My View  Movie: BHARAT ANE NENU (2018) Genre: Political Drama  Runtime: 2 hr 53 minutes Bharat ram (Mahesh Babu) steps into shoes of Chief minister after the death of his father. Later he tries to correct the system by his own terms and faces problems from his own party. How he overcomes the barriers and gains people support is rest of the story. Mahesh babu did a decent job in the role of Bharat. His dialogue delivery suited the character very well. His act in the press conference scene was outstanding, but his character gets week in the emotional scenes. Kiara Advani as Vasumathi was ok. Prakash raj as  Varadarajulu was apt. But most of the casting in the movie was misfit. The movie plot was more or less resembles Shekar kamula’s Leader. Even though story was predictable, director Koratala Siva’s screenplay was good. He took utmost care in few areas. On the other hand, one will feel repetitiveness of few scenes from past movies like Oka okkadu and...

Movie: Bhaagamathie (2018) Genre: Suspense / Thriller Runtime: 2h 25m The film Bhaagamathie revolves around Chanchala Reddy IAS (Anushka Shetty) who is imprisoned in a haunted bungalow for interrogation purpose by law enforcer’s. It starts with interesting characterization of the main lead chanchala and the supporting cast. Once the story shifts to bungalow one will think they can predict the proceedings easily, to an extend you do. Later the story leads to adrenaline pumping baagamathie’s introduction. After superb Introduction of Baagamathie’s Character we expect director to revel her flashback. It will be revealed in simple way that you won’t expect. Audience will be surprised with awesome twist. With logics missing here and there, Chanchala’s motive will be revealed and the film ends with a small hit of a sequel. Anushka Shetty as Chanchala was excellent she has a superb screen presence and her worthy acting is major plus point. Needless to say after ...

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 em...

Movie: Anando Brahma (2017) Genre: Horror/Comedy Runtime: 123 minutes A NRI wants to sell his property back in India. Rumored as a ghost house, no one will be daring to buy it. To prove it wrong four innocent people who need money desperately will be ready for the challenge. Tapsee was good in her role but doesn’t have any significant role, her presence just given a star value for the movie. The four principle characters played by Srinivas reddy, Kishore, Ramesh and Shankar were apt to their roles. Each one will be having pitiable flashbacks and a weakness which turns as a strength when they face ghosts, this part was very well written by the director Mahi and it was major plus points for the film. Rajeev Kanakaala in a significant role impresses. Rest of the cast was overshadowed by the main lead. Direction and screenplay by Mahi K Raghav was good and sensible. The story narrated by him was simple yet effective. In the first fifteen minute’s narration was terrif...

Movie: LIE (Telugu - 2017) Genre: Drama / Thriller / Action Runtime: 145 minutes A. Satyam (Nithin) a small time thief gets involved in catching antagonist Padmanabha (Arjun) a noted criminal for whom Indian intelligence will be searching for 19 years. The entire story will be narrated by Indra (Prudhvi) and Narada (Brahmaji). Nithin makeover should be giving thumbs up. He’s energy levels and body language suited character very well. Mega Akash looks good but her character lacks clarity. The chemistry between the lead pair was awesome but it doesn’t sink with the story. Choosing Arjun in a negative role was a terrific idea and he did his job well. Limited role for rest of the cast and they were ok in their roles. Movie starts of very well by showing strength of villain but once heroine and hero characters gets introduced it looses its tempo.   As initially said Indra and Narada will be narrating the story and this aspect makes audience confuse. One will get a...
