Prabhu has gained his fifth consecutive hit with Karthi’s Biriyani?

Interestingly, Biriyani is the trade mark 100th musical of young maestro Yuvan Shankar Raja and the audio is a huge hit.

Craving for a break-even after a string of duds, Karthi finally turns to Venkat Prabhu for Biriyani which is one of the iconic films to be served at the end of the year.

Alongside Karthi in Biriyani are Hansika, Premji Amaren, Ramki, Nasser, Jayaprakash and many others. Biriyani is also the proud 100th film for the music director Yuvan Shankar Raja. Venkat Prabhu’s usual menu offers the cinematographer Sakthi Saravanan and editor duo Praveen KL – Srikanth NB.

Biriyani is the story of two friends Sugan (Karthi) and Parasuram (Premji) who get cooked up in a chaotic incident.

The first half which is incident on comics starts off with a funny flashback between the two buddies, leading to the introduction of all the main characters. Story wise, there is absolutely nothing to offer here, as it is mainly baked with Premji’s giggle inducing acts, glamour and the pungent love track between Karthi and Hansika. As the interval scene breaks in, Venkat Prabhu peppers the essence of his story.

Into the second half, and the movie picks up speed and traverses at a rapid pace. Interesting events take place in quick succession, as the second half manages to keep the viewer glued to the screen and even bringing them to the edge of the seat at few instants. The final 30 minutes are the USP of Biriyani, and this is where Venkat Prabhu puts all his brains to use. There is a popping twist at the climax, and the movie ends on a unique note, followed by the hilarious bloopers. Nice to see a little surprise for the Thala fans too!

Biriyani can easily be stated as a delicious comeback for Karthi. He looks zestful with the makeover, trendy costumes and the ed eyes. A much more matured performance with equal intensity in the comic scenes is a huge plus. Hansika is apt for her role, and does it pretty well. Premji Amaren’s funny musings do work to an extent, except for some places where it is flipped over the top. Ramki manages to come up with a convincing comeback. The rest of the cast including Nasser, Jayaprakash, Sampath and the others do complete justice to their roles. The cameos by Sam Anderson, Jai and a few others are fun to watch.

Cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan must be commended as he has captured the tones with expertise. Editing by Praveen KL and Srikanth NB could have been crispier, especially in the first half. Stunts are good, with a special mention going out to the flying fight in the second half.

On the downside, Biriyani doesn’t provide anything memorable for Yuvan’s 100th movie. The songs feel unwanted, acting as huge speed breakers. The BGM too, is nothing great to talk about, except for the climax fight sequence. Logical loopholes are garnished at places in the movie, and one must go in with the thought of forgiving the director for those bits. Fact must be noted too, that Biriyani finds it hard to qualify as a family movie.

Venkat Prabhu must be appreciated for coming up with a piquant script topped with a good mix of many characters. However, the execution from paper to picture hasn’t worked to the full potential as the viewer is left blank at some instances. The presence of an eventless first half too, doesn’t work in the favor of the movie.

However, Biriyani is delicious hit material, and surely Karthi’s best among his last five.

Uyyala jampala Movie Review

Scroll Down for Trailer

Uyyala Jampala Poster

Movie: Uyyala Jampala
Cast : Raj Tarun , Avika Gor (Aanandi)
Director : Virinchi Varma
Producer: Sunshine Productions, Annapurna Productions(Nagarjuna)
Music : Sunny M.R
Languages: Telugu
Release Date : 25th December 2013 
Movie Rating :3.2/5
Verdict : Its a  Pleasant family and romantic entertainer. This movie remains as a good choice as there is no good competition

The small budget romantic entertainer ‘Uyyala Jampala’ is gearing up . Avika Gor, who essayed the role of Anandi in the serial ‘Chinnari Pellikoothuru’, is the heroine in this movie and Raj Tharun will be seen as the male lead. Virinchi Varma has directed this romantic drama.

Story :

Story is set in a typical Konaseema village atmosphere where lives Bava Suri (Raj Tharun) and Maradalu Uma Devi (Avika Gor). From early childhood days, they have an unseen and unexpressed emotional attachment but still are quarrelsome every time. While Suri is practical and matured to lead the poor family with his widowed mother (Anita), Uma Devi is still into adolescence landing into unnecessary troubles to face the anger of her rich father (Ravi Varma). A practical joke played by Suri shores Uma Devi into infatuation with impish personality Parthu. Obviously, it is Suri who saves Uma and soon she realizes of being in love with Bava.

As financial standards between two families become a hurdle, Suri traces childhood friend (Kireeti Damaraju) living in USA as right life partner for Uma Devi. What happened later on? When and how Suri changed his perception on Maradalu?

Positive Points :

Raj Tharun is a good find for the Telugu Industry. This youngster has great talent and ease and if he plays his cards right, he has a great future ahead of him. He will be a perfect fit for certain genres and characters. Avika Gor has given a neat performance in the film. She has a certain following because of Balika Vadhu/Chinnari Pelli Koothuru serial and this will help the movie.
The biggest surprise package in the film is Punarnavi. She has given a solid performance and she looks quite good in the role of a girl who is madly in love with Suri. Anita Chowdhary and the other character actors have performed adequately.

The second half of the film has good emotions and some scenes will surely strike a chord. Nice dialogues and well conceived scenes will make you root for the characters. The pre-climax episode will melt the hearts of many.

For a small budget film, the film has very good visuals. Casting is perfect for each and every role.

Negative Points :

The first half of the film could have been better, as it fails to engage viewers as effectively as the second half does. The graph of the film is quite flat for the first 30 minutes or so.

After a stirring pre-climax block, the film comes to a very abrupt end. The climax block could have been handled in a much better way. While the songs sound good, most of them do not really help the film’s flow in any way.

The film’s appeal might be limited to A centers and multiplexes. If you are looking for hilarious comedy and ‘masala elements’, stay away.

Technical Aspects :

Cinematography is a big asset for the movie. The village locales have been shot well. Sunny’s background score is good. Editing is neat, but some scenes could have been trimmed off in the first half.

Virinchi Varma’s direction is pretty good for a first timer. Dialogues have good depth.

Verdict :

‘Uyyala Jampala’ is a small and cute little romantic film that will make you smile at the end. There are good emotional scenes and fine performances in the film that offset some of the issues like a flat first half. If you are looking for a clean family entertainer this weekend, look no further.

Director : vijaya krishna Acharya
Production: Adithya Chopra
Genere: Action
Languages: Hindi,Telugu
Release Date : 20^Th Dec,2013
Movie Rating :2.5/5
verdict : No good story. Two twists , good dance, over action.., Finally ... Ok Ok types!

Entry of Lead cast :

Aamir Khan makes his entry by running vertically down a building, with currency notes flying everywhere and a background score that sounds like “We want chocolate we want chocolate”.

Abhishek Bachchan makes his entry by breaking through a concrete wall in an auto rickshaw, then jumps over rooftops in the auto and then does Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 2 bike stunts with the auto.

Katrina Kaif makes her entry by doing a Marky Mark-“Good Vibrations”-style, five-minute-long aerobics workout (and/or striptease) as an impromptu audition for The Great Indian Circus in Chicago. 

Production

(India) A Yash Raj Films release and presentation. Produced by Aditya Chopra. Executive producers, Aashish Singh, Sanjay Shivalkar

Crew:
Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. Screenplay, Acharya, Prakash Bharadwaj; story, Acharya, Aditya Chopra. Camera ( ), Sudeep Chatterjee;  editor, Ritesh Soni; music, Pritam Chakraborty; background score, Julius Packiam; lyrics, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Kausar Munir, Sameer Anjaan; production designer, Sumit Basu; art director, Adri Siriwatt; costume designers, Manoshi Nath, Rushi Sharma, Anaita Shroff; makeup designer, Zsofia Otvos; sound, Debasish Mishra; sound designer, Ganesh Gangadharan; re-recording mixer, Anuj Mathur; visual effects supervisor, Joel Hynek; special effects coordinator, Joe Digaetano; choreographer, Vaibhavi Merchant; tap choreographer, Dein Perry; action directors, Conrad E. Palmisano, Sham Kaushal; stunt coordinator, Oliver Keller; casting, Shanoo Sharma.

Story:

An engaging tale the story is set on the backdrop of Chicago and a bank is getting looted by a thief leaving a clown’s mask. He is Sahir (aamir) who has a circus show and he also has a vengeance behind this act. From India come the duo of ACP Jai Dixit (abhishek) and Ali (uday chopra) to catch the thief. Meanwhile, Sahir is joined by the beautiful Aaliya (katrina) in his circus acts. Whether Jai and Ali are able to catch Sahir or not forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

It is best to reveal as little as possible about Aamir’s character. To say the least, Aamir Khan is sincere in whatever he does. He plays every shade of his role with smoothness, ease and perfection.

Katrina Kaif is beautiful in every frame. She is perfect with her acts and the dance. Sadly, her role isn’t written with more meat or emotion.

Abhishek Bachchan is as good as Jai Dixit as he has always been.

And no curt words for Uday Chopra. God bless him for all the comic relief he provides. Without him, Dhoom would be a brooding and distastefully somber.

Technical Departments:

The director has come up with a regular storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was quite absorbing. The dialogues were well written. The script was average but the screenplay made the whole difference. The background score was gripping and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was exceptional.

Editing was crisp. Costumes were stylish and well designed to suit the royalty while the art department was fabulous. Aamir Khan has taken the film to a new level with his performance, Katrina was stunningly sexy and eye catching, Abhishek was good, Uday Chopra brought few smiles. Not much for the foreign actors. Jackie was brief but made his presence felt.

R.. Rajkumar movie Review

Movie:  R Rajkumar
Cast :  Shaid kapur, Sonakshi Sinha
Director : Prabhudeva
Language: Hindi 
Release Date : Dec 06,2013
Movie Rating : 2.5/5Producer : Sunil Lulla, Viki Rajani
verdict : If you are a die-hard fan of south movies or a bigger fan of their no-brainer potboiler Hindi remakes, then do go for this movie and have a gala time. For the rest, wait for the DVD or better still watch it, free of cost, when it comes on TV.

Just when you thought that Prabhu Dheva had perfected the art of churning out potboilers with typical southern spicing, ‘R… Rajkumar’ disappoints like nothing else.

‘R…Rajkumar’ is the kind of formulaic film that was very popular in the 1970s. When made well, it works because of nostalgic value but unless there is at least one unique thing in the plot, the action formula has become so passé.

Rajkumar (Shahid Kapoor) decides to become the right-hand person of a local goon after he’s struck by love at first sight. His research is so bad that he doesn’t even realize that he is helping the rival gang. By interval the director has exhausted all his ploys and yet we are forced to sit through another hour of mindless violence and slapstick humour.

If stories like this one need to have some sort of structure, we have already seen the set-up, the conflict and have a fair idea of the resolution by the end of the first half and the later half holds little promise to keep us hooked.

We have grown tired of watching flimsy plots that reek of shoddy writing and have nothing to boast of but slow motion Matrix-style action sequences, peppered with songs shot in exotic locales and raunchy items songs shoved in just to titillate the audience. I just couldn’t get over the ‘Kaddu Katega’ song from ‘R…Rajkumar’, how do the censors even let this pass?

Sonakshi Sinha has made a giant leap in her acting career; from just batting eyelids in her previous films, she gets to shoot a fiery glance now and then in ‘R…Rajkumar’, she also gets to break a beer bottle on someone’s head in her introductory scene and start a small fire by burning wedding cards.

Shahid really needs help when it comes to choosing the right role. He is saddled with a character that has little scope to improvise. The right dance moves and all the Keanu Reeves-style action is just wasted in this film.

‘R…Rajkumar’ is a huge disappointment because there is hardly a single praise worthy thing in the whole film.

Varna Movie Review

Movie: Varna
Cast : Anushka , Aarya
Director : Selva Raghavan
Producer: PVP Cinema
Music : Haris jayraj
Languages: Telugu,Tamil
Release Date : November 22,2013
Movie Rating :1/5
Verdict : Better not to see the movie !!

Selvaraghavan Alias Sri Raghava has come up with a new flick by name ‘Varna’ starring Anushka &Arya.Producer of this film is PVP.,who has earlier produced movie like: Balupu.Lets see how the movie is:

Story:

There will be two couples in two different worlds.One couple will be on earth and other in some other world.There will not be much clarity about this world.Both the couples are: Anushka ( 1. Ramya 2. Varna) Arya ( 1. Madhu Balakrishna 2. Mahendra).There will be some love sequences between them.

Unfortunately in mysterious world,Anushka(Varna) kills her self after she forcibly married to Arya by the King.At the same time,in the real world,Anushka(Ramya) dies in a simple accident.

In both the worlds,Arya is a sincere+genuine lover to her.With the sudden death of Ramya,Madhu go mad and tries to search for her memories in everything.

Varna,comes back alive with the help of a local god in the mysterious island.Madhu Balakrishna will also be bought to the mysterious island from earth,by Arya — . He was about to commit suicide.

Then a series of incidents takes place.However,Madhu Balakrishna(Arya) identifies himself and confirms that he came to someother world and his love Ramya is dead.

What happens next? How will he survive this un-expected series of incidents that happen in his life? Where will he go next from that mysterious world? Is the rest of the story.

Analysis:

The director wanted to create a whole new world of LOVE. May be inspired by some Hollywood flicks.He lost the grip very frequently.The love and entertainment quotient are not up to the mark.The movie has too many flaws.It is far from realistic.Usually,a movie should be either nearer to the realistic in nature,or a complete socio fantasy types with full of fables and entertainment with complete graphic work.

This one has a very good graphic work.VFX affects are so nice.The main problem is the story line.There is no proper sync between the two stories that run in parallel.

Audience frequently feel that they were forcibly pushed towards a new diferent world that is hard to believe.

The movie’s backbone is PURE LOVE &LIFE AFTER DEATH for pure Love.The director could not able to do justice for the two stories. He failed to create an intensity that is required for a socio fantasy movie.

Few scenes were extremely good. Especially the fight between Arya and an Animal is shot superbly. The graphic work is awesome there! Few comedy sequences are good between Arya &Anushka.It is all about Arya &Anushka!! The whole story revolves around them and they are the top performers.Even though they tried their best,due to the lack of proper story line,am afraid to say that this movie will fail @ the box office.

Plus:

Graphics Work

Graphics Work

Graphics Work

Minus:

Story

Dubbing

Editing

Overall,an un-conventional flick from the director and the producer.This will not fit the bill.A routine movie goer will not at all like this movie.If at all you do not have any other work,feeling bored over the week-end,you can give a try.

Gravity Movie Review

Movie: Gravity (Hollywood)
Starring : Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
Director : Alfonso Cuaron
Producer : Alfonso Cuaron, David Heyman
Music Director : Steven Price
Release date : 11 October 2013
Rating : 4.5/5
Verdict : Awesome Breath taking movie. Must watch

George Clooney and Sandra Bullock teamed up for the sic-fi adventure flick ‘Gravity’. The movie has been directed by Alfonso Cuaron and Warner Brothers studio distributed it. ‘Gravity’ has been receiving tons and tons of critical acclaim across the world. The movie is releasing tomorrow in India and premiere shows have been held on Thursday night in all the major Indian cities. Let us check out the film now.

Story :

Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a mission specialist who is on her first trip into outer space. She is tasked with the service of the Hubble Telescope and she is accompanied on this spacewalk by the fun loving Mission Commander Matthew Kowalski (George Clooney). Matthew is a space veteran and this is his final mission.

A routine spacewalk turns into a nightmare when space debris from a blown up russian satellite heads their way at terrifying speed. Flying debris in outer space can be devastatingly dangerous and Dr. Ryan Stone experiences this first hand.

The debris destroys the Space Shuttle and claims a few casualties. Only Dr. Stone and Matthew survive. Together, they must battle falling oxygen levels, overwhelming odds and equipment failure. Their only hope?? The International Space Station and the Chinese Space Station.

Can they reach the ISS or the Chinese Space Station in time? That is the story of this sic-fi thriller

Plus Points :

The movie can only be described as a breathtaking trip into outer space. The visuals are so overwhelmingly phenomenal. After James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’, this is the first film that is truly worth watching in 3D.

George Clooney and Sandra Bullock have done a great job in the film. But their acting skills play second fiddle to the storytelling ability of Alfonso Cuaron and the cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki.

The zero gravity simulation is perfect. Objects and people float around exactly as they should and nothing seems artificial. Attention to detail is phenomenal. In one scene, Sandra Bullock loses hope and cries. The tears from her eyes form round droplets and float around her, just as they would in real life.

There are no loopholes in the plot. In fact, it is quite an achievement to narrate a simple and linear storyline like this in such a thrilling manner. Despite the stunning 3D effects and the grand visuals, emotional connect never takes a backseat. Viewers will connect strongly with Sandra Bullock’s character. Her fears become our fears and her triumphs will make us cheer.

Minus Points :

There is nothing bad about this film. If I have to look for a fault, perhaps it would be George Clooney’s limited screen presence.

Technical Aspects :

Each and every technical department has performed exceptionally in the film. The cinematography is outstanding, like I already said. Editing is neat and clever. Background score is perfectly in sync with the emotion of the scene and the dialogues are very nice.

Alfonso Cuaron has set a new benchmark for screenplay and direction with this movie. It will be a big disappointment if he does not pick up the oscar for Best Director.

Verdict :
There are good films and then there are great films. But very rarely, we might just be lucky enough to watch a film that sets a new standard for filmmaking. ‘Gravity’ is one such movie. This film is a once in a lifetime experience. Do watch ‘Gravity’ in the best theater that is available in your city. It is a breathtaking journey into outer space

Potugadu movie review

Title : Potugadu (2013)
Star Cast : Manchu Manoj, Sakshi Chowdhary, Posani Krishna Murali…
Director : Pawan Wadeyar
Producer : Lagadapati Sirisha
Genre : Comedy – Romance
Music : Achu
Release Date : Sept 14, 2013.

Verdict: First Half is good. Second half was just satisfactory. All together, Can be watched once for comedy.

Story :

Govindu (Manoj) is a young fellow who decides to commit suicide. He goes to a lonely spot and decides to have one last drink. At about the same time, Venkata Rathnam (Posani Krishna Murali) also comes to the same spot to commit suicide. The two of them sit down for a chat to find out more about their respective life stories.

Govindu has four love stories to narrate. First up is his romantic track with Vaidehi (Simran Kaur), the daughter of a rich Brahmin guy. After a brief courtship, the love story fails because Vaidehi’s father is against the alliance. Govindu moves on in life and this is where the second love story begins. He falls in love with Mumtaz (Sakshi Choudhary) and romance blossoms between them. But Govindu throws away everything in a drunken stupor, where he makes some derogatory comments about Mumtaz.

Next up is a love story with a foreign lady named Stacy (Rachel). As expected, this story also fails. The last and final love story belongs to Govindu and Mary (Anupriya). For the first time in his life, Govindu experiences true love. He fully reforms himself and leads a normal life. But fate has other ideas. A shocking truth about Mary is revealed and Govindu is heartbroken.

This is what compels him to attempt suicide. Venkat Rathnam is moved by Govindu’s story. But this is not the end. The story comes full circle when something unexpected happens towards the closing stages.

What is that? Will Govindu find true love? That forms the story of ‘Potugadu’.

Plus Points :

Manoj’s mannerisms and dialogue delivery will entertain viewers. He has imitated Mohan Babu’s diction in a few scenes. Manoj is known for coming up with good fight sequences and he has done a very good job in this movie as well.

Posani Krishna Murali is a big asset for this movie. His expressions and reactions are hilarious. The comedy scenes between Manoj and Posani have come out well. Ali and Raghu Babu are ok. Sakshi Choudhary is very good looking and she has given a decent performance. Anupriya is ok.

The first half is a big asset for the movie. The pace is excellent and the dialogues are witty. B and C center folks will enjoy the ‘double meanings’. All the songs have been shot very well. But ‘Devatha’ and ‘Pyar Mein Padipoya’ stand out for their brilliant music.

The interval block and the twist in Anupriya’s love story are nice. The short run time is also an asset.

Minus Points :

Simran does not know how to act. Her performance is very bad. Rachel irritates in the role of Stacy. Filmmakers should stop trying to create the effect of foreigners speaking in Telugu. The third love story involving Stacy has been handled in a very poor way. It is loud, cliched and badly written.

Because all four love stories are very short, you never really get enough time to connect emotionally to the proceedings.

After a brilliant first half, the pace of the film dips considerably in the second half. If not for Posani and the songs, the second half would have become quite tedious.

The climax episodes are not up to the mark. While the twist is good, the way the story is wrapped up is a little superficial.

Technical Aspects :

Cinematography is a big asset for this movie. Editing is pretty good. It is quite tough to seamlessly edit a film which is nothing more than the sum of four short stories. But the editor has managed to do a neat job. Achu’s music and background score are big assets for the film. Sreedhar Sipana’s dialogues have good entertainment value.

Pawan Wadeyar makes a decent impression as a director. He has promise.

Verdict :

‘Potugadu’ has a very entertaining and racy first half. But it is let down by a loud and cliched second half. You can safely watch the film once, for the crackling performances from Manoj and Posani as well as for some great songs.

Zanjeer 2013 Movie Review:

It’s a confronting assignment to restructure the old drama with the same zeal, which pressed the audience to throw out their money for a seat in cinemas. In the past there have been flicks like Don and Agneepath, which stood up to the expectations while Aag and Himmatwala fell upon its face badly. Apporva Lakhria takes the 1973 ‘Zanjeer’ to create the same aura out of the flick that made the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan ‘The
angry young man’.

What we anticipated from the director was sheer maintenance of the old world charm with the fresh troupe of Ram, Priyanka and Sanjay but director stumbled here. Mala here isn’t a street dancer nor is Teja an underworld don. With these couple of changes, director Apoorva Lakhria presents you the Zanjeer. We aren’t complaining any new addition to the story as it’s a known fact that it’s a remake, which begins with Vijay (Ram Charan) an
honest police officer who is deployed in Mumbai to unearth the oil mafia Teja (Prakash Mehra).

Here he is also handed over a case of an official who is burnt alive by oil mafia’s goons whose sole witness is Mala (Priyanka Chopra). In the meantime, he also faces Sher Khan (Sanjay Dutt) who deals in illegal cars. But the enmity turns into friendship after a hand-to-hand combat between the two. Sher Khan helps Vijay to detect Teja and to destroy him from the roots. Unfortunately the crime saga isn’t wrenching which moves you from
beneath.

Apoorva Lakhria pack all the masala ingredients into it but gives a half-baked recipe. You will find n number of loopholes in the flick but the anticipation to witness Sanjay Dutt as Sher Khan would rag you to stick in. The sole purpose to rope in Sanjay Dutt could be recognised by the fact that Agneepath was huge success where he played a devilish Kaancha. Vijay’s anguish attitude impresses you for a while but for long it doesn’t makes you serious.

However there are a couple of actions scenes, which are nicely choreographed and Ram Charan looks good in it. The South actor looks commanding. He has the aura to make one feel his strength. He gives a balanced performance. Priyanka Chopra hangs in her role of Mala. She sparkles the screen with her charm whenever she appears but doesn’t get too much to deliver. Sanjay Dutt as Sher Khan shouldn’t be compared with Late actor Pran. He invents his character and doesn’t go overboard. Prakash Raj makes his character larger than it is. Mahie Gill is good.

Toofan 2013 Movie Review:

It’s a confronting assignment to restructure the old drama with the same zeal, which pressed the audience to throw out their money for a seat in cinemas. In the past there have been flicks like Don and Agneepath, which stood up to the expectations while Aag and Himmatwala fell upon its face badly. Apporva Lakhria takes the 1973 ‘Zanjeer’ to create the same aura out of the flick that made the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan ‘The
angry young man’.

What we anticipated from the director was sheer maintenance of the old world charm with the fresh troupe of Ram, Priyanka and Sanjay but director stumbled here. Mala here isn’t a street dancer nor is Teja an underworld don. With these couple of changes, director Apoorva Lakhria presents you the Toofan. We aren’t complaining any new addition to the story as it’s a known fact that it’s a remake, which begins with Vijay (Ram Charan) an
honest police officer who is deployed in Mumbai to unearth the oil mafia Teja (Prakash Mehra).

Here he is also handed over a case of an official who is burnt alive by oil mafia’s goons whose sole witness is Mala (Priyanka Chopra). In the meantime, he also faces Sher Khan (Sanjay Dutt) who deals in illegal cars. But the enmity turns into friendship after a hand-to-hand combat between the two. Sher Khan helps Vijay to detect Teja and to destroy him from the roots. Unfortunately the crime saga isn’t wrenching which moves you from
beneath.

Apoorva Lakhria pack all the masala ingredients into it but gives a half-baked recipe. You will find n number of loopholes in the flick but the anticipation to witness Sanjay Dutt as Sher Khan would rag you to stick in. The sole purpose to rope in Sanjay Dutt could be recognised by the fact that Agneepath was huge success where he played a devilish Kaancha. Vijay’s anguish attitude impresses you for a while but for long it doesn’t makes you serious.

However there are a couple of actions scenes, which are nicely choreographed and Ram Charan looks good in it. The South actor looks commanding. He has the aura to make one feel his strength. He gives a balanced performance. Priyanka Chopra hangs in her role of Mala. She sparkles the screen with her charm whenever she appears but doesn’t get too much to deliver. Sanjay Dutt as Sher Khan shouldn’t be compared with Late actor Pran. He invents his character and doesn’t go overboard. Prakash Raj makes his character larger than it is. Mahie Gill is good.

Final Say: combination of aporva lakhia and Ram charan stayed disaster.

After a fairly successful outing with Manam Kothi Paravai, director Ezhil started his next titled Desingu Raja, which was in a similar genre rural comedy. He roped in Vimal to play the lead Idhayakani, who has been named so by his parents and is a diehard MGR fan.

Bindu Madhavi was signed to play the female lead as a Rajini fanatic in the movie, thus pairing with Vimal for second time after Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga. Muktha Bhanu danced for one song along with Vimal and the group dancers which was shot in Thiruvarur.

Desingu Raja Movie Review:

Rural potboilers in Tamil cinema are usually about a love story or rivalry between two villages. Not surprisingly, “Desingu Raja” merges both the common themes into a story, which partially entertains, but otherwise is a wasted effort. Despite its flawed screenplay and a plot that barely evokes interest, it’s the sporadic laughs that hold audiences through the film.

This is the love story of Idhayakani (Vimal) and Thamarai (Bindu), who belong to different families which share a warring rivalry for generations. Will love between the young couple triumph over familial hatred? This forms the rest of the story.

Since time immemorial, we have had films with a similar storyline. I wonder what makes “Desingu Raja” any different from any of these films that have come over the years, except for the cast and some earnest comedy.

It’s an unambitious film on a mission to entertain its viewers with full-length comedy. Honestly, it doesn’t succeed in its mission because the forced humour works for a few minutes, but after a while it really tests your patience.

Vimal and Bindu scored a hit earlier this year with a film called “Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga”, and the makers of “Desingu Raja” were under the impression that the pair will elevate the film with their presence and help it succeed. But, the truth is that the last time that this couple appeared on screen, their presence was complemented by a decent storyline, which is completely missing in the case of this film.

While a crop of new filmmakers are trying to tread never-explored territories of filmmaking with films such as “Neram” and “Pizza”, films such as the one in discussion and several more have been heavily relying on comedy. I agree the success rate of comedy films is high vis-a-vis other genre films, but eventually the fate of a film depends on its story.

Director Ezhil, who’s been in the industry for over a decade, barely displays a streak of brilliance. In fact, the film raises questions such as – “Has Ezhil lost his directorial spark?”, as one walks home after watching film. He has undoubtedly made a couple of good rural entertainers over the years, but he seriously needs to move on and try different films.

Vimal too has been typecast for village-based roles. Even though he has played them to perfection, it is getting extremely boring to see him in similar roles. He should look at doing different films outside of comedy genres and gauge the reception of his fans. I’m positive that people will welcome him with open hearts.

Bindu Madhavi is trading her pretty looks for portraying similar roles. She is more comfortable wearing a half-sari and playing a village belle than trying something unconventional.

Verdict: It’s perfectly alright to skip “Desingu Raja” if you still haven’t watched it. For those who have already watched it, I feel sorry for you, truly.
