Jai Lava Kusa (2017)




Movie: Jai Lava Kusa (2017)
Genre: Action / Drama
Runtime: 153 minutes

Lava and Kusa will be separated during their childhood due to hatred of their triplet brother Jai. After 12 years Lava and Kusa are kidnapped by Jai and are forced to act like him. Why they are kidnapped and how the brothers will bond is the crux of the story.

Even though Jai, Lava and Kusa look same, the characterizations are different and needless to say Jr. NTR portrayed them with perfection. Especially the stammering dialogues by Jai’s Character were major highlight and it overshadows the other characters. He was okay as lava and entertains as kusa, later has shades of chari character from the movie Adhurs. Minimal role for other characters including heroines Rasi Khanna and Nivetha Thomas.

The basic story was good but screenplay and execution was not up to the mark. Director cum screenwriter Ravindra couldn’t utilize acting capabilities of Hero completely. He fails to establish strong emotions in the story. The movie looses its tempo now and then; even the dialogues were not praise worthy. Long running time is another drawback should have edited at least 15 minutes. Background score was good by Devisree Prasad but songs are not catchy. Chota K Naidu cinematography was admirable and at the same time visual effects were also decent. Production values are good.

Instead of picturing the movie in a complete commercial way, the makers should have concentrated on Script. They should have added more emotional content, so that the audience would have connected in a better way. Watch the movie by keeping your expectations low and watch it for Jr NTR creditable acting.

Verdict: 3 / 5

Movie:  Darbar   (2020) Genre:   Action Thriller Runtime:  2hr 30mins Writer and director: A.R. Murugadoss Rajinikanth played the principle character Aditya Arunachalam a police commissioner who solves cases related to drug mafia and women trafficking in Mumbai.  Performance’s wise Rajini’s screen presence and dialogue delivery were extraordinary; he single handedly carried this film on his shoulders. All the hero elevation scenes and action blocks are treat to watch. Nayanthara’s role is incomplete and her performance is just ok. Nivetha Thomas finest role in recent times. Her performance as Rajinikanth Daughter was laudable. She shines in the character and her emotional scenes in the hospital with rajini are praiseworthy. Sunil shetty as villain is a bad choice, his acting and dialogue delivery falls flat and rest of the cast performances are just ok. Director Murugadoss showcased Rajinikanth in a prefect fashion. He highlighted Rajini’...

Movie:  Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo  (2020) Genre:  Drama /  Action Runtime:  2hr 45mins Writer and director: Trivikram Valmiki (Muralisharma) interchanges his son (Sushanth) with boss’s son (Allu Arjun) in hospital. After 25 years truth will be revealed to Allu Arjun and rest of the story is how he unconventionally settles down things in his authentic family. Allu Arjun totally lived into the Devraj character and he is exceptional in hero elevation scenes. His acting and dances are as usually admirable and his action sequences are worthy. Pooja Hegde looks beautiful and has done decent job. Her romantic tract with allu arjun has come out well. Murali sharma as vamiki has done fantastic job, his role with negative shades has tremendous importance in the story. Samuthirani as Appalanaidu was ok; director should have etched his character properly. This film features assembled cast in which Jayaram stands out. Tabu as Jayaram’s wife was just ok. ...

Movie:  HIT – The First Case  (2020) Language: Telugu Genre:   Investigative Thriller Runtime:  2hr 6min Writer and director:  Sailesh Kolanu  The film starts with an eighteen year old girl, Preethi’s strange disappearance. Few months after that Neha (Ruhani Sharma) will also be missing in similar pattern. Vikram Rudra Raju (Vishwak sen) an aggressive police officer begins the investigation and find outs the culprit. Vishwak Sen was perfectly casted in the role of Vikram (a H omicide I ntervention T eam Cop). He has given settled performance and mostly impressive. His acting in post-traumatic attack scenes was realistic. Ruhani Sharma has done decent role and rest of the casting is perfect and believable. Director Sailesh’s (debutant) narration is gripping and from beginning to end it is clean investigative thriller needless to say he didn’t deviate from the plot. The way he introduces the protagonist character as good, intelligent...
