Movie Review - Sashirekha Parinayam
This is the fourth film in a row that Genelia acted as the sweet, chirpy, plain hearted girl running away from home and reveling in her freedom. The story is not path-breaking, we have seen it before. A girl refusing to marry a boy, she hasn’t seen him earlier, escapes from home and bumps into [...]
Movie Review - Mental Krishna
Mental Krishna is a story of a man who is impotent and tortures his wife because of his limitations. Posani Krishna Murali dressing like a woman in the posters might bring in curious audience and might have initial openings but the film manacled by a weak script and uninhibited crass acting is highly unlikely to [...]
Movie Review - Neninthe
There have been innumerable stories on the film industry and quite a bit of history behind each character. Neninthe is not a satire but a reflection of the lives of the people dependent on films for survival . Right from the struggling technicians, junior artistes, the neo-riche producers and mafia who aspire to have a [...]
Movie Review - Nacchavule
The posters of the squirrels, the monkeys, the dogs and promotion surrounding Nacchavule has ended with it’s release. Lav Kumar’s (Tanish) only ambition is to have a girl friend. With no other focus in life, all he does is racing on the bike with his best pal Narasimha and wooing as many girls as possible. [...]
Movie Review - Chedugudu

Movie Review-Kuberulu
Kuberulu appears to be a comedy at first glance but that is rather deceiving. In fact, it would’ve played a lot better if it had been more serious in tone. The film begins rather strangely, a big time goon Siva Prasad’s follower loots a treasure trunk containing the Nizam’s jewels but is shot by the [...]
Movie Review - Vinayakudu
The first thing that strikes one about Vinayakudu is it’s place. It’s just not the hero Karthik (Krishnudu) who drags himself with his obese figure, but the entire narrative is a ceaseless and the plot can end in a couple of hours comfortable is extended making the viewer restless and impatient. Karthik suffers from an [...]
Movie Review - Surya s/o Krishnan
Surya s/o Krishnan is a three hour long seamless narration of the journey of a man through various stages of his life. It captures the essence of the hero’s childhood, youth, his love life, marriage and eventually a battle with his self…a process of understanding, reconciliation and self discovery to emerge as an ideal human [...]
Movie Review - Avakai Biryani
Avakai Biryani is a strange title but it doesn’t take much time to realise why the filmmaker used it. Lakshmi is a Brahmin girl selling mango pickle and Akbar is a muslim youth who drives an auto to eke out a living. It is also a tale of a village, it’s poverty, politics, good friends [...]
Movie Review - Ekalavyudu
A young man Karthik (Udaykiran) is at the beck and call of a villain merely because the latter had given him a few lakhs to bail his family out of difficult times and the villain in turn asks for the hero’s heart for transplantation as his only daughter suffers from a strange disease. Ekalavyudu sticks [...]
Movie Review - Yuvata
This is another teen-centric film but is peppered with romance, comedy, friendship and revolves around the travails of a few youth who are struggling to meet their goals. The film opens with Nikhil who is a no-nonsense, fun loving guy opting to leave his home in the village due to the harassment of his uncle [...]

Movie Review: Hero
A minister passes a government order that the city requires more police officers so anyone who is just about honest will be more than welcome, so a bunch of youngsters and surprisingly middle aged men join as recruits. Radhakrishna (Nitin) and Krishnaveni (Bhavana) are amongst them. While the former is pampered by his mother Kovai [...]
Movie Review: Blade Babji

Movie Review: Keka
Director Teja’s films if not entertaining are atleast worth some kind of attention. Here once again, he doesn’t do anything impressive or neither does he manage to bring anything unique to the love story. He introduces writer Seetarama Sastry’s son Raja as the hero and Ishani who isn’t spectacular but by no means a hindrance [...]

For some inexplicable reason she hears strange voices threatening to kill her and fears that a person named Shankar could be the one responsible for it. She first [...]
Movie Review: Ninna Nedu Repu
Lakshmikant Chenna who made Hyderabad Nawabs makes an admirable effort in dishing out an interesting story which at first succeeds in keeping you on your viewing toes by mixing some drama, little comedy and suspense but towards the end throws it away to a thoroughly formulaic treatment. Sometimes good in parts, most inconsistent, the film [...]
Movie Review: Nenu Meeku Telusa?
At first, Nenu Meeku Telusa may feel like something different, stylish and original. In the end, it’s just another pretty below average coming-of-age story that tries to pass as innovative by donning quirky characters, remix songs, misplaced humour and long, boring dialogues filled with invectives. Not to discredit debutant director Ajay Shastri’s attempt at thoughtfulness, [...]

He needs to go abroad for a few days on official work and leaves the responsibility of taking care of his home, dog, daughter to his employee Sri Ram (Srikant).
