For strange reasons when whole world is using Allari Naresh for out-and-out comedies, E V V wants to make a point by infusing message into his comedies .
He did similar attempt in 'Fitting Master , Bendu Appa Rao etc., " .
In this movie , Allari Naresh is police constable with two elder sisters and two younger sisters. His elder sister’s husbands always force him to bring gifts all the time. On another hand Kantha rao father forces him to do his other sisters marriage. He has girl to add to the problems. How he deals with all these things with few twists forms the rest of the story.
Though mostly slapstick, there are few original EVV comedy touches which brings laughs in the theatres.
Naresh is getting better and better with his comedy timing and he is perfect for the role.
Kamna is used only for the "X" factor and she is generous. Couple of songs are good.
Ali's scenes in the first half are crude . Ahuti prasad in second half is loud.
Highlights :
Allari Naresh,
Coemdy Episodes in both first half and second half where story takes back seat
Weak points :
Some routine crude and repetitive comedy by seasoned comedians.
Bottom Line :
Yet another "money back gurantee for distributors " movie by Naresh. Watch it over the weekend if there is no better work to do.

Manasara movie review.... Oka priki vaadi love story...
There is one scene in the movie , when hero utters the sentence ..em pirikollu preminchakoodaaa.. It sums up the movie as a whole. Its about a timid guy's live story set in the kerala back drop.
Brief narration of an already brief story:
Vikram (Vikram) is a timid fellow with parents fight with each other for silly reasons.
Vikram’s father, a bank employee, gets transferred to Rajapalayam in Kerala and this is a small place which is dominated by culture and tradition.ALL the settlements are decided by Kalari Payattu, a martial art .
The story takes a turn when Vikram chances upon Anjali (Sri Divya) and it is love at first sight. However, Divya has her own troubles in the form of her lusty bava Rajan Pillai (George) who is the champion in Kalari.
Its obviously now "Jayam " type of pains and "Thammudu" type of climax.
Highlights :
1. Cinematography
2. Heroine did well
3. Two Songs are cool
Negatives:
1. These movies should go with tight narration, but the emotions are not captured well and hence
audience do not connect.
2. Comedy is very weak causing boredom
The basic idea of hero winning heroine fighting odds is a time tested success formula picked by ravi babu, taking the backdrop to kerala might just keep the masses not connected to the Hero.

Orange Movie - Review a mature love story
Its always great fun to watch the first morning show of a leading hero's movie where you find people who come there to thoroughly enjoy every bit of the next three hours .
Orange has had never seen before hype - thanks to Charan styling, awesome music and the hangover from magadheera.
Industry has ensured that the biggest hit for Hero is always followed by a string of flops to ensure the entropy in the industry is intact. This was very cautiosly taken care in the movie to ensure that if breaks the jinx. To certain extent the attempt is succesful.
Orange is a feel good love story - with enough dose of comedy in the first half and entertainment values but goes slow in the second half with some repetitiveness and ends on a predictable positive note.
Charan is at his stunning best - genelia has a cake walk role - brahmanandam is hilarious . Cinematograhy is the highlight of the movie. Songs Rock. Its a multiplex family entertainer with less mass elements.
Our Rating : 3/5
Strenghts : Charan , cinematography, Songs
Weakness : No Mass Elements, Second half weak.
Punch Line : Feel good love story catering to multiplex audience. B,C centers decide the business line of the movie.

Orange Fever on a high - Songs and Charan rock big..
A craze that has never been ...a tsunami that has never seen ...Orange fever is gripping the city. Theatres are gearing up for selling premium shows at a fancy rate.
One famous theatre in kukatpally has sold the morning show and the full first day tickets for a premier price. The benefit show ticket is around 350/- per head .
The useless website greaatandra clamied that Karma can go above Orange. There was some soft corner on Karma being backed by saikiran who directed vinayakudu , but with that article that interest has died down. It is heights of absurdity and silly . Same has happened in earlier instances too. thanks to this site, Karma may prove to be dud.
Orange is going to re-write the history books. Watch out early morning review on this blog sport on O-Range Love story.

DON Seenu - Movie Review -Starring Ravi Teja and Shreya
The story line is ultra-thin, zero-size story. Hero wants to be a DON as simple as that.
Seenu works for Machineni (Sayaji Shinde) who is on a constant mission to upstage his rival Narsingh (Srihari) another gang leader. In an attempt to trap Narsingh's sister in love to settle scores but is shocked to realize that Don Seenu traps his sister Deepu (Shreya) instead. To undo his mistake and win Machineni's confidence, Seenu moves over to Narsingh's group and makes his sister Anjana fall for him.
There is another character Duggal who is is looking for Don Seenu's blood. Then there is Brahmanandam to fill up the time in between the main scenes. And the story goes ON and ON... in DON Seenu.
Story starts intersetingly but tests the patinece of audience to the fullestby the time it reaches to end.
Ravi Teja has cherished his dream of acting like Amitabh in his DON avatar.
Shreya is the same shreya we all know - Gorgeous looks, plastic smile,and lienient in exposing factor. Songs are a big let down.
Ravi Teja has done very well, but he is disappointing with not trying for any novelity what-so-ever.
Tagline : Movie might just bite the mud.

BRAHMALOKAM TO YAMALOKAM VIA BHULOKAM - Too much effort to create comedy
In Brahmalokam, Brahma (Rajendra Prasad) has a small quarrel with Saraswathi Devi (Kalyani) and he judges that marriage has to be followed by death. In Bhulokam, Sreenu (Sivaji) a struggling guy trying to impress Swetha (Sonia) and it is love at first sight. Meanwhile, Sreenu’s friend Sobhan Babu (Venu Madhav) does a penance to Brahma and wins his heart. Brahma gives a jug to Sobhan Babu and tells him to drink it that will give the power to read anyone’s fate. However Sreenu ends up drinking it. what happens next is to be seen on BIG screen.
The film is basically a socio fantasy movie with a few twists.However movies becomes less interesting once the plot is revealed. Love thread should also have been dealt better.
Strengths :dialogues and the visual effects .Background score was impressive, two songs were melodious, Rajendra Prasad, Sonia .
Weakness : Weak in content / not enough stamina to run for 2:30 hrs.
Meets the audience expectations : partly.
Producer Happy : Needs aggresive publicity to get revenues.
Reviewer Happy : Reviewer not happy. It is too thin and a frustrating story line to pick-up the backdrop of Yama, Brahma etc., with mythology background. It sounds very cliche.' . They should worked more on the concept and used them with more creativity.

Trade Report - Telugu Cinema - Maryada Ramanna all the way
Maryada Rammana :
Its Maryada ramanna that is ruling the theatres at present in AP .
while some websites like greeatAndhraa gave false opinions, TV 9 mentioned about the inspiration from hollywood flick, nothing seems to have deterred the magic of Raja Mouli on Box office. He is going into the list of all-time succesful directors in the the History of Telugu Cinema with his success percentage.
Strengths : Sunil's energetic performance and Dances, Excellent Songs, Seductive saloni, a well made production by Raja Mouli.
Weakness : Run-time is a big let down as it is only 2 hours. It is not fair to accept a 2 hour movie unless the ticket price also comes down proportionaltely. The taken for parking , buying tickets , traffic is more than the movie time.
Yamudu :
Yamudu is a commerical success. Suriya was extremely appealing as a Tough police guy.
Anushka was a treat . Both the suriya brothers ( surya and Karthi) are lauging their way into Tollywood box office.
Sneha Geetham and Subhapradam are duds at the box office.
Sneha Geetham proved that gimmics doesn't work - only quality content works. It would been a better success - if GreaaatAandhra has not created unneccessary hype for the movie .GreaatAandhra's cheap pulbicity articles and Larsco banner's promotional approached killed the remote chances.
Subhapradadm - is also a surprise disaster. Naresh, Vishwanath combination created negative image to say the least. The direction was also outdated and audience could not connect to the movie at anytime since the script wanders allover.
A great Performance by Manjari was eclipsed by the poor script.

Maryada Ramanna Review -" Game " attempt by RajaMouli. Trade report on Snehageetham , subhapradam , em pillo em pillado, bheemili
Sunil scores a hit with Maryada Ramanna. Raja Mouli made sure yet again he had all the pre-release hype, necessesary masala in the movie to make it a box office success.
The movie is story in not any strange thing - as told by Rajamouli himself that it is about hero unknowingly staying in house of somebody who is looking out to kill him. The stoty line is wafer thin but it is dealt effectively.
To summarize it is the same routine tiresome "Game " attempt patented by srinu vytla and follwed by different directors in the last 12 months . It is the turn for Raja Mouli now.
Key Highlights :
Songs - kharma itta kalipoyindi , parugulu thee, telugu ammayi are instant winners. Keeravani lits the movie yet again with his music.
Sunil - He is slim, smart and has given an enmergetic performance which matches to the energy of Ram and Ravi Teja.
Weakness -
Raja Mouli' brand is missing - and some of his core fans may find this as a holdiay attempt from him to avoid pressure from media and circles about his next "big" film.
The much hyped title character though is very good - a known face like kota could have added more spice to it.
1. Rating : 3 /5
2. Producer happy : yes
3. Audience satisfied : yes ( if you go with realistic expeccations from a sunil movie)
Coming to Other Films :
Sneha Geetam - turned it a below average fare. ( the not so intelligent promos / offers like free for students, money back offers etc., sum up the outdated direction and thought process of the movie ) . Larsco banner better luck next time.
Even the excessvie promotion by GreaatAndhra site also truned bizarre experience and got frustration for readers. Atleast 10 % dip is observed in viewership of the site after repetitive "paid or sef-interested" news by the site .
Subhapradam : Not braced by all .Not happy returns at the box office .
Viswanth sir Should appreciated for the social cause , wonderful music from Manisharma and award winning performance from Manjari.
Em Pillo, Em pillado - The less said about this movie, the better . It s a low-budget version of Ready and Jayeebhava as simple as that. Even scenes are so repetetive - it hardly impresses.
Bheemili- Too much of tamil natitivy disliked by people. The positive image of Nani bringing audience to theatre. He is surely making it big with step-by-step. The movie is watchable once however with some nice moments.
That's it for now.

Golimaar- predictable - but that's what the title says- bullet the goons...
Golimaar, trademark action flick from Puri - who sticks to very basic story line , where the hero is an encounter cop and has to kill all the baddies - He also needs to deal with a Big DOn in malaysia. The story is as simple as that.
Its a enough for puri to make an entertainer out of it - since none of his movies are complex in story telling.
Gopi Chand fits the bill well. He has good physique - macho looks and rightly charecterized as a tough cop.
Priyamani - has got the "apt" role too. She doesnt let the masses down.
Puri - came up with his trademark witty dialogues and MS is entertaininig partly.
Chakri - has given good background score and decent production values makes golimaaar a weekend watch- if lot of other things doesnt bother you in life...

Forth Coming Movies - Awara, Sneha geetam, Golimaar,chalaki
This Friday is going to mark the release of four films Awara, Sneha geetam, Golimaar,chalaki.
Golimaar : No doubt - has every potential to become pokiri as puri attempts to give his "careless hero" body language to action heroes.
He succeeded first with Ravi Teja in Idiot, Mahesh babu with pokiri and gopi Chand can have a lucky mascot on these lines .
The story is on the lines of Daya Nayak, an encounter specialist- a theme that is already beaten to death in both Hindi and Telugu. But, we know the power of puri - who can make a ordinary theme into a super hit with his style .
Key business Factors : the movie is expected to have rocking openings with the image of Puri and Gopi Chand and not many to compete presently except Simha.
expected Mileage : 6-8 weeks.
Awara - A dubbed version of Tamil Decent hit flick - " paiyya" starring yugani okkadu Fame " Karthik " and the hot Tammanna .
Mileage : 2-3 weeks
Key busniess factors : Tamanna and the rain song promos , the mass orientation of the movie.
By no means we say that we are waiting for Karthik's rocking performance and hence did not put karthik in the business factors.
Chalaki : From the producer of jagadam and Arya-2 - here comes the next one " Chalaki" starring the producer "aditya babu" himself.
The banner tried quite different films with big budgets -and both jagadam and Arya-2 gained critical appreciation though films did not do well at box office .
Chalaki has been in the making for quite sometime - and we have to see if telgu audience are blessed with another hero ( because he has money).and bless him in-turn with a hit.
Key business Factors : The promos look good, the banner has good reputation
Mileage : 2-3 weeks.
Sneha Geetam :
From Larsco banners - who tries too hard to get a film in place - is coming up with a new movie Sneha geetam . The songs are released recently and are decent enough.
Atleast Greatandhra seems to prmoting this film rigoursly and states it as the most waited film- not sure how many are waiting are for this ( may the film's casting crew is waiting ).
Another set of heros and heroines will surely bless us if this becomes a hit ( we have not yet forgotten the no. of heros , heroines and combinations "Happy days" has blessed us with with likes of Varun sandhesh, nikhil etc., ).
Key bunisess factors : Promotion is good , has the youth feel attached to it.
