Story

Sampath (Allari Naresh) is an orphan who works in a gym center. He hates love between a young man and young girl and keeps on opposing that in public. This catches the attention of an arrogant rich girl Meghna (Madalasa Sharma) who challenges her friends that she could pull him in love and make him a puppet around her. Her attempts fail all the while. Then she falls in his love in real. But still he denies her. Then Meghna takes the help of her brother to convince Sampath. In a surprising incident when Meghna's brother approaches Sampath, latter kills the former. Why he killed? What are his motives? That forms the rest of the story. It ended up as an age old revenge drama.

Artists Performance:

Allari Naresh didn't leave his trade mark style of dialogue delivery and instant punches but since the film happened to be a serious flick, the scope for humor is less. But Naresh got a scope to portray seriousness and revenge this time.

Madalasa Sharma is like any other Mumbai girl. She has delivered average performance. She is there for glamour in full dose indeed.

Chandra Mohan and Sudha are there for melodrama and Saira Banu is there for a long pathetic episode. Sayaji Shinde maintained mannerism of singing songs from old films as per situation.

Others are just ok. Music is above average a couple of songs 'Tappusodara..', 'Vennelavo..' really pleased the ears.

Dialogues by Tadi Balaram and Satish Vegesna are apt and rightly grooved in.

Appearance of lyricist Vanamali before a song in his real-time character is interesting.

EVV has chosen an outdated narration, although the subject is universal.

Final Analysis:

It's like tasting sour in the name of sweet. The title 'Fitting Master' with Allari Naresh in it would obviously give an impression that it is an out and out comedy entertainer. But it is not so. It's blended with melodrama, weeps, shouts, fights and all sorts of ingredients that a serious film possesses. Although the maker of the movie attempted to give a message to today's youth those are falling in love and marrying without the consent of parents, the title and expectation didn't match. It is true that audiences those love to laugh on the occasion of festival will walk into theatres to watch this film. But they will be disappointed for watching a serious movie with scattered comedy.

And it is not a film for Allari Naresh, at this juncture. Although EVV tried to bring an image make over for Naresh, this film didn't serve the purpose as it's made with obsolete content.

The film may get some initial mileage in B, C centers but on a whole it cannot be considered a wholesome entertainer.

Three Movies For This Sankranthi

Once upon a time in telugu film industry, Balakrishna Narasimha Naidu, Venkatesh kalisumdham Raa and Mahesh Babu Okkadu released during Sankranthi festival season and became super duper hit movies which broke all the exisiting box-office records in Tollywood.

The Film

This is a full length comedy where ordinary people attempt impossible things and get caught in a web of their own errors.

Blade Babji cinema review

Babji, along with his gang, resort to a bank robbery in Visakhapatnam and the money is hidden at a place where a house is being constructed. A situation arises whereby Babji and his gang could not come back to get the money for some time.

When Babji and gang finally come back to retrieve the stolen money, they find a full-fledged police station there. With a typical criminal trick Babji becomes part of police at the new police station, where the money looted from the bank is hidden.

From then on, a flurry of comic pitfalls is in place, as Babji and gang try to get back the loot.


Blade Babji cinema review

The Performance

The role of Blade Babji suits Naresh to a T and he gives a good performance. Sayali Bhagat is passable. All the comedians have got good roles and they succeed in giving laughs.

The Techniques

Devi Prasad did a somewhat satisfactory job with story, screenplay, dialogues and direction to get useful comedy incidents and situations, though the song sequences appear to hinder the narration.

This is a low-budget film and the average fare is evident in all technical departments including production values.

The Verdict

Blade Babji is a full length time-pass film with enough comic antics.

Top 5 movies this week

This week is much better in comparison to last week in terms of box office collections. The release of NTR starrer Kantri has set the cash registers in motion at many cinema halls across the state.
1. Kantri
This NTR starrer produced by Ashwini Dutt and directed by Meher Ramesh opened to some very big expectations from the audience. The two heroines, Hansika Motwani and Tanisha also raised the heat considerably. The film has opened to great collections but is attracting a mixed talk.

2. Parugu

Allu Arjun's film 'Parugu' attracted a lot of media attention and curiosity. The film is about the relationship between a father and his daughters. Bhaskar, who made the super hit film Bommarillu is the director. The name of Dil Raju as producer was another big plus for the film. The film has not made it very big at the box office it is however doing reasonably well and stands at the second place.

3. Jalsa

Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa opened to some fantastic record breaking collections. Some reports say that the film has so far made over 40 crore. While there is no official confirmation about the figures, the film is now set to complete 50 days soon.

4. Bommana-Chandana

The film Bommana Brothers and Chandana Sisters opened to some weak box office collections. The good mouth to mouth publicity and the summer vacation have improved the box office collections now. The film stands at the fourth place. Allari Naresh and Krishna Bhagawan play Bommana Brothers in the film.

5. Gamyam

Krish's Gamyam has crossed the 50 days mark recently and is still going strong. The film is being patronized in a big way by the family audiences as well as the BPO crowd. The film is now at the fifth place. The novel screenplay and taking is the big draw for the film.

Visakha Express - Review

Mullapudi Vara comes up with a novel point for the thriller Visakha Express starring Rajeev Kanakala, Allari Naresh and Preeti Jingania. The film has some creative heads involved including SS Rajamouli and Chandrasekhar Yeleti. Chandrasekhar Yeleti provided the screenplay while Mullapudi Vara directed the film. Even with all these heads involved, the film fails to create the required impact. The point is novel, no lag in the film and scintillating performances by Rajeev Kanakala and Naresh; However, the narration leaves a feel of something-a-miss. Story in short: Raja (Rajeev Kanakala) is a doctor, who faces several problems due to the alocholic attitude of his father Kota Srinivasa Rao. Raja's father gets killed in suspicious circumstances and police suspect Raja. Raja is on run now. He meets Raja Ravi Varma (Allari Naresh). They already met in a train in the past and know each other. Raja is in shock when he comes to know that is is Raja Ravi Varma, who killed his father. Now Raja Ravi Varma makes an interesting proposition to Raja, if he wanted a confession with the police. What is the proposition and why did Ravi Varma kill Raja's father forms the story plot. Big plus for the film is the excellent performances by Rajeev Kanakala and Allari Naresh. In a sadistic role, Allari Naresh is amazing and one wonders if any one else could do the role as he did it. In fact, he hogs the entire limelight. Rajeev Kanakala is as usual, delivers a very good performance. That is all that can be talked about the performances in the film because the rest of the cast does not have much. Preeti Jingania is okay in her role. Sindhu Tulani appears in a short role and one wonders why? Ali, Kota, Giridhar and Vijaya Rangaraju are content in the roles. The story point is novel. The film has good performances, excellent background score by Vijay Koorakula, camera by Das are good. Dialogs by Harshavardhan are content and good at times. Stunts by Ram Laxman are good. With all the good values, the film could have been a well made out film. However, the film ends up as a good attempt because of the not-so-exciting screenplay. Narration could have been better. There is no lag felt in the film but at the same time there is no excitement either. Sequences get predictable and that kind of kills the interest. Another big drawback is lack of comedy in the film. Even though Ali is in the film, his character did not get the right elevation. Overall, the film can be seen for the performances of Rajeev Kanakala and Allari Naresh alone. The script work (co-authored by Vakkatam Vamsi) provides ample scope but the narration is predictable. The film opened up good. And the run of the film depends on how the next releases fare.

Gamyam Review

Gamyam- above average
Star cast: Sarvanand, Kamalinee Mukherji, Allari Naresh, Ms. Narayana, Giri Babu and others
Director: Radha Krishna
Music: R. Anil and ES Murthy
Story
The film Gamyam comes as a ray of hope that Tollywood Industry is going in the positive way and will live to an extent in the year 2008. This year till date, we have been witnessing a series off flops from big stars like Balakrishna to Nagarjuna to small stars like Gopichand and Raja. Except for Krishna which was an average flick, all the other films were huge flops at the box office.
Gamyam the movie starts wit the story of a rich Guy Abhiram (Sarvanand). He is the younger sibling in the house and has grown up as a spoilt brat in the house. He is a son of a rich industrialist who has innumerable Riches and properties. As is the case with many rich people, Abhiram has also a bug in his mind that poor and middle classed people are ill mannered and are bad natured.So Abhiram never mingles with people who are not up to his mark in the riches. At this time, he comes across a beautiful girl named Janaki (Kamalinee) . Janaki is an orphan who comes up in life the hard way. She is a doctor by profession and she serves the poor and the less privileged.The two become close and mingle closely. However, Abhiram doesn’t like Janaki’s modest background and her social services. In the same way Janaki also hates Abhiram’s attitude of hating the poor and loving the richer class.
Janaki who becomes vexed with his attitude leaves him and goes away. Abhiram is now desperately in look out for Janaki.Then enter the character named Seenu (Allari Naresh) who is a petty thief. Abhiram due to some incidents comes in contact with Seenu and with his help tries to trace out Janaki. The two search for Janaki on Seenu’s bike.Abhiram finally manages to trace Janaki at a small village where she is serving the poor.
It is here that Abhiram learns the true meaning of life, while his long journey with Seenu makes him understand the lessons of human nature and also the realities inside the lives of the rich and the poor.Finally, Abhiram changes in the climax and all ends in a happy note.
Performance
Sarvanand gives a good account of himself as a rich spoilt brat. It can be concluded that this guy has turned into a serious hero and is improving day by day. This film will definitely give a boost to his career and will also offer good film roles as such, in his coming future.Allari Naresh finally comes up with an outstanding performance. It can be said that, he is the main meaning of the movie. His character of Seenu is well carved and has full scope to entertain the audience and also to give a message. His comic timing is excellent.Kamalinee Mukherji’s role is not very lengthy. She is in the first half for about 158 minutes and then in the second half for 20 minutes. But her role is a need to the movie and also plays a pivotal role in making the audience glued to their seats. She exposes averagely. But truly speaking, she has finally changed a lot. Her beauty, her curves from top to bottom are ravishing and will make the male fans of her drooling over her in their sleep. She is now a full fledged heroine with good dancing skills and expressions.On the whole the film is quite interesting and will entertain the audience very well. Though it seems to be a message oriented in the end, it has been said in a novel and agreeable way. Full credit goes to the director who made this film with small, but good actors.The film is definitely worth watching and will give your every rupee back with its full entertainment. It is a family entertainment movie.
