Pooja Review

Pooja stands for attack, when it is not counter-attack.  Yes, there actually comes a point where we realize its inner meaning without having to be explicitly told.  They have said 'Nee...

Pichekkistha Review

Encounter Shankar told the truth only partially.  We don't know how much of impact movies have on aspiring directors/writers, but the impact of punch dialogues is terribly high. ...

Oka Laila Kosam Review

Not many films throw up the glaring hint of an imminent Hudhud during the first leg itself as does Vijaykumar Konda's 'Oka Laila Kosam'.  It's not that it has a wafer-thin...

Paathshala Review

'Paathshala' is all about reproducing a role-learnt syllabi.  When a film that has resemblances with the concepts seen in 'Inkosari' and 'Sneha Geetham' is being made,...

Romeo Review

Romeo discovers someone in his hopeless life.  This someone, he believes, might have been put in his path by Paddu.  The first conversation of any length that he picks up with her is&...

Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya Review

Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya is not avant-garde.  For all the efforts to package old wine in fresh bottle, it fails to pack the punch.  True, emotions are mostly under-played, melodrama doesn&...

Govindudu Andarivadele Review

A nice blend of sentiment and comedy apart, 'Govindudu Andarivadele' packs the punch by presenting a different Ram Charan.  Krishna Vamsi shows yet again that a director with a knack...

Pawanism Review

E.K.Chaitanya's directorial debut,'Pawanism', has been released. Madhu, Sudheer, Isha and Jayanthi acted in the lead roles in this movie. Posani Krishna Murali and Ali play crucial roles...

Loukyam Review

A reason why Brahmanandam has so forcefully endeared himself to the audience, of late, is that he gives vent to the latter’s feelings/frustrations like no other character.  At one point...

Aagadu Review

'Aagadu' is a film where the intensity of heroism that Mahesh Babu shows towards the minions (who are comedians) is the same as that shown towards the villain.  As for the villain, the...

Anukshanam Review

When it is RGV making a crime thriller, the expectations are bound to be reasonably strong, never mind his recent terrible record.  In a year when 'Rowdy' received accolades from some...

Power Review

Mass Maharaja has just been powered by 'Vikramarkudu' with an extra 'Balupu'.  High on energy, he delivers a powerhouse performance.  There is cop element, crusade against...

Kirak Review

If our filmmakers don’t understand what the genre ‘horror comedy’ is, they better don’t get into making a film in it.  Those who know nothing more than vulgarity,, ...

Weekend Love Review

So a clean 'nari' who doesn't give a handshake with her bare hands to a guy agrees to a live-in?  That's creative liberty at its imaginative worst.  But if we cast aside...

Boochamma Boochodu Review

Barely before a month of dishing out the improperly funny horror comedy 'Anjali', Tollywood turns out another horror comedy (whether stated or not).  In 'Boochamma Boochadu',...

Rabhasa Review

The 'rabhasa', whatever it means, is made by a Mirchi dude with the naughtiness of a Kandireega at some household that needs the apostle's Midas Touch to become a Brindavanam. '...

Nee Jathaga Nenundali Review

After a long hiatus, Sachin Joshi has acted in the film, 'Nee Jathaga Nenudali', in Telugu. This film is a remake of 'Aashiqui 2', the film which has set the cash registers ringing...

Sikinder Review

Why on earth does a hero being a mafia crook make him a "good person" when an anti-hero being one makes him (the anti-hero) a rascal?  Are such twisted themes to be lapped up...

Lovers Review

'Lovers' proves, for the nth time, that a vacuous interval bang is suggestive of a wafer-thin story line. It's nothing less than a jolt that a story-screenplay written by Maruthi has got...

Geethanjali Review

Imagine the famous TV shows host Suma in the role of a devil.  Watching Anjali in such a role feels like the same.  Except saying ‘Emo.. Naku artham aipothayi anthe’ with a-...
