Movie Review - Brahmotsavam (Telugu)

This 156 minutes movie is sure to test audience patience levels as they are left yawning through out the duration of the movie. The movie directed by Sreekanth Addala opens with a plot that is confusing to say the least. A small girl sighing to Mahesh to marry her is in too bad a taste. Though the goal of the movie is appreciable, the screenplay is too lousy and irritating. It felt more like a photo session for the starry looking Mahesh Babu than a motion picture.
The conversations between Mahesh and Kajal are meaningless and make the audience swirl in their seats and make them restless. There are so many big time actors in the movie but one gets to feel that several crows have gathered at one place making horrible and unbearable noise. Director Srikanth may be sentimental about Rohini Hattangadi who also acted in SVSC which did reasonably well at the box office and so she finds a character in this film too. There were too many group dances and songs, probably to justify the title of the movie but they were too unnatural and boisterous. The plots seems to have changed to fast and gives a feel of cut and paste. None of the conversations between the characters were neither enjoyable nor made any sense. The scenes showing Kalyanam of Lord with the bride's and bridegroom's sides engaging in debate were too unbearable. 
The lyrics are good but the music is so-so. 
The second half of the film is totally meaningless with the hero travelling from one place to another in search of his roots. He travels with Samantha from Nagpur to Lucknow to Haridwar to Varanasi to Solapur to Bangalore with an objective that is hard to digest. The scenes at each of these places feel more like individual stage plays. The audience have a smile only in a few scenes involving Vennela Kishore who played the role of Lilly. 
This movie will go down in the career of Mahesh Babu as one of the worst possible though the name sounds great. Only the producers and the director should know as to why the movie is named a Brahmotsavam as there is nothing of that sort in the story. 
The audience walk out of the halls banging their heads. The movie can be aptly renamed as Talanoppotsavam( the festival of headaches) as it causes bad and unbearable headaches for the audience. 
Overall I would give a ** 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

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

A golden Silver Jubilee Meet of BITS85BATCH

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
