Neeku Naaku Dash Dash Review

There was a defining moment in Nuvvu-Nenu when Uday Kiran detested the tyranny of elders like a puerile, saying "Chi chi mee peddolu unnare.."  Watching Neeka Naku Dash Dash one feels that...

  Racha is a film where the heroine's Mission Dammu culminates in finding a hero with the strength of one thousand men and intelligence of one lakh people (!), and the hero comes to know who is...

3 Review

Lovely Review

Lovely is a film where the hero has to deal with a difficult father before he could marry his girl and the father happens to love his daughter so much so that he cannot think of letting his...

Eerojullo Review

Eerojullo is sensitivity-meets-realism.  Like a Ravi Babu film it packs the elements of quirkiness, innocence and depth at once.  For a film made on a shoestring budget (just a crore,...

Naa Istam Review

Naa Istam is a film that gets curioser and curioser in the first half, more and more predictable in the second half and hackneyed in the climax.  Rana plays Ganesh, a self-centered guy who...

Nuvvaa Nena Review

Nuvva Nena is an apt title.  It is because the director and the actors (almost all the characters in the movie) are competitively brainless here!  While Allari Naresh and Sharwanand act...

Mr Nookayya Review

Mr. Nookayya begins with the entire story, except the climax, shown in slow motion in a span of less than a minute.  The hero is being tortured, you see a woman falling off from a height into...

Malligadu Review

Watching Malligadu, one feels that post Sethu (Seshu) and Pithamagan (Shiva Putrudu), some of the Tamil directors have been making tragedies for the sake of making tragedies!  Being a Bala...

Ishq Review

Watching Ishq, one is reminded of so many influences.  Vikram K Kumar, who might have surprised an RGV with that genuine horror flick 13B, seems to imbibe the qualities of VV Vinayak and...

Love Failure Review

  What does Love Failure conclude for the rest of us?  That reaching a breaking point in a relationship is the best remedy for the malady of 'love failure'.  In this sense, the film...

SMS (Shiva Manasulo Shruti) Review

How long does it take a boy to reciprocate his love for a girl after he knows that he is very much in the cute lady's heart?  For the male lead of SMS, it takes a dramatic climax.  Why?...

Dhoni Review

Prakash Raj's Dhoni is a whiff of fresh air in more sense than one.  The best part of this film is that it doesn't sound a bit cliched despite its lead character (Prakash Raj as a widower...

Rushi Review

The strength of this seemingly highbrow film called Rushi lies in intermingling emotions, romance, sentiment and debate in the right proportions.  Director Raj Madiraju shows a characteristic...

Snehithudu Review

It is ironical for a film that takes a dig at the rote learning system to copy every single facet, aspect and nuance from the original, 3 Idiots.  If you watch the movie expecting Shankar's...

Ayyare Review

We live in a country where terrorists are given biryani and patriotism is censored, so goes the collective lament of our men.  There comes a point in Ayyare when Rajendra Prasad stumbles upon...

Bodyguard Review

If you have watched Siddique's Bodyguard already, there is still every reason why you should go for Gopichand Malineni's Bodyguard.  If not for anything, to watch Venkatesh and Trisha deliver...

Business Man Review

Kshetram Review

In Kshetram you see Jagapathi Babu excelling in his mien, comportment, deportment, body movements, shrieking, wielding a larger-than-life sword, sporting a caricaturish moustache - that is,...
