KSD Appalraju---->A Biopic!!

                                                                               

Wearing a branded tag means a lot in the market,the brand here refers to the mighty come home director Ram Gopal Verma AKA RGV AKA Ramu.Ramu is very much well known for his perplexing rather obscure kind of movies,some hate them and some do not.After enjoying a big hiatus ramu returned back to his home with a bang.He entered with a controversy which has been a trademark for himself,and you never know how this guy turns this controversy into a pure publicity.It was the story of Paritala Ravindra and Maddela Cheruvu Suri which made RGV closer to Telugus after a long gap.He walks in with a controversy and creates a sensation,RC was no different.RC's runaway success boosted RGV to make films in Telugu.RC2 was rather a dismal for ramu but never disheartened him.He is again back with KSD Appalraju which prophesied to be a comical entertainer.

Ksd was never a comical entertainer and it is a serious film.Though you feel it a bit comical in the first few frames it really tests your patience later.RGV missed something for the entire stretch of the movie which is referred to as screenplay.KSD Appalraju makes you mused and you cant decide,it falls in between a tragedy and a farce.RGV banked heavily on various real life personalities,it happens to be the first two songs which are an almost back to back,that makes you feel happy as in the teasers.You feel happy for Ramu as he is the only  guy who can barb the guys from the industry,but as the movie closes you embark on questioning why did this guy use the name of such personalities.The story was a peachy kind which could rather be well narrated but ramu wasted a good story line witha dull and idiotic characterization.


Moving onto the story details Appalraju is a passionate movie buff who hates the current trend of directors and moves to hyderabad with his script NAYAKI.He joins with his friend who even hails from amalapuram and is in search of good roles for a producer search.Luck favors appalraju and makes him meet Rakhi a producer who bestowed enough of A grade movies to the audience.Raju narrates his story to rakhi and later rakhi gets impressed by the storyline and asks Raju to move ahead.Rakhi falls short of money as his previous movies were biggest duds.Mean while rakhi hopes to cast Kanishka a famous star heroine.They approach a corporate company for finance,but the company oughts to offer finance only for a male star oriented films and asks to cast a bigger star in their movie.On the other hand kanishka is baby corn for a star hero BABU garu.Raju asks Kanishka to cast Babu garu in the movie and he accepts.The very next day,Kanishka brokes up with babu garu as he is into multiple affairs.KT,the opponent of Babu enters the game and gets himself into the movie.Srisailam anna is a big don and comes into finance the Film and also pens the lyrics for the movie.Babu garu is elicited with the pairing up of kanishka and KT,thus he starts taking measures to stop the movie from releasing.Does he succeed or not??Was appalraju right in compromising various things forms the rest.


The story gets dissolved at many places and makes you feel reluctant to watch the rest.The concept and the story line can be well appreciated but it would have been better if the director had dealt with a little more care.The characterization of Sunil is a major backdrop for the movie,you seem mused to see why the hell is sunil irritated for every frame.Sunil was seen rather in an adamant role which seems to be disastrous to many.Swathi's role was precise and she was seen here and there and she requires no mention Adarsh,Ajay,Sakshi Gulati were the saving grace.After watching this one can feel this to be a biopic of ramu himself.He rather wanted to configure a cinematic environment wherein he could portray himself as a compromising director.He stressed the words 'NAA ISTAM' and 'NA CINEMA' often,which makes one feel its RGV style.The first half of the cinema runs on a faster pace and makes it a racy script but the second half was rather a patience tester all the way.Every scene was dragged as much as they can and this is the point an audien gets irritated and walks out from the hall.



Brahmanandam,Ali,Venu filled the gaps but couldnt shower laughs this time.The climax even is a clumsy irritating as it looks like a B-GRADE film set.Ramu finally leaves you on a confusing note as before.The audien has a question now "Does a movie with a good story stand for a long run at the box office or it is the Big hands that make them go down"...You never know the answer.RGV as he said in his movie tries to sell a cheaper product for a false price.Few scenes with humor quotient clicked despite a tragic performance by all.Ali and Venu brought in a few smiles here and there.Finally its a dismal at the box-office.



Verdict:Ramu tries to sell a cheaper product with a false price,never fall for it. 

Golconda High School-A Passionate Underdog

                                                                                    

Telugu film industry has been known for its various types of romantic and rom com genre movies and it has reached a situation where in it was attributed only for making movies on rom-com genre.The time has come for the industry to transmute into a new dimension.Now the story tellers are preferring an off-beat kind of narration rather than the common paaro n devD kind.
    

Well Golconda High School is never an exception of this kind.
The direc Mohan krishna indraganti has come up with a passionate and time squandering film.The story of this Sumanth starrer film can be narrated in a line or two.But the screenplay takes a worth mention.Set on a 120 minute timeline the movie promises you enough of entertainment and motivation.The movie makes you you ponder your school memories on a sluggish note.It tests your patience for a 15 minute stretch but makes sit right for the next few minutes.

Probing into the story line,Sumanth is an Ex student of GHS who left the school in 1996.He works his hand in business but later quits and finds time.Subbaraju,one of the trustees of GHS plans to erect an IIT oriented coaching center in the play ground of GHS which is considered to be prestigious by the institution.Tanikella who happens to be the principal of the school strictly opposes this and starts paving way to this problem.GHS Cricket team was the champion until the year 1995 but loses its glory later.Tanikella defends the problem by prompting the teams victory in the coming championship.Thus he appoints Sumanth as the Cricket coach as he was a commendable player in 1996 batch.Sumanth signs in a challenge with Subbaraju in halting their Erection.

And now all know whats going to happen finally.The direc portrayed the students to be adamant and the ways by which they can be brought on to a common platform.He depicted how even an underdog can win over,and its not a big deal when you have a strong determination.He was quite successful in bringing out the present agenda of the corporate schools and how cheap they behave to reach atop.Swathi plays a the role of an english teacher with a retro kinda dressing style.Sumanth was looking great in the role of an instructor and so Swathi.The film leaves you on richer style and look,it forays into the cooler and sensitive part of your conscious.

Having watched the film you cerebrate often about the outfits,style and grandeur that was portrayed.Though it was a mediocre attempt with a poor story line,the direct demands the audien to sit inside the hall for the richness.It would have been better if narrator had tried a more complicated story line and a more humor quotient.

Commenting on the performances it was a good and neat cameo.Sumanth was obviously at his best,atleast now its high time he realize the fact hez an apt choice for classy roles.It would rather be appreciated if he stops doing any such goonda kinda movies.Swathi was cute and neat with her homely looks and tanikella,subbaraju did their bit as required.The sequences with the children are worth a mention,there was an utter naturality in their action.

Verdict:A commendable off-beat that promises you to ponder!!

Mirapakaay-A No Different Piquant tale!!

Well its been a long tym since i hav essayed films...no personal reasons though!!A weekend exam schedule is solely responsible 4 a delay in reciprocatiion!!I really dont want to catch up with tym and neglect the past movees i hav not yet essayed....here we go!!!!

                                                                              

      Ravi Teja is a crazy star who steered himself into a unique track.Mirapakaay is no exception,It was Don Seenu which was a run away success and made ravi turn into a mass maharaaja genre!!The direc of the movie harish shankar had a hair thin story line which was already dealt with un-necessary action sequences before.The story can be wrapped up in juz not less than ten sequences but direc stuffed in a lot n lot of humor which makes the magic this time!!

Moving into the story line Ravi is a fun loving and a lady-lovin cop who has his work done in an idiotic accent.This makes him enviable by his senior Brahmaji,a humor char that draws a bellyful of laughs.Rishi(Ravi) is suspended on a funny note making him an undercover cop who starts his journey to break the nuts-off the antagonist.Rishi takes in the avatar of a college Hindi professor.He falls in love with a brahmin gal there...Why does he take mask of a professor???Does he finish the mission and woo his lady love forms the rest of the story.

The direc shud be appreciated as, with such a thin piece of storyline its very tough one gets the right script and touch the right nerve and string.The direc has proved hos mettle in this dept.The first half has a racy pace with a required commercial appeal and pinch of story line...to speak frankly there were hardly 5 to 6 scenes that remind you of the story line...all the rest were fillers!!!

Ravi was as energetic as before and he was seen for almost a 150 min stretch...he held the movie on his shoulders.His style,accent,body language proved awsome again.Though the story line reminds you of pokiri,the direc made a change by revealing ravi as an undercover cop in the beginning.These kind of mundane storylines prove their mettle when dealt with the required commercial elements.The first half was hillarious with a satirical humor and you cant stop laughing, i swear even when the punch goes a li'l cheap!!!The accent and body language with which ravi delivers makes u jump out of ur seats!!!

Performances by every artiste in the movie were apt and worth mentioning...ali as alpacheno was hillarious throughout who was also accompanied by Brahmaji.Kota's character was well etched with humor!!He also balanced it with a villainish quotient though!Richa Gangopadhyay warned her fans that shez gonna be seen as namitha's sequel soon.She was too fat on screen and it was disgusting to see her jumping her bumps out for the song sequences.It would be better if she starts concentrating on fat factor.There was not much room for her to render a expressive role though.Deeksha seth was the second lead lady in the movie and she needs a mention,She had improved her oomph factor a lot when compared to vedam and she makes her appeal felt with her acting too.She was gud at her expressions ,she made the screen look colorful in a song too!!Way to go deeksha!!
Ajay donned the role of a thoughtful brother and a fuelling son to the antagonist.He was brief with his characterization.Prakash Raj was seen for 5-6 frames and made his presence felt.Sunil brought laughs with his usual music genre humor which were well etched!!Nagababu too was not seen in many of the scenes but was gud!!

Thaman proved he wud be at his best only wid a ravi-thaman combo...all the songs were kickass and the steps were also well composed....the BGM was kinda ok and the cinematography was apt.This is for sure a paisa vasool cinema and the audien is entertained in every frame.

Verdict:Its a RAVI TEJA branded movie.A top BRAND!!Surely don miss it!!!
