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.

Baladoor - Movie Review

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.
