Jr.NTR's ADHURS Review : By Greatandhra.com

Film: Adhurs
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Jr NTR, Nayantara, Sheela, MS Narayana, Brahmanandam, Tanikella Bhrani, RajYA Lakshmi, Raghu Babu etc
Editing: Goutam Raj
Fights: Ram Laxman
Story: Kona Venkat
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Lyricst: Chandra Bose
Producers: Vamsi Mohan and Kodali Nani
Screenplay, Direction: VV Vinayak
Released On: 13th Jan 2010

The movie ‘Adhurs’ has been in current affairs due to the Telangana agitators and that resulted in huge openings for the movie. It became Herculean task for many fans to get tickets at box office price across the state. Theatres were gushed with film lovers since dawn on ‘Bhogi’ day.


Story:

It’s a story that runs on no suspense but humor. Like in many old movies, the twin brothers get separated at the time of birth. A Brahmin lady loses her child just a few minutes after his birth. The news first comes to the notice of an old woman in the family and she secretly replaces the dead-infant with a healthy baby from adjacent mother who delivers twins.

The adjacent mother leaves the hospital with single child assuming the other one died. Thus one boy grows up in Brahmin family as Chari (Jr NTR) and another grows up at his mother as Narsimha (Jr NTR).

While Chari is orthodox in speech, act and thought..Narasimha is rugged in every way. How these two brothers unite forms the climax. Chandrakala (Nayantara) pairs up with Chari and another cosmo-girl (Sheela) becomes the love interest of Narasimha.


Performances:

Jr NTR lives up to the expectations in everything. He brought many laughs in theaters with his Brahmin character and hilarious characterization. Narasimha part is quite routine. His dances took away the breath of audiences. Especially his steps in ‘pilla na valla kaadu’ received once-mores in theatres. But the costumes part is very weak. Why did he put on jackets in every scene? That’s not understood.

Nayantara is slim and sleek while Sheela looted young hearts with glowing skin and sensuous garments. Nothing more is left for heroines than this to discuss.

Brahmanandam is ok as Bhattu but more is expected from him in last 30 minutes as well. The film would have brought better feel with that. Raghu Babu is good and MS Narayana is better. Tanikella Bharani aptly grooved in Brahmin’s role.


Highlights:

* Kondavalasa (in Amitabh Bachchan get up) as hero in Chakkera Takkuva (Cheeni Kum remake) brought laughs.

* ‘Maa Baava Kallallo Aanandam Choodali’ dialogue of Ananth also brought hilarious attention.

* The change of lyrics from ‘Where is that Panche Kattu, where is that pilaka juttu, where is that niluvu bottu…Chaari’ to ‘where is that panche kattu, where is that paatha bike, where is that old look…Chaari..’ is not good but should be accepted due to Censor reasons.

* VV Vinayak appears in a single frame in the song ‘Sambho Siva Sambho…’and that resulted in loud whistles and shouts in theatres.

* NTR’s dances stood on the top.

* Brahmanandam’s comedy as lover to Nayanatara impresses.

* Bad guy Mahesh Manjrekar also tried to make people laugh to some extent in the role of big Don.

* All songs are good visual treats.


Disappointments:

* Sayaji Shinde’s character is half baked. Audiences didn’t understand if he were a positive or negative character. On a whole, the characterization graph is not complete.

* Climax is trash with senseless weapon theme. No one understood the logic and possibility of such a weapon that appears from air!!!

Analysis:

Well, coming into the analysis part, it’s a ‘King’ kind of narration but action dominated comedy. Audiences got vexed up watching sentiment and violence in this type of story line, but prefer it when blended with loads of comedy. Although attempts are made with the characters like Bhattu (Brahmanandam) and Atma (MS Narayana), the dose isn’t sufficient. The requirement is certainly more.


First half brings an average feel while the second half breezes little better with more comedians. But the climax is predictable and abrupt. That is very well within the expected limits of common audiences. What marred the movie from attaining greater heights is only the weapon-episode and climax part.

On a whole, it’s a treat for movie lovers as NTR appeared on screen after a very long gap.

Bottom Line: Watch it for NTR’s dances and his hilarious Brahminic performance.

Jagapathi Babu's PRAVARAKYUDU (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

Film: Pravarakhyudu

Rating: 3/5

Banner: Tolly 2 Holly Films

Cast: Jagapathi Babu, Priyamani, Hamsa Nandini, Brahmanandam, Sunil, Ali, Chalapathi Rao, Dharmavarapu, Rajyalakshmi and others

Music: M M Keeravani

Cinematography: Surender Reddy

Editing: M R Varma

Director: Madan

Producer: Ganesh Indukuri

Release date: 4th Dec 2009

Prime star Jagapathi Babu and Priyamani are being known as the ideal pair of Tollywood and here they are with a new movie that is meant to be a different love story and an entertainer. Let us see if it was impressive or not.


Story:

Sasi Kumar (Jagapathi) and Shailaja (Priyamani) study in the same college and though they are of opposite natures Shailaja gets attracted to Sasi. However, he doesn’t believe in love and Shailaja is disgusted with him. They get into their lives separately.

Years pass and Sasi becomes a noted name in his field of Zoological studies. He leaves Harvard job and comes to join a girl’s college as a lecturer. The principal of that college is Shailaja.

Why did he come to this college? Will their love rekindle? Will ‘no love’ factor transforms to ‘full love’? All this forms the rest of the story.


Performances:

Jagapathi Babu:
He has carried out his role with ease and the scenes where he is shown as a student, he looked too puffed up. Performance wise, it was a normal walk in the park so not much to be said.

Priyamani
She has done her job perfectly in terms of glamour and performance department, though she looks more sensuous in the Indian outfits, Priyamani was seen in all varieties. Two emotional scenes were good from her.

Hamsa Nandini
She has a brief presence and looks hot. As is the custom, she was given with a song and she has not disappointed.

Sunil
Though his role was small, he managed to come up with good laughter from the audience.

Others
Brahmanandam was regular, Dharmavarapu was effective, Ali failed to impress. Chalapathi Rao, Rajyalakshmi and other senior actors came up with the standard performances to add value to the film.


Highlights:

* Content in plot
* Music
* Cinematography
* Picturization of songs

Limitations:

* Jagapathi Babu touching the tummies of young girls while teaching music is not convincing but confusing and appeared ‘extra’!
* Girls’ getting carried away by charms of Jagapathi Babu is repetitive
* Lion episode is not well-fitting although pictured with good technique
* Ali’s comedy turned mere waste
* The climax scene where students and staff hold placards recommending love was ridiculous.

Analysis:

The director has come up with a simple tale of relationships and with a message that each has their own outlook depending on their experiences. The dialogues were simple but they could have added more depth, script was okay and screenplay was good during the first half. Comedy was not that much and editing was neat.


Costumes and art department made their presence felt. Full marks to cinematography and background score. The songs were captured really sensuous and though they were not situational, the picturization made up for it.

There were few silly things that the director could have avoided to make things look mature. Overall, the film relied heavily on the screenplay and due to that, the first half went smoothly without much complaint. However, the second half fizzled out and got dragged with unwanted songs and weak comedy. The climax should have been etched out with more impact to drive the message. The mass will like the songs and the family audience might find the narrative appealing barring a few elements of erratic script.

Bottom Line: Ok for family audience and ladies

Prabhas In & As EK NIRANJAN (2009) Movie Review

Film: EK NIRANJAN

Rating: 3/5

Banner: Adithya Ram Movies

Cast: : Prabhas, Kangana Ranaut, Sonu Sood, Tanikella, Makrand Deshpande, Mukul Dev, Posani, Ali, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Abhinayasri, Sunil, Venu Madhav etc

Music: Mani Sharma

Cinematography: Shyam K Naidu

Director: Puri Jagannadh

Producer: Adithya Ram

Release Date: October 29, 2009


Story:

A regular tale, the story begins with Chotu (prabhas) who works for the police department, unofficially. He keeps tracing out criminals, catching them and takes his commission from the cops. On the other hand, he is also on the lookout for his parents and for that, he looks after Chidambaram (makrand) the man who brought him up since he knows about the parents. The story takes a turn when Sameera (kangana) enters into his life and after some hide and seek, they fall in love. Johnny Bhai (sonu sood) is a dreaded don and he is on the lookout for Kailash (mukul) and his paths cross with Chotu due to a sequence of events. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.


Presentation:

The director has come up with a formula storyline and though the presentation was okay, the narrative was not upto the mark. The dialogues are good in places, the script was inconsistent and the screenplay was alright. Background score was good and songs were nice. Cinematography was standard. Editing could have been better, costumes and art department did their bit as required. Prabhas gave a good performance but he must be careful not to get repetitive with his body language and dialogues, Kangana looks sweet but she is not that good looking, make up was a defect, Sonu Sood was worth watching and he has given a good performance, the comedy track of Ali, Brahmanandam, Abhinayasri was dull, Sunil was brief, Venu Madhav was regular, Makrand was underutilized, Posani was eccentric, Tanikella was as usual. The others just came and went.


Conclusion:

The film is a typical Puri flavor and has multiple tracks running. However, there is not much voltage in it and there are no great scenes that really catch the chord with the audience. While the first half is light hearted with comedy, romance and some action, the second half goes about with the routine process and ends with an abrupt climax. Romance was weak, comedy was stale. The film doesn't have much for family audience and mass would relate to it. This will be an average grosser at the box office.

Ravi Teja's Anjaneyulu (2009) Movie Review by Greatndhra

Film: Anjaneyulu

Rating: 3.25/5

Banner: Parameswara Arts

Cast: Ravi Teja, Nayantara, Sonu Sood, Brahmanandam, Jeeva, Srinivas Reddy, Nasser, Vinaya, Dandapani, Tarzan, M S Narayana, Prakashraj, Raja Ravindra etc

Music: Thaman

Editor: Marthand K Venkatesh

Cinematography: Ravindra Babu

Story, Screenplay, Direction: Parasuram (Bujji)

Producer: Ganesh Babu

Release date: 12th Aug 2009

Having scored a blockbuster with ‘Kick’, crazy mass hero Ravi Teja has arrived with his new movie and given his hit combination with Nayantara, the expectations have been high. Whether it has met them or not, let us see

Story:

Anjaneyulu (Ravi) is a straight forward guy with a care a damn attitude. He works with a TV channel and one day he meets Anjali (Nayan). It is love at first sight for him, his life takes a turn when an unforeseen incident happens for his parents Krishnamurthy (Nasser), Lakshmi (Vinaya). How he deals with that issue forms rest of the story line.

As a part of his profession, Anjaneyulu changes his name as Pavan and enters as sleeping cell in the group of some anti social elements. There is a connection between his profession and personal life from then. The suspense is revealed in second half and real saga continues from then.

Performances:

Ravi Teja:
It is Ravi’s show all the way and his energetic performance keeps the tempo high. He has become versatile with his expressions and his emotions are quite good. The screen presence of Ravi Teja has been growing strong with each passing movie of his.

Nayantara:
She didn’t have much to do in this one but then there is not much of oomph show from her end, Nayan could have checked the hair stylist and the make up artistes, she looked quite dull in this one. Not much for her to do in terms of performance. Radio Mirchi Sowmya's dubbing for Nayantara is perfectly in sync and elevated the role.

Others:
Brahmanandam made his presence felt, Jeeva was neat, Srinivas Reddy was good, Jayaprakash Reddy was regular, Sonu Sood flaunted his muscles but not much scope to perform for him. M S Narayana provided few laughs, Nasser was elegant, Prakashraj was good, Raja Ravindra was normal, the others did their bit to contribute.

Technical departments:
The film has been presented decently but it is the narrative which kept things going. The dialogues were witty and sensible wherever required, script was written neatly, screenplay was apt. Two songs were good, background score was okay, cinematography was up to the standard. Editing was crisp. Costumes were alright but not good for Nayantara, art department was neat.

Highlights:

* Ravi Teja’s energy levels
* Comedy of Brahmanandam
* Pace of the film

Disappointments:

* Nayantara’s make up
* Item song on Kim Sharma with huge noises

Analysis:

The film has got nothing new to offer but one can see traces of Puri Jagannadh in it, though the formula is old, it was narrated keeping the audience engaged. The first half just whizzes past leaving no idle moment. The second half slows down due to the sentiment and melodrama angle and unwanted songs but overall, the film has got enough ingredients to take it to the success mark.

Puri’s influence is totally carried on Parasuram in this film. He has all energies to match the requirements of a star director. He proved with this film that he can handle big heroes, big budget, big comedy and big action. And there are influences of Shankar on his too, especially while dealing with some funeral scenes in second half.

After Kick, again Anjaneyulu has something for masses and action-comedy film lovers.

Bottom line: Can be watched

Sushanth's CURRENT (2009) Movie Review by Greatandhra

Film: Current

Rating: 2.75/5

Banner: Sri Nag Corporation

Cast: Sushanth, Sneha Ullal, Charanraj, Tanikella, Sudha, Geetha, Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, Shafi, Raghu Babu etc.

Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Cinematography: Vijay C Kumar

Editing: Marthand K Venkatesh

Fights: Kanal Kannan

Director: Surya Pratap

Producers: Chintalapudi Srinivasa Rao, Naga Suseela

Release date: 19th June 2009

Sushanth has come up with his new venture ‘Current’ and how much voltage he has been able to generate with the audience and also with Sneha Ullal, let us see.

Story

Sushanth (Sushanth) is a happy go lucky who believes in the present and does not care about the future. He falls in love at first sight with Sneha (Sneha) and from then on chases her. Sneha falls in love with him but her father (Charanraj) is not too confident about Sushanth given his carefree and irresponsible nature. Sushanth does not listen when Sneha tries to explain the same. So she asks Sushanth to take away the love that he has created in her heart. What happens from there forms the rest of the story. How he takes that away and what happens in climax forms the Current!!!!

Performances

Sushanth has improved in his dance and body language but he still needs to work on his expressions. Hardly he is able to give 4-5 expressions and he seems to be over conscious about his mouth. He should come out from that to give the best.

Sneha Ullal gave her glamorous presence and though she has those blank expressions at times, she still looks cute and sensuous.

Tanikella was ok in his role, Charanraj was underutilized, Vennela Kishore managed few laughs, Brahmanandam was abrupt, Reshmi looked a stunner and she has shown good potential, Raghu Babu was impressive, Shafi was alright and the others did not have much to contribute.

The dialogues were weak, the script was alright and the screenplay was acceptable. Background score was okay and two songs are worth taking home. Other tunes of Devi Sri Prasad seem to be taken from his old stock tunes. They are insipid and pale. Cinematography was up to standard and editing was crisp. The production values of the film were of high scale and the costumes and art department did a neat job.

Analysis

The film comes across with a concept on love but then it is the narrative that kind of got complicated in conveying it. Apparently, there is a lack of continuity in the scenes and though the second half had few moments of intensity, the feel has been missing.

Comedy could have worked really better had the makers focused a bit. Brahmanandam came with a good entry but his exit was unknown and dull. Raghu Babu and Shafi managed good comedy but that was not worked for long. Lack of strength in dialogues and not very high caliber music from Devi Sri also were some key elements. However, the youth audience will go through a roller coaster ride of emotions and if only the makers looked at working on pulling the chords like ‘Tholi Prema’ ‘Ullasanga Utsahanga’ then it would have been a runaway hit.

First half is dull and second half gripped some emotions but the run couldnt pull crowds on to screen.

The success of this film will run on publicity and fate and nothing else.

Review

Story

Kalyan (Ravi Teja) is a kind of guy who prefers a life full of thrills than leading a regular life style. He seeks kick in whatever he does. He finds liking in Naina (Ileana). They separate due to differences. Krishna (Shyam) is a young cop who is in lookout for a big ticket thief who happens to be Kalyan. Meanwhile, Naina agrees for an engagement with Krishna. The rest of the story is all about how Kalyan wins back his lady love and the real intent behind the robberies of Kalyan.

Artists Performance

Ravi Teja: Ravi Teja is known for entertainment and he made sure that he contributed a lot for this movie with his kind of antics. He also mimicked many actors like Amitabh Bachchan in an entertaining way. You can see lot of similarities between Ravi Teja’s character in this movie and Pawan Kalyan’s character in Jalsa.

Others: Ileana is looking fresh and pretty in this movie. Shyam is perfect as a sincere cop who is set out to nab the robber. Brahmanandam did another entertaining role of Halwa Raj. Jaya Prakash Reddy’s role of comedy cop is funny (especially tom n jerry kind of sequence in police station). Kota did the role of chief minister. Venu Madhav, Ali and Sayaji Shinde are adequate.


Technical departments

Story - screenplay - direction: The story of the movie is about a guy with abnormal life style doing something purposeful. Though the story of the movie is pretty serious, the director has chosen comedy as the way of expression. Hence, you find only 20% of the movie to be serious and remaining 80% is dedicated for humor. Surender Reddy whose strength lies in conceiving good action episodes concentrated more on comedy and ignored his strength of technical glossiness. This film is entertaining as long as you don’t mind the script and story. If you look from the script angle, the fifteen minutes before interval and the last 20 minutes make sense. The director must have chosen to treat this movie with humor aspect after seeing another mass director VV Vinayak coming out with flying colors with humor treatment of Krishna movie with Ravi Teja. The idea of ‘loser’ code word is good. This film has similarities to movies like Gentleman and Dhoom. And the director has shown a noble intent behind hero’s robberies unlike Dhoom film where hero does it for fun. However, the sophistication and technical orientation in heist episodes is missing. The robberies and chases in the movie are unexciting.



Other departments: Music by S Thaman is mediocre. Cinematography by Rasool is just okay, however there is not much lighting used for the scenes shot in Malaysia. Dialogues are adequate. But, the heroine utters curse words very often (she said naa kodaka for four times, nee yabba innumerable times). The postproduction of the movie lacks finesse.

Analysis: The movie starts off with an entertaining first half though there is not much of a story. The movie lacks pace in the second half and do appear prolonged at times. But a purposeful flashback and an entertaining climax makes up for it. The plus points of the film are Ravi Teja, Ileana and comedy. On the flip side, the runtime of the movie is excessive and the sophistication/finesse expected out of such big projects is missing. On a whole, Kick is like a poor man’s Dhoom stuffed with ample Ravi Teja kind of comedy. You may watch it for entertainment.

NENINTHE (2008) Movi Review : By Andhrastudio.com

Film- Neninthe

Star cast-

Ravi teja- Assistant Director
Siya- Group Dancer


Subba Raju- Hero
Kovai Sarala- Hair dresser of Siya
Brahmanadam- Director
VV Vinayak- Guest director
Sairam Shankar- President of Fans association
Krishna Bagawan- Heroine's Bava
Shiyaji Shinde- Producer in the film.
Mumaith Khan- Item Girl

Director- Poori Jagannath

Release Date- 18th December 2008
Music - Chakri


Poori has tried to put his struggle to become a director on celluloid where Ravi Teja played the Poori's real life role.


Most of the scenes for the film are taken from the experiences of Poori and Ravi teja.

Ravi Teja is a an MBA graduate and his dream is to become a top director. He starts his career as assistant director to Brahmanadam.

Sandhya is the group dancer. She falls in love with Ravi Teja who is assistant director. Supreeth, a goonda irritates Ravi and Siya but Ravi Teja whose dream is to become a director controls his anger. He focuses on his career.

Ravi encourages Siya to become heroine,. She becomes heroine. Ravi has to struggle a lot to reach his dream destination- the struggle is the story of the film.


Performances-

Ravi teja- Though the title Neninthe appears to be arrogant Ravi Teja, he played very soft character of assistant director who dreams to become a top director in the film industry.

Siya- Poori Jagannath has introduced another new girl Siya and she played a group dancer who falls in love with assiatnt director- glamour and skin show is more than performance.

Brahmanadam & Venu Madhav shares the screen to bring some reasonable laughs..

Poori Jagannath dealt with some undercurrent message in this movie. Poori Jagan says that no short cut for success and no substitute for hard work.


Poori Jagannath touched every one who are in touch with films with his style of satires., from hero to audiences . But he didn't make any satires on producer.

The Poori mark dialogues like'tuduchukunte pothundi anukunte nootiki 99 saarlu tuduchukapovadaaniki neni ready,alaa kaakundaa nene pothanu anukunte mundu nuvve pothavu ' get good applause from the audiences

It is good attempt from Poori to disclose everything about film industry. Common audiences are in the different thinking about film industry-they are under the impression that every one in the film industry are rich- Poori depicted the struggles and problems of the filmy people.

Poori has also touched the mindset of fans. He captured their innocence adulation towards their star heroes and how they suffer in the long period . He narrated how fans get spoiled in the process. He tried to show a solution to their problems


Poori has also attacked the websites those writing baseless rumors .He also lashed out at reviewers and the NRI crowds who read those reviews.

Finally, It is an altogether different film from Poori, we have to wait and see- How far the film does the business at the box office.

BRAHMANANDAM DRAMA COMPANY (BDC) REVIEW

Cast
Brahmanandham
Kamalinee Mukherji
Shivaji
Ravi Krishna
Raghu Babu
Ali
AVS
Dharamavarapu and others

Direction: Srikanth.I

Music: Sai Karthik

There are many directors, who could tickle the funny bones, with the movement of the story itself. They could script the screenplay and story in such a way that the scene itself brings smile on the face of audiences. They were able to reap good entertainment with heroes itself. Heroes like Venkatesh, Rajendra Prasad, Raviteja, Vishnu and the latest Ram, were able to give entertainment, despite showing heroism on the screen. There some other directors, who keep a comedy track, which has a link with the story and at times, without any link as well. But, keeping the entire comedians of Tollywood in his star cast, director I Srikanth failed to provide entertainment, though the subject was proved a hilarious comedy show in its original form (Bagham Bagh).

Plot
Anandam (Brahmanandam) has two heroes in his drama company Sivaji (Sivaji) and Ravi (Ravikrishna). An NRI contractor (AVS), who was fascinated with the beauty and dance of the heroine of the drama company (Sameeksha) books them to stage shows in Bangkok. Before they leave for the abroad trip, both the heroes misbehave with the heroine. This forces her to quit the job and leave the drama company just before they were about to board the flight. To make use of the abroad trip, the entire troupe boards the flight sans the heroine. They somehow manage the contractor that their heroine was busy with some modelling and will join them later. Then the heroes start search for a suitable face as heroine. In the process, Ravi was able to bring Arpitha (Kamalini Mukherjee), into their troupe. After giving performance in one show, she meets with an accident due to her mental disorder (suicide tendency). Later, she was taken away by one Mahendra (Raghu) who claimed to be her husband. Soon, the trio (Anandam, Sivaji and Ravi) gets implicated in abetment of suicide case. How they were able to come out of the case? What makes her to commit suicide? Did really Arpitha die? What made her to say that she is the wife of Mahendra? Why the gangsters were after the trio? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax.
Performance

It is Brahmanandam, who is a seasoned comedian, delivered good performance in the entire film. All the other artistes, who were also seasoned comedians could not evoke even a smile on the faces of the audiences, leave alone a big laugh. Moreover, good artistes like Sivaji and Sivajiraja too gave a very unimpressive performance. Ravikrishna kept a big blank face in the film. Neither he showed any feelings in his face nor had put up a good body language. Kamalini is the only saving grace in the film. However, she was also portrayed in a deglamorous character. However, she showed ease in a couple of dances which gave a little relief.
Technical Dept

Dialogues by Ramesh-Gopi are very unimpressive. Camera work by PS Babu is a big minus. Though a major part of the film was shot in Bangkok, he failed to grab the beautiful locales with his camera skills. Songs lack any foot-tapping dances and music by Sai Karthik is not at all melodious. Only a remix song, which has a mixture of first stanzas of popular songs evoked good response in the theatre. Screenplay and direction by I Srikanth are very disappointing. The director failed to run the film with a good tempo.

Conclusion

The audiences who go to the theatres with lots of expectations on the entertainment would face miserable disappointment in the absence of any scenes worth watching. The producers who took more than one and a half years to complete the film, were not in a position to release the film in the absence of any takers, possibly because of the unimpressive movement of the film. Somehow, they were rescued by some distributors who dared to release the film. It is very much doubtful whether any of the buyers would get back their money or not.On the whole there is nothing attractive in this film and the comedy element lacks the luster in it. This movie is surely not going to run for more than 2 weeks.

VISHAL'S SALUTE ON AUGUST 15TH

Vishal's latest venture SALUTE being directed by A.Rajasekhar and produced by Vikram Krishna is going to release on August 15th. Vishal is acting as ACP.Nayanatara pairs him. Film unit says that the movie is fully action packed one.The song picturised in Dubai and a chase in Dubai's airport will be highlights of the movie. Harris Jayraj composed the music for the movie. other cast includes Sudha Chandran, Brahmanandam , Ali, Tanikella Bharani etc.

Its MCDOWELL MURTHY everywhere

No doubt he is the number one comedian that telugu cinema has ever produced. For his filmography he occupied the guiness book also. Even for a moody man his face brings a smile on his face. He is none other than Dr. Brahmanandam.

He did many ever lasting characters like Khan Dada(Money) , Kathi Ramdass, Chari(Dhee) and so many.

Now he is MCDOWELL MURTHY. This character will be certaily remembered by audience for a long time. The expressions he has shown in the movie at ease are extra ordinary that he will prove that no other comedian can beat him. Especially in a scene when Ram says that he is the CREATOR, the expressions he puts are mind blowing. I experienced how telugu people loves him. From the first scene he enters every viewer laughs heartily.

Lets pray to god that the great comedian gets a good health and do many more memorable characters
