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.
