Pusthakam lo Konni Pagelu Missing Movie Review

Sajid Khureshi has directed the film ‘Pustakam Lo Konni Pagelu Missing’. The film is a remake of the Tamil hit ‘Nadavula Konjem Pakkath Kanum’ and Sohail Ansari has produced the Telugu version. The movie has released here today. Sri and Supraja are the main leads in this film and Gunwanth scored the music. Let us check out the film now.

Story :

Vijay Kumar (Sri), Siva, Saleem and Balaji are good friends. Vijay happens to meet Sandhya (Supraja) and he falls in love with her. After a brief resistance, the parents of Vijay and Sandhya accept their love and agree to get them married.

Just a day before the wedding, Vijay gets injured while playing cricket. He takes a blow on his head and ends up with temporary memory loss. He loses all memory of events that happened in the last one year.

As the wedding hour approaches, Vijay’s friends do everything and anything possible to bring back his memory. Will they succeed?

Will Vijay marry the girl he loves? That is the story of ‘Pusthakam lo Konni Pagelu Missing’.

Plus Points :

The film’s story line and treatment are big assets. Sri is ok in the role of a person who experiences temporary memory loss. Though Supraja has a small role in the film, she has done a good job. Hyderabadi actor Masth Ali manages to entertain with his funny Telugu.

Raghu Babu is funny in the role of a doctor. The cricket match episode in the first half and a few songs are entertaining.

The reception scenes in the second half of the film are funny.

Minus Points :

After a while, some scenes become very boring. Sri needs to work on his comedy timing and expressions.

The film’s appeal will be limited to a niche segment. Commercial elements that can entertain crowds in B and C centers are missing.

The romantic track between the hero and heroine should have been better. There is no chemistry between the pair. Some of the dialogues keep getting repeated throughout the film and they sound monotonous after a while.

This kind of a story is better suited for Tamil viewers. Telugu viewers may not appreciate this kind of a niche film.

Technical Aspects :

Martin Joe’s cinematography is good. Gunwanth’s background score is good and his work helps the film significantly. The editors should have chopped off certain sections in the second half to speed up things.

Sajid Khureshi has made some changes to the original script in order to adapt it for Telugu. He has succeeded in some areas.

Verdict :

‘Pusthakam lo Konni Pagelu Missing’ falls just short. Its appeal at the Box Office will be quite limited. It might cater to people who like to watch unconventional films. Some boring moments and the absence of strong performers in the cast work against the film.

Movie Rating..........2/5

Prince Romance Movie Review

The film ‘Romance’ has released today across the state. Directed by Darling Swamy and produced by Good Cinema Group, the movie has been endorsed by Maruthi. The A rated flick has come in with good expectations,so let us see if the film has what it takes.

Story :

Krishna (Prince) is an engineering student. He is always on the lookout for the perfect girlfriend, preferably a virgin. He does not believe in pre-marital sex etc and he expects the same from his prospective girlfriends.

Lalitha aka Lola (Manasa) is the first woman to come into his life. She comes across as an aggressive young woman. Lola likes Krishna’s frankness and the two of them start dating each other. However, Krishna discovers that Lola is way too aggressive for him and breaks up with her.

At this point of time, Anuradha (Dimple) makes an entry into the story. She comes across as a nice and traditional girl and Krishna instantly falls in love. Anu also responds and just as their love story is about to take off, Lola comes back into his life to create problems. She creates rifts between Krishna and Anu.

Krishna must now prove his innocence. What happens next? That is the story of this film.

Plus Points :

The best moment in the film is that of Mukesh’s cigarette and gutka warning clipping, which comes in when the hero tries to smoke for the first time. Apart from that, Sai manages to induce some humour as Bluetooth Bobby.

Prince is ok, but he needs to work on his expressions. Dimple looks good. Manasa is strictly average. The film may appeal to some people who love extremely vulgar dialogues.

The interval twist, where a secret about Lalitha is revealed, is nice.

Minus Points :

The film suffers from poor pace. ‘Ee Rojullo’ and ‘Bus Stop’ worked primarily because of the good pace and high entertainment quotient. Sadly, both are missing in this film.

The plot of this film is very stale and the narration is poor. The film has many cliched and outdated sequences. As in many ‘adult’ comedies that have been coming out recently, the sole aim of the film is to create a scene for Boys vs Girls superiority debate.

The mimicry scene where the actor tries to imitate Chandra Babu Naidu, V. Hanumantha Rao and KCR did not work well. In a similar way, the scenes where the girls danced to old songs like ‘Raguluthondhi Mogalipodha’ etc. failed to click.

The scene in the ladies hostel where the hero turns emotional is very superficial. Climax sequence could have been better.

Technical Aspects:

Cinematography is just average. Editing is not very smooth but this could be due to the huge number of censor cuts that were recommended by the board.Dialogues by Darling Swamy are not very effective. One gets the feeling that he just tried to blindly imitate Maruthi.

Swamy also fails to make a positive impression as a director. He needs to work on his narration techniques. Music and background score are just very average.

Verdict :

‘Romance’ comes across as an attempt to blindly replicate the success of A rated entertainers like ‘Bus Stop’ and ‘Ee Rojullo’. But this movie does not come close to those two films in terms of entertainment quotient or pace. ‘Romance’ may earn some money in B and C centers due to the double meaning dialogues and vulgarity, but it ends up being a big disappointment.

Movie Rating.......2.5/5

Abbai Class Ammai Mass Movie Review

Varun Sandesh has been going through a very lean patch for the past two years. He is testing his luck with yet another flick, Abbai Class Ammai Mass. Starring Hari Priya, Srinvas Reddy and Kasi Vishwanath , this film has hit the screens today. Lets see how it is.

Story:-

Sri(Varun Sandeh) is brought up by his grandmother (Sri Lakshmi) after the death of his parents. Sri’s grandmother is very protective and she keeps him away from beautiful girls. As a result, Sri is very uncomfortable near women. One fine day, a young and rich girl named Anjali comes up to Sri and proposes to him. Sri blindly refuses.

At about the same time, Sri’s company lands itself in a big financial mess. Taking advantage of this situation, Anjali’s father KK(Ahuti Prasad) offers to rescue Sri’s company if he agrees to marry Anjali. With no other option in hand, Sri agrees to the proposal.

As the marriage date draws near, Sri decides to shake off his inhibitions about women. He meets a prostitute called Neeru (Haripriya) and makes a deal with her. He brings her home in order to spend time with her. Once Neeru enters Sri’s life, things change considerably. We also see the appearance of Das (Kasi Vishwanadh) as a guy who keeps trying to kill Neeru.

Why is Das after Neeru? How is Sri’s life affected? Whom will Sri marry? That forms the story of this film.

Plus Points:-

Haripriya is a major asset for the movie. She looks quite convincing in the role of a prostitute. She oozes glamour and her ample skin show will work with the masses. Her performance in the emotional climax block is good. Varun Sandesh is just about ok.

Srinivas Reddy brings in a few laughs as Rushi Kesu. ‘Manasulona’ song, which was shot in Goa, has been captured quite well. Kausha’s item song will please the front benches.

Minus Points:-

This film is loosely based on the Hollywood flick ‘Pretty Woman’, but the director failed to adapt it convincingly. Kasi Vishwanath’s track is directly copied from Hindi film ‘Kahaani’. Major portions of the film have been inspired from quite a few Telugu movies.

Pace of the movie is quite slow and takes for ever to finish. Lot of scenes in the movie have no logic. A different voice has been used in some scenes to dub for Varun Sandesh’s character, which is quite irritating.

Comedians like Ali, Dhanraj and Vennela kishore have been wasted in the film.

Climax is abrupt and causes dissatisfaction among the viewers.

Technical Aspects:-

Camera work in the film is pretty good as all the songs have been shot well. Shekhar Chandra’s music is good and so is his background score. Editing is quite poor as man scenes could have been easily chopped off.

Koneti Sreenu’s direction is very ordinary. He could not mould the story in a convincing way. Production values are decent for a film of this budget.

Verdict:-

Haripriya’s glamour and skin show might work to a certain extent with the masses. A weak story, weak screenplay and poor direction go against the film completely. On the whole, ‘Abbai Class Ammai Mass’ ends up as a damp squib.

Movie Rating........2/5

Nasha Movie Review - Poonam Skin Show

Amit Saxena, who earlier helmed Jism is back with another exotic thriller in Nasha. Starring the controversial queen Poonam Pandey, the posters and trailers of the film have created a lot of buzz. Let’s see how the film is.

Story :

Nasha is story of an 18 year old boy Sahil (Shivam) who studies in Panchgani and falls in love with his 25 year old art teacher Ankita (Poonam Pandey).

The young boy falls deep in love with her and even ends up in a physical relation with her.

However, his dream crushes when Ankita’s long time boyfriend Sameul comes to meet her. Sahil envies Sameul and his closeness with Ankita.

One fine day, Ankita comes to know the real intentions of Sameul which forces her to break up their five year long affair.

Now will Sahil be able to tell Ankita his feelings for her or will the age difference between them stand as an obstacle? The answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Positive Points :

Amit Saxena, who wore the director’s hat with Bipasha Basu and John Abraham starrer Jism very cleverly chooses the cast of the film.

The popular model Poonam Pandey who has successfully created her own male fan base with her stripping controversies and bold Twitter pictures will definitely get the movie a decent crowd with her popularity.

Speaking of performances, Poonam is quite confident in front of the camera, even when she is doing an intimate sequence. The movie doesn’t seem like her debut film. Shivam too supports the actress in the intimate sequences pertinently. The characters that play Shivam’s friends have played their parts well.

Apart from all the bold scenes included in the film, the director explains a passionate love story between an 18-year-old boy and a 25-year-old girl. The story speaks aptly about the mindset of an 18-year old.

Negative Points :

As seen in the trailers itself, the movie is definitely not a family film. The content is too bold for normal crowds.

The director tries to tell a love story but all that the audiences can see is pure intimacy. Amit tries a concept that is not tested in the industry before but fails miserably.

The movie portrays the youth of today who are more towards physical intimacy rather than true love.

Even though Poonam looks confident, her acting is not upto the mark. All she is good at is showing off her body and seducing.

The guy playing Poonam’s long time boyfriend is not convincing and it looks like he is forced to speak the lines. Even though Shivam looks innocent it is lost somewhere in the movie.

Technical Aspects :

The direction by Amit is upto the mark. He does what he can do best with the execution and storytelling.

The performance however lacks substance. The songs of the film go in contrast to the film’s theme. The tracks composed by Sangeet and Siddharth are romantic and soothing, specially the romantic number Tera Nasha which comes as a surprise and fits well in the screenplay.

The cinematography is just about OK, while the screenplay and storytelling could have been a bit better. The first half is all about bold songs and sequences, while the second half tells a story, but could have easily been a little shorter.

Verdict :

On the whole, Nasha is for those who love chessy skin show. If you are a hard-core Poonam Pandey fan and rigorously follow her on Twitter, then Nasha could be your visual treat.
