    Film: A Shyam Gopal Varma Film


    Genre: Satirical Crime Comedy, Dir: Rakesh Srinivas , Release Date: 1.1.2015
    Banner/Producer: Samisti Creations / Vijaya Kumar Raju, Rakesh Srinivas
    Star Cast: Shafi, Zoya Khan,Shiva Krina, LB.Sriram, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Jeeva, and others
    Synopsis: The film is a satirical comedy which revolves around a prominant film director, Shyam
    Gopal Varma, who has a penchant for making violent films. Soon, he realises that he will have to
    pay a heavy price for choosing that route to amke his film.
    Performance: Flop
    Remarks: A Shyam Gopal Varma Film is one project which goes off board completely because of
    its below par execution. This is not a film which you would want to start your new year with. You
    can safely ignore the film this weekend and look for something better.
    Film: Raghuvaran B.Tech (Tamil Dubbed film)
    Genre: Youth/Family, Dir: R. Velraj , Release Date: 1.1.2015
    Banner/Producer: Sri Sravanthi Movies / Sravanthi Ravi Kishore
    Star Cast: Dhanush, Amala Paul, Saranya Ponvannan, Samidrakani, Surabhi,
    Synopsis: Dhanush plays Raghuvaran, who after years of unemployment, gets his dream job but
    a powerful rival is keen to put him down. The rest of the story is about how he takes on his
    adversary and what he gains in the process. The film is the dubbed version ofa Tamil film titled
    Velaiillla Pattadhari.
    Performance: Flop
    Remarks: First half of the film is nice with youth elements and Dhanushs characterization. Second
    half has different orientation. Plus points of the film are first half, Dhanush characterization and
    dialogues. On the flip side, second half might disappoint the viewers who expect it to have the
    same fun as first half. I would have loved to see a Telugu hero do such kind of film. On a whole,
    Raghuvaran BTech is a decent movie and you may watch it!
    On the whole, Raghuvaran B.Tech is an interesting tale of a jobless youth with an underlying message.
    Even though the second half is a bit predictable and routine, Dhanushs thumping performance and a
    entertaining first half makes up for a decent watch this new year.

    Raghuvaran B Tech is a winner from Dhanush point of view. He was thoroughly entertaining us in
    first half with loads of funny moments which are easily to strike a chord with Graduate unemployed.
    Film stands on big merit when seen from first half. Velraj kept the narration mild and dodgy in
    second half with boredom added in few portions. Never to mention, there was more of Tamil
    Paithyam added during interval block and rest of second half. Here and there, Rajini style was also
    inculcated to Dhanush.
    Gauging the show in overall, Raghuvaran B Tech is formula film with decent entertaining stuff. It has every
    masala to attract all the sections of audience. Problem is, its a dubbed version and you cannot connect
    with Telugu nativity. Commercially, this could end as a safe product for sure.

    Film: Mana Kurralle


    Genre: Drama, Dir: Veera Sanker , Release Date: 1.1.2015
    Banner/Producer: Veera Sankaer SIlver Screens / BVS Srinivasu, H S Haroon
    Star Cast: Arvind Krishna, Venkat ,Rachana Malhotra, Roopa Kaur, , and others

    Synopsis: Mana Kurralle is a socio-drama which narrates the story og a group of youngsters, who
    go back to their village to bring about a change at the grassroot level. The film also stars Rao
    Ramesh and Venkat in importent roles.
    Performance: Flop
    Remarks: A film that certainly would have passed muster had it released years ago. Portraying the
    same ideology in a nuanced and imaginative manner might have got it many audience.
    Living up to its title Mana Kurralle, it's a coming-of-age movie set against rural background. The
    story focuses on the challenges faced by the youngsters and it has shown a nice transition from
    the year 2007 till date. While the first half primarily runs with elements of romance, some comedy
    and action, the second half is more on a serious and emotional note but with good doses of
    entertainment. Besides this, the movie offers a sensible message. Most importantly, the film has
    not deviated from the formula of a commercial entertainer and it has been blended in the right
    proportion.
    Given the time it took in its making, some of the hiccups are obvious but the makers have done
    their best in justifying the gap. Also, the presence of multiple characters tends to drift your attention
    on and off but the connection of dots was well executed in the second half. One can also realize
    why the film landed up in some controversy owing to certain scenes which remind you of some real
    life people and incidents. Overall, this is a film that will not hit you like a thunderbolt but it does
    leave a positive impression.
    As the film is being postponed several times, very few people are informed about the release. Despite
    directing a vigorous subject which has the power to connect with socially enlightened Telugu viewers,
    Veera Shankar failed in executing the same to perfection. Individual episodes shot in establishing each of
    the main characters were faintly dealt. When they are combined together to fight for a cause, then came
    some solidarity. Touching lot many subplots, he could not do justice for either. More cumbersome was to
    tolerance the sub standard performances and disturbance creating songs.
    All in all, Mana Kurralle is a poorly executed film with substantial message. Problem lied in hitting the
    right note at right time. As a writer, Veera Shankar work is noticeable and as a director, he is dejected and
    miserable. Commercially, there are no hopes.

    Film: Gopala Gopala


    Genre: Satirical Drama, Dir: Kishore Kumar Pardasany , Release Date: 10.12.2014
    Banner/Producer: Suresh Productions, North Star Entertainments Pvt. Ltd / D. Suresh Babu,
    Sharat Marar
    Star Cast: Venkatesh, Pawan Kalyan, Shriya, Posani, Vennela Kishore, Mithun Chakraborthy and
    others
    Synopsis: Gopal Rao (Venkatesh), a middle-class man who runs a store selling God's idols, is an
    atheist whose life turns topsy-turvy when an earthquake destroys his store. Soon, he shocks
    everyone by filing a lawsuit against God (Pawan kalyan) to get the compensation from an
    insurance firm.
    Performance: Above Average
    Remarks: The film is a remake of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar starrer Oh My God and the
    Telugu version largely stays true to the original version. Kishore Kumar Pardasani, the director,
    does well in handling the emotional depth of the film without going overboard or offending anyone's
    faith. Yes, the film does feel a tad too long, but it has enough moments which stay with you long
    after you finish watching it. And more importantly, it makes you think about life and reminding what
    our place in the cosmos is.
    Film: 'I'
    Genre: Sci-Fi thriller , Dir: Shankar , Release Date: 10.12.2014
    Banner/Producer: Aascar Films Limited / V. Ravichandran , D. Ramesh Babu
    Star Cast: Vikram, Amy Jackson, Upen Patel, Santhanam, Suresh Gopi
    Synopsis: A bodybuilder ends up falling madly in love with a supermodel, but some scheming

    villains maim him. Is he able to overcome his physical handicap and win back his love?
    Performance: Average
    Remarks: Suspend your disbelief and get into this fairy tale that is told by Shankar (the maker of
    magnum opuses like Indian, Sivaji-The Boss and Enthiran) on a grandiose canvas. Shot
    mesmerisingly by PC Sreeram on virgin locales in China and India, with world class CG work, this
    spectacle works because at the core, it's a romantic-thriller told simplistically. While the waif-like
    Amy looks mesmerising, Vikram bowls you over with a heart-wrenching performance whether he is
    handsome or disfigured. Santhanam provides the perfect comic relief. The first fight in a local
    gymnasium and the BMX bike fight on Chinese rooftops are an adrenaline fix. This is pure escapist
    fare but will resonate with those who read fairy tales at bedtime.
    Film: Pataas
    Genre: Action Comedy / Dir: Anil Ravipudi , Release Date: 23.1.2015
    Banner/Producer: N.T.R Arts / Nandamuri Kalyan Ram
    Star Cast: Kalyanram, Shruti Sodhi, Ashutosh Rana, Saikumar , and others
    Synopsis: Kalyan, a dashing but corrupt cop, joins hands with a rogue politician much to the
    chagrin of the DGP. When all seems to be going wrong, a heart-breaking incident changes
    Kalyan's perspective on his duty as a police officer.
    Performance: Hit
    Remarks: The film does falter a bit towards the end where it fizzles out while trying to wrap up the
    proceedings and the romantic track between the lead pair feels underwritten; however, there's so
    much which the film gets right. It's been a while since a mass entertainer has been this
    good. Although Pataas isn't the first action drama about a cop, it has all the right ingredients which
    would appease the masses. It's a 'vindhu bhojanam' in the truest sense.

    Film: Beeruva
    Genre: Comedy / Dir: Kanmani , Release Date: 23.1.2015
    Banner/Producer: Usha Kiran Movies, Anandi Art Creations / Ramoji Rao
    Star Cast: Sandep Kishan, Surabhi, Naresh, Saptagiri, Ajay, Mukesh Rushi and others
    Synopsis: The movie opens with a lady buying a fully-furnished flat. And lo and behold, when she
    opens the beeruva, out falls Sanju (Sandeep Kishan). So, Sanju explains how he ended up being
    in the almirah. So the story goes that Sanju falls in love with Vijayawada-based Adikesavas
    (Mukesh Rishi) daughter Swati (Surabhi). When his father (Naresh) has a problem, he tells him to
    go to Adikesava. As expected, he solves their problem, but Sanju comes back with Swathi. And so
    the chase begins. Now, to the big questions. How did he land in beeruva? Will he win back his
    love?
    Performance: Above Average
    Remarks: Beeruva is quite an entertainer, largely because of a well-scripted characterization for
    Sundeep Kishan's role. However, the scenes where Sanju taps on his father's head while they
    drive to Adikeshavulu's are not in good taste. Surbhi is good in her role but she could have worked
    better in the scene where she gets to drink bang during Holi. All in all, Sundeep Kishan and
    Saptagiri, who's got a fun role in the movie, make the film a treat to watch. There are surprises
    galore in the movie and it may just spoil the fun for you, if those are mentioned here.
