105 Minutes Movie Review

Rating: 2.25 / 5

Main Cast: Hansika Motwani

Director: Raja Dussa

105 Minutes Movie Review: Hansika, who once did many films as a glamorous heroine, is now showing interest in doing heroine-oriented, lady-oriented, and different concept films. As a part of that, she came before the audience on the occasion of this Republic Day with the movie 105 Minutes. It can be said as an experimental film as this film is made as a single shot film with a single character. Now let’s see in the review how much this experimental movie has pleased the audience.

105 Minutes Movie Story:

The whole movie revolves around the character of Janu (Hansika). There will be no other character except her. Janu goes out on some work and comes home. On entering the house, some invisible force is troubling her in various ways. For a while, she is chained to the pillar. She doesn’t really understand what is happening, she doesn’t know who did it but she hears some scary noises along with a voice that scares her and tempts her to do certain things.

She doesn’t know whose voice it is. After a lot of trouble, she breaks the chains from the pillar and escapes. But no matter how much she tries to avoid the chain, it will not come off her feet. In the middle of the male voice telling her that you are the cause of her death and that’s why she has to go through all this, she gets very scared. Can Janu get out of this situation? What did Janu do to get out of that situation? Who is that male voice? What happened in the end is the rest of the movie.

105 Minutes Movie Analysis:

In recent times all commercial films and routine dramas except for experimental films have become very less. After Mohan Babu’s Sannaf India movie, there were no such experimental films. Especially, it did not come with a star cast.

Making a film with a single shot, that too for two hours without a gap, is a big adventure. Hats off to the makers who came up with such an idea and to the heroine who accepted the story. Now. To make a film like this one needs courage as well as passion. But it is very difficult to make a movie like this convincing and engage the audience.

Raju Dussani, the director of the 105 Minutes movie, should be congratulated in that regard. The hardships he went through are seen in this movie but it seems that it has not fully succeeded in making the audience connect. An unknown force captures the heroine Hansika and frightens her.

It is not allowed to go out, it is not allowed to sit, it is not allowed to stand and it is not allowed to stay at home, in such situations, the film should be made engaging and the audience’s attention should not go away. If you watch the movie, you will understand that these makers have worked hard in that regard.

But as the BGM was well worked out, it was used to some extent in sustaining the suspense and fear in the audience. Heroine Hansika keeps crying throughout the movie? It’s boring. Much time in the movie she is shown trying to get out, but it seems that they could not show how to face properly. But the finish is good.

After all this, why is Hansika stuck in the house, what is the purpose of the power in the house? He did not say clearly what he wanted to say. It would have been better to give clarity and make a strong point in those matters, but that was missed.

Technical team, the camera work is the lifeblood of this film, and in that regard, Kishore B excelled as a cameraman. The whole movie takes place in a house. As it is a very high-risk experiment, there is no point in a single shot if there are other characters other than that character.

In the end, the 105-minute movie is a good effort amidst many challenges.

Skanda

Skanda Movie Review: This film is produced by Srinivasa Chitturi under the banner of Srinivasa Silver Screen. Thaman has provided the music. The already released posters, songs, teaser, and trailer are all very impressive. With this, the expectations of the movie have increased hugely… Moreover, this movie has been released in the Pan India range… And let’s find out in the review to what extent this movie, which came before the audience today, has impressed the audience.

Skanda Movie Story:

Ram’s father who lives in a small village in Rayalaseema has a good reputation in the town. He helps the people and fights for justice. Ram is also a similar character… and Sreeleela is a rich landlord’s daughter. A good active girl… These two are also attracted to each other and love each other. But it will be a crime for their loving families.

Ram’s father does not accept Sreeleela’s family… Sreeleela’s father does not accept Ram’s family. As the two families are enemies, they decide to keep their children apart. In this process, Ram will face unexpected consequences. He has to face many challenges and enemies … how Ram faced them … Whether he got Sreeleela’s love or not you have to watch the movie to know…

Skanda Movie Analysis:

The heroism of Boyapati Mark Maas is seen throughout the movie. Mass moments are impressive in a range. Also, there are plenty of things that will appeal to the family audience… Ram’s dialogues are especially pleasing. The first love track is fun and enjoyable with comedy scenes with the heroine. Also, the dance of Ram and Sreeleela is amazing… It can be said that the audience will come repeatedly just to see their dance. And if the interval is black, then it is sure to give birth to seconds…

Boyapati’s mass power is seen there… No need to talk about the background music… It can be said that the theaters are resounding with Taman’s music.

Boyapati directed the First Half with a love track and comedy and also showed family emotions in the second half… The second half is still good compared to the First Half. It can be said that Boyapati has given mass entertainment by adding mass elements and emotions to a simple story.

Skanda Movie Actors Performance:

Ram Pothineni’s dance and Sreeleela’s beauty can be said to be plus points for the movie Abhinayam. Hero and heroine pair .. and their performance is also pleasing. Also, Sai Manjrekar, Srikanth, Gauthami, Indraja, and Prince entertained with their performance… the rest tried to impress to the extent of the scope.

And when it comes to the technical matters of the director.. Boyapati entertains the audience with his mark action. He tried… Thaman’s music is also a highlight.. Santhosh Ditke’s cinematography and Tammiraju’s editing are also good. The film’s production values are entertaining. Overall, though it was shot by Boyapati-Ram combo, except for a few scenes here and there, it can be said that there are plenty of things that will impress the audience.

And after Ram ki Smart Shankar, that range has not been hit till now. It remains to be seen whether this movie will be a huge hit and Sreeleela is likely to continue as a top heroine in the industry for many years.

Mad

MAD Movie Review: The movie that comes to our mind as a college background story in Telugu is Happy Days directed by Shekhar Kammula. In this movie, Shekhar Kammula succeeded greatly by adding very nice emotions on what engineering college life is like to the audience. However, only a few of those films achieved success. Many movies flopped. Let’s find out what the status of Mad movie released by them in the same way…

MAD Movie Story:

Even if they are engineering college students, some students have a point of view that they should enjoy every moment in their life. Manoj (Ram Nitin), Ashok (Narne Nitin), and Damodar (Sangeet Shobhan) are three of them who are facing every situation in college. They adapt to them and enjoy their college life to the fullest. In this movie, the director tries to tell the story of the relationship between them in a very good way in the form of comedy.

MAD Movie Analysis:

Although all the actresses and actors who acted in this movie are newcomers, they have given a very grand entry into the industry as actors, acting very well. Kalyan Shankar, the director of this movie, touched some point in every scene and took the movie forward by handling the emotions of the audience well. He has largely succeeded in showing us what engineering students are like. Among the artists, Sangeet Shobhan, Vishnu who acted as a comedian, and some other artists also took this movie forward without being boring…

But there are some adult dialogues in this movie which we were shown in the trailer itself, so we were told beforehand that this movie is going to have adult dialogues. So, the audience who is going to watch the movie will understand it in advance and will be ready to watch the movie. So, the director prepares them before the audience by telling them that the movie is going to be like this and the director asks them to sit in the theater.

But the special care taken by the director of the film is that he has written dialogues targeting the youth, but it must be said that this film will be liked by all age groups apart from students…especially students will connect well. Also, the way the director has shown the batch of students is good. It should be said that Ram Nithin and Narne Nithin, who played the key roles in this movie, have given very good performances in terms of acting.

Although this was their debut movie for both of them, they showed their level of acting without hesitation. They have entered into those characters and acted in such a way that everyone thinks that students are like this… In this movie, either in a scene where the students talk about the greatness of the students, or in a scene where the hero proposes to the heroine, everyone is very connected and whistles and claps…

The plus point in this movie is Kalyan Shankar’s direction. He is very clear about the extent of the scene taken by him and how to convert it to the audience. Bheem’s music could be more impressive in terms of songs, but the background score is very good. Also, the cinematography is amazing, and the way each shot is shown in the camera is amazing.

Two cinematographers Dinesh Krishnan and Shyam Dutt worked on this movie.

The editor Naveen Nooli also did his work very well and tried his best to give the movie the best output…Also, the production values of this movie are amazing…and the minus point in this movie is that the story routine is like a youth full entertainer…

Finally, those who love youth films and also accept adult dialogues can watch this film and enjoy it.

And our rating for this movie is 2.5

Rules Ranjan

Rules Ranjan Movie Review: Kiran Abbavaram has been waiting for a hit for a long time. Even though he is doing consecutive films, he did not get a proper hit. But his efforts did not stop. In this sequence, his latest movie is Rules Ranjan. As Neha Shetty also acted in it and the songs were very impressive, the expectations of the film increased. The trailer is also very impressive. This movie directed by Rathinam Krishna has hit the theaters today. Now let’s see how the movie is.

Rules Ranjan Movie Story:

Mano Ranjan (Kiran Abbavaram) lives as a software in Hyderabad. He lives very strictly with the intention of growing in life. Suddenly he gets transferred to Mumbai. Vennala Kishore, a casting director for Bollywood, is there in the room. There he meets his childhood friend Sana (Neha Shetty).

He breaks the rules and goes to pubs for her. He loves her gently. But the story takes a turn when she comes to know that the marriage is already fixed. Finally, what Mano Ranjan did, what kind of difficulties he faced, and finally, how he got married is the rest of the story.

Rules Ranjan Movie Actors Performance:

Kiran Abbavaram’s role as a strict engineer in Rules Ranjan seems to be okay. But in some scenes, his performance is not up to the character. Feels a bit over-excited. And Neha Shetty did not impress much in the role of Sana. Her role does not have much scope. The highlight of the movie is Vennela Kishore’s role. It is because of his role that comedy is added to the film. The rest of the cast played their roles well.

Rules Ranjan Movie Technical Performance:

The director has written a very routine story. There have been many stories about the troubles of boys falling in love with a girl whose marriage is fixed. But what matters is whether there are any new scenes in the story. There is no such thing in Rules Ranjan. The first half starts very slowly.

Vennela Kishore’s character comes and saves her when she gets bored. The whole first half goes something like that with comedy. But it must be said that the second half made the difference. Like the first part, the film would have been a hit track if it had been directed with comedy as the main theme.

Apart from that, it was boring with routine scenes. Even though there is no need in the middle, emotions are stuck and boring. In the second half, Hyper Adi, Viva Harsha, and Vennela Kishore are the mainstays of the movie. Apart from that, the story lacks much strength. Only one of Amrish’s songs is impressive. BGM is fine. Duleep Kumar’s MS editing has hit hard. The lag in the movie is very high.

Plus Points:

Comedy

Impressive scenes here and there

Minus Points:

A story without strength

Scenes with lag

Second half

Finally…

Kiran Abbavaram, who came with a routine story, has inserted comedy and emotional scenes. The comedy in it is impressive only here and there. The second half made the whole movie boring.

Movie Rating: 2/5

Captain Miller

Captain Miller Movie Review

Rating: 2.5 / 5

MAIN CAST: Dhanush, Priyanka Mohan, Nivedhitha Sathish, Shiva Rajkumar

DIRECTOR: Arun Matheswaran

MUSIC: G. V. Prakash Kumar

PRODUCER: Sendhil Thiyagarajan, Arjun Thyagarajan

Captain Miller is a film directed by Arun Madeswaran, who is known as a valiant director there, starring Dhanush, who continues to be a star hero in Tamil. Ever since the announcement of this movie, the interest of the audience has been slowly increasing. Our hero Sandeep Kishan from Telugu and the star hero Shiva Rajkumar from Kannada also played key roles in this movie.

Released in Tamil Nadu on the occasion of Sankranthi, this movie not only became a big hit there but also fetched good collections. After two weeks, this movie was dubbed in Telugu and released. After the release of the trailer in Telugu, the Telugu audience also got interested in this movie. Now let’s see how this movie is in the review

Captain Miller Movie Story:

During the 1930s, this film was brought to the audience as a periodical story. Agniswar (Dhanush) lives with his mother in Tanda under the Raju Sansthanam, a locality under British rule. He thinks that if he joins the army of the white people, he will get that respect because his race is not properly respected in the village. He goes against the words of his elder brother Shivayya (Shivaraj Kumar) who is fighting for the freedom of the country and joins the army.

On the first day of joining the army, he kills the superior officer and goes into hiding to kill his own villagers. Why does he become a thief after helping a band of thieves? How did the original fireman become Captain Miller? Why did the king of their kingdom steal the statue that has been guarded for generations? Why did Miller have to kill the governor’s son? How did his fellow soldier Rafi (Sandeep Kishan) help him in this process? If you want to know such things, you have to watch the movie.

Captain Miller Movie Analysis:

For those who follow Tamil films, it is clear that Arun Madeswaran has a separate image. His specialty is to show hard-hitting stories with a range of violence and tell them like breaking a pot. This Captain Miller also filmed in such a category. From the beginning of the film, it took a long time to get into the actual story. The first half was all about establishing Dhanush’s character.

But the real story does not start until the interval. In a sense, he seemed to take too long to introduce the characters. In the first off, he introduced all the characters and gave clarity on how their characters are going to be. After Dhanush escapes from the army, he joins hands with a gang of robbers and then commits many robberies with them, but the story, which was slow until then, picks up speed from there.

The interest in the movie increases with the scene where Dhanush chases the convoy of white nobles to steal. The movie seems to move very fast after completing that heist. Especially the shooting scenes between Captain Miller’s team and the White House Army are very interesting. But compared to Arun’s previous films, the violence seems to be less.

But in recent times, an argument has come to the fore that the stories of those who have been oppressed are mostly being told in Tamil. But after watching this movie, it seems that they have tried to discover how much grief those who were killed must have experienced. Not only that but usually an idea comes from time to time.

Our Indian Sepoys also worked in the British Army, and many may have an idea why they worked for the British who are envious of the Indians. But if you watch this movie and see the dialogues spoken by Dhanush’s character, Arun Madeswaran has written the screenplay along with the story so that it seems that there is nothing wrong with doing that.

Especially the action sequence has been written thrillingly. The movie is not amazing but it is interesting. But the chances of it connecting with the Telugu audience are very low. Because there is no record of any of the films that have been suppressed like this becoming hits in Telugu in the past.

In addition to that, they were very careful about adding Telugu subtitles. A better technical team should have been appointed while releasing in Telugu. As the subtitles are also badly misplaced, it is doubtful whether the Telugu release was taken so lightly.

Captain Miller Movie Performance:

Dhanush has done similar roles in the past. Here he changed his look and tried to impress with things like beard and mustache. Priyanka Arul Mohan tried to do justice to the role of Bhanumati but somehow I felt that someone else would have been better in her place. Sandeep Kishan’s role in the role of Rafi is short but he seems to be able to connect with the Telugu audience.

As always, Siva Rajkumar, who appeared in the role of Shivayya, acted in a role that made audiences of all languages feel like he was there for a while. Nivedita Sathish is a bit new to Telugu but she got an action-packed role. Actors like Jayaprakash and John Kokken tried to impress by acting to the extent of their roles. In the end, it seemed to give a lead to the second part but it remains to be seen how much it will be used.

When it comes to the technical team, Jeevi Prakash Kumar’s songs are not very memorable but his background score is a box-office hit. It seemed that a lot of care was taken in the cinematography. Since the film is all periodical, they tried to use the color tones of that time. Build values are good.

Finally, Captain Miller is an out-and-out action entertainer. Those who like action movies will like it. It is impossible to say how much it will connect with Telugu people.

Fighter

Fighter Movie Review

Rating : 3 / 5

MAIN CAST: Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone

DIRECTOR: Siddharth Anand

MUSIC: Vishal–Shekhar, Shekhar Ravjiani, Vishal Dadlani, Sanchit Balhara

PRODUCER: Siddharth Anand, Jyoti Deshpande, Ramon Chibb, Ajit Andhare, Anku Pande, Kevin Vaz, Mamta Bhatia

Siddharth Anand’s Fighter Movie Review: Hrithik Roshan’s latest movie Fighter stars as an Indian Air Force fighter jet pilot. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film stars Hrithik Roshan as Shamsher Pathania alias Patty. Deepika Padukone played the heroine opposite him. In the backdrop of the Pulwama attack in 2019, this film has created interest among all.

Apart from that, the trailer cut of this movie also raised more expectations. Moreover, Siddharth Anand, who directed War and Patan, has directed this film, so the expectations have doubled. One day before India’s 75th Republic Day, ie on January 25, Fighter was released. The fighter movie was released in 3D IMAX format. Now let’s see how the movie is in the review.

Fighter Movie Story:

Shamsher Pathania alias Patty (Hrithik Roshan) is an Air India fighter pilot. All the best fighter pilots in the country are summoned for a special posting at the Air Force Station in Srinagar. A special unit called Air Dragon is prepared. In it, Minni alias Meenal Rathore (Deepika Padukone) who is in her rank will be introduced.

On the other hand, a terrorist organization called Jaish will carry out a massive attack on CRPF jawans in the Pulwama area in India. To take revenge, the Indian Air Force destroys the training camps of the terrorist organization in Balakot, Pakistan, killing hundreds of militants. But in the later developments, a Sukhoi fighter plane accidentally crashed in Pakistan and the two pilots in it had to land in the park territory with the help of parachutes.

What did the Indian Air Force do to protect them? Why couldn’t they save their immediate party? Why was he sent to Hyderabad after that? At last, they were saved and brought to India or not? If you want to know about these things, you have to watch the movie.

Fighter Movie Analysis:

After seeing Siddharth Anand’s previous movies War and Pathan, there is a kind of expectation about this movie too… Besides, it is interesting that Hrithik Roshan is doing a movie like this after a long time and Deepika is acting opposite him. With Anil Kapoor, Vinay Varma, and Ashutosh Rana in other key roles, all movie lovers in general are interested in this movie.

Siddharth Anand directed this movie to increase that interest. In fact, there is an illusion that if films are made against Pakistan in India, they will play. But many filmmakers forget that if there is no content in the film, no one can do anything and they fail in front of the audience. But with a big star like Hrithik Roshan, Siddharth Anand directed a good patriotic commercial film.

Especially since the Indian Air Force is taken as the background, there are some doubts from the beginning about how this movie will be handled. But the director has played a game with amazing visuals dispelling those suspicions. The way human emotions are touched in this movie is good. In fact, when it comes to the plot of the movie, there is nothing new to say about it. The director has succeeded in bringing the routine story interestingly to the audience.

Like many movies that have already come out in Hindi, it was opened with the concept of how every Indian took revenge on Pakistan, which is considered as an enemy. While showing things like Pulwama Attacks and Balakot Air Strike, on the other hand, it seems that the movie has been dramatized by linking the matter of Abhinandan Vardhaman.

The plus point of the movie is the visuals which do not let you turn your eyes while watching the movie. But the screenplay feels awkward as it seems stretched. Some of the dialogues may seem over the top but will delight the Indian in us. The stunts performed by the Sukhoi fighter jets are amazing. Hats off to the director, action directors, and VFX artists in this regard.

Fighter Movie Actors:

Hrithik Roshan seems to be a one-man show as always. They have picturized it to make it seem like Manodu is just walking around doing nothing. Anil Kapoor’s experience was seen in many scenes. Vinay Varma, a Telugu actor, also acted impressively. Deepika Padukone also got the scope to act as an Air Force officer instead of a glamor role. And all the other actors have acted to the extent of their roles and impressed.

But the main villain, who appeared in the role of a terrorist, seemed strange for some reason, his performance was also so-so. Sachit Poulos’ cinematography is supreme when it comes to fighter technical aspects. Editor Arif Shaikh has given the film a pacey rhythm. Dance has little scope and it would be foolish to expect it. Siddharth Anand proved himself once again.

Finally: Fighter is an out-and-out commercial movie.

Salaar

Salaar Movie Review

Rating: 2.5/5

Starring: Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Ishwari Rao, Jagapathi Babu, Shriya Reddy, Bobby Simha, Ramachandra Raju, Maim Gopi, Jhansi, Tinu Anand and others.

Cinematography: Bhuvana Gowda

Music: Ravi Basrur

Producer: Vijay Kiragandur

Story, Narration, Direction: Prashant Neel

Release Date: December 22, 2023

Salaar part 1 ceasefire movie review: Expectations on Prabhas increased with ‘Baahubali’. However, that level of success did not come. Prabhas’ film with Prashanth Neel, the director of Kejief, is expected to be a good action film, and the fans are hoping that another hit will be confirmed for the rebel star. And how was the movie?

Salaar Movie Story:

Adya (Shruti Haasan) comes to India without knowing her father. As she is threatened by Khansar’s men, she calls Bilal (Maim Gopi) for protection. Following the instructions of Deva (Prabhas)… he carefully takes Adya to a remote village in Assam, to him.

While Deva works in the coal mines… his mother (Eswari Rao) teaches children in the village. If you see a plastic knife in your son’s hand, you will be very worried. Why does she behave like that? What happened seven years ago? After Khansar Karta (ie king) Raja Mannar (Jagapathi Babu) in a war between some who had an eye on his chair… What did Deva do who stood by his childhood friend Varadaraja Mannar (Prithviraj Sukumaran), the son of Raja Mannar’s second wife? is a movie.

Salaar Movie Analysis:

‘KGF’ is what the audience remembers first… heroism rather than story! Elevations given by Prashant Neel to Hero! They were liked by the masses. That heroism is also the reason for the collection of hundreds of crores! But… ‘KGF’ has a good story underlying it, especially the love of a younger mother. Coming to ‘Salar‘… that heroism was not missed. But, the story could be a lot better.

What is in ‘Salar’? If you see that… ‘Heroism! Hero Elevations! That’s it’ can be said briefly and without thinking. Why should I say that… Prashant Neel did not lack for Prabha’s cut & personality. Mass moments of fans whistling were given in full. But, disappointed in story & narration. Amid huge action scenes and elevations, the story becomes short.

Did you change ‘Ugram’ to ‘Salaar’? Or is this a new story? Apart from that… ‘Kejiuf’ was seen by all language audiences more than ‘Ugram’. If you watch the second half of ‘Salaar’, you will see a lot of similarities between ‘Kejiuf’ and this movie. Even though the characters are new… there are many similarities in the story and stories.

The girl who comes to India is finally safe. If you look at that calculation… the beginning and the end of the story are enough. But, the bloodshed shown in the middle did not put a real end to the violence. Hidden for the second part. Especially the war that the hero does not for himself, but for a friend! Let’s see how many people like it.

A father builds an impregnable fortress to prevent the outside world from coming in, the enemies keep an eye on the father’s position along with his sons, try their best, and someone who comes from outside destroys all of them. But… the climax twist separates the movie from ‘Kjieff’. Otherwise, it was like saying same to same.

Although there are no complaints about the first half of ‘Salar’… those elevations will entertain the fans and the audience. Why would a mother act like that for her son? Let’s settle that we will know later. After the interval, the action is again highlighted but not the story. Prashant Neel did not direct the emotions to connect. One gets the idea that shortening the length would be better. The songs are not up to expectations. Background music is ok. The camera work, editing, and production values are of the ‘KJ’ type.

Salaar Movie Actors Performance:

Cut out the content! Seeing the rebel star Prabhas in ‘Salaar’ reminds us of that word. Enough of that cutout, it’s been a long time since such content was posted. Heroism and those hero elevations were worked out as Prabhas was cut out. His image is believable. Prabhas acted as Avalis in action sequences. Those fights didn’t seem too hard to do. Prabhas looks good.

After Prabhas, Ishwari Rao and Prithviraj Sukumaran will be highlighted. Both of them were impressed with their performance. Ishwari Rao has shown well the pain and love of a mother for her younger child. Shruti Haasan’s role is limited. But, they looked sober. Maim Gopi, Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha, Shriya Reddy, Ramachandra Raju, John Vijay, Brahmaji, MS Chaudhary, Tinu Anand and others have acted to the extent of their roles.

The bottom line is: ‘Salaar’ has fewer action sequences and less heroism than Prabhas cut out. Fights that give goosebumps to fans are filmed by Prashant Neel. Prabhas & Action… That combination alone is pleasing in the movie. Go to the theaters with as few expectations as possible on the story. Otherwise, you will be disappointed. This is a movie that will be liked by Prabhas fans and the masses.

Dunki

Dunki Movie Review

Rating: 2.5/5

Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, Anil Grover and others.

Story, Lyrics: Abhijit Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, Kanika Dhillon

Cinematography: CK Muralidharan, Manush Nandan, Amit Roy, Kumar Pankaj

Background Music: Aman Pant

Vocals: Pritam

Producers: Gauri Khan, Rajkumar Hirani, Jyoti Deshpande

Directed by: Rajkumar Hirani

Release Date: December 18, 2023

Hindi movie Dunki review In Telugu: ‘Pathan’, ‘Jawaan’… In 2023, the Badshah of Bollywood, King Khan Shahrukh received two huge successes. Now they have come to the theaters with ‘Dunki’. The film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani of the ‘Munnabhai’ series, ‘3 Idiots’, ‘PK’ and ‘Sanju’ fame. Will ‘Dunki’ be Shah Rukh’s hat-trick hit in 2023? How was the movie?

Dunki Movie Story:

Hardi Singh Dhillon (Shah Rukh Khan) is a soldier. His is a Pathan coat. Laltoo comes looking for the person who saved his life. There comes Manu (Taapsee Pannu). She and two other friends try to go to London for a better life and to get out of the hardships in the village. For that, they will have difficulty in learning English.

But, visas do not come. Then the thief goes to London. How did Hardy, Manu, and others go to London? How many hardships did you face during the journey? What happened after going to London? What is the role of Sukhi Singh (Vicky Kaushal) in their lives? You have to watch the movie to know.

Dunki Movie Review:

Director Rajkumar Hirani has some fans in Telugu as well. He is a specialist in telling any story or scene with an entertaining twist. ‘3 Idiots’, ‘PK’ and ‘Sanju’ movies have been doing well in important cities of Telugu states because of his taking & direction. Even if ‘Dunki’ is not dubbed in Telugu… the reason why the Telugu audience showed interest is Rajkumar Hirani. People who entered the theaters of ‘Dunki’ with expectations of the director are bound to be a bit disappointed.

The story of ‘Dunki’ cannot be confined to a single genre. What difficulties do some people have in migrating through the barriers? It was shown very heartily. It is said that time is no barrier to pure love. There is also inherent patriotism and love for the motherland. However… Rajkumar Hirani’s direction style & humor is missed at every step. Discover something! Depth is missing in the emotional drama. Sounds like Ford’s Emotion.

Rajkumar Hirani’s name was a plus for the audience of ‘Dunki’ after Shah Rukh Khan… The expectations of the audience after going to the theaters were minus! The plight of English-speaking actors in visa interviews is laughable. Before that, Boman Irani English classes were not very impressive. Rajkumar Hirani has shown his mastery in comedy. The emotional drama is not very ripe.

What’s next? Rajkumar Hirani’s directorial style is missing in creating curiosity and making people watch the movie with interest. The point of crossing the border on the Dunki route is also not new. Salman Khan did ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ in Hindi. If not… that story is different, this story is different. Emotions are different! It can be said that it is the director’s style to bring back those who went abroad through ‘Dunki’ after 25 years. Apart from that, another twist was given in the ending. But, the climax was stretched.

The songs don’t matter. Pritam’s vocals are on point. Background music is just ok. The production values are astounding. Even though Shahrukh’s own production company Red Chillies is a partner… what is wrong with the VFX?

Dunki Movie Actors Performance:

After action movies like ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, it was a big adventure for Shah Rukh to come in front of the audience with an emotional drama like ‘Dunki’. King Khan kept aside the larger-than-life image of Hardy Singh’s character. Acted so that only the character can be seen. His comedy timing once again entertains. I can’t imagine anyone but him in emotional scenes.

Taapsee Pannu is okay as Manu. Being a Punjabi by nature, Gatra has captured that style of dressing well. But… Taapsee looks more like a modern woman than a Punjabi village girl. Vicky Kaushal played an emotional role. The audience coming out of ‘Dunki’ theaters will remember his character. Along with Boman Irani, the rest of the actors have done to the extent of their respective roles.

In conclusion: Shah Rukh Khan putting aside his image for the character, the film is commendable! Bollywood Badshah’s talent as an actor is once again impressive. Some of the scenes have the comedy expected from Rajkumar Hirani. But… the movie is not interesting from the beginning to the end. There is no full-fledged emotional drama and entertainment except for flashes in between. Shahrukh missed the hat trick… sorry!

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom Movie Review: A few statistics don’t hurt. Five years after the first film, DC’s third for 2023, the last of the year and the penultimate ever (in live action) of the cinematic universe before the rewrite by James Gunn. Historians would talk about the Lower Empire (the end of the empire) to illustrate the timing of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, in cinemas on 21 December 2023, directed by James Wan and distributed by Warner Bros.

The next versions of the character, whoever the director is – above all, whoever the protagonist is – will betray “other” points of view and angles. If you go beyond the pleasure of the hard and pure spectacle and try to read a little deeper, you can sense in the film, perhaps unintentionally, an aftertaste of a long goodbye. Jason Momoa actually still seems to be having a lot of fun.

The light-hearted and playful epic of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the controlled immaturity of the protagonist, overshadowed – when necessary – by the firmness and altruism of a true leader, suits him very much. As a rule, it is the character that must be tailored to the actor, not the other way around. Fortunately, this is also the case in this case. The rest of the cast, with many good returns, includes Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Dolph Lundgren. Once again, Arthur Curry – Aquaman is a man divided in half.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Movie Plot:

Life as King of Atlantis is hard work, says Aquaman. There is a whole component of politics, debates, and parliamentary procedures that he needed to take into account and which clash with the meaning of his life (and adventure). Yet, despite his exuberance that is unsuitable for an institutional figure, and his annoying tendency to lose his train of thought, falling asleep when he shouldn’t, Arthur is the perfect ruler for his beautiful kingdom. Precisely because he is a man divided in half. His home is the land and the sea.

The only one, in Atlantis, to be simultaneously a son of the above and the below. So he can act as an intermediary, the first step in building harmonious relationships. Atlantis disapproves of those upstairs, not without reason; of the earthlings, mostly garbage arrives at the bottom of the sea. The environment is a big concern for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Problems come with the Black Manta, or more simply Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).

He mourns his missing father, he has a score to settle with Aquaman. He ventures into the unexplored depths of the Arctic ice and here he finds an “alien” artifact. More than one, in fact, they all work perfectly despite their age. He also finds a black trident. By putting it back together, he acquires extraordinary strength. This, as long as you listen to the instructions of the demonic voice trapped in the trident. He has a plan and Manta is his instrument.

For the plan to work, without spoiling too much, Manta must recover orichalcum, a very precious raw material which, if used, creates enormous environmental damage. In fact, on the mainland, the climate goes crazy. Underwater, a plague epidemic breaks out. Aquaman, husband of Mera (Amber Heard) and father of Arthur Jr, lives simultaneously above and below sea level.

He owes a lot to both communities. Mera, his father-in-law Nereus (Dolph Lundgren), and his mother Atlanna (Nicole Kidman) are not enough allies for him. Even the conscientious scruples of Doctor Shin (Randall Park), Manta’s historic collaborator who disapproves of the boss’s plans, are not enough.

More help is needed. And that’s how Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom bring the unlikely couple together. Aquaman and Orm (Patrick Wilson), sworn enemies and half-brothers, the current and previous King of Atlantis – Orm still dreams of taking back the crown – must bury the war trident to save the world from the environmental apocalypse and rebuild their relationship. God, climate, and family.

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom Movie Analysis:

Finally, a comic book that deals with family never happens. Ironic considerations aside, it is not on the level of cinephile provocation that the merits and vices of the 15th chapter of the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) should be weighed. The film is undoubtedly a little derivative, but this doesn’t seem to worry James Wan too much. And if it is true that the “fatherhood for Aquaman” chapter is a hook thrown but not picked up – the child will still play a role in the final pyrotechnic – there is another family chronicle, the complicated relationship between Arthur and Orm, worthy of Attention.

Knife brothers, pretender to a throne too small for both of them, enemies/friends along the lines of the super couple Thor – Loki. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom winks at the competition, trusting in the juxtaposition of opposites: the balanced and rational charm of Patrick Wilson and the exuberant and vulgar physicality of Jason Momoa. It’s all about balance. After all, it is precisely the film that suggests it.

Balance between a lot of things: between above and below, between sea and land, between brothers. Between the legitimate aspirations of human progress and development and the needs of the ecosystem. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the first vulgarly environmentalist cinecomic, without ambiguity or subtlety to shade its elementary but shareable morality. Arthur and Orm are destined to prevail because they are not alone. One has the other to rely on, no matter how irritating and hopeless the situation may sometimes seem.

Manta, a seraphic and maniacal Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, suffers from an inconsolable loneliness. There is no one to distract him from the interference of the bad teachers, and the voices in his head. Around the protagonists, without making a shadow, are the trio of Amber Heard, Dolph Lundgren, and Nicole Kidman. Liquidated, the latter, to a handful of eloquent and charismatic gunslingers and it is not the best, but the protagonists are others and it must be accepted.

The protagonists are others, but for how much longer? The clock is ticking, only Joker is missing, and 2025 is approaching. And with 2025, the (who knows how much) gentle revolution brought about by James Gunn on the body and soul of the DC universe. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the perfect film for these transitional times.

He has a heart in tune with contemporaneity (environmentalist) and a rudimentary but satisfying sentimental palette. His is the limit of many films of the same genre: the difficulty in finding the balance between joyful and light-hearted entertainment and the possibility of raising the bar in reflections and narrative dynamics.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: conclusion and evaluation

Two things work about Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: James Wan’s good work on the liquid and plastic force of Atlantis. The brother-knife dynamic between Patrick Wilson and Jason Momoa, the latter in full control of the humor and action. Not a riot of originality and not always able to dose the popular soul with a greater degree of sophistication, of the DC films of 2023 it is nevertheless the most solid and the one capable of intercepting the public’s expectations most constructively.

Extra Ordinary Man movie review In Telugu: Vakkantham Vamsi contributed the story to hit movies like ‘Kick’, ‘Osaravelli’, ‘Evadu’, ‘Resu Gurram’, and ‘Temper’. He became a director with ‘Na Parama Surya, Na Illu India’. It did not achieve the expected success. But, Allu Arjun’s character got a good name. After that, he took a break and did ‘Extraordinary Man’. This is a film starring Nitin and Sri Leela. Rajasekhar played a key role in this. How is this movie?

Extra Ordinary Man Movie Story:

Abhi (Nithin) is a junior artist. Apart from his father, he does not care if anyone scolds or mocks him. The goal of life is to always come from the background to the front of the camera. During the drunk and drive check, the owner of a big company meets Likhita (Sri Leela).

She falls in love with solving problems. Abhi will be the CEO of the company. At that time, Father Somasekhar (Rao Ramesh) breaks his leg puts aside his hope of becoming an actor, and starts working. While everything is going on happily, an assistant director, whom he met while posing as a junior artist, comes.

Abhi comes to him saying that he has written a story based on the real incidents on the Andhra-Orissa border, in which he will act as the hero. He leaves his family, lover, and job. Takes training for a few days. If it is cut…the director will be ready to make a film with another hero, keeping Abhi aside. Not knowing what to do, the drug-taking hero gets into a fight with the younger brother of the real villain, Nero (Sudev Nair).

After that, he goes to their village as SS Sainath (Nitin). What happened after that? What did IG Vijay Chakraborty (Rajasekhar) do? Does Sainath alias Abhi’s family and girlfriend know that he is not shooting but acting as an essayist? Did Nero, Vijay Chakraborty, and the people of that area know that he was a junior artist? Or? What finally happened? is a movie.

Extra Ordinary Man Movie Analysis:

In Vakkantham Vamsi’s stories, the hero characterization is designed as something special. Even though the story is regular, the hero’s character & characterization make the scenes fresh. The reason why Kick and Temper clicked is because of those characterizations! Coming to ‘Extraordinary Man’… the hero’s habit is to give a superb performance in any situation. He does an extra in an ordinary scene. What did such a junior artist do if he went as an essay? It is an interesting & curiosity-creating topic.

Entertainment… Entertainment… Entertainment… ‘Extraordinary Man’ Start to End Vakkantham Vamsi concentrates only on comedy. In that order, the story was put aside. Actually, there is no relation between the tone with which the film starts and the tone with which it ends. Comedy scenes in between will entertain the masses.

Surprisingly, a hero with a clean image like Nitin occasionally works out a bit of double-meaning fun. Vakkantham Vamsi provided remarkable entertainment in the first half regardless of the story… After the interval, it went into a more routine format and there were boring moments amidst the fun. The characterization didn’t click there.

One of Harris Jayaraj’s songs is ‘Danger Pilla’. ‘Ole Ole Papai’ mass beat B, C center can impress the audience. Background music is just ok. Three cinematographers worked on the film. The camera work is ok. There are many scenes where the editor has to work with the scissors. If cut to half an hour, the film would have run a little in commercial format. The production values are good. Nitin’s father and elder sister being producers, there was no compromise on the cost.

Extra Ordinary Man Movie Actors Performance:

Couldn’t anyone but Nitin have played the role of the junior artiste!? There are no scenes where he challenges as an actor. He did a few scenes aside from being a hero. He imitated his mannerisms in front of Rajasekhar. They danced to a song like ‘Na Petty Taalam’. They did whatever the character & director demanded. Two shades were shown before the interval, one after the other.

Rajasekhar’s special appearance is good. His character was introduced as powerful. But, not at that level after that. Every time Rajasekhar appeared on screen, it was a fun workout. If a sequel is made, his role will be highlighted.

Sri Leela’s character seems to be more for the guest… less for the heroine’s role! Limited to just two or three scenes and songs. The scenes between Nitin and Rao Ramesh are laughable. Rao Ramesh also impresses with typical mannerisms. Rohini is seen as a regular mother who shows love to her son. Sudev Nair is the typical villain role. His acting could be more set. Overdone. And… Brahmaji, ‘Hyper’ Adi, Sivannarayana, Srikanth Iyengar, and Ravi Varma have acted according to the scope of their roles.

In conclusion: Logics, magics, and story aside… ‘Extraordinary Man’ is a fun and funny movie. If you watch it just for comedy… it laughs in parts. Don’t expect more than that. It is a comedy film targeting the mass audience only. Just for extra fun!
