He is truly a gentle man...Gentleman Review!!

Finally, I get to write the review for this movie :).
And I am all happy to do that.

This film is definitely different from the other Nani movies that we have already seen. We have seen him in nice, homely, forgetful boy roles, which we have immensely liked. But this one, is different. This one brings out Nani as a true actor.

There would be no fun if the story of the film is revealed. So I will talk about the other stuff only.

Indraganti sir had an amazing cast and super story. He capitalized it to the max and gave us a delightful movie. The weaving of the story was top-notch.

The good part first:

• NANI - No words, classic!!
• SRINIVAS AVASARALA(SA) - He stood out like a charm. Nani and SA bring out great stuff together. They have done it repeatedly and have never disappointed.
• NIVEDITHA THOMAS - She is magic on the screen. She has done her job amazingly well. Crisp and smart, truly admiring
• STORY - A good story always wins, Proved once again and how!! Simply wow!!
• The part in Kodaikanal - one of the most romantic pieces that I have seen in some time.

The not so good part, (Oh yes! I am biased, I am a BIG Nani and SA fan, so there will be no bad part)

• LENGTH - I felt the screen play could have been quicker. I felt it got a little dragged in the second half.
• Vennela Kishore - A mockery was made out of him. I felt the jokes around him could have been better.

The music was ok, did not enjoy it much, but people have responded well to it. I still hum the songs of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy :).

A special mention about Srinivas Avarsarala, never before did I see him in an antagonist role. So this one was new and he has charmed us all with his incredible acting skills.

I will recommend everyone to go and watch this movie. 

My rating for this movie: 4/5 :)!!

Who is this Subramanyam...Yevade Subramanyam? (My Review)

Sometime back, I happened to watch this movie, Yevade Subramanyam . It is a very refreshing movie with the heart in the right place. I like Nani for the movies he does. The stories look real and so does he :).

Coming to this movie, the story, the idea behind the movie is superb and very apt in the current world. Nowadays everyone is running the rat race looking at just his own progress and not very worried about the other person. In such a scenario, Nani’s friend asking him to accompany him to Doodh Kashi is simply out of question, But circumstances arise where he is forced to go. The journey as expected shows him the real world. How he realizes who he is during the journey is the rest of the story.

The story is good but the execution failed us. Nani as usual played his part well. But the loose ends in the script does not make the viewer very happy. The lead pair do not have any chemistry between them. They both look great separately, but as a pair in the movie, did not impress me at all.

Rishi, Subbu’s friend is the most refreshing character that I have seen in a long time. The actor Vijay Deverkonda has done a great job. Avasarala Srinivas, I am starting to like you more and more everyday, with a small but an important role in the movie, you really make an impact. The other technical aspects are all okay.

I believe one must watch this movie for the freshness that it gives. The film looks beautiful with picturesque locations and good looking characters.

My rating for the movie: 3/5.

To dad with love...(Nanaku Prematho)

The title reminded me of the book by E.R. Braithwaite, To sir with love.  It is a book that is very dear to me. The book made me realize the importance of a a teacher in a student's life and appreciate them more.
I had the same feeling when I heard the title of this film, as my dad is one of the most important persons in my life, and I am my dad's pet. So with this aura I went to watch the movie.
The director Sukumar's last movie, 1 Nenuokkadine was a very intelligent movie. Though the film flopped I enjoyed it a lot. The story was way ahead of its time.

I can only jot down the good and the bad about the film, Nanaku Prematho in points:

The Good:

1. The story, intriguing
2. Jagapathi Babu, he is doing an amazing job as a antagonist. His work was on par with Jr. NTR. I am biased, yes, but I am helpless :). 
3. The entire look of the movie. Jr. NTR's look was nice and different.
4. Rakul Preet Singh did a good job. Her efforts did show up on the screen.

The Bad:

1. The execution of the story. It had a lot of potential. But it was just not well done.
2. Silly mistake: In an earlier scene, NTR tells JB Nov. 1 is his last day as a rich guy and in a later scene, JB calls NTR and tells him that today is Sep. 1??? What happened here??
3. Too many calculations, reminded me of my Physics lectures! Was it necessary?
4. Too much weightage to Jr. NTR. Other characters were not given their due.
5. Srinivas Avasarala was completely wasted in the film. He could have been given some more screen space and dialogues please. He is a good actor.
6. Rajiv Kanakala was also not given his due.
7. Music and songs, totally unnecessary. They were there just to add masala.

Jr. NTR did a superb job, no doubt but Mahesh Babu would have done better, IMHO.
It is a Sukumar's film so I will not reveal any part of the story. I will want people to go and watch it. 

But my rating for the movie would be: 3/5.
