Music: Hema Chandra

Director: Ramesh Varma

RIDE is a movie which belongs to the present generation youth, love, friendship and such delicate ingredients which are vital for life. The value of friendship is shown in a different angle in this movie and the teenage beauty Swetha forms the main attraction.

Story

Mahesh (Tanish) deserts his studies in order to back up his family financially. He is the only son of Kasi Vishwanath and Tulasi and has two sisters who are younger to him. His father retires from his job and so Mahesh takes up a job in a chit fund company as a collection executive. The job needs two wheelers and so Mahesh’s mother funds him by selling some silver items from the house.

Meanwhile, there is another family of Ahuti Prasad and his wife Sudha. They have two songs and Arjun (Nani) is their elder son. Arjun has a passion to own and ride his bike.. He keeps on demanding it in the house, but Ahuti Prasad for various reasons keeps on postponing it.

Tanish incidentally meets Swetha Basu Prasad and they soon fall in love with each other after few reels are run. In the meantime, Nani falls in love with Aksha who is his classmate. The two love birds are happy with their ongoing life till an unfortunate incident takes place. Tanish discovers that his bike is stolen and he is in distress as it is his daily transport and support for his job. He lodges a police complaint and one day finds it with Nani. Tanish misunderstood Nani to be the thief of his bike.

Unfortunately, in a passion to own a bike, Nani purchases a bike from a stolen bike broker and the bike happens to Tanish. Nani earns the bike from the money which he fetches from a race.

When Tanish wants to claim his bike from Nani, the latter has no reason to return the bike to Tanish. After a much heated argument the two come to a solution. They decide to share the bike for half day every day.

After some days in the process of sharing the bike, Tanish and Nani become close friends. But alas! This time again the bike gets stolen and this gives them a mighty shock. The culprit is unknown and the remaining story is suspense.

Performances

Tanish plays his character of a middle class boy very well the naturalistic looks of him and dancing and expressions are perfect.

Nani shares the screen space with Tanish very well. They give their 100% to their respective characters and their innocent fresh faces suit the movie’s script perfectly.

Swetha Basu Prasad has turned into a hot bomb in this film. Her sexy outfits and seductive eyes make the males mesmerized. Though she is still in her teens, her assets are luring and attractive. She is seen in some sleeveless outfits where her arm pits with minute hair are revealed. This can turn on a man and also can turn off a male.

Aksha plays her minute character very well. Ahuthi Prasad, tulasi, kasi Vishwanath, Brahmanandham add the characters to increase the reel life. The movie is well set on the present generation college life and the two middle class families. The music by Indian Idol fame Hema Chandra is also okay. Direction by Varma is average and looks bitsy in some scenes.

On the whole, the movie RIDE may appeal to the college students and may run at least for 30 days in theatres. Anything more than that is impossible.

Sarvam Movie Review

Cast: Arya, Trisha, JD Chakravarthy, Indrajith, Master Rohan, Krishna, Prathap Pothan and others.

Music: Yuvan Shanker Raja

Director: Vishnuvardhan

Producer: Karuna Moorthy and Arun Pandian.

Banner: Ayangaran International

SARVAM as expected is a youth full romantic story which has a suspense and thrill in its storyline. The movie revolves around 5 characters and those are Arya, Trisha, Indrajith and JD Chakravarthy. Master Rohan plays the 5 important character in this movie.

The director as carved the movie in to a perfect entertainer which will last for while in the theatres.

Story

SARVAM is a story where it revolves around the main lead character Karthik (Arya) who is a go easy guy with no big ambitions in life. He is in love with a doctor named Sandhya which is the character played by Trisha.

Trisha and Arya meet each other in a Go Cart racing track and incidentally the meeting turns into a positive outcome. In parallel to this love track, another track starts its journey. It is about the person named Eshwar who is a football coach and an owner of a Rottweiler dog which looks monstrous faced sometimes.

Eshwar is behind a software professional named Naushad (Indrajith) and his son Immam (Rohan) . Eshwar has a personnel grudge against Naushad. Eshwar believes that Naushad had killed his family in an accident. Eshwar looses his son and his loving wife and he discovers that Naushad is the killer who was involved in an accident.

Till the last scene the two stories run independently, but as soon as the last scene in the first half winds up the two stories become one and the amalgamation gives the audiences a thrilling experiences.

The climax is a bit indigestible and so the audiences will be in a mix up in the end.

Performances

Arya looked apt to the role which he plays. The role he plays has the features of the present day youth and his charm and acting skills add energy to the film.

Trisha plays the role of a doctor and her sweet looking face is like a breeze to the audiences. She is seen in some fashionable outfits in some scene s and songs and this will be a treat to her fans.

JD Chakravarthy plays the negative role in the best part. He can be tagged as a best villain in the south film industry as his expressions show his involvement in the character.

Indrajeet and Rohan have played their roles very well. Indrajeet as an IT professional looks apt for the role as he looks perfect as a corporate employee. Little boy Rohan has lived the character offered to him.

Director Vishnuvardhan who carved the movie must be positively acclaimed for his storyline selection. The way the story starts and takes a turn in the middle is awesome. His previous film BILLA which exposed his creative and lavish way of taking proved that the director has high direction potentials. Now, his SARVAM is also taking its shape in a perfect manner and the best part is that the movie has all the ingredients to glue the audiences to their seats.

The music by Yuvan Shanker Raja is apt to the theme and mood of the movie.

On the whole the movie will definitely pass out the 10 days and if the college crowds throng the theatres in the first week of June, then the movie will live a 50 days life in the theatres.

Music: Thaman

KICK is a typical Ravi Teja entertainer with all the ingredients which are there to entertain the mass as well as class audiences. But if the story had some more core subject in it, it would have been a super hit blockbuster of the year 2009. But it satisfies the fans of Ravi Teja and may add a success feather in his film career hat.

Story

Kalyan (Ravi Teja) is an engineering graduate who has a habit of leaving his jobs. He finds them boring after working for a certain period and so leaves them for a new one. Supporting this habit of his is his father (Shayaji). In a strange incident, Kalyan meets (Naina) and the two falls in love. But Naina dislikes the habit of Kalyan deserting his jobs for some more thrills. She thinks that a person who leaves his job due to the reason of vexed up, may also dump her after few months of marriage. But Kalyan believes that unless and until a human tries different jobs, the required Kick and thrill in the life is not achievable.

Kalyan ( Ravi Teja) meets Naina ( Ileana) in an strange manner. Ileana’s friend runs away with her house car driver which is the character played by Comedian venu Madhav. Add spice to the elopement saga, Venu Madhav informs the bride’s mother in order to get some Kick in his life.

The car driver Venu Madhav is a best pal of Kalyan and so Ileana meets Kalyan( Ravi teja) in a strange manner. Initially she hates him and then as expected falls for him. After a brief dating and dancing and running around trees, Naina (Ileana) thinks to part her ways from Kalyan ( Ravi teja). She does not like the habit of deserting the jobs of Ravi Teja.

Naina( Ileana) goes to her parents who are resided in Malaysia where they fix her marriage alliance with a police office of senior cadre. This police officer character is played by actor Kalyan Krishna (Shyam). Shayam tells Ileana that his motive is to catch hold of a thief from Indian who has stolen the money of many rich people in India. Ileana explain to him her pathetic love story .

Shyam is behind a thief who has stolen the money of rich people like NRI’s, businessman, and MLA’s. The thief is none other than hero Kalyan( Ravi Teja) who acts as if he has lost his memory. He appears in front of Ileana in Malaysia where Ileana is in a plan to take the revenge on him. She decides to marry her bridegroom (Shyam) in front of Kalyan(Ravi Teja).

The entry of Halwaraj (Brahmanandham) takes place in the meantime who is in a confused state with the happenings around him.

Then there is a suspense equipped with hilarious comedy spun by Ravi teja, Brahmi, and others.

Performances

Ravi teja comes up with an energetic character in KICK. The hero gets into the skin of the character so perfectly that his fans will relish this movie. His body language, his dialogues and his mannerisms in some scenes are hilarious and also passable.

Ileana oozes her glam quotient in this KICK movie. She is seen in some classy and sexy outfits and raises the temperatures in the pants of many males in the theatre. Her expression and acting are good and she has lived to the hype which the media created about her glamour presence.

Actor Shayam did his role well and so does Ashika who is the new face. The comedy element is maintained in a tempo which is appreciable. Brahmi leads the comedians pack and his character will get a mark in tollywood this year.

Coming to the music, except for the song Gore-Gore, the other songs seems to be dull. The music director Taman has done his duty well, but must improve a lot in scoring music for big banners and big heroes. The background music was passable.

Director Surrender reddy must be complimented for the new twisty storyline he created for KICK. The movie is said to be a racy entertainer with a mild thrill and suspense at the end. With no big movies running in the theatres KICK will definitely cross the 50 day barrier.

Cast: Surya Sivakumar, Tamannah Bhatia, Prabhu, Renuka, Akshadeep Sehgal, Jagan, Ponvannan, Karunas and others.

Music: Harris Jayaraj

Director: KV Anand

Producers- M. Saravanan, MS Guhan, Aruna Guhan and Aparna Guhan.

Veedokkade is a film really scripted for Surya Siva Kumar fans. The film is entertaining in all facets and lives up to the expectations of the Telugu movie lovers. KV Anand, the Director has left no stone unturned in figuring out this movie into a super hit and has succeeded in attaining an average hit tag to some extent.

Story

As usual good oppose bad and this forms the climax.

Who wins, what happens to the love track is a must watch ending on silver screen.

Performances

Surya is said to play the lead role in this movie and is seen with a muscular body to look apt for the action hero role. His acting and dancing skills are impeccable and have done few fighting scenes without a dupe.

Tamannah adds some glam life to the story and is seen in some beautiful costumes in the movie.

Renuka, Prabhu have done their roles very well and Prabhu steals the limelight in the movie with his powerful acting and punching dialogues.

Akshadeep’s lip sync is irritating and this is a draw back in the movie.

The music by Harris Jayaraj is racing and the back ground score is also apt and melodious.

KV Anand has carved the movie into a full entertainer for all sections of audiences and is sure to receive the success candy from the box office in a few days time.

On the whole the Tamil dubbed “Veedokkade” is a hit and may run till a 50 day mark.

Mithrudu movie review

Cast: Balakrishna, Priyamani, Brahmanandham, Deepak, Pradeep Rawath, Chandramohan, Krishna Bhagwan, Baliah, Hema, Chalapathi Rao and others.

Music: Mani Sharma

Director Mahadev

Producer: Sivalanka Krishna Prasad

Mithrudu is the latest movie of actor Balakrishna which has released on May 1st, 2009. from the storyline of the movie, one can say that it is weak and is not penned for the image of Balakrishna. One can easily conclude that an actor of Balakrishna status is ruining his film career by selecting dull stories and idiotic themes. Mithrudu is one such film which has no interesting storyline and is declared another flop in Balaya’s film career.
Story

Sandhya (Priyamani) happens to be the lone daughter of famous businessman Sai Krishna (Ranganath). In order to pursue her Post graduation courses she boards a flight to Malaysia. Sandhya has a strong belief in astrology and according to a well known astrologer her horoscope has a dosha which has to be rectified. It reveals that the person who marries her will die in few days after marriage and so Priyamani is in a hunt for such a man who matches her horoscopes planetary placements and who is willing to die within few days after marriage.

Sandhya desperately searches for such a person and finally finds Aditya (Balakrishna). Aditya is a always busy with his drinking and is a person who wants to isolate himself from the rest of the world. Sandhya is offered advises from her well wisher Krishna Bhagwan who always guides her for her better life.

In this whole story, the villain Pradeep Rawath’s son is in love with Sandhya and migrates to Malaysia in order to marry her.

Ranganath as a father is excited about his daughter Sandhya’s well being and sends his brother in law Brahmanandham to get back Sandhya to his home. Priyamani seduces Aditya and is happy that aditya is ready to die after one month of marriage. Actually she falls in love with a guy named Madhu (Deepak) and wants to marry him.

The story also deals with aditya’s wise planning in order to evade his death which is written in his horoscope after one month from his marriage.
Performances

Balakrishna gives his 100% t the film and does his naturalistic acting. He is seen as an angry young man, but his make up is unable to cover his wrinkles on his face. It is better If Balakrishna goes for the intensive Botox treatment for every future film of his from now on.

Priyamani ills in the mass element of glamour into the film. She acts less and is seen showing more. But she lives the character in the film perfectly.

Deepak plays the character of a nice guy initially, but turns into a baddie in the second half of the film.

Ranganath, chandramohan, Brahmanandham, Chalapathi, hema and Krishna Bhagwan add the characters in the reel.

The music of the film is composed by Mani Sharma., but it lacks the fizz of his previous blockbusters.

Mahadev, the director has come up with a weak storyline and it does not suit the stature of actor Balakrishna who is considered as one of the stalwarts of Telugu cinema. The interest in the film is lost in the first half of the film by the audiences.

On the whole this is again termed as a flop film of Balakrishna and it was better that it did not release before the 2009 elections.

ndha Thandavan is the movie which has actress Tamannah and new face siddharth Venugopal in the lead and is all set to get released  on April 10^th. The movie is said to be a message oriented movie for the young generation.

Though the movie is said to be a regular mixed masala of love and sentiment, the director claims that he has done something extra ordinary which will be a highlight to the movie.

The movie is said to release worldwide tomorrow and is banking on the milky white beauty Tamannah’s star value.

Billa

Cast: Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Namitha, Krishnam Raju, Kelly Dorjee, Ali, Jaya Sudha and Others

Music: Mani Sharma

Director Meyer Ramesh.

Billa has finally released amid high expectations and much hype. The movie is a visual treat to all Prabhas fans and the storyline is same as in Tamil and Hindi. The inclusion of Meyer Ramesh’s creativity has brought a new lease of life into the movie.

Story

Ranga meets Maya (Anushka) who wants to kills Billa at any cost as she has a personnel grudge against him.

Will she succeed, who is devil and the whole climax is a must watch story on big screen.

Performances

Prabhas is magnificently portrayed in the character of Billa. His valiant body is apt for Don’s image and the dialogue delivery of him is excellent. Dancing and fighting scenes in BILLA are impressive.

Krishnam Raju adds weight to the storyline and is seen in an excellent character role of an ACP officer in BILLA. He is a well experienced man in the film industry and the need to explain his acting skills is unnecessary.

Namitha and Anushka add glamour for the sake of attracting mass crowds. Their oomph in the film gets on the top of the head and is a highlight in the film BILLA.

Music by Mani Sharma is apt for the storyline and the mood of the music sets the movie’s right pace.

Sivapuram- Movie Review

Cast: Prithviraj, Kavya Madhavan, Manoj K Jayan, Riya sen, Kalabavan Mani, Cochin Haneefa, Revathi and others

Music: MG Radhakrishnan

Direction: Santosh Sivan

Production: Subramanyanyam and Rupesh.

Sivapuram is a Malayalam movie originally which was released in the year 2005. In the year 2006, it was dubbed into Telugu and was relished by the public for some days. Now, it is released in Tamil and it may be due to the horror fever which is gripping the Tamil movie audiences. The movie is about fantasy, black- magic, superstitions, evils and gods and the director has made it into a suspense thriller with some typical story to it.

Story

The movie opens up with the hero Anandham (Prithivi Raj) moving to rural kerala in train in order to dip the ashes of her mother in her village. Revathi plays the hero’s mother character and she leaves her last breathe by taking the promise from her son, the hero that her ashes will be dipped at her birth place village and 1000 oil lamps will be lit in a snake guarded temple.

Anand meets incidentally a man who is from his mother home town. He follows him to his village, but to his surprise the route they take is filled with black magic and evils. The hero gets affected by some black magic and he faints then and there. The village people find him out and bring him to their village. Kalabhavan Mani happens to be a village well versed person and a blind man. He is a martial arts trainer and is a follower of god. He finds out that the hero is affected by the sorcery done by a Tantrik magician who resides in the outskirts of a temple his name is assigned as Digabaram and is the character played by Manoj K Jeyan.

Kalabhavan has a daughter who is wrapped up in a single cloth and always is in the fantasy of the tantrik. She does what he mesmerizes to her on each Amavasya day and this is the character played by Riya Sen who is seen in some revealing costumes in the movie.

The village temple Shivakavu which is guarded by snakes for its possession of a Nagamaniyakyam is in the hands of the tantrik Digambaran.

Now, the whole story revolves around the hero- Prithviraj, his sister in law which is the character played by Kavya Madhavan, kalabhavan Mani, his daughter and the tantrik Digambaram.

How the evil is overtaken by good and how the hero makes his mothers last wish fulfilled for the rest of the story.

The entire movie is neatly weaved and the sequence by sequence presentation is thrilling.

Performances

Prithiviraj as usual does an impeccable acting and is seen as a cool witty guy through out the movie.

Kavya Madhavan plays the character of a village young girl who happens to be sister in law to the hero. She does her character impeccably well.

Riya Sen is seen in brief roles and no dialogues are given to her. Her dumb expression is unbearable sometimes. But as usual her skin show will continue in this movie and the mass crowds will relish her skin show in the climax sequences.

Revathy does a small role, but her presence is felt through out the movie.

Kalabhavan Mani does a perfect job of an evil crusader; Manoj K Jayan does a classy job as a tantrik Digambaran.

The direction department by santosh Sivan is also well perfect, but the only problem is that the dubbing part is not so up to the mark and so it irritates the audiences in some scenes.

On the whole, the movie can be watched once in the theatre and that too weak hearted guys are strict no to the movie.
