Review

Story
Chotu (Prabhas) is an orphan who makes an earning by catching hold of criminals and taking commission from the police. He is also in search of his parents and keeps pampering Chidambaram (makrand) his guardian to reveal the truth since he kidnaps Chotu when he is a baby. Things change when Sameera (kangana), a music teacher enters into his life and along with her also come Johnny Bhai (sonu), Kailash (mukul) and others. What is the link between all? Does Chotu get to meet his family in the end? All this forms the rest of the story.

Artists Performance:

Prabhas: Yet another energetic performance from him but he needs to change his dialogue delivery which has become repetitive and sometime rolling. The idea of getting closer to the masses is a good thought but this doesn’t work always. He can recollect his diction for ‘Chatrapathi’ which had more punch and impact.

Kangana Though not very pretty, she has got an innocent sex appeal making her attractive. She looks just average and did justice to her character given her debut in Telugu.

Sonu Sood Interesting and entertaining performance, his sequences with Brahmaji are a highlight. He seems to be filling the gap of Raghuvaran in a large way with his body language and voice.

Brahmanandam, Ali, Abhinayasri The trio has come up with a comedy track but that has not been able to impress. Both Brahmi and Ali look stereotype. Abhinayasri looks shapely and looks seductive in few scenes.

Mukul Dev, Makrand Deshpande These Bollywood imports were not required as their characters didn’t have much to offer. Not really sure why they had to be roped in. Makrand is a highly talented actor but his caliber was not used properly.

Others like Posani, Venu Madhav, Sunil did their bit as required but not very appealing.

Tanikella Bharani and Sangeetha are ok.

Technically, the highlight in the movie is music. All departments functioned well and the production values are also impressive. The director seems to have not kept full energies in some areas of script. Hence the drop down in entertainment graph here are there.

Final Analysis:

The movie promises good entertainment in the take off but the graph suffers in the flow. The problem in the movie is with the lack of comedy carried by comedy artistes. The actual comedy was worked well with Prabhas and Sonu Sood. And it is obvious that the choice of heroine has reduced the scope of attracting family audience to theatres. It’s bluntly limited to mass audiences and as there is no potential for the movie to allure repeat-viewers, the purpose wouldn’t work completely.

First half of the movie is entertaining but the second half is disturbing to some extent. The graph has fallen down when the narration goes to Bangkok. Puri seems to be so obsessed with Bangkok in his films and hardly understands the need to roll cameras there every time. The climax gets mixed response- some feel that it’s subtle to end the movie that way but others may feel it’s incomplete.

On a whole, it’s a movie that hasn’t reached expectations although entertained to some extent.

Prabhas in full swing

Young hero Prabhas is now all set to act in a film produced by Krishnam Raju and directed by Mehar Ramesh.A per the filmnagar sources,it is the remake of Don. Krishna Raju is launching his Gopi Krishna Films banner after a long time with this film.After that, Prabhas will act in a Telugu film to be directed by Santhosham fame Dasarath. Dil Raju will be producing this film.

Prabhas new movie with four heroines

Gopikrishna Movies banner of Krishnam Raju is coming up with a film titled Raju. Prabhas will play the title role and Krishnam Raju will be playing the vital role in the film. As for the inside sources, Four heroines will be roped to play female leads opposite Prabhas. The film will go on floors from August.

The director and other details will be announced very soon.

On the other hand, Prabhas will also do a film for Director Raja (son of editor Mohan). Trisha will be the heroine and Editor Mohan will produce the film. This film will go on floors after Raju completes its shoot.

Prabhas dialogue getting huge response

Prabhas's latest release Bujjigadu-Made in Chennai may have opened to mixed responses from the BO but the actor has recieved rave reviews for his performance. Surprisingly it's not a stunt sequence or a song that is getting the biggest cheer from the frontbenchers, but the scenes where the actor mouths the stock dialogue Darling... n the film. The line has a little story behind it. Apparently the hunky actor addresses his closest friends as Darling and the director Puri Jagannath incorporated it in the film. As they say reality is the inspiration for all imagination.

Top 5 movies this week

The release of Bujjigadu and Pandurangadu in the space of one week has improved the box office collections considerably. The week on the whole was okay and the coming weeks also look promising in terms of box office collections.

1. Pandurangadu:The film opened on a rather dull note with little hype and poor pre-release publicity. But Balakrishna's brilliant performance, particularly in the second half and his role as lord Krishna are a big draw. The added glamour of Sneha and Tabu and some good music by Keeravani make the film worth watching.

2. Bujjigadu:Bujjigadu made in Chennai opened to a lot of hype and expectations. Prabhas was desperately looking for a big hit. The film's big draw are Prabhas, Puri, Mohan Babu and of course Trisha. Prabhas looks good in his new style and he has also done a great job in the fights and dances.

3. Kantri:NTR's Kanthri has everything new looks for in a NTR film. Director Meher Ramesh unveiled a new look NTR in the film. The action of NTR, Hansika Motwani's charms and Prakash Raj's villainy are the main highlights of the film. It sits in position-3 of the toppers list.

4. Parugu:The Dil Raju and Bommarillu Bhaskar film 'Parugu' starring Allu Arjun and Sheela in the lead roles opened to some mixed talk but slowly picked up. The box office collections are dipping and the film is slowly running out of steam. It sits in position-4 as of now.

5. Jalsa:The Pawan Kalyan starrer Jalsa has completed 50 days run and is running with just average box office collections. The film however broke box office records by collecting 21 crore in the first two weeks of its release. The film now stands at the fifth place.

Prabhas in bangkok

Many Tollywood stars in USA, Hero Venkatesh is in USA and participating the shoot of Chinathakayala Ravi. Anushka, Sneha, and Allu Arjun are in USA. NBK is leaving to USA tomorrow, 30th May.
Now another young hero Prabhas left to Bangkok a couple of days back along with his manager and close friend Sreenu. Sreenu played a role in NTR's Kantri. It is pleasure trip in the hot summer.

Story, Screenplay, Dialogues & Direction: Puri Jagan

Released on: 22 May 2008
Review:
Story: Bujji (Prabhas) and Chitti (Trisha) are best buddies during their childhood. At the age of 11, Chitti develops some differences with Bujji and says that she will not meet him for the next 12 years. Bujji packs his bags and runaways to Chennai. He returns to AP after 12 years in search of Chitti. The rest of the story is all about how they meet each other. Artists Performance:

Prabhas: Prabhas is excellent in the role of Bujjigadu. The complete credit of Prabhas should go to Puri Jagan for weaving around his character to suit the strengths of Prabhas. Prabhas was little weak of his dialogue delivery in his earlier films. Puri Jagan used Godavari districts slang to write his dialogues for Prabhas and he uttered in an entertaining way. He also developed six-pack and looks stunning on the screen. The Bujjigadu character elevates the mass qualities of Prabhas and makes him go closer to the masses with this film.

Others:

Mohan Babu is very good in the role of heroine's brother. But a man of his stature need not do such supporting roles as his role in this film does not have much weight. Trisha is cute and she looks very beautiful. Sanjana is alright as the sister of heroine. Sunil scores high in the comedy department. MS Narayana entertains in the drunkard role. The separate comedy thread written for Ali is not up to the mark. Kota is good as villain. Subbaraju is impressive though he keeps repeating such roles. Jayaprakash Reddy, Brahmaji and Raja Ravindra are adequate. The artists who did the role of kids in the beginning of the film are pretty good. Mumaith Khan did an item song.

Technical Departments:
Story - screenplay - direction: The story of the film is simple. The screenplay is adequate though there are dragging moments in the second half. The heroine will not come to know that Prabhas is her Bujjigadu till the end of film. It is difficult to write screenplay for such scripts. Puri Jagan gets lots of credits for his writing in this film. The characterization of Prabhas is excellent and dialogues written to him are witty. Though it is a love story, the director has given the look of action film to it. Hence, people may find it little shocking to see Prabhas and Mohan Babu becoming friends instead of waging a war. Puri Jagan simplified certain things like hero escaping from a jail.

Other departments: Puri Jagan steals the show as a dialogue writer. His punches and one-liners written for Prabhas are worth commending. Cinematography by Shyam K Naidu is an asset. Music by Sandeep Chowta appears good on the screen. The picturization of the songs are good. The ways he edited the second song with split screens is very impressive. The style of showing various animals in a song of second half is also creative. There are some glitches in editing of scenes as some scenes end abruptly. Fights are pretty good. Making standards by Creative Commercials are excellent

Analysis: First half of the film is good and entertaining. The second half tempo is little down. The plus points of the film are Prabhas characterization and Puri Jagan's writing. The negative points are excessive fights, extended climax fight and a few silly scenes (reason behind kids not talking for 12 years and escape from jail). Prabhas's characterization stands out in the film. This film is definitely worth a look for Prabhas's characterization.

Kantri pushed bujjigadu made in chennai back !

Bujjigadu- made in Chennai- the film directed by Poori Jagannath with Prabhas and Trisha is going for Censor certificate on 15th May. The film was scheduled to release on 16th of May.
But Creative Commercials Rama Rao postponed release by a week days, though the film is ready by 15th May. Now the film will be released on 22nd of May.
The reason;- NTRjr promised to do a film for KS Rama Rao. And Kantri is doing well at the box office. KS Rama Rao doesn’t want his film Bujjigadu to compete with Kantri and spoil Kantri’s business and at the same time his Bujjigadu business at the box office.So KS Rama Rao decided to release the film on 22nd May.
So Kantri pushed Bujjigadu from 16th May to 22nd May.
