Morning Show Muchatlu - Mantra
Mantra starring Charmme and Sivaji is a sporadically interesting but mostly interminable horror flick revolving around a haunted house, a locked room,and some inexplicable deaths. While the visuals are undoubtedly a highlight, the director does a superb job of ensuring that Charmme or the demon never quite scare you.
There are hardly any chilling moments or [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - State Rowdy
State Rowdy wants to be both an all-out hilarious comedy but it fails miserably — it is largely devoid of both jokes and a sensible plot. In fact, the only thing to be learned from the film is that once you have a hit in telugu cinema called Missamma, you can get away with anything.The [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Godava
Godava directed by Kodandarami Reddy who has a history of handling 97 films dishes out a debut film for his son Vaibhav that looks like an endlessly recycled and diluted love story that spells confusion and lacks clarity. If he had chosen a better script and a better dialogue writer, Vaibhav would have had the [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Takkari
It feels so good to watch Nitin on screen after a long time and this one starts very well as a typical mass flick and you’d be forgiven for expecting yet another of that worn out genre like Khatarnak. Director Amma Rajashekar after a brief sabbatical dishes out a freaky entertainer where you wouldn’t understand [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Maisamma IPS
Maisamma IPS is not the first ever movie that casts a woman in the role of avenger. It is surprising that Dasari had chosen a cliched subversive subject to woo the masses. Though this film attempts to offer a positive response to a bad situation, it also glorifies revenge and manipulation. Mumait is seen rejoicing [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu… Bajantreelu
Bajantreelu is not the sound of a musical band at the wedding hall, here it is about a group of cronies who make life out of pampering people’s ego and whose only aim in life is buttering the person concerned. With so much explanation you wouldn’t find any one remotely close with those qualities in [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu….Viyyalavari Kayyalu
This film is a must watch for all those couples who’ve eloped recently or planning to, their parents notwithstanding and also for the curious types who are constantly on the prowl to draw inferences from the recent major breaking story of a runaway bride. An undisguised attempt to draw crowds by using populist dialogues (it [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Athidhi
Surender Reddy’s skill matches his ambition and it comes to the fore in his second venture Athidhi that results in an engaging and a visually appealing film. It has all the trappings of a formula film with big screen accoutrements and despite a stale plot succeeds in churning out endearing performances from the lead actors. [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Pellaindhi Kaani
Director EVV Satyanarayana is in complete form this time around. To accept the directorial reins of a love story that defies the stereotype, is indeed a challenge. But the way EVV has treated the subject speaks volumes of his aptitude.
After Aame and Ammo Okato Tareeku, this film Pellaindhi Kaani offers ample reminders why the director [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Tulasi
Director Boyapati Srinu armed with a tight script begins his narration by introducing his main actors as a married couple and then goes on to hold the story together with a series of flashbacks that has a heady mix of emotions and violence. Overall it becomes a predictable film by interval but the director’s knack [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Bhayya
Vishal’s quarterly visits to Hyderabad to wax eloquent on his roots and promote his dubbed movies seems to click well only with the front benchers. Heavy on stunts and action, Bhayya paces itself well and hardly has any distinct intensity about it. There are some rather clichéd moments here and there, but you wouldn’t think [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Happy Days
College is just not the place for fun but the point that creates the ladder for the rest of life. There is so much one could learn in those few years and the first few days make or mar the psyche of a student. While ragging in any form is a cognizable and non-bailable criminal [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Chirutha
Puri Jagannath’s recent work Pokiri and Desamuduru, while still uncompromising, has been more genre-classifiable and thus reached larger audiences. Chirutha his latest offering is garnished well with commercial trappings. You’ll find an adequate dose of romance, sentiment and dollops of violence. As a director, he seems to have overcome any embarrassment at his own talent [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Vijayadasami
Vijayadasami begins with director Samudra’s panegyric on the Nandamuri clan, giving us a peek into his acting aspirations. This is his next remake from Sivakasi after Evadaite Naakenti and the director attempts to give the hero of the film a mass image but does little to extract the right emotions from the hero.
Kalyanram falls in love [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Hello Premistaara
Hello Premistaara..the title sounds freaky and one might mistake it for a teaser but the subject is a fairly conventional one - two identical looking boys, both in love with the same girl, it’s a perfectly serviceable plot, except for the key logical flaw that the guy who is given grey shades ends up becoming [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Kodithe Kottaliraa
Debutant Venkat Prabhu makes cricket the theme of Chennai 600028 (pin code of a local area) and the film is dubbed as Kodithe Kottaliraa. While the original is supposed to be a major breakthrough, attracting a surprisingly large audience to experience the thrills of playing street/gully cricket, it fails to make a connection here primarily because of it’s [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Chandamama
Chandamama wants to be a classic moronic movie, but it’s just too stupid to achieve that goal. It’s the story of four youngsters who sit around and do nothing. Indeed, their biggest decision seems to be whether or not to get married and the synopsis is all about clearing that confusion.
The films begins on a [...]
Morning Show Muchatlu - Raghavan
Gautam Menon shows his fetish again for cop stories and this one creates a tone of somber determination and provides an engaging plot. In this dubbed film Kamal strikes the Telugu screen as a courageous cop who investigates a series of brutal rapes and murders, with the culprits seeming to cover more than one country.
While [...]
Yamagola-An exemplary case of diminishing returns
Some directors have the knack of making frictionless comedies for the front benchers and Srinivas Reddy is one of them. Don’t look too deep in this film that is predominantly about male bonding. Srikanth and Venu attempt confident parodies of old collaborations, the former takes ghoulish delight in tormenting the mortals and his screen-buddy by [...]
Rajamouli on a winning spree
Rajamouli continues to prove himself a master of mood. There have been many movies on Yama, but this doesn’t feel like a dragged-out continuation of a series but rather a climactic, satisfying culmination, a socio-fantasy that’s delicate, yet cheeky and chic, a difficult balance to strike.
It’s all stuff you’ve seen before but it’s well crafted and [...]
