Shooting in Australia and Hyderabad - Nagababu

Nagababu said, "Bommarillu Bhaskar is one of very few directors who show love and human emotions in an effective manner. This movie is the third film for both Ram Charan Tej and Bhaskar. We are using 'Orange' as working title for this movie. But the title is not official yet. Ram Charan Teja doesn't want to be typecast as a mass hero after the stupendous success of Magadheera. Hence he choose a subject of different genre. At the same time there will be a bit of action elements in this movie. The shooting will start in November in Hyderabad. We will go to Australia to shoot in December and January. Rest of the movie will be shot in Hyderabad later."


It's a feel good movie - Bommarillu Bhaskar

Bhaskar said, "It is a big responsibility to direct Ram Charan Tej after Magadheera. I am confident of fulfilling my responsibility. I was not tensed after watching Magadheera film. I felt that I am safe. The script of this movie will project Ram Charan Tej in entirely different way. It will be a good entertainer and a feel-good movie.I got good technical team and a supportive producer in the form of Nagababu. I am looking for hat-trick for me and Ram Charan with this movie."


Fabulous script and a challenging role - Ram Charan Tej

Ramcharan Tej said, "We decided on this project after 40 days of shoot of Magadheera movie. I knew that Magadheera would be a mass entertainer and I didn't want to remain as mass hero. That was the reason why I was particular that Bhaskar should direct my third movie. I want to do films from all genres. It's a fabulous script and challenging role for me. I hope that I will justify the script. This film will have all popular entertainment. Kiran Reddy who did cinematography for Ram Gopal Varma's Naach is doing for this movie. I am extremely comfortable with Nagababu outside my family members and spending time with him relieves you of all the stress. I am happy to be working in Anjana Productions."


Harris Jayaraj composes music. Kiran Reddy handles camera, Anand Sai is the art director. Marthand Venkatesh edits the movie. Thota Prasad is the dialogue writer.

Jaganmohini (2009) Movie Review by Bharatstudent

Film: JAGANMOHINI

Rating: 1.5/5

Banner: Murali Cine Arts

Cast: Namitha, Raja, Vadivelu, Nila, Kota, Riyaz Khan, Jyothilakshmi, Bala Singh, Alex etc
Music: Ilayaraja

Cinematography: N K Vishwanathan

Director: N.K. Vishwanathan

Producer: Murali

Release Date: October 17, 2008


Story:

Set on the stage of mythology, the story begins with the announcement of engagement between prince Jagan Prathap (raja) with princess Jayanthi (meera chopra/nila) and when the entire kingdom is ready to rejoice, terror strikes in the form of a water cyclone that destroys the major part of the kingdom. That happens to be the water devil Jaganmohini (Namitha) which comes to seek revenge. However, the sorcerer (kota) manages to hold it through his spell and controls it. The flashback shows that Mohini (namitha) is from a fisherman's family and her island is visited by the prince sometime back and both fall in love. Just when everything looks set, the prince's father, the King, doesn't want a girl from a fisherman's family and so he sends his troops and kills Mohini. Now, she is out seeking revenge and also to have the prince for herself. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.


Presentation:

The director has come up with the remake theme but by no means is the narrative or the presentation good. The dialogues are sloppy, the script was pathetic and the screenplay was horrible. Even background score and songs were total crass and the only saving grace is the cinematography which was good at few places. Editing was amateur, costumes were alright but art department was not good. Raja looks dull as usual and he looks like a small boy in front of Namitha, she is all over the screen and it must be said that she is looking totally out of shape though she has oozed a lot of glamour and skin show. Meera Chopra was the saving grace with her beauty, Kota was standard, Riyaz Khan was regular, Alex was normal, Jyothilakshmi was brief, Bala Singh was plain, the others didn't have much to offer.


Conclusion:

The film happens to be the remake of the 1978 super hit movie which had Jayamalini in the title role and despite the hype created by the makers, the film was a major disaster. The content or style of presentation was poor and the graphics were utterly inferior. While the first half revolves around the revenge saga, the second half goes about with the love tale and how evil is warded off. Overall, the film has failed to appeal to the audience in any department. Though hardcore Namitha fans might like it a bit, her overbearing frame might just be too much to handle. This will sink big time at the box office.

EVV's Bendu Apparao RMP (2009) Movie Review by bharatstudent

Film: BENDU APPARAO RMP

Rating: 3.25/5

Banner: Suresh Productions

Cast: Allari Naresh, Kamna Jethmalani, Meghana, Ahuti Prasad, Uttej, Srinivas Reddy, Jeeva, Kondavalasa, AVS, Raghu Babu, Telangana Sakuntala, Subhashini, Dharmavarapu, L B Sriram, Suman Shetty

Music: Koti

Cinematography: C Jairam

Director: E V V Satyanarayana

Producer: D Ramanaidu

Release Date: October 16, 2009


Story:

A light hearted tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Bobbaralanka and here lives Bendu Apparao RMP (Naresh) who manipulates the sicknesses of people and earns money. However, his hand works well and the illness is cured. The story takes a turn when Apparao along with his friends (Uttej and Srinivas reddy) chance upon a dying man on the road. He reveals about the money he brought and pleads with Apparao to give it to his parents. Despite many efforts, Apparao fails to locate the dead man's family but given his kind heart, he builds a school in the village and at the same time, gives part of the money to both his friends and all three of them solve their problems. However, the real family lands in the village one day due to a government transfer and Apparao realizes this information soon. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.


Presentation:

The director has come up with a regular storyline but it was the narration that really stole the show. The presentation was alright. Dialogues were hilarious, script was good, screenplay was apt. Music was standard and songs were not that great. Cinematography was effective, editing was crisp, costumes were suitable and the art department was realistic. Allari Naresh came up with a good performance and he was energetic, Kamna looked fresh and sexy as usual, even Meghana was competent and though she was brief, her one song was sizzling, Ahuti Prasad came up with a rocker, he was excellent. Uttej, Srinivas Reddy, Kondavalasa, Jeeva, Raghu Babu, L B Sriram, Suman Shetty, Chalapathi Rao all did their bit and added value to the film. Ramanaidu was graceful. The others did their bit as required.


Conclusion:

The film is an outright comedy but then there is also a good bit of sentiment and melodrama in proportion. While the first half just goes breezily without any issues, it is the second half that lacks the speed and goes slow due to the melodrama angle. Overall, good pace has been maintained and it must be said that the doses of comedy are quite high. The village backdrop also gives a nostalgic feeling and it is a typical Telugu filled humor. This will go well at the B and C Centers while the urban centers will attract comedy loving and youth audience. The film will yield profits to the makers.


Bharatstudent Verdict: Time pass comedy entertainer, watch it once
