The Film

This is one more film, where its makers think that a few songs, dances and fights should be composed first and the gaps to be filled with some scenes so that the film’s duration clocks 120 minutes.

The Synopsis

Radhakrishna (Nitin) is just an aimless young fellow wasting his time here and there. His father Nagendra Naidu (Naga Babu) is a police officer who wants his son to join the police force. Radhakrishna’s mother (Kovai Sarala) wants him to be a film star.


hero cinima review

Suddenly, Radhakrishna is shown undergoing training in a police academy. He meets Krishna Veni (Bhavana) who is also being trained at the academy. After a couple of love-scenes and songs later a TV channel claims that Krishna Veni is a naxalite.
The rest of the story deals with unraveling the so-called secret of Krishna Veni being a naxalite.

The Performance

Nitin and Bhavane look like fish out of water, particularly if that water is called a story. Nagababu and Ramyakrishna have just gone through their motions. Kovai Sarala plays a weird role, perhaps attempting to look comic and ends up on a queer note. Even Brahmanandam is seen giving an insipid performance.

The Techniques

GV Sudhakar Naidu should surely revert back to his bit-role acting in films rather than directing them.


hero cinima review

This film clearly shows that GV does not know the fundamentals of story telling, screenplay writing and direction. The contrived incidents are an assault on the minds of the audience.
Manisarma gave good music and Ramprasad handled the camera well, but of what use, when the film does not have a story to tell? Kannan is there because he has job to do.

The Verdict

The best place for the cans of this film to be in…is not in theatres, but the nearest trash can, because even the front benchers, for whom the film appears to have been made, should also be spared from a traumatic viewing experience.
Please forget that the film Hero by GV was ever made. It is such a colossal waste of valuable film and financial resources, in addition to invaluable time.

Bhavana says not in love with nitin

Sexy beauty Bhavana, who resembles Trisha in some poses, has cleared the air that she is not in love with Nitin, but is still waiting patiently for the right candidate. From the past few weeks since Nitin and Bhavana has signed up for a movie, it was rumored that Nitin had proposed to Bhavana and Bhavana has agreed to the love proposal.
But clearing of these rumors, Bhavana disclosed some of the qualities of her dream boy. She openly said that she would love to have a person who is not from the industry but is quite settled in his profession. She also discloses that he must be witty, chirpy with some humor talks and most importantly with loving and caring nature.
Bhavana also said that at first she would love to date the person with the above qualities and then marry him, if she finds him according to her taste. She also disclosed that if he does not like some of her qualities, she would love to change them for him.
BUT the last statement of her was bit shocking, Bhavana disclosed that she would date her dream boy and would show him heaven on earth, and then after that she is going to marry him.

Ontari - Review

Ontari directed by BV Ramana has Gopichand and Bhavana in the lead. Good screen presence by Gopichand and Bhavana are among a few positive things to talk about in the film while mediocre narration disappoints. The film is about how a guy takes revenge on the goons for his love. Story in short: Vamsi (Gopichand) and Bujji (Bhavana) fall in love with each other. They even get engaged. Enter the bad guy Pandu (Ajay) who also likes Bujji. One day Bujji is kidnapped by Pandu. The tale that follows is surely not routine. In a way, for Vamsi, Bujji is there and not there too. Watch it on the big screen to know what that really means. .. Gopichand is simply superb and is a perfect for this role. Special mention is required for heroine Bhavana who makes a good impression with Telugu audience. She has a grace - both in looks and in performance. She looked typical Andhrite and looked good in both traditional and modern dresses. She performed both comedy and emotions with equal ease. Ajay is good in his role as Pandu. Raghu Babu does a routine role. The same thing applies to Shiyaji Shinde, who plays a special officer to hunt down the killer but later realizes the true cause of the killer and supports him. Sunil, Ali, Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao etc are content in the film. Barring a twist, the film has similarities to a few old films. Even though the plot and twist provide novelty, narration fails to satiate. Director should have taken more care with the screenplay; especially in the second half. The film has good formula. But the director failed in merging the formulae and the script properly. Instead, the film turns into a fight and song sequence. Songs hampered the pace in the film. Even though there is some comedy in the first half, that was totally lacking in the second half. If proper care has been taken in the second half - both with entertainment elements and screenplay, the verdict might have been different. Technically, one of the biggest assets for the film is music by Mani sharma. Camera Man Sarvesh Murari was good with his camera. Editor Gautham Raju did a good job with editing. However, he could have done better in the second half. Plus points in the film are - Gopichand, Bhavana, music by Mani Sharma, entertainment in the first half and interval twist. Minus points are narration and lack of entertainment in the second half. OVerall, first half of the film has entertainment elements and there is good comedy. Second half becomes a bit heavy with sentiment and emotions. Director tried something different in the film with something that is not common in Telugu film formula. The run of the film really depends on how the audience will receive it.
