Imagine a hero who does everything good for a house behind the scenes, beats the goons for their family members, does all the sacrfice for the family etc., . while all the viewers of the movie are wondering about his larger than life character - the people around the hero like his family members, friends strangely hates him and calls him useless in the movie and yet the warrior wins even their hearts by the end of the movie.
Yes, you got the hero -it has got to be Venkatesh.
He has had done this with amazing ease and elan in the past and got some decent hits with his heart touching performances, be it in suryavamsham, lakshmi, sankranthi, and last but not least who will forget raja and many more . Baladoor should have been yet another one for venky .
It's not venky , but got to be ravi teja this time.
Baladoor is a routine family story-ala described above ( even the punch line suggests that) , with some decent performances from the veteran Super Star Krishna, Ever energetic Ravi Teja .
Ravi Teja steals the show with his care-a- damn attitude in the first half and little bit serious role coupled with some mass elements in the second half.
Anushka provides the glamour quotient for the movie, who meets hero in railway station and falls in love with him .
Pradeep Rawat and Subbu Raju done the role of baddies causing trouble for Rama Krishna's ( Krishna) family .
On the negative side,
Music by Radha Krishnan is disappointing .
Direction by Uday Shankar is flat and out-dated to say the least, void of any twists or suspense element .
Strengths -
1. Ravi Teja
2.Production values
Weakness -
1. Music
2. direction
3. second half drags.
Overall Rating : 2.75/5
Overall Feedback - Watch it without any expectations. You may just like it too.

Trade Talk - Top 5 Telugu Films this week
It has been signficant start to the second half of 2008, with some movies finally ringing the box office cash registers.
Kathanayakudu has been released amidst lot of hype, but could not meet the expectations.
These are top five films this week :
1. Katha Nayakudu - The openings of the film are pretty good.However the chances of it sustaining are pretty low.
Strengths : Rajni, Jagapathi Babu, touching climax
Weakness : Slow narration, poor comedy and direction.
2. Ullasam gaa , Uth...ga.. : This is going to be one of the coolest hits of the season. It has given the web based reviewers like grateandhraaaaa a reason to think of before writing off movies as duds, for some unexplained reasons.
This movie has very good feel with it.Nice comedy to go with . Ofcourse, Hero is a let down for the movie( but that happens- he has to go a long way ) , otherwise it would have been a block buster ala toliprema.
Strenghs : Direction , Heart throbbing Sneha Ullal , Music, comedy
Weakness : Hero , slow in parts.
3. Ready : This is the biggest hit of the year so far without much of debate. Brahmanandam , the veteran has a point to prove his year.
Strengths : Ram, Brahmanandam, Comedy, Music
Weakness : Slow First Half, weak climax.
4. Dasavatharam : A technical masterpiece from Kamal donning 10 different roles with amazing ease . A visual treat worth watching once for the sheer efforts put in for making of this movie.
Strengths : Kamal, Himesh's haunting Music, Technical values
Weakness : Feeble story line.
5 . Hare Ram : Kalyan Ram has come up with a winner here . It is worth commendable that he is trying different things. This is by far his best performance, and his consciousness as a producer who strives for he best is seen on the screen.
Strengths : Screenplay, production values.
Weakness : Music, perhaps too many twists.
With six-pack vishal and gorgeus zero -pack Nayanatara coming in Salute , and ravi teja - Aushka starrer Baladoor , this Independence day with an extended holiday is all set of ring-in cash for box office.
coming soon : Baladoor review , salute review.
