Venkatesh Shadow Telugu Movie Online

Film: Shadow
Starring: Venkatesh,Tapsee,Srikanth,Madhurima
Director: Meher Ramesh
Producer: Paruchuri Kireeti
Banner: United Movies banner
Music: Thaman

Story

Raghuram (Naga Babu) is undercover investigative journo who makes a document against mafia don Nana Bhai(Aditya Pancholi) regarding his illegal activities. The report reaches Nana Bhai who in turn kills the former but Rajaram (Venkatesh), Raghuram’s son sees his father’s death and he vows to take revenge in the name of Shadow. Will he succeed in killing Nana Bhai and his gang forms the rest of Shadow.

Performances

Venkatesh looked quite different and has experimented with his looks. As per the film, Venky has trusted the director and followed his instructions mechanically despite his good experience in films. He has performed his part well dealing emotional scenes, action sequences but couldn’t rescue the film.

Tapsee is gorgeous but is confined to songs. Her characterization is poorly etched but she impresses with her dance moves.

Srikanth as a cop delivers a routine performance and Madhurima is natural. MS Narayana as Psycho Sreenivas and Jaya Prakash Reddy brings few laughs while Krishna Bhagawan is okay, Rahul Dev is usual, Naga Babu as journalist is brief, Aditya Pancholi is impressive and he might bag some good roles hereafter.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Prasad Murella is good and the major part was shot in lavish locales. Thaman’s songs are catchy but the songs placement like naughty Girl..’ is poor. Background score is loud. The title song has wonderful choreography and shot very stylishly. Dialogues are senseless with meaningless Rhyming words, editing is inconsistent and jerky. Meher Ramesh direction is bad. Production values by United Movies are bad.

Analysis

Shadow focuses on Style and rich locales rather than the content like any other Meher Ramesh film. The story is a regular revenge saga, yet it would have been a safe bet if the film is packed with gripping screenplay and good entertainment considering the fact that producers have spent lot of budget on the style.

Director Meher Ramesh failed totally in engaging the audiences in the proceedings and stuck with style concentrating on lavish locales, designer outfits, Choppers for dons’ et al. Venkatesh proved to be director’s actor believing in Meher Ramesh and following his instructions mechanically. Even the emotional scenes which are Venkatesh’s forte lacked the needed depth and impact. On the comedy front, the Gabbar Singh Antyakshari scenes including Venkatesh and MS Narayana might be a relief to few, while scenes showcasing Venky as a child, calling Tapsee as Aunty didn’t work at all, in fact they are terrible.

While the first half runs on a boring note with routine stuff, the second half totally tests your patience and the climax fight leaves you disappointed.

Greeku Veerudu Telugu Movie Online

Film: Greeku Veerudu
Starring: Nagarjuna,Nayanatara,Meera Chopra
Director: Dasaradh
Producer: D Sivaprasad Reddy
Banner: Sri Kamakshi Kala Movies
Music: Thaman

Story

Chandu (Nagarjuna), an event manager in US doesn’t believe in relationships and commitments. Maaya (Meera Chopra) his assistant betrays him in business and as a result Chandu gets stuck in financial troubles fined with a hefty price. His close pals fail to help at the needed time and meanwhile he gets to know about his family and his grandfather (K.Vishwanath) from India. Chandu flies to India hoping to get his property share by acting well among his family members for his own reasons. He gets to meet Sandhya (Nayantara), who works for the ‘Make a Wish’ foundation and later falls in love with her. The rest forms the crux of the story.

Performances

Nagarjuna makes a cool entry and he is stylish and classy in the film. It is not erroneous to say Nag beats many young heroes in terms of style and handsomeness. He entertains with his comic timing, dances, romance and gets us connect to the emotional scenes.

Nayanatara is beautiful and as usual she scores in glamour and performance equally. A special mention to her costumes, and her scenes with Nagarjuna have come out well.

Meera Chopra in a brief role is good, Brahmanandham brings laughs in the second half, Thagubothu Ramesh is brief, K.Vishwanth is impressive, Sudha does a neat job, Ashish Vidyardhi and Kota Srinivasa Rao are regular.

Technical Analysis

Thaman’s musical scores are pleasing and melodious while the background score is impressive and an asset for the film. The songs I hate Love Stories.., Osi Naa Bangaram are shot well. Anil Bhandari’s cinematography is fine. CG and DI works are very poor; Production values are not up to the standard.

Analysis

Greeku Veerudu is a neat family entertainer just like Dasaradh’s earlier films.

The first half of the film has few feel good scenes. All the scenes between Nag and K.Viswanath are a good watch and remind you of Dasaradh’s trademark family scenes. The emotional scenes are well-shot but the problem is the pace of the film, which is quite slow. Screenplay is not up to the mark and logic goes for a toss at times. The interval is neat and the second half was again clean with good entertainment provided if u bear some silly comedy scenes. Poor CG shots adding to inconsistent screenplay spoils the experience of a feel good movie. Nevertheless, Nagarjuna, Nayanathara and K.Vishwanadh give their best performances making it a worth watch once.

Sukumarudu Telugu Movie Online

Film: Sukumarudu
Starring: Aadi,Nisha Agarwal,Krishna,Sharada
Director: G. Ashok
Producer: K. Venugopal
Banner: Sri Soudhamini Creations
Music: Anoop Rubens

Story

Sukumar (Aadi) is a NRI working for a US company who gives much preference to money and is selfish by nature. To start his own firm, he needs hefty amount and at this point of time, he comes to know that his family who lives in a village has a property worth 150Crores. He immediately flies to the village on a plan to sell the property and invest in the bank to commence his dream project. He meets his grandmother Vandanamma (Sharada) uncle Rao Ramesh and falls in love with Sankari (Nisha Aggarwal). Will Sukumar succeed in his plan or changes his nature forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Aadi once again proves that he is a great dancer and he is good at action sequences but he needs to work on emotional scenes and comic timing.

Nisha Agarwal is beautiful especially in the songs, but her pairing with Aadi misses the mark in the film.

Super Star Krishna is brief but delivers a decent performance and actress Sharada is an asset for the movie. The film had many artists like MS Narayana, Raghu Babu, Dhanraj, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Thagubothu Ramesh but the comedy didn’t work much and they are wasted in poor roles.

Technical Analyis

Cinematography is fine while Anup Rubens musical scores are a decent. The background score is loud at times. Editing is pathetic with no consistency. Dialogues hardly impress. Ashok Kumar’s direction is bad and screenplay looked illogical. Production values are not upto the mark.

Analysis

Director Ashok has come up with a routine story, it could have been quite different had the director incorporated gripping screenplay, instead it was terrible. Logic has gone for toss big time and the flow is inconsistent with few scenes appearing from nowhere. With too many supporting actors neither of them had interesting roles and poor writing clearly plays the spoilsport. Even the romantic scenes between the leads never worked and misplaced songs irritate even more. The interval twist is a bit interesting and makes the audiences look for some entertainment in store but the same predictable and too many melodrama scenes make the proceedings worse. The run length is almost 3 hours with none of the interesting scenes in the scenes, the viewers go restless. Besides very few scenes, Sukumarudu looked dull.

Story

The story revolves around two brothers Siva Rama Krishna (Sunil), a timid guy becomes a cop with the force of Karthik (Naga Chaitanya), a tough guy.

In this situation, Bagga gets to know that Karthik is behind Shiva Rama Krishna and what does the latter do in the situation? How does Karthik help his brother forms the crux.

Performances

Naga Chaitanya has showed quite a lot of improvement and this time he does his role with much ease and subtle expressions. He is stylish and impressive in the action episodes and romantic scenes.

Sunil is perfect fit for the role of cop who later transforms into powerful cop with the support of his brother. His comic timing works in the first half and at the same time he does well in the fight scenes in the latter half.

Tamanna oozes oomph and sizzles in her glamorous role. She doesn’t have much to do performance wise but makes her presence felt. However, she shares a good chemistry with Chaitanya and their combo scenes are a visual treat.

Andrea Jeremiah is good looking and does her role well. Ashutosh Rana as dreadful villain is impressive, Srinivas Reddy, Jaya Prakash Reddy and Brahmanandam are there to bring few laughs.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Arthur Wilson is first-class and the film looked quite colorful, Thaman’s music is good and the background score has required essence. Dolly (Kishore Kumar Pardasani) direction is good while the screenplay is taut packed with racy entertainment. Editing is crisp and neat. Production values of Sri Sai Ganesh Productions are standard.

Analysis

Tadakha being the remake of Vettai follows the same script and screenplay without many changes. Both Sunil and Naga Chaitanya have equally good and challenging roles and they have done quite well. The first half of the film is racy and entertaining while the second half lacks the pace at times. The comedy could have been high in the second half as well. Scenes between the Naga Chaitanya and Tamanna are entertaining likewise the emotional bonding between the two brothers have been captured nicely. Climax is effective and had the solid punch.

Thadaka has all the right commercial elements including action, humor, romance, glamour with good technical values, also sticks to the Telugu audiences nativity factor. The film has all the needed elements to set the cash registers ringing at the Box-Office.

Iddarammayilatho Telugu Movie online

Film: Iddarammayilatho
Starring: Allu Arjun, Amala Paul,Catherine Tresa
Director: Puri Jagannadh
Producer: Bandla Ganesh
Banner: Parameswara Arts
Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Story

Akansha (Catherine Tresa) is the daughter of Union Minister (Rao Ramesh). She moves to Spain for further studies and finds Komali’s (Amala Paul) personal diary in her room. The dairy encloses the love story of Komali (Amala Paul) and Sanju Reddy (Allu Arjun). Their love story ends abruptly and in the process of knowing further details Akanksha falls in love with Sanju and what happens next forms the crux.

Performances

Allu Arjun impresses once again with his stylish costumes and dance sequences. He succeeded to show the diverse emotions and also performed very well in performing stunts sequences.

Amala Paul had a decent role as Komali. She suited herself as Brahmin girl and her pairing with Allu Arjun is quite decent.

Catherine Tresa impresses everyone with her dance moves. She finely fits herself Akanksha and sends a message that she isn’t a hesitant of skin show in future.

Brahmanandam failed to impress as Phidel Brahma, and his scenes with Ali (Psycho Govind) are not at all tickling. Other casts are just adequate with their assigned roles.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Amol Rathod is first-class and the film looked quite colorful, Devi Sri’s music is good and the background score has required essence. Puri Jagannath’s direction is good while the screenplay is taut packed with racy entertainment. Editing isn’t crisp and lacks its pace at few moments. Production values of Parameshwara Art Productions are very lavish.

Analysis

Iddarammayilatho story has nothing new to offer. The only thing that counts in this picture is highly technical standards and Allu Arjun’s stylish avatar. Director Puri Jagannadh has missed many key points which make the plot inconvincible. Unlike Puri’s previous movies, Iddarammailatho lacks Puri’s punch dialogs and comedy scenes by Brahmanandam and Ali are unbearable. The best part of movie is Allu Arjun’s performance in interval bang. He performed quite well in dance sequences and stunts. The only backdrop of this movie will be lengthy second half. Director Puri Jagannadh should have been more careful in trimming the unwanted scenes to maintain the constant pace and keep audience interesting.

Rest of the story is to be watched on big-screens.

Performances

Sudheer babu has performed well and he showed a good improvement in his acting while he already proved that he is brilliant at dancing.

Nanditha is the right choice for the film and she is brilliant at expressions and ease in performance. She looked cute and is an asset for the movie. Praveen and Giri have done hilarious roles

Technical Analyis

Despite the medium budget, the film is technically high. Cinematography and music are assets for this horror genre flick while background score is elevating. Editing is crisp. Prabhakar Reddy’s direction is good despite simple storyline. Screenplay is effective while the dialogues are entertaining. Production values are good.

Analysis

Prema Katha Chitram falls under horror genre yet the film will entertain with good comedy. The lead stars have done good job while Giri’s comedy is one of the assets of the film. PKC starts off slowly with few needless scenes but it picks up momentum and Nanditha has done extremely well during the pre-interval block while the second half is a fun-filled laugh riot. The Draupadi Vastrapaharanam scene is quite hilariously shot and the situational comedy worked well. Screenplay and dialogues along with re-recording are other assets besides the cast performances.Like several Maruthi films, this film also has few double-entrande. Despite few flaws, Prema Katha Chitram makes you glued to the screens for its right mix of horror and humor.

Final Verdict

Paisa Vasool Entertainer

Producer: B Subrahmaniam, S Suresh
Banner: Lakshmi Ganapathi Films
Music: Satya C

Story

Kumar (Siddharth), a young guy works as an IT employee who feels difficult to speak to women due to his bitter experiences in love.

George also love Sanjana and Kumar takes the advice of love guru Premji (Brahmanandam) to score good marks near Sanjana. Will Kumar be successful in love? What does the love guru do forms the story.

Performances

Siddharth as Kumar delivers his best, and he has selected the right script that works well for the comedy. He has done his part extremely well.

Hansika has a good role, she looked glamorous and as always doesn’t fail to impress with her expressions. Her body language, comedy and showing innocence in her role works big time. Her dance moves in Miss Missla song are quite good

Brahmanandam is an asset for the film. The scenes featuring him are quite hilarious. He is the real hero of the flick and had got full-length role. Samantha, Rana cameos need a mention. Other cast Ganesh Venkatraman, Venu Madhav are good in their roles, Nalini is loud at times. Others were adequate.

Technical Analysis

Satya’s songs are peppy and they have been shot well. However, the songs were speed breakers haltering the film’s pace. Cinematography is fine, while Praveen and Srikanth’s editing is crisp. Sundar C’s story isn’t unique but the screenplay is smartly penned though predictable in the latter half at times. Dialogues are entertaining. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Something Something sticks to its comedy genre and is sure to entertain you and provide ample laughs. The story is simple and looks like the main idea inspired from classic comedy Basu Chatterjee's Chhoti Si Baat (1975) in which Ashok Kumar plays love guru.

Sundar C’s smart screenplay makes the film fresh, funny and entertaining. Something Something works for its screenplay and perfect casting. Siddharth, Hansika’s chemistry, Brahmanandam’s fun-filled role as love guru are assets of the film. Also, the movie is neatly packaged with no double-entendre dialogues and humor has been built into the story with good twists and twirls. The dubbing quality could’ve been better.

The first half of the film is racy and entertaining, while the second half is lengthy and turns predictable. Nevertheless, the proceedings don’t fail to bring smiles.

Final Verdict

Fun-filled laughter riot!!!

Action 3D Telugu Movie Online

Film: Action 3D
Starring: Allari Naresh,Raju Sundaram,Shyam,Vaibhav, Neelam
Director: Anil Sunkara
Producer: Sunkara Ramabrahmam
Banner: AK Entertainments
Music: Bappa Lahiri

Story

The story begins with Sunil, actor narrating a story to director Posani. Bava (Allari Naresh), Purushottam(Raju Sundaram), Ajay (Kick Shyam) and Shiva (Vaibhav) are the best friends from childhood. With Ajay getting married to his lady love Shruthi (Sheena), the four friends plan for a trip and heads to Goa for the bachelor party. After reaching the place the four friends get drunk in the late night and have fun and when they wake up in the morning with a hangover, they find one among them going missing. What happened to the one guy, and what did they do the previous night ? Did the other friends find him forms the crux.

Performances

Allari Naresh has done the role with ease, and as always he rocks with his comic timing but the film offers nothing new for him. Raju Sundaram is hilarious with his antics and he brings out few laughs while Vaibhav and Kick Shyam are effective in their neat roles. Sudeep is brief but entertaining. Neelam Upadhyay looked good alongside Naresh while Sneha Ullal adds the oomph factor to the film. Brahmanamdam as Magnet Mama, M.S.Narayana with his spoofs are adequate while Bharat is wasted in a poor role.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Sarvesh Murari and Stereographer Keith drever delivers their best extending support to director’s ideas for the 3D format, the visuals are quite colorful and the 3D effect gives a whole new experience. Music by Bappa-Bappi Lahari is okay and the background score by Sunny is good. Editing is poorly done while the screenplay loses its pace. Production values are rich and lavish.

Analysis

Action 3D storyline is almost similar to Hangover flick and even the dialogues and screenplay reminds you of several other Bollywood films. Audiences who watched Hangover will not like Action 3D. However, the 3D effects scenes give a new experience to the audiences and the songs are interestingly shot. The performances of the cast are good but the director could have taken care on screenplay and dialogue for an effective output. The comedy was outdated and absurd while logic goes for a toss with many loopholes in the screenplay. The first half of the film has poor comedy scenes and the pace drops at times while the second half picks up momentum but the climax again loses its pace. The film offers a good watching experience with its 3D format.

Final Verdict

Watch it to experience the 3D effects on screens…

Balupu Telugu Movie Online

Film: Balupu
Starring: Ravi teja, Shruthi hassan, Anjali, Brahmanandam
Director: Gopichand Mallineni
Producer: Prasad Vara Potluri
Banner: PVP Cinemas
Music: Thaman SS

Story

Ravi (Raviteja), a bank recovery agent lives with his father Nana (Prakashraj) in Bangalore. Nana hopes to get his son married to a beautiful girl and Ravi comes accross Shruthi (Shruthi Hasan) and her uncle Crazy Mohan (Brahmi) who cheats the people around them with silly acts. When Ravi decides to teach a lesson to them, Shruti falls for him. Both the couple’s parents arrange for their engagement and Vizag Purna (Ashutosh Rana) enters the scenes revealing the actual identities of Ravi and Nana as Shankar and Nanaji. What is their flashback? Who is Anjali revealed by Vizag Purna, forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Ravi Teja as always delivers an energetic performance and with his typical style of dialogue delivery, Ravi Teja effortlessly engages the audiences. He dances with unmatched energy.

Shruti Haasan looks glamorous in the movie and she has pleasing screen presence. She sizzled in the songs and has proved that she can pull of glam doll roles well.

Anjali with an innocence in her role as a doctor managed to do the most impressive job. Her role is crucial part of the film and the song Ninnu Chusina was shot well.

Brahmanandam strikes equally and in fact he is an asset for the film. Crazy Mohan role in Balupu is one of his best in the recent times. Prakashraj plays his part earnestly while Adivi Sesh, Ashuthosh Rana leaves a lasting impact. Thagubothu Ramesh is okay but Ali’s comedy looked forced.

Technical Analysis

Jayanan Vincent camera works is good with colorful visuals. Thaman’s musical though not chartbusters, they make a decent listen. However the background score is loud. While the direction is good, screenplay is impressive in the first half. Editing could have been better in the second half. Dialogues are okay and might work with masses.

Production values are rich.

Analysis

Ravi Teja, Shruti Haasan and Brahmanandam comedy scenes are hilarious. Ravi Teja, Brahmi scenes have always worked on-screens and this time Shruti joins the duo. The Haasan girl appears in ultra glamorous outfits.

Brahmanandam is an asset for the film. His dances and antics on Gangnam style and Dil Jamping Japak tracks along with leads, followed by Iddarammayilatho spoof dialogue (Matallev Matladukovdallev) are sure to leave you in splits. The comedy is sensibly paced in the first half.

The pre-inteval portions are well shot with a good twist raising expectations on the second half. Emotional scenes are high in the second half and the film moves on a predictable note in the latter half. However, the pre-climax scenes involving Ravi Teja, Brahmi are hilarious and highly entertaining. Balupu follows regular commercial movie template with a routine storyline, yet Gopichand Malineni and his team makes it fun and entertaining.

Singam - Yamudu 2 Telugu Movie Online

Film: Singam
Starring: Suriya,Hansika,Anushka
Director: Hari
Producer: S.Lakshman Kumar
Banner: Studio Green
Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Story

The story takes off with the clippings of Yamudu from where it ended. Narasimham (Surya) joins as NCC school teacher following the orders of Minister working as undercover agent. He tracks the illegal activities of criminal networks and gets to know the smuggling activities of Bhai (Mukesh Rishi). He takes charge as DSP once he gets the needed evidences and in this regard he comes across international drug dealer Danny? How does he trap him and bashes up the baddies forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Suriya carries the film on his shoulders and he brings out the required body language and needed energy for his powerful role as a cop. He is a charmer and conveys much through eye expressions and shows his terrific screen presence. He lives up to the expectations bringing intensity to his character.

Hansika delivers a decent performance and her role in the film connects to the main plot. Anushka is glamorous but shares screen space just for the songs.

Vivek and Santhanam brings laughs to an extent, Vijay Kumar bags good role as minister, Rahman, Mukesh Rishi and Danny does what is required.

Technical Analysis

Priyan’s cinematography is on top rate capturing the beautiful Tuticorin and the South African locales. The songs have been shot well, though DSP tunes are mediocre. Background score is not so impressive. Screenplay is racy though predictable. Unnecessary scenes with loud action could have been edited as few parts have lengthy and repetitive. Production values are good.

Analysis

Director Hari has planned to make Singam as racy as possible and incorporate loads of commercial elements. But it has turned overdose in the second half of the film. Despite weaving it with racy and taut screenplay, overdose of action and too many negative characters, it turns repetitive. The lighter scenes are more enjoyable than the loud and numerous action sequences.

Vivek and Santhanam provide some relief to this non-stop action entertainer. The initial scenes of first half drag on but the story picks up pace when Suriya takes charge as DSP and the interval is quite good while the second half has racier screenplay. Climax is yet another downer.

Predictability, too many loud fights plays a spoilsport to this commercial mass entertainer though the proceedings are racy.

Final Verdict

Suriya with his electrifying performance makes the otherwise average entertainer engaging…

Sahasam Telugu Movie Online

Film: Sahasam
Starring: Gopichand, Tapsee, Shakti Kapoor
Director: Chandra Shekar Yeleti
Producer: B V N S prasad
Banner: Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra
Music: Sri

Story:

Goutham (Gopichand), who works as a security guard aims on fast money buying lottery tickets. As luck would have it, Goutham gets to know his grandfather Varma (Suman) has left valuable diamonds for his successors in Peshawar before the partition and now, the area falls in Pak and they are linked to Hinglaj Devi temple. Goutham decides to head to Pakistan and he takes the help of Srinidhi (Taapsee), an advocate of Hindu religion. Goutham later comes to know that Pakistani terrorists are eyeing on the same property. Will Goutham earn the property forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Gopichand is brilliant and delivers remarkable performance understanding his character, which he hasn’t done earlier. He shows power-packed performance in the action sequences and speaks with his body language.

Tapsee immerses herself into the role and enacts her part with gusto. Shakti Kapoor is magnificent setting the screen ablaze with his terrific performance. Narayana Murthy, Suman gives net performances and Ali entertains.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Shamdutt is rich and so is the art direction. Sri Chakravarthy’s background score is exhilarating. Director Ramakrishna’s art work needs special mention. Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao’s editing is appropriate. Chandrasekhar Yeleti’s direction is okay. Production values of Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra Creations are lavish.

Analysis

Three years after delivering a commendable film Prayanam, Chandrasekhar Yeleti comes up with yet another novel attempt Sahasam based on treasure hunt. The director takes us to the 70’s and 80’s to set the plot.

Yeleti has earlier proved that he is a commendable storyteller and with Sahasam he is almost at it but the dragged screenplay tests the patience in the second half. His research on Hinglaj temple in Pakistan proves his efforts. The visuals are grand and the scenes shot in Ladakh recreating Pakistani ambience are wonderful. The special effects leave a thrilling effect on-screen.

The film finds the humor element in situation scenes to the plot like lottery scenes, ATM robbery. The humor is interlaced in the screenplay and the plot doesn’t go out off the track striving for commercial ingredients. The songs at times act as hindrance to the proceedings although they sound good and creatively shot.

Sahasam rests on Gopichand and he does the job well working really hard on brilliantly shot action sequences. While the filmmaker handles few portions brilliantly, the screenplay should've been exhilarating and engaging towards the climax rather than dragging and lengthy. The main treasure hunt episode scenes lacked the much needed-strong impact.

Final Verdict

Sahasam is Yeleti's commendable attempt that caters to niche audiences

Producer: Neelima Tirumalasetti
Banner: Sangamithra Arts
Music: Shravan

Story

How does Janaki Ram fight back and teaches the baddies a lesson forms rest of the story

Performances

Debutant Rahul Venkat, Chiranjeevi’s nephew fails in emoting carrying flat expressions throughout. He needs to work on his expressions as well as looks.

Anisha looked good and has performed well, though was wasted in a poorly written character. Shatru as Mysa was good, Naga Babu and Tanikella Bharani were impressive. Sri Ramya is okay. Others were adequate.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Sujith Sarang looked classy, music by Shravan is the only asset for the film and songs Kadal Prema…, Koncham Koncham and Maarinde were shot neatly and are ear-pleasing. Background score is also impressive. Dialogues are crisp but looks forced in the screenplay. Sreejith Sarang, the editor could’ve done a better job. Debutant Daya’s direction is not up to the mark. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Alias Janaki storyline is routine with a weak script and debutant director Daya further failed in the execution part. Alias Janaki could have been a safe project as a feel good entertainer with a message, had the screenplay been taut and racy. The screenplay has been inconsistent with illogical proceedings. The love scenes are not properly established and the chemistry between the leads never workout, rather focuses on unnecessary aspects. Even the emotional scenes don’t work towards the proceedings. Poor performances and bad execution makes Alias Janaki tedious watch.

Final Verdict

Alias Janaki has nothing new to offer instead the poor performances and bad execution makes it a dull watch.

Adda Telugu Movie Online

Film: Adda
Starring: Sushanth, Shanvi, Tanikella Bharni, Suhasini
Director: Sai Karthik
Producer: Chintalapudi Srinivasa Rao,A Naga Susheela
Banner: Sri Nag Corporation
Music: Anoop Rubens

Story:

Adda opens with stylish entry by Abhi [Sushanth] a youngster specialized in creating rifts between lovers to raise money. Shanvi [Priya] approaches Abhi seeking a help for her sisters’s love marriage with Avasarala Rambabu. Meanwhile, duo starts liking each-other and a predictable twist is here. Actual story starts when Abhi writes a love letter to Priya and she gets impressed. How will Abhi manage to win Priya’s heart is climax of Adda.

Performance:

Sushanth has touched fox’s tail for tremendous openings that happened due to postponement of Attarintiki Daredi. While the actor’s expressions were ok, his dance knowledge helped him to go well with songs and the dialogue delivery needs an expression change with each.

Shanvi has given her best, as Priya she is a glam doll and feast to watch on screen.

Rest of the cast, Raghubabu, Jayaprakash Reddy, Dhanraj, Venu and Thagubothu Ramesh has done their parts well.

Shwetha Bharadwaj is hot in the item number and Special appearances by Nagarjuna and ANR in ‘Endukey’ song are appealing.

Technical Analysis:

Sai Karthik’s debut may not go well with all centers of audiences, as the script is not quite enthralling and slow paced narration. Somehow, his screenplay gelled with audiences specially teenagers.

Anoop Rubens musicals have helped the movie. Even though the choreography elevated the audio, few tracks were wasted.

Arun Kumar’s cinematography is ok. Editing could have been done better, as the climax and pre-climax appears to be exhausted.

Analysis:

Sushanth’s Adda is a drag for simple script with predictable twists. Debutant director Sai Karthik is potent that he made audiences to sit with his screenplay and comedy bits here and there. While the movie is not so gripping, climax and pre-climax scenes doomed.

Anoop Rubens scores are appealing but were placed untimely and few wasted. Sushanth is watchable with trendy look and Shanvi is an asset for Adda. First half is quite entertaining compared to the second because of one-liners and comic scenes.

Totally, crispy one-liners, dance and few songs are the highlights of Adda.

Sumanth Ashwin as Anil delivers a decent performance. He shows a remarkable improvement in emotional scenes and dialogue delivery compared to his debut Tuneega Tuneega. He impresses as a dancer as well.

Eesha is good looking and plays her role convincingly. Her chemistry with Sumanth Ashwin works out, which is the much needed factor for romantic entertainers.

Madhubala who made her comeback after a long gap is a show stealer. Rohini and Rao Ramesh are classy in their performances while Ravi Babu and Jhansi are impressive. Srinivas Avasarala entertains with witty one-liners. The film had an impressive casting.

Technical Analysis

PG Vindha’s cinematography is on top-class while Kalyani Malik’s music is melodious and impressive . Indraganti Mohan Krishna succeeds as a writer and director. The dialogues are quite impressive. Screenplay thrives in freshness and is engaging. Editing of the film is neatly done and art direction is good and the production values are rich.

Analysis

Anthaka Mundu Aa Tarvatha is an urbane romantic entertainer in Indraganti Mohan Krishna’s trademark style with clean entertainment. He succeeds as a director as well as writer. The film is Indraganti’s take on why life after wedding is not the same as before despite love marriage for many. The scenes are relatable; the story/concept is fresh, narration is simplistic yet the screenplay is engaging with matured handling.

The performances, lead pair chemistry, music, dialogues complement the film’s story. The first half offers entertainment with good one-liners while the second half is more of emotional scenes. The climax has been very well handled and is heart of the film though the pace has dropped in the post-interval scenes.

Final Verdict

Anthaka Mundu Aa Tarvatha is a well-handled matured love story… Sensible effort by director Indraganti Mohan Krishna

Prema Oka Maikam Telugu Movie Online

Film: Prema Oka Maikam
Starring: Charmi,Saranya,Rahul
Director: Chandu
Producer: Venkata Suresh and Srikanth Surya
Banner: Touring Talkies
Music: MGK Praveen,S.R.Posam

Story

Mallika (Charmee) is a call girl, who makes an accident with her car in a drunk state dashing 1 writer Lalith(Rahul) after which she joins the latter in a hospital with the help of her friend Vamshi (Rao Ramesh). Lalith loses his eye sight and Mallika takes him to her home and digs deep into his life with which he reveals about his story about a singer Swathi and his love. Rest of the story concludes with Mallika helping for Lalith’s love.

Performances

Filmmakers have projected this as Charmi’s woman-centric film but she had hardly scope for any role. She looked good in the two songs. Her own dubbing didn’t work in anyway.

Rahul and Saranya fails to grab the audiences interest with their bad acting. Despite performance scope character as a blind, Rahul fails to impress.

Rao Ramesh, Chandra Mohan are wasted, Thagubothu Ramesh provides some comic relief, Ravi Babu, Surekha Vani filled the screens.

Technical Analysis

Music by Praveen and Posham is pretty mediocre. Awachamaina has good lyrics but the misplacement of song tests the viewers patience. Re-recording is okay in parts. Cinematography is nothing to boast of, Editing is pathetic. Production Values are poor.

Analysis

Charmi looked beautiful in the film and she has got good screen presence but her role is limited and she just stays for first half an hour wrapping up her two songs and will appear only in the climax. Charmi’s role looked like an extended cameo. Prema Oka Maikam fails miserably in narration and presentation. Dialogues lack depth and look forcible; screenplay is inconsistent and quite predictable. Direction is pretty poor and one hour into the film, the plot goes off track highlighting supporting characterizations essayed by amateur actors. The film doesn’t provide any thrilling moments instead reminds us of many other films including the recent release Pavitra, Nuvvu Vastavani et al. The climax scenes are highly predictable and lacks interest.

Thoofan Telugu Movie Online

Film: Thoofan
Starring: Ram Charan, Priyanka Chopra, Sri Hari
Director: Apoorva Lakhia
Producer: Flying Turtles, Reliance Entertainment
Banner: Flying Turtles, Reliance Entertainment
Music: Chirantan Bhatt ,Meet Bros Anjjan ,Anand Raj Anand

Story

Vijay Khanna is aggressive young cop who is unable to change his attitude looking at the deteriorating system and this leads him in 22 transfers in 5 years. But Vijay Khanna doesn’t change his attitude and he gets transferred from Hyderabad to Mumbai. He gets the task on investigating deputy collector and soon he finds himself locking horns with oil mafia don Rudra Pratap Teja (Prakash Raj). Vijay Khanna also comes across Maya (Priyanka Chopra), an NRI who is eye-witness of the murder case and seeks her help giving shelter in his house. The rest of the story is about how Vijay Khanna fights against the system and his battle with Teja.

Performances

Ram Charan has stepped into the role of Big B and the actor fits into the aggressive cop role quite well. With a good screen presence, he grabs the audiences with his mannerisms.

Priyanka Chopra looked good but her characterization could have been better and her scenes looked silly at times. She looked hot in Pinky and Mumbai Ke hero songs though.

Srihari goes overboard at times while Prakash Raj gives a brilliant performance and Mahie Gill is just okay. Tanikella Bharani appears in a significant role and others were adequate.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography by Gururaj is neat while the musical scores are good the bgm is a great minus. Editing is inconsistent and dialogues lack the essence. Apoorva Lakhia fails to impress as director though he made the screenplay look racy. Production Values are good.

Analysis

The film had the similar plot as the original though not scene-to-scene remade but Apoorva Lakhia has missed on its essence in the remake. Thoofan is made on the modern day settings, but nothing works for the film. The writing is bad and the direction is poor while screenplay has loose ends. Misplacement of songs is another negative aspect of the film. Few action sequences and Ram Charan-Prakash Raj would entertain the mass masala movie lovers. Romantic scenes between Ram Charan and Priyanka Chopra could’ve been better. The second half has been a bit better than the first hour but the climax has been abruptly ended.

Final Verdict

Despite Ram Charan’s efforts, Thoofan couldn’t be saved due to bad execution!!!

Kiss Telugu Movie Online

Director: Shesh Adavi
Producer: Sai Kiran Adivi , Anand Batchu
Banner: My Dream Cinema Pvt. Ltd, Thousand Lights Inc. pro
Music: Sri Charan Paakaala, Peet

Story

Priya (Priya Bannerjee) lives in San Francisco with her parents but due to the strict restrictions from her parents and forced marriage, she runs away from house to commit suicide. Sunny (Adivi Sesh) comes to her rescue and makes her learn life is beautiful. In the short period, the duo falls in love and meanwhile, Priya’s parents and fiancée are in search of the lady. The rest forms the story.

Performances

Adivi Sesh looks good in few scenes and he performs well. Priya Banerjee looks bubbly and she plays her part convincingly.

Bharat Reddy is wasted in insignificant role, Shafi is noticeable, others weren’t upto the mark.

Technical analysis

Cinematography is classy and San Fransisco locales are beautifully captured. Music is okay while the background score could have been apt to the situational proceedings. Editing is pathetic. Lots of unnecessary scenes in the second half could have been trimmed down, Adivi Sesh scores in acting but as director he couldn’t leave his mark. Screenplay is awful. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Kiss story is routine while the screenplay is awful with inconsistent flow and loads of predictable scenes in the second half. The story moves on a boring note right from the word go and added to this the performances of supporting cast gets on to our nerves. Neither the comedy works nor the romantic scenes between the leads work for the Kiss film instead it makes the audiences loose patience and look for climax. Kiss has little entertainment but it goes in vain due to the staleness and illogical sequences. Editor should have sharpened his scissors to trim down unnecessary stuff especially the dragging scenes in the second half. The narration is dragging while the presentation is unconvincing giving an amateur attempt.

Final Verdict

Amateur attempt by Adivi Sesh

Potugadu Telugu Movie Online

Film: Potugadu
Starring: Manchu Manoj, Nathalia Kaur, Simran Mundi Kaur, Sakshi
Director: Pavan Wadeyar
Producer: Lagadapati Sridhar, Sireesha
Banner: Ramalakshmi Cine Creations banner
Music: Achu

Story

Govind (Manchu Manoj) tries to attempt suicide due to love failure but he comes across Venkat (Posani Krishna Murali), a software engineer who also gets rejected by a lady. The duo narrates their love stories to each other and Govind fails in love for four times with four girls Vaidehi (Simran), Mumtaz (Sakshi) Stacy (Rachel) and Mary (Anupriya). Will the duo give up their suicide idea and win their love forms the crux.

Performances

Manchu Manoj shows his extreme energetic levels in his acting skills. He has imitated Mohan Babu at times but he could have toned down his mannerisms to fit into the role better.

The film has four leading ladies. Simran Kaur is glamorous while Rachel fails to impress. Both Simran and Rachel got cameo roles. Anu Priya is impressive and emotes well while Sakshi Chowdary haven’t got good characterization.

Posani Krishna Murali is entertaining while Ali, Raghu Babu, Rajesh are okay. Others were adequate.

Technical Analysis

Achu composed music is asset for the film while the background score is impressive. Cinematography is neat and editing is crisper. Dialogues are witty and gel well with masses. Pawan Wadeyar scores in direction. Production values are good.

Analysis

Potugadu is packed with good entertainment and racy screenplay in the first half. Director has incorporated five love stories in the film. However, due to the run length the stories fail to connect emotionally but the double-entendre dialogues will connect well with the masses. Interval block is impressive. Second half could have been racier like the first half. The third story with Rachel isn’t properly established. Music is an additional asset for the film and Pyar Mein Padipoya, Devatha are visually pleasing. Potugadu offers commercial elements action, comedy, romance and pleasing music but the film is loud and lacks logic which might not go well specific audiences.

Final Verdict

Mass Entertainer!!! Worth a watch

Director: Trivikram Srinivas
Producer: BVSN Prasad
Banner: Reliance Entertainment
Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Story

Scene opens with upset Sashi (Samantha) narrating the flashback. Goutham Nanda (Pawan Kalyan), grandson of Raghuram Nanda (Boman Irani) stays in Milan.

Will he win his aunt affection? Whom will he marry in the end forms the crux of Attarintiki Daredi.

Performances

It’s a feast for Pawan Kalyan’s fans. Power Star has rocked the big-screens with highly energetic performance. His histrionics, dances, romance, action, comedy and emotional scenes are a treat to watch.

Samantha is gorgeous and as always she has a great screen presence. She draws the attention in every scene she had. Samantha shared sizzling chemistry with Pawan Kalyan. Watch the lovely song Ninnu Chudagane for Power Star and Samantha.

Praneetha is adorable in the film. She had good screen time in the first half and Praneetha is eye-candy in Bapu Gari Bomma song.

The entire cast did their best for the film. Nadhiya is classy and graceful, Boma Irani, Rao Ramesh are perfect, Mukesh Rishi is neat, Ali, Brahmanandam are hilarious.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography is neat, colorful. DSP’s music is biggest asset for the film and so is the background score. Trivikram scores as a writer and director. He has neatly packaged the film with entertainment. Screenplay is interesting and gripping Pravin Pudi’s editing is neat. VFX scenes could have been better. Production Values are rich.

Analysis

Attarintiki Daredi doesn’t have a great storyline but director Trivikram sure know how to package the film. Trivikram scores in neat packaging of Attarintiki Daredi with loads of entertainment and on Pawan Kalyan’s histrionics, body language and elevating heroism. Entertainment begins from the main plot after Pawan Kalyan stepping in India and there is no stop for Power Star here. Pawan Kalyan is amazing at spontaneity and comic timing. He has danced, fought, romanced, laughed, smiled, excelled in emotional scenes and surely entertained the target audiences. Pawan Kalyan’s dance movies in pub song and Babu gari Bomma are a treat. Screenplay is neat and with loads of entertainment scenes, audiences get engaged despite long run time. Brahamanandam is at his hilarious best especially in Ahalya comedy scenes.

Both Praneetha and Samantha are beautiful. Pawan Kalyan-Samantha’s chemistry in the initial second half is another asset for the movie. Ninnu Chudagane song is the best of the lot. Interval block and climax scenes are entertaining and Pawan Kalyan delivering emotional scenes are a highlight. Pawan Kalyan and lead actors performances, screenplay, entertaining episodes are positives for the film while Vfx works and pace at times are the minus. Nevertheless, Attarintiki Daredi is a clean entertainer to be watched on big-screens with your family.

Final Verdict

Pawan Kalyan’s show all the way… Entertainment guranteed!!!

Say NO to Piracy!!! Watch Attarintiki Daredi on big-screens.

Ramayya Vasthavayya Movie Review Telugu Movie Online

Film: Ramayya Vasthavayya
Starring: NTR, Samantha, Shruthi Hassan
Director: Harish Shankar
Producer: Dil Raju
Banner: Sri Venkateswara Creations banner
Music: Thaman SS

Story

Nandu (NTR), a college student and a happy-go-lucky guy comes across Akarsha (Samantha) and falls for her at the first sight. He tries to woo her with his witty ways and Akarsha finally falls for him. After the wedding event of Akarsha’s sister, Nandu’s violent past comes into picture. Nandu and Akarsha’s father (Mukesh Rishi) shares a past along with Ammulu (Shruti Haasan) and other evil politicians. What is Nandu’s past? Who is Ammulu forms the rest of the story.

Performances

NTR looked quite handsome and Ramayya Vasthavayya is definitely Young Tiger’s best look so far. The introduction scenes of the actor are feast to NTR’s fans while he has done some stylish dance moves. And as usual, NTR has rocked with his comic timing and dialogue delivery.

Samantha is glamorous and stylish in the film. She has more screen time in the first half and Sam makes her presence felt every time she appears on-screens. Samantha’s scenes with NTR are hilarious.

Shruti Haasan looked good and performed well. But her dubbing could’ve been better. Neneppudaina song is amazingly captured.

Rohini Hattangadi is neat, Ravi Shankar is revelation, Rao Ramesh is significant. Mukesh Rishi, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Nagineedu are adequate.

Technical Analysis

Cinematography is on top-notch while the musical scores are impressive. Jabilli, Neneppudaina and Pandaga Chesuko are choreographed well and neatly shot. Thaman’s background score is good in hero elevation scenes. Dialogues are very impressive. Harish Shankar has created magic with NTR in the first half but the second half could’ve been better. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Director Harish Shankar has showed NTR in the best look till date and fans are sure to enjoy the Young Tiger’s fit look, stylishness, romantic angle, dances and action. NTR’s intro scenes and Duryodana getup are a treat. The first half of the film is racy with the right mix of action and entertaining scenes of NTR, Samantha, Rohini Hattangadi. Interval bang is quite promising raising the expectations.

Second half of the film could have been better. Despite the revenge drama story, the screenplay isn’t much gripping and doesn’t leave strong impact for the audiences. There are too many multiple action sequences and fights and the entertainment quotient in the second half is missing. Climax was a routine fare. The best of Ramayya Vastavayya scenes include diary sequence, NTR, Samantha scenes, interval bang and NTR-Shruti Haasan scenes. With much gripping screenplay in the second half, Ramayya Vastavayya could’ve done wonders. Nevertheless, Ramayya Vasthavayya has a very good first half and few entertaining punch dialogues in the second half.

Final Verdict

Ramayya Vasthavayya is visual feast for NTR’s fans…
