Review
Story
Murali (Bala Krishna) is a caring brother of a physically handicapped sister who studies in Hyderabad. Peddiraju (Sayaji Shinde) – nemesis of Murali – is biding his time in jail as his men search for Murali to assassinate him. The main story of the film is all about why there is enmity between Murali and Peddiraju and how they settle the scores.
Artists Performance
Bala Krishna: Bala Krishna changed his body language and tried to do casual acting compared to his earlier films. You can see his trademark ferocity and dialogue delivery only in scenes where it is absolutely necessary. His comedy as innocent man in romantic thread with Tanu Sri Dutta is good. His performance as a man longing for love from family members is excellent. Bala Krishna changed his dancing style too. He tried certain variety steps in casual style for ‘Jujibi’ song which got tremendous response in theaters.
Heroines: Sada did the role of mass masala girl who troubles the hero at every opportunity she gets. Her character in this film is in contrast with her type of homely girl roles. Tanu Sri Dutta is neat as the main heroine. She is a treat to watch in songs with scant cloths. Both heroines got two duets each with Bala Krishna.
Others: Sayaji Shinde is good as the main villain. Prakash Raj has done the role of a crooked father. The girl who acted as Bala Krishna’s sister is pretty good in histrionics and looks. Rajan P Dev is fair in a vital role. Upcoming artist Ajay has got considerable footage in this film. The comedy gang of Brahmnandam, Kovai Sarala and Venu Madhav are ok in first half. MS Narayana is entertaining as the sidekick of the villain.
Technical Departments:
Story - screenplay - Direction: The story of the film is pretty big with sister sentiment incorporated throughout. AS Ravi Kumar Chowdary’s direction is OK. Screenplay should have been better. The director tried to stuff in the entire story in the second half instead of distributing it. Director succeeded in creating humor in scenes where hero personally admit the baddies he bashed up in hospital and tries to woo heroine by trying special appearance and walking style.
Other departments: Marudhuri Raja has come up some powerful dialogues and sensible sentiment dialogues. A few dialogues that refer to Bala Krishna as future CM got tremendous applause from the crowds. Music by Mani Sharma is good with three songs (Jujubi, Janam Kosam & Ababba) picturized pretty well on screen. Stunts of the film are alright. Cinematography by Ram Prasad is good.
Analysis: First half of the film is satisfactory with entertainment. The second half is stuffed with lot of story. The director exploited the sentiment aspect of the film a lot in second half. This film will cater to the main strength of Bala Krishna, that is masses! Veerabhadra will have better appeal in B and C centers.
**** Puttukichiiiiiii...................
At present, Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri is milking the money at Box-office like anything. It has got huge hit talk, though its total range of success can be gauged a week later only. On the first day of its release, the film’s talk was not that encouraging because of its excessive action sequences in the second half and lewd dialogues and scenes in the film. But as Veerabhadra turned out to be losing proposition and students and youth are having summer holidays, the films collections are stupendous.
Everyone agrees the fact that Pokiri has nothing new in terms of content but it is Mahesh’s performance and Illena’s charm are working in favor of the film. Youth are gaga over Mahesh Babu in this film. Some films get all the luck, just like it.
Even in B centers like Gudiwada in Krishna district it is getting record-breaking collections. In Nizam (bought by Dil Raju), Guntur and Krishna (rights bought by Geeta Arts and B Madhu) territories, the film has seen massive openings.
But will it continue its success streak till the end? It remains to be seen. Its range of success depends on Bangaram’s fate. Even if Bangaram gets ‘average talk’, Pawan can pull of his film to big hit.
Anyhow, as of now, director and producer Puri Jagannadh is enjoying the moments. For his last three films – Andhrawala, 143 and Super were misfires at box-office. With this hit, he is again on center stage.
Even for Mahesh, the film’s success puts him in gear. For he never tasted two successes in a row.
Bangaram not going to release in chennai as producer appachan,who bought remake rights of it put a condition that not to release in chennai.So AMRatnam returned the advance to Satyam theater.
Chennai fans are going to tirupathi,nellore to watch the movie on release day.
midnightshows are going to start in few hours in Ceded area
How is Bangaram?
it's a regular mass masala story and got flop talk every where
Pokiri might get benifit because of Veerabhadra and Bangaram
here is the review of Bangaram
What's it about
The film is all about a young man risking his life to bring the estranged lovers together.
Bangaram (Pawan Kalyan) is a journalist. His ambition in life is to join in BBC. His boss fires him, when he fails to bring the interview of a terrorist leader. Bangaram approaches the chairperson of the channel, Peddireddy (Mukeshi Rishi). By consequence of events, Bangaram is forced to spend some days with Peddireddy's family consisting of his two daughters –
Sandhya (Meera Chopra) and Vindhya (Baby). Impressed with local faction leader Bhoomareddy's (Ashutosh Rana) style of functioning Peddireddy fixes his daughter Sandhya's marriage with Bhoomareddy's brother. The story then turns. Sandhya has a lover (Raja) with whom she is planning to get married soon. The rest of the film is how our hero Bangaram brings the two lovers together.
Analysis
In one word, you can say it is big bore to the hilt. On the surface, the film's basic storyline is similar to that of Tarun's disaster, Soggadu. But Bangaram is loaded with factionism in second half. Though the basic plot of the film is interesting but the director's inability to narrate to hold the audiences' interest till the end worsens the film. The first half is very slow, and the post interval scenes are laced with too much violence and logic less situations. But Pawan tries to salvage the film in the last 20 minutes with his befitting performance. Even technically it is very average film.
What's hot?
Pawan Kalyan is at his best in some portions like imitating the heroine. Though there is nothing extraordinary about his performance, he has done justice to the role. Two songs – Ra ..Ra Bangaram and item number – are good. The surprise element in the film is Trisha making a special appearance.
What's not?
To be frank everything is wrong in this film. The second half puts the audiences on the burner. No entertaining values, typical faction film episodes, not-so-good music and bad direction work against the film. The so-called Tamil hit director Dharani has proved nothing in this film. His directing capabilities and his narrative style are very substandard. Our Telugu directors have done better job than he has with Pawan films in the past. Director Dharani and his absurd narrative style could prove fatal for this film. God knows why the director showed a 12-year kid in pain and further she is shown getting married (even if it is in dream sequence). All this is really sick. How could a direct be so insensitive? If there is something that is to be criticized severely,it is director's lack of sensitivity. Vidyasagar once again proves that in Telugu he cannot come up with winning music. Rakhi Rajesh's action episodes are numb.
Bottom line
It is big disappointment on the whole. For general audiences it is another disastrous film from Pawan Kalyan. Fans in the B and C centers can only save his the film.
