Movie Review - Gopala Gopala(Telugu)

When a movie has content and the Director has confidence, it doesn't matter whether the movie gets released on a Friday or a Saturday,that is what this remake of OMG (Hindi) in Telugu proved today. It is a very difficult task for a Director when he has to direct a remake. Not all directors will be as lucky as a Gabbar Singh (remake of Salman Khan's Dabbang with Pawan Kalyan in the lead) director Harish Shankar. That is because the audience already have expectations and the first thing they do is compare.
Coming to Gopala Gopala, I would say that Director Kishore Kumar Pardasani has done a wonderful job. The 153 minutes movie felt as if it was over very soon. So good was the screenplay. The first half of the movie is for 63 minutes and the second half is 90 minutes for obvious reason and that being as there would be both Gopals completely in the second half.  It is 'victory' Venkatesh show all the way and he played the role of Kanneganti Gopal Rao's with much ease and élan. Whether it was comedy or action or drama, he was at his usual best. Pawan Kalyan played Lord Krishna, the other Gopal, with lot of care and exercising control on his usual mannerisms to fit in the role of God. The highlights of the movie are the way the comedy was played and the dialogues which are fully loaded and delivered well by all actors. Music by Anup Rubens is in full tandem with the screenplay and makes the audience to flow freely with the movie thereby enjoying every frame. Mithun Chakraborty and Posani Krishna Murali were at their best. They aided the film's flow with their performance. For Mithun it is a cake-walk as he played the same role in OMG. Though Prithvi played the role of a lawyer for just one frame, he made his mark with his patented delivery "ballalu pagilipotai ikkada". The court proceedings are well played out and presence of Ranganath in the Judge's role added seriousness to the same. Shriya Saran's role was more a supportive role with limited scope for performance. Krishnudu, Vennela Kishore and others too did their roles well. DikshaPanth as Gopika Matha looks stunning.
Major credit is also to be given to Art Director Brahma Kadali. Though there are only three songs in the film, they are written well and stir the thoughts of audience. Credit goes to Seetharama Sastry, Chandrabose and Ananth Sriram.
The fact that this is a multi-starrer and the title is that of Lord Krishna, even the most senior citizens who could not themselves walk were among the audience and the movie definitely did not disappoint them. It is a movie which can be watched by entire family without having to worry about any odd scenes in between.

Overall I would say that the year 2015 started on a good note for Tollywood with the success of this film.

Real Life Heroes - Inspiring Spirit

If we seriously look around in our daily lives, there are innumerable lives that are a great inspiration. This is a small story of a taxi driver whom I came across today while I engaged him from Dadar. His name is Shyamrao More as I gather from my conversation with him and is a septuagenarian. He has been running a taxi to eke out his livelihood since 1959 and says that there was no Mumbai beyond Sion in the 50's and late into 60's. Also people did not dare to venture onto roads in those years late in the night as it was quite dark due to lack of street lights. His philosophy in life is quite simple. "Dil ko saaf rakho. Bhagavan, apna andar mei hai"(Keep heart clean. God lives inside there). He believes in working hard to keep his pot boiling and doesn't want to depend on anyone for his needs. His wife who is reportedly 66 years of age is the opposite of what he is. She has every photo of Gods across India at their home in Tilak Nagar and is an annual visitor t...

Movie Review – Yevade Subramanyam(Telugu)

Image
This movie will definitely rank as one of the finest movies produced in Tollywood in the recent past. The theme of the movie revolves around questions like “Who Am I?” and “What Am I doing?”, that every person might have at least once in their lifetime. Subramanyam, played by Nani , works as an Investment Banker and is driven by ambition, status and money. A product of IIM-A, his vision and mission in life is to make it big in life. He is so much engrossed and hooked on to his goal that he forgets the present moment and the beauty of life. At a time when he was about to realize his dream by getting engaged to industrialist and also his boss Pasupathi ’s (played by Nazar ) daughter Ria (played by Ritu Verma ), an unexpected entry happens in the name and form of his childhood friend Rishi ( played by Vijay Devarakonda , a new find for Tollywood). Vijay played his role very well though there was a bit of overdose on two occasions owing more to directorial issues. Rishi, the charac...

Brazil Diary - The day of arrival

We reached Sao Paulo on 10th evening at 5 p.m. It was a fantastic journey for me as this is the first time I have taken the international flight. The flight from AMS to GRS was really good. There are no proper GSM phone connections here. That is what is gathered as of now. I am staying with a family, a young couple who are living together and planning to get married on 25th July at Paris. They have a palatial flat which makes even the 7 star hotels feel small. They have a fantastic taste. When I said 7 stars I meant it. He has three cars- two Volkswagon and one Honda for his fiancee. He sells life insurance and his fiancee sells health insurance. There are 70 people working under him and by the way his name is Ricardo Tarantello and her name is Diaene. Both are pretty smart. I had red wine and mushroom porridge for dinner. You know the city of Sao Paulo is a big place with 20 million population and Ricardo has lost 5 cars due to theft and he is so cool when he mentions that ``that ...
