              Ala Modalaindi Review – Ala Modalayindi Telugu Movie Review: Nani, who shot to fame with Ashta Chamma is now back with Ala Modalaindi. This movie review might not be the much awaited one prior release but it would certainly grab eyes with the word of mouth. Yes, we are stating that Ala Modalaindi is a film which surprises you with freshness. Here goes the review of Ala Modalaindi…

Analysis:
                      Ala Modalaindi is a romantic comedy and it stays sincere to the genre. Romantic comedies are not alien to Telugu audience and they are well acquainted with many such films. Therefore, making another one and getting the acceptance of audience is a big challenge. Debutante director Nandini Reddy takes up this challenge and comes up with a fresh treatment.

                     Ala Modalaindi has some freshly written scenes and every once in a while it impresses you with that intelligent writing. Although film has some hiccups in the middle as the screenplay lags, it never loses the audience attention due to witty dialogue and wonderful performances. Nandini Reddy throws few surprises towards the end when we expect the film to end on a routine note. That has turned out to be the major asset to this film.

                           Last half hour is a laugh riot. That itself is worth your ticket price. Rest of the film is a bonus. People who love watch romantic comedies shouldn’t miss this one.

Performances:
Nani is confident. But his act and histrionics seem repetitive. He should try to work on his look as he looks similar in any role he plays. Nitya Menon is the find of the season. What a talent she has. She has easily pulled this film off all by her own. Besides she dubbed for her character which is a major plus for her to have her identity amidst non Telugu speaking heroines. Sneha Ullal looks like a beautiful doll who can’t emote a bit. Kriti Karbandha’s role is limited. Ashish Vidyardhi is apt and his act is impressive. Radio Mirchi Hemanth and others excelled in their respective roles.

Technicalities:
Arjun John’s cinematography is dull. A better cinematographer might have done world of good to this film. Kalyani Malik’s music is good. A couple of songs are impressive. Lakshmi Bhupal’s dialogue gelled well with the mood of the film. Marthand K Venkatesh’s editing is fine. Production values are Okay.

Nandini Reddy has made her debut count. Gentlemen, here is a lady who knows to direct and has it in her to survive among the male dominated film fraternity. She has grabbed the pulse of current generation youth and that did help her in making this film appeal to them. Watch out for Nandini, she is here to stay.

Plus Points:
- Fresh treatment
- Comedy scenes
- Nitya Menon
- Pre climax and climax

Minus points:
- Dragging middle
- Dull cinematography

Final Word:

Ala Modalaindi started on a dull note at the box office. But with the positive word of mouth spreading fast, it should do well at least in urban areas.

Wanted

Story:

                     Rambabu (Gopichand) is a pampered son who doesn’t care to work and his lovable parents don’t allow him to do any. He bumps into a girl Nandini (Deeksha Seth), who has a haunted past. From then on Rambabu sincerely tries to woo her but Nandini has other plans on the priority list. She has scores to settle down with a local don Basivi Reddy (Prakash Raj). What did Reddy do to her? What does she ‘want’ Rambabu to do for her? Is what we get to know in the rest of the story!

Analysis:
                 Wanted story is as old as Himalayas. There is not a single scene which gives you satisfaction that you have watched something ‘new’ and ‘unseen’. Wanted takes the beaten to death track and also to beats the audiences to death! Director BVS Ravi might have thought he has taken a ‘safe route’ by selecting this story to make his debut. But he has gone wrong with the basics.

           This film doesn’t have any story. Director has no clue of what to do in the first hour of the movie. Therefore he simply passed the time with various irritating (literally) scenes where the hero runs after the heroine for love. Every now and then a song pops up on the screen and of course an action scene too. When the journey seems unending and pointless the heroine asks a favor from the hero and in the next scene he confronts the villain.

            Second half is about villain’s search to reach the hero and teach him a lesson. The flashback of heroine too is revealed in this half. The brutal killing episode in this flashback reminds you of Atanokkade film. The only conflict or interesting element of this film should be the hero-villain confrontation. When the hero meets the villain at the interval point and puts a gun to his chest and returns back unhurt, there is no point in dragging the film for another hour.

                 BVS Ravi’s screenplay lacked spine. He has written a wafer thin story and has given it a mindless treatment so that it hardly engages the viewer. Comedy track shot on Brahmanandam is another waste of time. Wanted doesn’t appeal to hardcore mass masala movie lovers too. Ravi should get his basics right if he ever tries to make a second attempt at direction.

Performances:

                Gopichand sleepwalks through his role. He has done such roles in the past and there is nothing to interest him/us to do/watch as Rambabu. Deeksha Seth doesn’t even know the ABCD of acting. She can’t dance and at least can’t confidently face the camera. She is just a pretty face who should be limited to a second fiddle.

                  Chandra Mohan and Jayasudha who are generally natural are too loud in this film. Prakash Raj too looked bored throughout the film. Brahmanandam , Raghubabu comedy track failed to evoke any laughs.

There is nothing to mention about the rest of the star cast.

Technicalities:
          Cinematography is alright. Dialogues written by Ravi himself are bad. Editing is standard. Chakri’s music didn’t have any mass numbers despite mass hero Gopichand playing the lead role. None of the songs are appealing. Background score is strictly Okay. Production values are fine.

           BVS Ravi who started off his career as a writer didn’t do anything exceptional as a writer to date. He is just any ordinary writer and with this film he proves he is better at writing than directing. Wanted is a bad film on every aspect and it is certainly not a film which we expect from a debutante.

Plus Points:
- Hardly any

Minus points:
- Everything

Golconda High School

                
           These days most of the schools do not have playgrounds at all and the students are getting overburdened with their regular studies. In case they find time, they either watch TV or play computer games and there is no physical exercise at all. In the earlier days, schools used to have a separate period for games and drill and there are playgrounds and there used to be drill masters and physical trainers. Now, the parents have changed their mindset and are concentrating on how to make their children toppers in class and in other entrance tests like Eamcet and IIT and ignoring the value of games and sports. ‘Golconda High School’ was made only to enlighten the parents to come out of that mindset as playing games will develop concentration and made them excel in their academics.

story:-
                Sampath (Sumanth) is one of the best cricketers of Golconda High School. However, in a bid to foil his attempts to earn name and fame, his friend Sundar (Raviprakash) plays a trick and get him run out in a match. But Sampath never complains about this and instead resigns as cricket captain. Even after that Sundar continues to propaganda that Sampath resorted to several malpractices and gets him black-listed from cricketing. After a few years, Viswanath (Tanikella Bharani) finds his address and invites him to the school. He tells him to prepare a good cricket team for the school and appoints him as the coach. Sampath refuses to take up the job, but accepts later as he understands that some real estate businessman Kiriti (Subbaraju) is eyeing the high school play ground to construct a multi-storeyed building in the name of a coaching centre. He enlightens not only the students but also their parents the values of the game, and how games and sports would sharpen their academic skills. The GHS team, which can’t even move out of the knock-out stage for the past several years, reaches the finals under the guidance of Sampath. Did Sampath won the challenge? How his students helped him in fulfilling his challenge? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax.


Plus:-
            The highlight of the film is the performance of the team of 14 students, who had different goals in their life, yet love cricket. They not only performed well on the screen, but maintained good ease in dialogue delivery and appeared very normal and natural on the screen. Sumanth, who faced the camera after almost two years gap, looked good in the film. But he has failed to be more expressive and could not show ease in his body language. Swathi is at her usual best as a love interest of the hero. Tanikella Bharani is adequate as the principal. The director maintained good tempo all through the film and has penned a gripping screenplay for the film. The first half of the film is entertaining, while the second half completely devoted to the game and the histrionics of the students. The climax is good. Cinematography by Senthil needs to be complimented because he has given the right focus for all the scenes. Editing by Shravan too is brisk and crisp. Background score by Kalyani Malik is another highlight of the film.

Minus:
The film reminds the audiences of films like ‘Chak De’ and ‘Sye’ and most of the scenes appear to have already watched earlier. However, the director filled some romance and entertainment besides a good message to make it impressive. Another draw back in the film is that it has no commercial values and is totally message-oriented. So, the commercial success of the film depends on how the family audiences would receive it.

Remarks:
             The message in the film is that extra-curricular activities are also part of the education and are equally important for students to improve concentration. You can watch the movie for the values of team spirit of the students and their performance. The director gave a good message without boring the audiences with unnecessary lengthy dialogues but flowing the same as an undercurrent.

Cast: Sumanth, Swati, Subbaraju, Shafi, Tanikella Bharani, Raviprakash, Hema, Jhansi, Harshavardhan, and others.
Credits: Cinematography – Senthil, Editing – Shravan Katikaneni, Music – Kalyani Mallick, Story – Harimohan Paruvu, Art – Ravinder, Producer – Rammohan Paruvu, Dialogues, screenplay and direction – Mohana Krishna Indraganti.

Anaganaga O Dheerudu

A folklore tale in latest narration

 

Prakash Kovelamudi, son of popular director K Raghavendra Rao , tried his hand in acting but failed. Later, he took up film direction and earned good recognition by earning a national award for a film produced by Rana Daggubati, who is now established as a hero with Leader. After achieving an award, now he is making an attempt for a reward by bringing out a film with the co-operation of Walt Disney Pictures. He penned an excellent folklore story, and in order to translate his imaginative skills on the celluloid, he needed not only money but technical expertise and hence he entered into an agreement with Walt Disney and achieved what he wanted through Anaganaga O Dheerudu.

Irendri (Lakshmi Prasanna) is a sorcer player, who captures sarpa sakthi (serpent power) and tries to terrorise people of Anga Rashtram. So, a guru arrests her and doesn't allow her to play with the lives of people and destroys her. Even before she was destroyed with the sarpa sakti, Irendri takes her soul away and traps in a locket. Though she dies, her soul (atma) lives in the locket. Her great great grand daughter is Priya (Shruti Hassan) and she lives as a gypsy.

However, she too possesses some magical powers, as she was born into a sorcerers’ family. Yodha (Siddharth) is a person who always lures girls and romances with them at whenever there is opportunity. He is smitten by Priya’s beauty and falls in love with her. Sudigundam (Ravibabu) is a local goon and he attacks the gypsies’ village. Yodha prevents him and defeats him in a fight. However, Sudigundam makes another attack and ties the hands of Yodha and sets afire the entire village.

In this process, the locket in the neck of Priya falls down and Irendri’s soul comes out with the touch of fire. The sarpa sakthi tells her that she could gain power with the drop of blood of Priya. So, Irendri takes away Priya and imprisons her. Meanwhile, Yodha turns blind as Sudigundam pierces his eyes. However, Yodha gets saved by a swami (Subbaraya Sharma) and appoints to save a girl named Moksha (Baby Harshita), who has divine powers. Irendri, in order to take revenge, attacks Agartha, a village in Anga Rashtram and make the children of the village senseless.


Druki (Ramji) goes to Pushpagiri to bring Moksha, who could save their children. So, Druki, Yodha and Moksha start from Pushpagiri and reach Agartha. At this juncture, the sarpa sakti tells Irendri that the blood of Moksha would make her Maha Sakti if it was taken by her on lunar eclipse day. So, Irendri sends her men to capture Moksha. But Yodha kills all of them. Irendri again sends Sudigundam, the commander-in-chief, to bring her. Yodha follows them in search of Moksha and finds that Priya was alive and saves both Moksha and Priya. Moksha with her divine power brings back Yodha’s vision. Then, Yodha decides to completely destroy Irendri as she is trying to harm people and succeeds in the climax.

PERFORMANCE:The hero’s characterisation in the film is an innocent village boy. Prakash chose Siddharth as he had no great image but is well known among the family audiences. As the character’s name is Yodha, the hero should possess six-pack body. But, in reality, a warrior should have shrewdness in mind and will power but it doesn’t lie in a well-built body as per the thinking of the director. Siddharth too did justice to his role all through the film. However, the dialogue modulation did not suit well for a folklore film. Shruti Hassan is a feast to eyes with a slim physique and her expressive eyes gave the audiences a fresh look. Lakshmi Prasanna too performed well. Her costumes are deadly and her make-up too is extravagant. She tried to imitate her father while delivering the dialogues but she stood up to the expectations. Other artistes, including Ravibabu, Subbaraya Sarma, Ramji and others did justice to their roles. Comedy by Ali is okay. Brahmanandam was wasted.

TECHNICAL:

The film once again stood at one of the top slots technically after Magadheera on the Telugu screen. Especially, cinematographer Soundara Rajan’s expertise is excellently visible on the screen. He was properly assisted by the art director Bhupesh R Bhupati, who designed excellent sets for Agartha, Pushpagiri and each and every scene was quite impressive with the combination of these two. Prakash’s directorial abilities lessened the work of Shravana Kartikaneni, who gave a crisp editing to the film. The speciality of the film is that four music directors worked for the film, and Salim-Sulaiman among them took care of background score. Designer Raj Golay and visual effects by Firefly added spice to the film. Dialogues though not extremely good, but adequate and could be adjusted as it is a folklore film. He should have avoided words like Jaffa in the dialogues.

REMARKS:

The film would be the best gift to the children below 10 years and they could enjoy the film more than adults. However, the elders too could go down their memory lane and recall their childhood while watching this movie. As a whole, it is the safest film for this Sankranti to those who want to watch film along with the entire family. Though the film is not so great to boast of, it will be a nice watch for family audiences. Extensive publicity with good word of mouth could make the film a commercial hit.

Mirapakaya – Movie Review

Story:

Rishi (Ravi Teja) is an inspector in Intelligence Bureau. The chief of the IB, Narayana Murthy (Nagababu) gets information that Kittu Bhai (Prakash Raj), a mafia don, is trying to spread his tentacles in India and is targeting Delhi first. In the process, ACP (Sanjay Swaroop) gets killed by Shankaranna (Kota Srinivasa Rao), a local goon with the help of his son (Supreet).

Later, The IB chief sends Rishi to Hyderabad and gets him admitted to a college as a Hindi lecturer as part of an operation. Rishi, who meets Vinamra (Richa Gangopadhyay) at a temple, falls in love at first sight. Incidentally, she studies in the same college and in the same class to which Rishi teaches Hindi. Their love blossoms and both lose hearts to each other. At this juncture, Vaishali (Deeksha Seth) daughter of Kittu Bhai joins the same college and Vaishali and Rishi quarrel with each other on their first encounter. Now the IB chief tells Rishi to somehow trap Vaishali and get information about her father. What happens next should be seen on-screen.


Performance:

Ravi Teja has maintained the same energy levels and shouldered the entire burden of running the film from the word start to finish. As usual, he is excellent in action scenes and has maintained comedy timing. Richa Gangopadhyay, though portrayed the role of a Brahmin girl and daughter of a music teacher, looked glamorous in modern outfits in songs. Deeksha Seth has filled the glamour slot. She is gorgeous and has given a chivalrous performance. Especially, her childish face with perfect body structure, gives a voluptuous feast to the mass audiences. Though Prakash Raj was the main villain of the film, he appears only in the beginning and climax scenes. Kota Srinivasa Rao is at his usual best, while Ajay and Supreet are okay in their roles. Brahmaji and Ali has tried to tickle the funny bones of audiences. Chandramohan, Rao Ramesh, Nagababu, Sunil, Dharmaravaru Subrahmanyam have done justice to their respective roles

Technical:

Mass Raja Ravi Teja has got an unofficial promotion as Mass Maharaja as per the titles of this film. The film appears to be on the lines of Ravi Teja’s earlier hits like Anjaneyulu, Vikramarkudu and Don Seenu. The audiences could enjoy the film in a festival mood and relax without cursing the hero or the directorThe storyline is good and the narration is also perfect. The director did not deviate from the path at any given point of time and placed the songs at perfect intervals to give relief. Moreover, the gripping movement of the subject kept the audiences to stick to their seats without leaving the theatre for a break. Cinematography by Ramprasad is good, while editing by Gauthamraju is adequate. There are no boring scenes in the film. Music by Thaman is extraordinary and almost all the songs are good and visual scenes too are good. Re-recording could have been a little more better if he had concentrated further on this movie. Harish Shankar has improved a lot in his directorial abilities.

Remarks:
