Movie Review - BruceLee(Telugu)

If
If you are a mega family fan, it is not difficult for you to understand that this film BruceLee( with tag line The Fighter) has shades of yesteryear's Chiranjeevi's successful movie Vijetha. The 155 minutes movie doesn't bore the audience except in one or two scenes. 
Story, screenplay and direction by Srinu Vaitla is above his own benchmark. The screenplay runs in an unpredictable manner which is the highlight of the film. As usual the Director is too fascinated with police and 'undercover' operations. After a long time, we have a song with rich literature in Telugu films especially the first one "run, life ante raceura,run". 
Hero Ram Charan Tej as Karthik alias Bruce Lee is extraordinary in his dances and fights. It would not be an exaggeration if we said that in some fight sequences, he was almost resembling the legendary BruceLee especially with the hairdo and movements. He is definitely a tough competition to Allu Arjun in dances. The popular veena step of Chiranjeevi seems to be the inspiration for flute step of Ram Charan in the fourth song "ley chalo" which was shot in beautiful location. The third song "mega mega...."is too good to watch just as the fourth and the fifth( Le Le BruceLee...). It was so refreshing to watch heroine Rakul Preet Singh as Riya. She carried herself very confidently and beautifully. She matched well in her dances with Ram Charan.
Selection of actors for each of the roles is the most important aspect of a director's role and we should agree that Srinu Vaitla has done a perfect job as all the actors fitted well in their characters. Sampath as Jayaraj, Nadiya as his wife Vasundhara, Rao Ramesh as hero's father Ramachandra Rao, Kriti Kharbanda as hero's elder sister Kavya, Arun Vijay as Deepak Raj, Mukesh Rishi as IB Chief have all carried their roles with ease. Jayaprakash Reddy's dual role as dangerous David and police officer is hilarious especially due to his diction and expressions. Comedy by Brahmanandam as Suzuki Subramaniam alias pakodi, Saptagiri and Posani Krishna Murali are enjoyable. Though Ali was there just for a few minutes, he generated some fun. Vennela Kishore too did his bit as Uganda Yugandhar.
Chiranjeevi's entry in the climax was good but he didn't appear to be carrying in his usual style probably due to the long gap he has with the films. For his 150th film, he must definitely tone down his body a bit, else his fans may be disappointed. 
Music by S.S.Thaman is good and entertaining. 
Overall the film is enjoyable. I would give ***1/2 stars for this movie.

The Sai Baba of Shirdi – God or Guru or both

Image
I start this column in complete reverence to His Holiness Sri Shankaracharya of Dwaraka Peeth Swami Swaroopanand Saraswathi and with the blessings of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. In the last few days, there is a lot of hullabaloo happening on Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi with Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswathi of Dwarka Peeth exhorting Sai devotees on June 23 not to treat Sai Baba as God and to stop worshipping him. The devotees of Sai Baba felt outraged and there was wide spread condemnation of Shankaracharya’s words. Saidham Charitable Trust filed a PIL in Supreme Court on 17 th September seeking its intervention in the matter and to direct the Centre to restrain people from making derogatory remarks on Shirdi Sai and to prevent Swamiji or his disciples from removing Sai Baba’s idols from any of the temples across the country. As an ordinary devotee of Shirdi Sai , I would like to put forth a few of the thoughts about what I feel Sai Baba is all about after having read and unde

A golden Silver Jubilee Meet of BITS85BATCH

Image
A logo par excellence They were all born in different parts of India, studied hard (some might say they hardly studied but made it to BITS) at different schools and their +2 scores got them to study and play together in the year 1985 at BITS, Pilani – the abode of higher education. While some of them got into 4-year integrated courses, some others got into 5-year dual degree courses.  The year 2014 marks the Silver Jubilee Year and the batch mates decided to have their SJM (Silver Jubilee Meet). That several Pre-SJM meets happened at different parts of the world as a precursor to the actual SJM stands testimony to the enthusiasm of the batch. The size of the batch is 564 and is spread across various continents. It is a humongous task to even communicate a message to all of them, leave alone the task of getting them together. But, thanks to technology that came to the rescue of the Organizing Committee (OC) in the form of Telegram, Whats-app, Google Groups, YouTube and Faceboo

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
