Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam Appalraju Review


 
Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam Appalraju


Hey guys...was sup?
Watched Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam Appalraju today morning show @INOX.

                Ram Gopal Varma prepares the audience by briefing that this is a tragedy movie before the titles, saying that he promoted this movie as a comedy film just for the sake of getting the public to the movie theater, as the public will not come if it is promoted as a Tragedy movie. This is just to prepare the audience.
                The film starts with a theatre scene where Sunil watches a movie in Amalapauram. He gets inspired by watching movies and wants to make a movie with his script. Well, watch the movie on screen...

Well, straight to the point...I feel that the movie is Average. I felt boring some times in certain situations.

Highlights:
  • Sunil is the best choice for this story. If it is not Sunil, the movie would be a disaster.
  • Sunil’s awesome dance performance especially in the first song and the last final remix song. He is just awesome on screen when making dance moves. I bet, that most of the top heroes now could not dance like that.
  • Real-time problems faced by film makers are show nicely.
  • Swathi is good and did her part well.
  • Satirical characterization about Critics and reviews.
  • Songs picturisation is good

Lowlights:
  • Slow narration
  • Doesn’t feel like Ram Gopal Varma’s movie.
  • Comedy is not up to the mark.
  • Ravi Teja is wasted.


Well coming to the rating, it is 2.5/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).

Gaganam Review


Gaganam

Watched GAGANAM on Sunday. I guess it was the second movie which was shot with RED CAMERA in Telugu after EENADU. My 1st impression after watching the movie was that Nagarjuna should be appreciated for accepting this role, as it is a non-commercial flick. Another one whom I should mention is ‘Dil’ Raju and Prakash Raj for their efforts to make this film on such a scale. Hope it brings good revenue for both of them in Telugu as well as in Tamil.

Well, straight to the point...I feel the movie is good. The tension and tight screenplay maintain the pace of the movie. It is a good idea to make them movie with no songs as songs would have diluted the script to a greater extent.

Highlights:
  • Neat Background Score, which creates the required tension for the pace of the screenplay.
  • Nagarjuna and Prakash raj and I like the assistant NSG commander to Nagarjuna (Don’t know his name).
  • Simple comedy which brings laughs at right moments.
  • Guhan’s Cinematography.
  • Sentimental scenes and message oriented scenes like the “The Church Father asking for Quran to read as any religion says the same”, “Pakistani kid operated in Chennai and getting back to her country”
Lowlights:
  • Bramhanandam is misused (not much need is there for his presence)
  • Prithvi for the character of a film hero (May be useful for tamil audience)


Well, coming to the rating, it is 3.25/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).
