Magadheera movie is an upcoming Tollywood film slated for release today (31st of this month). Casting in this movie are Ram Charan Teja (Chiru’s son) and Kajal Agarwal (Chandamama fame). This movie has created a lot of hype even before the release. Let us see some interesting things about this movie.

What Makes Magadheera Film Interesting?

* High budget movie in Tollywood with the budget of 35 crores produced by Allu Aravind.

* A mass hit(song) from Chiranjeevi’s movie Gharana Mogudu (Direct by Dr.Raghavendra Rao and music given by M.M.Keeravani in the year of 1996, choreography by Prabhu Deva) is remixed in this movie into a new song. Now for this song choreography done by Yamadonga fame “Prem Rakshit”. And the general talk in the industry is it would be another hit song in terms dance done by Gharana Mogudu. Another attraction is Chiranjeevi (special attraction) put steps with Ramcharan.

* Chiranjeevi also made a cameo (special appearance) in this movie. Note: Chiranjeevi is presently out of movie industry and is working as a politician.

* For Ramcharan Teja this is the second movie. His first movie (Chirutha by Puri jagannadh) is a super hit. Now the industry and fans are expecting the same from Ramcharan.

* Coming to the Heroin, Kajal is one of the luckiest girl to get a chance to work with great team. Her first movie is Lakshmi Kalyanam (by Teja) and her last hit movie is “Chandamama” (By Krishna vamsi). She is glamorous in the movie Chandamama. Based on that performance she got a chance in this movie (Industry talk). We are expecting the same in this movie as well.

* Another key point for the success for this movie is S.S.Rajamouli is the director to this movie, who is one of the most successful film directors in Tollywood. He has so many blockbuster hits Student No. 1 (Jr. NTR and Gajala), Sye (Nithin and Genelia), Simhadri (Jr. NTR and Bhoomika), Chatrapati (Prabhas and Shreya), Vikramarkud

u (Ravi Teja and Anuska), Yamadonga (Jr. NTR and Hansika). This is the first movie for R.R.Rajamouli with Chiru’s family.

* This movie is expected to have powerful storyline along with thrilling action. This is going to be another romantic love story.

took 1.5 years to make this movie with high budgets. This is the first movie after Chiru entered into Politics fro

m his family. Coming to Allu Aravind, his last movie Jalsa(Pavan Kalyan)[ofcourse Gajini in Hindi] is a big hit in the Tollywood industry is expecting the same.

Expectations:

All the movies directed by S.S.Rajamouli are super hit. So we are expecting the movie is going to be a bumper hit. Story is given by Vijayendra Prasad (Rajamouli team) and Music director is Keeravani (Audio is already hit) Dialogues by Rathnam. All the technicians are from Rajamouli Team. Rajamouli has taken extra care about the Graphics in this movie. This is another asset to this movie. It is coming from Mega Director, Mega Producer and Mega family.

In the industry Pokiri created a record (200 centers 100 days by Puri Jagannadh) which pushes Mahesh Babu to the first place in the Indusry. Now industry is expecting the same from this movie to create another record in Tollywood. All the technicians put their efforts

to do their best for this film। Ramcharan Teja and Kajal looks very good in the costumes of King and Prince designed by Rama Rajamouli (Rajamouli’s wife).

Let us wish this young and dynamic team to get success with this movie.

Oye - telugu movie review

• Banner: Universal Media
• Title: Oye
• Cast: Siddhartha, Shamili, Napoleon, Sunil, Ali, Pradeep Rawat, MS Narayana, Tanikella Bharani, Krishnudu, Surekhavani, Master Bharat and others are in the cast.
• Dialogues – T Rajasimha,
• Editing – Marthand K Venkatesh,
• Art – Rajeevan,
• Action – Ram-Laxman,
• Music – Yuvan Shankar Raja,
• Producer – DVV Danaiah,
• Story, screenplay and direction – Anand Ranga.
• Released on: July 3, 2009

Desamuduru fame DVV Danaiah has now come out with a smooth love story with lover boy Siddharth as hero. The speciality of the film is that it has introduced popular child artiste Shamili as heroine and Anand Ranga as director. The debutant director has tried a serious love subject, which ends in a tragedy, making everyone think whether there are any such serious lovers these days.

Story:

Uday (Siddharth) is the son of a millionaire and he leads a lavish life. While celebrating New Year’s Day, he meets an orthodox girl called Sandhya (Shamili). He falls in love with her. How he struggles to get her love will form the story of the movie.

People had some expectations because it is the debut film for baby Shamili as heroin. One can say that its a feel good film without any novel point. The story line is bit similar to Maniratnam Geethanjali. Uday (sidhardh) enjoys his life like anything. He likes short and sweat movements. On the evening of new year he saw one girl named Sandya (Shamili). Sandya is his first love and she calls him Oye . . . some how uday settles at sandya house as a paying guest. He impressed sandya a lot on her birth day and she also starts loving him. But the same day uday came to know that she suffers from a deadly disease. He want to full fill all her wishes. She does not know that she had a disease. So what happened at the end is the story.

The Director (debut)

Coming to the director, this is the debut film for Anand Ranga, to pick some of the faults with new entries, I could not find the impression of intro scenes. did good work for only scenes but not able to fill the gaps and give the depth to the script. Some scenes left doubtful. We saw his good technique exactly at the interval... he adds rain to give depth feel. But surely if he gets a good script then he can be a very good director. Raja simhas dialogues are pretty normal. For this film the big plus point is music. Povadde prema, seharee are very good numbers, and the title song is also composed very well. Youvan sankar Rajas voice in Povadde prema song reminds his father. Overall Oye is a feel good film and you can watch it once.

Shamili (debut)

We all know that baby shamili is an award winning artist. But when it comes to this particular movie she dint have that much to perform. She is refreshing in a deglamorised role. She is very natural and pretty much apt for this particular character. She does not have any charm or glamour. She could have done well by losing some weight. But acting wise she looks pretty much comfortable and does her part very well. Siddharth did a fantastic job as usual. His costumes and hairstyle in this movie are very good. Sunils comedy dint generate any fun. After a long time Nepolian played a decent role. Ali and master Barath succeed in generating some good fun. Krishnudu played the friend role and he is very good in that particular role. Remaining characters or ok.

Mouth Talk:

what people said who liked this movie:

Siddhartha takes the cake in making the film Oye very interesting. The entire responsibility of the film is borne by him alone. His character is etched with different emotions. Chivalrous in the beginning, jovial in the middle, serious lover after that and a true lover, who wants to see a smile in his ladylove’s face. He emotes all the expressions perfectly. But his character goes sidelined in second half without his mark.

Athough the film Oye is a tragic love story, the director is able to make the the audiences sit tight in their seats till the end of the film. Comedy by Sunil, Tanikella Bharani and Krishnudu is rocking. Another comedy track with Ali and Master Bharat with a satire on real estate business also makes the funny bones of audiences tickle for some time.

Others Surekha Vani looked glamorous and neat. Tanikella is ok with some comedy. Sunil’s comedy episode is good in first half but goes eccentric in second half.

Music by Yuvan Shankar is very good They are good . The song
‘176 beach houselo….’ is impressive and catchy. And the expressions like ‘kannu veedi choopu poyenaa…’ are interesting and marvelous.

Cinematography is good. Editing is up to the mark. Dialogues are also up to the requirement. Direction has suffered ups and downs and the production values deserve a very good mention.

The subject is ok but the implementation part is mishandled. Director failed to maintain momentum in narration. He has shown lapdash execution in second half.

what people said who doesnt like this movie:

Shamili does not suit the character of traditional girl. Being a first timer, she has failed to be a perfect match to Siddhartha. Though the film has situational comedy, some scenes appear boring. Had the climax been not tragedy, the film would have been good and the director should have ended it with some kind of miracle and making the heroine alive to attract the audiences.

Remarks:

Though Siddhartha has given great performance all through the film, the tragic end of the film plays the spoilsport. The commercial success of the film faces a drawback with the sad ending of the movie.


Music Review:

Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is a highlight of the movie. Most of the songs are rocking and would impress the present generation youth. Camera work is another highlight of the movie. The cinematographer is able to capture the beauty of different locales lively on the celluloid.

Songs:
1. Oy Oy - Siddharth Lyricist: Chandrabose 2. Saradaga - Karthik, Sunidhi Chauhan Lyricist: Anant Sriram 3. Watiting For You - Kay Kay Lyricist: Vanamali 4. Anukoledenadu - Shreya Ghoshal Lyricist: Vanamali 5. Povaodhe Prema - Yuvan Shankar Raja Lyricist: Vanamali 6. Seheri - Toshi, Priya Lyricist: Surendra Krishna, Krishna Chaitanya

Oy Oy - Siddharth
Lyricist: Chandrabose
Oy Oy’ the title number sung by hero Siddharth is sure to top the charts. The song is peppy and enjoyable.

Saradaga - Karthik, Sunidhi Chauhan
Lyricist: Anant Sriram
The tune of ‘Saradaga’ by Sunidhi Chauhan and Karthik is quite familiar;however the packaging and presentation of the song offers it a refreshing feel.


Watiting For You - Kay Kay
Lyricist: Vanamali
The flow and feel in KK’s ‘Waiting for you’ is a pure treat for melody-lovers.

Anukoledenadu - Shreya Ghoshal
Lyricist: Vanamali
One can easily connect with Shreya Goshal’s voice in the album's opening number ‘Anukoledenadu’. The song is filled with a happy emotion and Shreya’s full-throated singing brings about the effect fully.

Povaodhe Prema - Yuvan Shankar Raja
Lyricist: Vanamali
‘Povodhe Prema’ is a soft and slow-moving number in Yuvan’s voice. Even for those who are not familiar with the language, the song makes an impact because of Yuvan’s voice and the presence of emotional music.

Seheri - Toshi, Priya
Lyricist: Surendra Krishna, Krishna Chaitanya
‘Seheri’ a duet by Toshi and Priya is a completely westernised number. The song has rap inclusions and a strong and bold rhythm in its background.

user Rating analysed from various sources is 2.75/5.

Gopi - Gopika - Godavari Movie and Music Review

Banner: Maharsi Cinema, Anandi Arts. Title: Gopi Gopika Godavari Hero: Venu Thottempudi Heroin: Kamalini Mukharjee Others: Krishna Bhagavan, Kalyan, Pradeep shakthi, Kondavalasa, Jeeva, Jayalalitha, Geetanjai, Sana... Editing: Basava, Paidi Reddy Cinematography: Loki B Goud Dialouges: Padala Siva
Lyricist: Ramajogayya Sastry Music: Chakri Producer: Valluripalli Ramesh Screenplay & Direction: Vamsi Released On: 10/07/2009
A love story with typical turns on the lines of Godavari.

Director Vamsi, who gave big hits like Sitara, Anveshana, Manchu Pallaki, Ladies Tailor and Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru, April Okati Vidudhala is almost running into bad time with successive failures like Donga Ramudu and Party, Koncham Touchlo Vunte Chebutanu and Anumanaspadam at the Box Office.

In order to regain his past glory, Vamsi has brought out another film silently with not so famous actors, again with his favourite Godavari and the boats in the backdrop. The entire film shooting was done in a low profile. The movement of the film is exactly in Vamsi’s style and the film is good to watch but the slow running of the flick may not suit the taste of the present generation audiences.

The film has Thottempudi Venu as the hero while the sensuous beauty Kamalini Mukherjee is the leading lady. As the title indicates, the lead pair take their respective roles and it is on the backdrop of the river Godavari.


The gorgeous Kamalinee Mukherjee has landed a juicy role in the movie as Gopika. In the movie she is a doctor. She runs a floating hospital on the river Godavari for the poor people. The boat toursthe entire coast of the river and serves the patients. The running of the hospital is being taken care of and funded by a NGO. Another guy Shyam (Kalyan), who has completed his MS in the US and heard about the floating hospital and reaches India to run a similar service near Srisailam. Shyam fell in love with Gopika at first sight. But the latter she refuses his marriage proposal as she has more future plannings.

At this juncture, Gopika accidentally meets Gopi (Venu) over phone, which was forgotten by her close friend. Soon Gopika comes to know from Gopi that her close friend committed suicide. Gopika’s friendship with Gopi continues over phone and they keep talking hours together. Soon they fall in love.

Their plans to meet each other fail due to some circumstances. Gopika’s mother (Jayalalitha) who believed that Gopika is talking to Shyam till then learns that it was not Shyam but Gopi. She wants to see Gopi. Unfortunately, Gopi, who was coming to meet Gopika, loses his memory after being attacked by some goons. Gopika saves him and treats him not knowing that he is Gopi and she names him Prabhu. Does Gopi regains memory? Who does Gopika marries at the end? Watch out!

Mouth Talk:
what people said who liked this movie:

The director’s vast experience, seniority is clearly visible on the screen in this film. He ran the story with utmost precision, with lots of twists. There are many scenes where the audiences sit on the edge of the seat, biting their nails, as to what would happen at that moment. The director’s ability throws a surprise at every moment as the expectations of the audiences keep going wrong at such typical scenes. Kamalini has no big role to play as a doctor and has failed to impress the audiences. Venu is in his usual style.

what people said who doesnt like this movie:

Though the director ran the story well with different twists and turns, he ignored some characters like the hero’s buddies who appeared on the screen for a major time in the first half. The entire group was totally ignored in the second half. Music by Chakri is average and most of the songs had no Novel tunes but reminded the old songs of Vamsi’s films. Dialogues by Padala Siva Subrahmanyam are too lenghty at times.

Final Touch:

Those who go to the theatre with a view to watch a film from a director like Vamsi would definitely satisfy with the film. Those who go to watch it for entertainment also will feel good to a certain extent. However, the lengthy dialogues, same old locations, similar sets all through the film would result in boredom to the audiences. As a whole, the film could be watched once because it is from a good director like Vamsi. However, it may not help either Kamalini or Venu to get a break in films.

Music Review:

Go Go Rye Rye… singers: Chakri/vamsi

A melody number with energetic beats, the song is based on the backdrop of Godavari and this has been sung by the duo of Chakri, Vamshi along with chorus. With a mix of folk instrumental beats, the song is dominated by vocals and the lyricist Rama Jogayya Sastry has penned understandable lyrics. This is more of a number that talks about oneness and affection and is a positive number.

Sundari… singers: Venu/Madhumitha

An interesting duet, the song has got a very interesting combination with competent vocals by artists Venu and Madhumitha. Lyricist Rama Jogayya Sastry showed his prowess in words by coming up with witty and fast paced lyrics and not missing the rhythm anywhere. Chakri had a melody tune for this and he used more of keyboards and Veena in this one. Madhumitha has got a distinct voice which is sensuous.

Nuvvakkadunte… singers: Chakri/Kousalya
This is the highlight song of the album with some exceptional music by Chakri and a pleasant melody tune. A romantic number that talks about the pleasures of separation, the duet has been sung by Chakri and Kousalya. Their chemistry has worked well for this number and Rama Jogayya Sastry has given simple but sensible lyrics. The pace of the song is slow and it has traces of the literary side of the lyricist.
Bala Godari… singers: Karthick/Vamsi/Kousalya

This is a fast number with a melody note and Chakri has taken the support of flute and other traditional instruments for this one. The energy of the song is not that great but the vocals by artists Karthik, Kousalya, Vamshi goes in tandem with the music. Rama Jogayya Sastry has penned the lyrics in an interesting manner. Overall, it is a bit dull for hearing.

Maavidaaku… singers: Vaasu/Geetha maduri

A foot tapping song with some upbeat vocals by Vasu and Geetha Madhuri has provided good energy to it. A very fast moving song, this has got traces of songs that we have heard before but Chakri has molded the notes very well and this might find its presence in marriages as the backdrop is wedding. The mix of traditional and western beats is another aspect to this. Rama Jogayya from his end synced well with the music and gave the words accordingly.

Final touch on the Music:

Overall, the album is for those who like melody and are used to the Chakri flavor. The songs are more of melody and though there are one or two of western beat based numbers. There is a touch of the Vamsi trademark in the songs and it is more for the matured audience and those who like the classical style of songs. Youth audience may find it tender but not very appealing though.

user Rating analysed from various sources is 2/5.
