Mini Reviews-SMRMPEPVOB

Finally posting after a ton of days :D I didn't want the title to be long so, I put the initials of the movies, Im going to give mini reviews of: S-Siruthai, M-Mirapakay,-R-Ragada,MP-Mandhira Punnagai,E-Eesan,P-Poo,VOB-Veruthe Oru Bharya.

Siruthai- Starring Karthi and Tamanna in the lead roles,remake of Vikramarkudu(Telugu). The movie was less emotional than its original, also had less glamour too. Karthi was so cute along with the kid has a loving father :) I Was WRONG. Karthi can do any type of role. I truly didn't think Karthi could pull a role of a cop off, but he did. :) Tamanna didn't have much to do then look pretty, but her role wasn't bad. Karthi and Tamanna always make a good couple, though they couldn't pull of a "Paiyaa" again. Music was ok, Chellam Vada and Adi Rakkamma stuck out.



Final- Decent Remake 3.25/5

Mirpakay-Stars Ravi Teja,Richa Gangopadhyay,and Deeksha Seth in the lead roles. An entertaining story,with Ravi's craziness and energy to add too it :) Ravi's energetic self is definitely a plus point for the film. Was shocking to see Richa in a bold type of role, lol, especially in one song, though her role was of a Brahmin gal,which she did well in. :D Deeksha was bad in her expressions. She HAS to do something about it. I thought her character was etched out pretty badly. I mean which gal would take it lightly after she finds out that impressing her was part of the heros job in the film? Hope you get what I'm saying. SS Thaman proves himself once again :) Loved Silaka and Dhinaku Dhin :)


Final- Funny 3.5/5

Ragada-Stars Nagarjuna,Anushka,and Priyamani in the lead roles. Im going to tell you in the beginning, this is a waste of your time! DON'T WATCH IT! Its your regular "run of the mill" story, and boring. Anushka and Priyamani have seriously nothing to do. Nag has unnecessary build ups to do. The twists actually surprise you :D Only good things about the movie: The songs, and the twists.



Final: Waste of your time 1.5-2/5

Mandhira Punnagai- Stars director Karu Pazhaniappan,Meenakshi in the lead roles. Okay story, though Both the lead stars could have acted wayy better. Something about Karu's voice really annoyed me and Meenakshi's face didn't suit the dubbing voice.


Final: Watch it if you want 3/5

Eesan: Stars Samuthirakani,Vaibhav,Abhinaya,Aparna Bajpal,Thulasi,Dushy,and A.L Alagappan in the lead roles. The story is very alertive to girls, yet extremely heart breaking. It scares you to discover that there are such people in the world, it makes you want to take action. Everyone acted well, though this is not Sasikumar's best its good :) People seemed to have expected more from him, which isn't wrong. Music isn't anything special to say about, but Jilla Vittu seemed to be pretty popular. Sad but the ending satisfies you, but leaves a irritating feeling hanging in you.



Final: Tragic 3.5/5

Poo: Stars Parvathy and Srikanth in the lead roles. Its really annoying how Srikanth doesn't get to marry Parvathy in the movie, really irritated me :( I found it agonizing and gut-renching :( Parvathy is something to talk about,she acted so well, that we understand and feel what she is going through. Hats off to Srikanth for talking up a role in a heroine-oriented film, I don't think a hero would ever take up a role like this.



Final: Makes you love and sad 3.5/5

Veruthe Oru Bharya: Stars Jayaram,Gopika and Nivedhita in the lead roles. Story is very realistic, as a woman it really gets on your nerves. But as you see Jayaram transform into an ideal husband, your heart starts melting. Jayaram is the real show stealer of the movie, while Gopika represents a normal housewife, which she does very well. Nivedhita acts as the daughter of Jayaram and Gopika, which she is good in.



Final: Okay 3/5

Three hits of Tollywood

Though the year 2010 ended on a bitter note with huge losses for Tollywood, January 2011 brought some respite in the form of three films that worked at the box office. If our sources in film industry are to be believed, 'Mirapakaya' of Raviteja is doing good business even after two weeks after its release.

'Golconda High School' starring Sumanth evoked good response from multiplex audience and ditto with Nani's 'Ala Modalaindi'.

'Ala Modalaindi' a slapstick comedy with hero playing 'Gay' shade charecter, released without much publicity is running housefull in several theatres and many a places, theatres have been increased for this movie as the collections are encouraging.The word of mouth publicity for this film is strong and young audience are thronging to theatres.

As per the latest report, 'Mirapakaya' collected Rs 25.4 crore in two weeks. So, January this year proved lucky for the industry with already three decent hits. Hope more blockbusters will follow this year.

Is ‘PVC’ able to face Mirapakay spice

Let us recall that Balakrishna’s ‘Okka Magaadu’ could not withstand the threat posed by Raviteja’s ‘Krishna’ few years ago and the film turned out to be a major disaster.

After two long years, again Balakrishna’s release ‘Parama Veera Chakra’ is likely to face another threat from Raviteja in the form of ‘Mirapakay’. Though ‘Mirapakay’ was supposed to be released in December, it was put off due to the strike in the Tollywood and somehow completed the balance post-production works and is slated for release on December 31.

However, the makers might delay the release further by another week or so, as Nagarjuna’s ‘Ragada’ earns a near hit talk and had lots of mass appeal.

In this backdrop, producer Ramesh Puppala and director Harish Shankar are planning to shift the release date to January 6. With ‘Parama Veera Chakra’ slated for Pongal release, the film is most likely to face Raviteja threat again this year.

The ladies of Ravi Teja’s ‘Veera’

He’s the crazy star of Telugu Cinema and he’s also the playboy now! Ravi Teja who’s fast completing his ‘Mirapakaya’ is ready for his next project ‘Veera’ and guess what, he’s in the company of three heroines!

Though Tapsee was the only heroine confirmed at the beginning, now lasses Kajal and Manjari have also joined the cast of the movie. According to IndiaGlitz Intelligence, the script is a complete entertainer that will be directed by Ramesh Varma, who made ‘Ride’ with Nani and Tanish before. Highlight of the movie is that Pararchuri Brothers are writing the dialogues of the movie! So expect masala dialogues that will make the audience keep clapping!

Richa Gangopadhyay turns a busy bee

Richa Gangopadhyay, who made her debut with ‘Leader’ is choosing her career in a calculated way and is very cautious while accepting films.

After ‘Leader’, she is playing opposite Raviteja in Mirapakaya and also opposite Venkatesh in ‘Nagavalli’, the sequel of Chandramukhi under Vasu direction. She claimed that her roles in both the films are significant and had good scope for performance.

She was so elated to say, ‘In my debut film I paired up with Daggubati Rana and now I am the leading lady opposite his uncle Venkatesh. In Mirapakaya also, I am playing the role of a Brahmin girl and I had an ample scope to show my acting abilities.’
