Seenu Vytla Maro Hitku "Ready" - Review

Seenu Vytla has got this unique nack of getting runaway hits and he proved himself correct yet again with the latest entertainer "Ready " starring Ram and Genelia.
Chandu(Ram) is a happy -go-lucky kid in his family and a friendly natured person.In his attempt to marry his friend with his lover, he accidentally abducts pooja (Genelia) who happens to hail from a factionist family and the rest....... is expected.
Though the story has nothing home to write about, and reminds us of "Dhee" and "Vinodam" every now and then,,,, but vytla's trademark comedy do pack a punch.
Brahmandam as Mc Donald Murthy, and Sunila as classical dancer "janaki" tickle the ribs of the audience.
Ram did a decent job trying to be original and Genelia as usual at bubbly best .
Also worth metnioning is the cinematography, peter hein's action sequences, and slick editing adding rich production values to the movie.
On a whole , a decent watch.
Rating : 3.25/5

Strengths : Comedy by sunil and brahmanandam,
second half is gripping.
Weakness : Devi's music.
First half drags a bit.

Top Telugu Movies

It took long time for me make my movie blog active. Anyway I promise all my readers to contribute actively in my blog and make it interesting also. I always wanted to give something specia which you will not find it about movies in regular sites.
I attempted to give the viewers the bussiness side of movie but readers suggested this is not something passionate movies fan wants. So I am going back to basics to generate some passionate content about the movies.

So many people are wondering what would be the best made telugu movies ever? My attempt is also exactly that. With the help of my friends I came up with top telugu movies list. Of course anything of this sort will be subjective to my (other contributors) taste. We did make a good effort to make it objective.

We tried to consider all the movies from all generations (from 1950s to latest), all genres (Action, Love, Sentiment, Comedy, Family etc). However if you disagree with my views, feel free to leave your valuble comments.

Onething I can certainly say that, any one is all the list of movies if you watch you will not get disappointed or boared. If you haven't wathed any of them, please go and get the DVD and Have Fun.

Sarkar Raj- A good watch

Sarkar Raj released today amidst of high expectations and it did not let down much.
The movie is a powerful political tale which revolves round setting up of power plant in rural areas of maharashtra.
Amitabh holds the fort in the movie yet again, and gives a gripping performance keeping the audiences attended to the seat.
The movie showcases the human side of Subhash Nagre( sarkar) , while the prequel showed his power .
Abhishek as the quick and smart son ably carrying on the activities of the sarkar , under the guidance of his father has done very good job.
Aishwarya has given one for best performances till date,and you will look more at her role in the movie than her.
No Songs,duets and unnecessary boring moments in the movie.
Though movie is little slow, it sustains interest till the end , thanks to Bachan saab.
Ram gopal verma trade mark one-liners, a very calm and quite narration leaves speical mention.
He has chosen the same color grading that he has chosen for sarkar to maintain the feel of the movie .
Strengths : Amitabh,technical values
Weakness : Movie is little bit slow compared to the prequel
Overall raing : 3.25/5
Watch it over the weeknd.
