In this fakely wound web of busy life, Panduranagadu is worth a watch for all of us for the bottom line it tries to convey-Respect parents. Parents are more than the God himself.
Also, it is a decent to attempt to showcase our culture,devotion and traditions.
Artist's Performance :
Balakrishna is simply graceful in dual roles as Pundareeka and Lord Krishna.esp. as Lord krishna, he has relived some of the moments of the Legend, the great, late NTR.
Also, the thought provoking discussions on Bhakti and Tatva are very engaging to the audience and makes them immersed into the story.
The role is a cake-walk for sneha.She has done this meaty kind of a understanding wife to perfection.Tabu is used mainly to woo the front benchers and she doesn't do injustice either.
Mohan Babu , though appeared in a brief role, has to applauded for his effort and it is his role that adds momentum to the movie in the later half.
Technical Depeartements :
Raghavendra Rao should be commended for his ability to drive a devotional message in a
commercial way. He has done it again and only he can do it. No others can even try.
Bharavi ,excepting a few times, where dialogues seem insipid and doesn't seem to have come from enough depth- otherwise he has put in brilliant performance in providing the script with all needed ingradients.
Music by MM keeravani is another very useful addtion to the movie.
Scenes to watch out for :
The very entry scene of Lord Krishna : "viswaroopam" ( Theatre resounded with claps)
The scene of pundareeka asking Lord to wait outside as he has to complete his pithru seva.
Weakness :
Couple of double meaning dialogues- comedy is below par.
Tabu probably went over-board ( esp. in "kosala desapu" song)
The sets of Brindavanam etc.,
Having said that, the movie is worth a watch for all the good efforts put in by "few good men".

BujjiGadu - storylo konchem weak ayyadu
It is so easy to put the blame for weak collections in tollywood on scorching heat, the big success of IPL etc., we should not forget the fact that, the movies of late have to blame themselves for this situation. Infact we are reaching mid-2008, still, we donn have a pokiri , simhadri ,a samara simha erddy or a tagore yet this year that set box office ringing and stands out as contender for the year's best . Like Okka Magaadu,Jalsa,kantri,parugu - Bujjigadu was another movie, which if it got its basics right would have been the first big hit of the season.( Jalsa collected lot of money, but as everybody accepts, it is more a 50-day movie ).
Bujjigadu has all the inputs to make it big- The macho man Prabhas, cute Trisha, Mohan babu - the legend ( or say, the celebrity) and above all- the pokiri director in tollywood- one and only Puri.
But , if you go with the expectation of Union of all these talents- there you are , watch your leg now, it is already in the mud. It is not even intersection,to say the least.
Stroy line is wafer thin, hero(Bujji) , native of vizag, leaves his parents in his childhood, as his childhood friend(chitti) asks him not to talk with her anymore , a reason which they themselves call silly-so we can conclude for a silly reason only to spend the rest of his childhood in chennai beating up goons -again for no reason, etc., . After 12 years, how bujji retruns back to vizag and wins chitti forms the rest of the film.
First half is fairly simple and entertaining with good hummable songs with elegant picturisation ( esp. the song with trisha, shown in multiple frames on the screen)
Second half is a painful drag, as the screenplay looks lost and the story doesn't seem to go anywhere( infact, it neednot go anywhere , we can have climax immediately after the interval)
Prabhas is really cool and goadavari accent suited him well.
Mohan babu is wasted in the movie, some there is no energy at all in his character.
Trisha and sanjana has nothing much to offer.
sandeep chowta , has given some peppy numbers .
Comedy track is forgetable to say the least.
The strenghts of the movie : Prabhas, first half of the movie
The Weakness : Mohan Babu, very weak villany, and poor screenplay in second half, worst comedy
The biggest flaw :
The main villains in the movie machireddy ( kota ) and his sons, by nature they are weak and cannot handle sivanna ( mohan babu) alone and request bujji to do this favour for them.
Now just imagine bujji joining hands with sivanna by end of first half to eliminate these alrady weak fellows.
Overall yet antoher much expected movie turned dud.
With not much happening in movie front,and deccan chargers ousted in IPL, the by-election in some regions of Telangana is the happening topic in AP right now, with All political parties keeping their fingers crossed .
Tommorow I am going to vote. Long live democracy.
