Khaleja Movie Review-He's Back

Khaleja stars Mahesh Babu, Anushka in the lead roles,with Sunil,Prakash
Raj,Bhramanandham,Tanikella Bharani,and Ali in supporting roles. Direction is by Trivikam Srinivas, music by Mani Sharma and Cinematography by "Bachana Ae Haseeno" fame Sunil Patel. Khaleja was Mahesh's first film after a gap of 3 years, his last film being "Athidhi".


Story: Alluri Seetharama Raju aka Raju(Mahesh Babu) is a taxi dirver, whenever he encounters Subashni aka Subu(Anushka),she brings him bad luck. One day, 2 people get into his taxi, and they go to this construction place. One of the two leaves his wallet in Raju's taxi by accident; so Raju goes in to the construction site to give it back. When he gets there, he sees one of them get shot, while one of them jumps out the window and falls on top of Raju's cab. So the cab owner tells that the dude who fell on top of his car has 5 lakhs of insurance under his name,and his family is in Rajasthan. He travels there, but a surprise awaits him.....


Performances: Mahesh scores huge, in everything from looks to performance; apparently he spoke in Godavari dialect, wow he was too good. Everything about him in the movie is so cool; he completely changed his body language for the film.His comedy is a huge plus point, feels great to have him back on screen again. Anushka actually has a meaningful and glamourous role, surprisingly she almost lasts the whole movie. Sunil,Bhramandham,and Ali are freaking hilarious! XD  Prakash Raj and Tanikella Bharani are normally good. :)


Direction, is seriously normal, story is normal too except the stuff with Anushka and how Mahesh is seen as God. Music is the regular Mani stuff. My favs were Sada Siva and Boom Shakena. :)














You really don't notice a difference in the camera work, though its done by a bollywood cameraman.

Why I think it didn't do well at the BO: I think Khaleja didn't do well at the Box Office because of how Mahesh was looked upon as God in the film. Other fans might of not liked it, but I took it lightly; I mean its just a movie.


Watch it but put aside the factor of Mahesh being addressed as God in the film :)


3.5/5

Khaleja releasing in Tamil!

Prince Mahesh Babu's average Telugu flick Khaleja (2010), directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by Singanamala Ramesh under the banner of Kanakaratna Movies, is being dubbed in Tamil.

Notably, though Khaleja did not meet public expectations, it completed 100 days in Srinivasa Theatre, Chittoor. Anushka is the heroine. Music is by Mani Sharma, while cinematography is by Yash Butt and Sunil Patel.

The film revolves around Alluri Sitarama Raju (Mahesh Babu), a taxi driver. Subhashini (Anushka) is the girl who brings him bad luck and causes damage to his car and his body every time he meets her. He lands in Rajasthan to get a part of the insurance amount of a guy who died falling on his car. There, he again meets Subhashini, who is escaping from a gang of goons. Raju tries to save her and in his attempt, he is severely wounded and falls unconscious. When he wakes up, Raju finds himself in a village in Andhra Pradesh where all the people consider him like God. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

After ‘Dookudu’ it is ‘Veta’

Maheshbabu’s comeback film ‘Mahesh Khaleja’ after a gap of two years was proved a dud giving him a shock treatment. After learning a lesson, the Prince started signing films one after the other and had decided to get his films released in a row without a scope for the word gap.

Presently he is busy with ‘Dookudu’ directed by Sreenu Vaitla and the shooting is in progress at Turkey. Samanta is playing the heroine opposite Maheshbabu. The film is slated for release in March 2011.

His next film in the combination of Shankar is ‘3 Idiots’. The film is likely to go to sets in December this year.

But the latest information is that Mahesh also gave a green signal to Linguswamy and the film was said to have been titled ‘Veta’.

However, the film would start rolling only in the middle of 2011 and the director was asked to complete the entire script work. The names of other artistes and technicians are not immediately known.
