Story

Chandram (Srikanth) is a cab driver and a honest man. His wife is Kalyani (Meera Jasmine). They are a childless couple. When Kalyani gets tested positive for pregnancy, the doc tells him that she needs to be operated to avoid complications. The operation would cost around 8 lacs. Being a middle class man, Chandram doesn't have that much money. That is when he comes across an accident on railway track where the body of an unidentified woman is found. He also finds a bag with lots of money beside the corpse. his friend advise him to tell the cops that the dead woman is his wife. He gets the postmortem done and manages the cops and doctor. He finds out that the dead girl is Ramya (Sada). Parents of Ramya come to know about it and ask chandram to do the final rites as they thought that he is her husband (she elopes from house with her boyfriend). The story takes turn when Ramya returns at the time of last rites. The rest of the story is about the mystery behind Ramya and how Chandram manages with two wives at a time.

Artists Performance

Srikanth is at his best as always in this movie. Meera Jasmine put on a bit of weight, but is good in acting department. Sada did a glamorous role in this movie and she is adequate. Telangana Sakuntala is good. Krishna Bhagawan provides some relief. Raghubabu is not good in this movie as his characterization is irritating. Apoorva did a vamp character who is more interested in cleavage show. The comedy thread between Brahmanandam and kovai Sarala is hackneyed. Sunil is wasted in a role of investigating officer. MS Narayana is okay. Ali's character is also uninteresting.

Technical departments

Screenplay - directon: This film belongs to typical Priyadarshan comedy genre that is linked to a crime element. The director tried to mix comedy and sentiment in this movie. The taking and treatment of the movie is mainly targeted at the masses of B and C centers. Hence there is over-dramatized sentiment and over-the-top vulgarity in comedy. Screenplay of the movie runs on predictable lines. Direction is best suited for the hardcore masses.

Other departments: Music composed by MM Sreelekha has followed the style of S Raj Kumar. Dialogues are adequate. Cinematography by Vijay C Kumar is average. Dialogues are fair. Editing should have been crisp.

Analysis: Director Srinivasa Reddy who made a name for himself in comedy department by churning out comedy films on low budget seem to have got carried away with this movie. This film has age-old formula, completely predictable screenplay and inane direction. A aa e ee is mainly aimed towards the masses in B and C centers and it caters to their sensibilities. It is a disappointing movie for others.

Story

kurradu Varun (Varun Sandesh) is a youngster from a middle class family. He is passionate about bikes and it's his dream to own a bike. Varun completes his graduation and bides his time on roaming around with friends and he blames his father for his failure as he didn't buy a bike for him. Hurt with the callous remark of his son, the father gives 70,000 rupees (which he kept aside for his daughter's marriage) to his son Varun. Varun buys a bike and uses it positively to get a job of recovery agent for a bank. It's a prerequisite to have a bike in order to do that job. His bike is stolen during one night and later he traces the stolen bike and realizes that it is with a gang of dope smugglers. The rest of the story is all about how he recovers his bike against all odds.

Artists Performance

kurradu Varun Sandesh has improved a lot in acting and dialogue delivery compared to his earlier movies. However, his small-framed body didn't suit the action sequences in the movie. Neha Sharma definitely looks better than what we have seen in her debut film Chiruta movie and she is adequate. Jai Venu entertains with his funny English as an auto driver. Ravi Shankar (Bommali fame dubbing artist) did the role of a gangster and he is pretty good. The guys who did the role of his brother and bullet are impressive. Tanikella Bharani is extremely good in sentimental scenes. Ali is wasted in a separate comedy track. MS Narayana's single scene cameo is just okay.

Technical departments

kurraduStory: Kurradu is a remake of a Tamil blockbuster titled 'Polladhavan' (which means mondodu). This story has roots in Italian black and white classic Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thief). Bicycle Thief movie is about recession times where the livelihood of an entire family depends on the guy whose job is to stick movie posters to walls. It is absolutely necessary to have cycle without which the entire family would be deprived of bread and butter. A Telugu movie titled Ride (jeevi review here) with similar theme was recently released in Telugu. In that movie also they have shown the owning bike as a necessity than a passion. But in this movie, owning bike is more of a passion than a a dire need.

kurraduScreenplay - directon: A story of this type needs tremendous screenplay and gripping narration from the director. Though the director handled sentimental scenes and establishment of the villain well, he couldn't narrate the story in an arresting manner. Screenplay of the film is poor. There is no tempo in the movie and the narration doesn't make us eagerly look forward about what would happen next.

kurraduOther departments: Music by Achu is good to ears, but the picturization and placement of songs should have been better. Cinematography by Sarvesh Murari creates a mood to the movie. Dialogue are adequate. However, the quality of photography should be rich in the movie and the slow-motion scenes in the climax are poor. Stunts in the movie are realistic. We expect better production values and quality post production for a film from a big banner like Anandi Arts.

kurraduAnalysis: First half of the movie is adequate and second half is little boring. Kurradu is a film about the passion of a youngster towards his newly bought motorcycle. Such movies should be handled with dexterity and sensitivity. The filmmakers could able to remake the scenes, but couldn't translate the much required soul in to the Telugu version. We have to wait and see how it works at the box office.

Raviteja’s new venture with Bellamkonda

Producer Bellamkonda Suresh is all set to create a sensation with each successive project. His latest film “Ride’ was proved a hit. A few days ago, he had announced a film “Bhishma’ with Balakrishna as hero under the direction of Ramesh Varma.

Recently, he bagged the remake rights of a successful Tamil film “Nadodigal’ by paying a huge sum. The film with friendship in its backdrop with Sasikumar, Vizharu, Bharani, Anan and Neha in the lead roles was proved a hit and it was directed by Samutirakani.

According to reliable information, Raviteja is roped in as hero for this film, while another role in the film was reportedly offered to Allari Naresh. It may be mentioned here that the producer had already announced another film with Raviteja and Krishnavamsi. If, “Nadodigal’ remake goes to sets earlier,the film with Krishnavamsi might be delayed a little further. Chances are bright that the director of the original may wield the megaphone for the Telugu version also.

Bellamkonda suresh who is presently doing Shambo Siva Shambo starring Raviteja, Naresh and Brahmaji is very busy dealing with his further projects.

Story

village lo vinyakudu Karthik (Krishnudu) runs a play school in Hyderabad and his girl friend Kavya is a doctor. Kavya goes to her village Rajolu to stay with her combined family to attend the engagement of her cousin. Kavya's father is a retired army major and he is very strict. Kavya tells to everybody in the family except her father that her boyfriend is visiting. And she also doesn't about him being fat. The rest of the story is about how the family members react when they finds out that Kavya's boyfriend is on the heavier side and how Karthik wins over the entire family including Kavya's father with his pure hearted charm.
Artists Performance

village lo vinyakudu Krishnudu who fitted in the role of Vinayakudu very well did a character that is just an extension. His innocent looks and slow dialogue delivery suited the role. He did well. But he should work more on his expressions in the close-up shots. Saranya Mohan is cute, but didn't suit the role well as there is no chemistry between them. Rao Ramesh is adequate though he looked little younger to play the role of heroine's father. He tried to act like Prakash Raj in few scenes. Popular novel writer Yandamuri Veerendranath did the role of heroine's father friend who is obsessed with puzzles. Dr. Bharat Reddy donned the role of a prospective groom and he is alright.

Technical departments

village lo vinyakuduStory: The story of the movie has slight inspiration from 'Meet The Parents'. Meet the parents is about a girl introducing her guy to her father who is a former CIA agent. The entire movie runs around father trying to prove that the guy is wrong and the guy outsmarting heroine's father. Hero being a male nurse is the conflict point between heroine's father and hero in the English movie. Guy being fat is the conflict point between hero and heroine's father in VLV. This story has potential in it if handled well though we had seen similar treated stories of hero staying in heroine's house and convincing him since DDLJ.

village lo vinyakuduScreenplay - directon: Direction by Sai Kiran Adivi is adequate in parts. Some of the comedy scenes are well written (Golimar episode, health check-up results, bongulo chicken etc). He handled some of the scenes in first half well, but didn't show the required finesse in the second half. Sai Kiran should have taken more care in screenplay department in the second half. The pace of the movie is slow and climax appear hurried. He couldn't bring out the romance between the lead pair and should be commended for coming out with a clean and healthy film without any vulgarity.

village lo vinyakuduOther departments: Music by Manikant Kadri is good. There are good melodies in the movie. Cinematography by Ramana Salva is neat and locations chosen are fresh. Some of the dialogues are funny. Editing should have been better. Producer Mahi has capitalized on the success of Vinayakudu by doing a sequel on a shoe-string budget and making it break-even before the release itself. However, he should have put more emphasis on quality of filmmaking and quality of post-production. The entire movie appears like its been shot in hurry with inadequate budget. And the post-production lacks the quality of multiplex films. The forced advertising of Reliance Mobile and Kalamandir mars the viewing pleasure (people spend money to watch movie, not to watch forced advertisements). It is a good effort by the first time producer in terms of marketing and business strategy. But he should remember that content is the king and these kind of marketing strategies will work wonders if the content is good.

village lo vinyakuduAnalysis: First half of the movie is adequate with nice humor. The movie runs out of steam in the second half. The plus points of the movie are Vinayakudu's image and good marketing strategies. The negative points are lack of holistic perspective in direction and slow-paced narration. One should appreciate the filmmakers for making a film that does have neither vulgarity nor violence. We have to wait and see how the family viewers of A centers receive this movie.

Keeravani said, "The real Pravarakhyudu of the movie is Madan. There is no failures for love stories. Movies based on love are ever-encouraged. Madan will give a new definition to love through this movie. The story will be liked by all."

Jagapati Babu said, "I am not of Pravarkhudu type in real life. I feel happy to work with Keeravani. I though that this movie might not work out with respect to business as the producers spent money that is beyond my market. But buyers are coming forward and encouraging the movie. Producers kept lot of confidence on the product. I hope that this movie will be a big hit."

Madan said, "We took only the characteristic of Pravarakhudu and applied it to the character of Jagapati Babu in this movie. One may call such a person with Pravarakhyudu characteristics as a gentleman. We are saying that each love stories is different from one another through this movie. This movie is about finding the pure love. Keeravani worked like a new music director for this movie."

Simha, a Boyapati Sreenu-directed film, is now in Hyderabad. Nandamuri Balakrishna's prestigious venture sees him pairing opposite buxom Namitha and 'Ullasanga Uthsahanga' girl Sneha Ullal.

Owing to the Star Night on November 7, the film's shooting has been cancelled and it will resume again after the event. Later, it will be canned in Visakhapatnam.

Namitha is acting opposite a big star like Balakrishna after several years. Last time, she acted in Gemini with Victory Venkatesh. Shifting base to Tamil films, she bounced back again after her role in Billa. She has at last got a performance-oriented role in Simha.

Sneha Ullal, a relatively newcomer to Tollywood, was seen in 'Neenu Meeku Telusa', and it is the first time she is seen in a big star's film.
