Love Failure Review

  What does Love Failure conclude for the rest of us?  That reaching a breaking point in a relationship is the best remedy for the malady of 'love failure'.  In this sense, the film...

SMS (Shiva Manasulo Shruti) Review

How long does it take a boy to reciprocate his love for a girl after he knows that he is very much in the cute lady's heart?  For the male lead of SMS, it takes a dramatic climax.  Why?...

Dhoni Review

Prakash Raj's Dhoni is a whiff of fresh air in more sense than one.  The best part of this film is that it doesn't sound a bit cliched despite its lead character (Prakash Raj as a widower...

Rushi Review

The strength of this seemingly highbrow film called Rushi lies in intermingling emotions, romance, sentiment and debate in the right proportions.  Director Raj Madiraju shows a characteristic...

Snehithudu Review

It is ironical for a film that takes a dig at the rote learning system to copy every single facet, aspect and nuance from the original, 3 Idiots.  If you watch the movie expecting Shankar's...

Ayyare Review

We live in a country where terrorists are given biryani and patriotism is censored, so goes the collective lament of our men.  There comes a point in Ayyare when Rajendra Prasad stumbles upon...

Bodyguard Review

If you have watched Siddique's Bodyguard already, there is still every reason why you should go for Gopichand Malineni's Bodyguard.  If not for anything, to watch Venkatesh and Trisha deliver...

Business Man Review

A proud Nasser, who is the Commissioner of Mumbai, goes to the town claiming that there is no bhai left in the city.  He and his unsparing department have cleansed the city of the dreaded...

Kshetram Review

In Kshetram you see Jagapathi Babu excelling in his mien, comportment, deportment, body movements, shrieking, wielding a larger-than-life sword, sporting a caricaturish moustache - that is,...

Rajanna Review

Rajanna is doubtless a brave experiment.  We do not intend to convey by the word 'experiment', that it is devoid of commercial elements.  In fact, Rajanna is one of the most avant garde...

Journey Review

On the face of it, Journey is old wine in a new bottle.  There are two love stories that run parallel; two journeys that culminate in an unexpected ending, an ending which is philosophized by a...

Panjaa Review

For a film set in the backdrop of a mad, macabre mafia world, Panjaa's format is not inventively refreshing, but the way Vishnu Vardhan treats the proceedings makes this film one of the worthiest...

Priyudu Review

You can't describe the tragedy of Priyudu by any other word.  The idea of the film is an insult to all Valentines out there.  This frustratingly puerile love story throws up a set of...

Sangharshana Review

Sangharshana, like Shambo Shiva Shambo, tells the violence-ridden story of the good-hearted leads, who are forced by the ruthless characters around them to run to save their lives.  The life...

Bejawada Review

It doesn't matter whether or not Bejawada will become a flop (which we predict its fate is going to be), but one thing is clear.  RGV and some kids from his school are living in a cocoon. ...

Solo Review

Looks like this is the season of directors/writers pushing the envelope.  Only two weeks back, we were treated to a refreshing tale of friendship from the eyes of a guy and his childhood, ...

Sri Rama Rajyam Review

If you thought Sri Rama Rajyam is a Balakrishna film, think again.  For, Bapu here chooses to follow his own dharma of story-telling and keeps Sri Rama (played by Balakrishna) from the screen...

Its My Love Story Review

Madhura Sreedhar's film has got all the props - a contemporary social behaviour (live-in relationship) as the foundation on which to base the story, an upwardly mobile hero and heroine with a dare...

Oh My Friend Review

There comes a particularly heart-warming moment in Oh My Friend, somewhere in the middle of second half that deserves a standing ovation.  Killer calls her friend Faltoos, asking him to see her...

Mogudu Review

Mogudu is a film that should have been ideally released in the times of EVV Satyanarayana and Muthyala Subbaiah.  No, we are not complaining about how the hero comes to marry the heroine twice...
