Telugu film – Rama Rama Krishna Krishna

How is it – Just a time pass movie if u r a regular movie buff.

Here is an actor whom I believe has all the qualities of becoming a mass hero.  He looks good, has good mannerism, fights and dances well.  He is also careful while selecting stories and directors.  But this time he has failed.  This film is “Kichidi” of many films or at least the hero characterization.

There are some actors who can perform their roles with such an accuracy leaving mark in the film even though their role is very small.  Once such actor is Arjun.  He selects roles which fits him and plays them perfectly.  No complains about Arjun role or his acting in his film.  He is a saving grace in this film.

Many directors and producers are very good in the beginning of their careers.  But as time goes on, their judgement becomes weak or they go according to their GUT Feeling.  That is what is happening with Producer Dil Raju.  We don’t expect this type of film from Dil Raju.

Hero Raam – He is good but getting routine in his acting, dialogue, dancing and mannerism which should be avoided as much as possible.  Two songs in this film are same like songs in his previous films like Ready and Maska.  Short hair style is not looking good.  He needs to work with new dance directors.  It is only because of his energetic acting, the film is watchable.

Producer Dil Raju - Thumps down.  Disappointed to have a movie like this from his banner.

Director Srivas – formula film are good only when u can mix them properly.  Need to work more on the story and lot of improvement needed in direction.

Photography – very ordinary and poor.

Heriones – Priya Anand is good but Bindu Madhavi…no comments.

Music – I always like Keeravani music.  Music composing for 200 films is no small achievement.  Long way to go but care must be taken to avoid composing like this.  Once song “Godavari” has keeravani mark and the rest are below average.

KANNADA MOVIE: film PRITVI – VERY DECENT

How is it – Go and watch this movie.  Sometimes u need a different type of movie.

I was not during Dr. Raj Kumar era.  Recently, we lost Dr. Vishnuvardhan.  It has been more than 15 years from now, I am seeing Kannada movie on and off.  Very rarely I am lucky to see a decent film like Prithvi.  What is good about this film is that the director and hero didn’t care for commercial elements.  Very decent and dignified acting/dialogue delivery by Puneeth.  It can be called the best decent acting by Puneeth till date.  The credit must go to the director for having full command over the script but couldn’t end it in a right way.  The climax fight by the hero is unnecessary though it needed for the mass audience.  The heroine, Parvathi, is good (especially close shots where only face is shown) but she looks different from different angles (good from some angles only).  The chemistry between hero and heroine is great and two slow songs a must repeat.  Photography could have been more effective but using the REDDISH color adds seriousness and nativity of the subject.  Picturization of two songs are very good.  The film starts in similar fashion like Hindi film “Gangajal” but somewhere in the second half looses the grip.

I think Puneeth is too early in his career for this type of roles, but Shivanna would be perfect.

Plus:

• ·     Direction by Jacob
• -     Puneeth acting.
• -     Decent dialogues

What I liked most in the film was the discussion between hero and heroine and particularly the hero response to the heroine’s frustrations and so on.  I hope director would make a decent love story in the same lines. I think Puneeth can now try roles like Tamil film Khaka Khaka.

Minus:

• No commercial elements
• Must have worked more on story (twist and turns) and must have included more on administrator side like misuse of funds, catching black money which would have been liked by the masses. (See Tamil film “Kandaswamy”)
