Once upon a time, He was TRIVIKRAM!

Trivikram, the name which never needs an introduction.
He became phenomenal with his dialogues & making. How long he can be having the same qualities? Has he changed?

Okay, recently his Atharintiki daredi released & became a big hit all over. It is shattering all previous records & creating new milestones for TFI. I watched the film and really liked it. Mean while watching, i had so many doubts in my mind & came out from theater with a big question, was it really a trivikram film? Hope not only me, but most of you got the same doubt after watching.

What i missed?!
1.Punch package: trivikram started his career as a writer & had a huge success in it. All his movies will have a package of punches (whatever the situation is). In AD, he is light in this section & let the conversations simple. People always expect (infact, want to see) a bunch of punches from him. I didn't get the why he took this light.
2.Making: his screenplay, always flawless & makes film better even on repeat watching. Still Athadu ranking huge TRP ratings, whenever it plays on TV. All his films are perfect in this department, except AD. It was flat & looks like a regual commercial film, because of easy screenplay. It will be a big surprise for me, if anyone had the same feeling on movie on 2nd watch.
3.Picturization: trivikram film are best in quality. His presentation is good with best quality of picturization. Seems he had a vision on camera & portraits like a painting. Piliche pedavula from khaleja is proof enough that he is the best in this department(not only that song, but all of his songs). In AD, he hasn't give a thought about it i think. Movie had good technical values, but not songs. Mostly he captured all songs out-door & looks very simple. Especially, the most energetic track, aaradugula bullet doesn't get any applause in theater, pavan kalyan is the lead role though.
4.Under-content Comedy: comedy is the big asset of trivikram movies & no one give a thought that it is not plot of movie. Yes, he mix humour in his conversations & never put any comic scenes out of the plot. Recently, TFI is going on a success mantra, which is nothing but hilarious sequences. Sreenu vaitla always have it in his films & gets hits by depending on it. I don't know why trivikram also took a step into this genre. In AD, brahmi had a surprising entry & character doesn't had any importance (infact, no need). Even a small kid can understand, that his character is out of the plot. Even more surprisingly he had put a marathon comedy sequence on him. There is no need to say, it remembers dream chair scene of baadshah. (i don't want to give a spoiler at this point. But i found this video on net, seems an inspiration for trivikram click here to watch video. Undoubtedly a bad move.
5.Logics: generally a genius thinks that all people are fools & he can fool them easily. trivikram might had same thought in his mind. Unlike his old movies he is not concentrating about logics. He might stick to his dialogue in julayi, 'logic lu akkarledu, andariki magic le kavali'. In Khaleja he had put sidda's episode in an unconvincing way. Later, in julayi he took another step & made more logic less scenes like, hero's prediction, interval fight scene etc. Now in AD we can't count how many he did. `In introduction song, hero walks without shoes & his assistant carries those & walks along with him. Any logic? `praneeta's boyfriend comes out from car's front mirror by applying sudden break, but praneeta, who sits very next to him will not even move from her seat. `pk comes to india to bring his athayya back to home, but he never talk to her, even she asked about his presence. `praneeta adore pk, she loves another boy, ofcourse we had a song between them. Samantha losts her brain, for a song? Sidhappa's gang want to fight with pk's goggles, but not with pk (sadly). I wanna to stop here.
               particularly in AD, he did many mistakes (including above), he wanted to put fight, so created introduction fight(just a deal about company). He wanted to capture songs, so praneeta adores him & Samantha lost her brain for limited time.
                As a huge trivikram fan, i really like him, when he did good movies, instead of commercial entertainers. I never care about his movies doing good business or not, i cannot give a chance to miss his nuvvey nuvvey, athadu, jalsa & khaleja on TV. Hope he knows why did athadu screened most times & khaleja going equally with it. People love him & watch his film repeatedly. But with his recent steps, he is degrading himself from unique to normal level.

Finally,
     Dear trivikram sir, meeru sikharam, maku kanipinchalani meeru kindaki ravakkarledu.
Love you sir, for your ultimate passion towards cinema.
I want to see our old good trivikram back again.

Why SVSC is so special to me?

Seetamma vakitlo sirimalle chettu, the movie which is too special to me for some unconditional reasoms.
First of all, it is a pure telugu film, which i wanted to see from so long. I love 'mayabazar' & 'gundamma katha' very much. Sadly, i haven't seen any film like those in recent times. When they announced the title svsc, i felt that i'm going to watch a pure telugu film. After watching the movie i felt happy that i watched what i really expected.
Personally, it touched my heart, because it belongs to me & my family. I have an younger brother, who is having behavior like as mahesh had in SVSC. When i watched the film, i haven't find mahesh, but my brother. Me also not much differ than 'peddodu'. Left my job in vizag and stood in a confusion, what to do next?. Each time they quarrel, it reminds me how i feel, when i had an argument with my brother. Infact we never messedup with each other for a big time. I love to spend much time with him, he is my best friend indeed.
And characterization of prakash raj garu. matured, cool & effective. His philosophy on life & relations is worthy notable & should be follow. His words in the climax about human relationships are unforgettable.
Mahesh, who is the demi-god to me, agreed & acted in this movie. He might have hit movies, all those are commercial entertainers, except 'murari'. He badly needed a good film in his list. SVSC filled that gap & became as a best film in his career. Even some other hero fans also called/messaged me, how much they liked the movie. It never happened before.
i have much more reasons to like this movie, but i feel these are enough to share.
Finally, this movie is very close to me and i love it completely. I must thank srikant addala for giving a pure good telugu movie to telugu audience after long time. Thank you for potraiting this film in a realistic way & Thank you for the memory.

Raanjhanaa : music review

RAANJHANAA - AR Rahman (hindi)
1.Tum tak: javed ali's vocals standsout this song on top, along with keerthi & pooja's vocals. good work by ARR in his department.
2.Raanjhanaa: nicely composed. but jaswindar&shiraz uppal take credits for their enthusiastic singing.
3.Ay sakhi: arr went through a tradional way for this track. with madhusree, chinmai & vishali he delivered a good number.
4.Banarasiya: as like 'ay sakhi', but shreya ghoshal this time. and rahman took much part with music. battle between voice&music. song wins.
5.Piya milenge: started with a dynamic music. sukwindarsingh overtaken from them. sufi's support was good.
6.Nazar layi: album's best. sure this song works for big time. rashid ali&neeti mohan did a fabulous job with their vocals. rahman's work never needs credits. but it was best.
7.Tu mun shudi: expirmental&capacitive. rabbi again with rahman. good work.
8.Aisa na dekho: karthik's presence in rahman music. what a composition. slow & sweet. 'mujhe kuch bhi nahi chahiye tumse rahman'. classy.

Fukrey: music review

1.Fuk fuk fukrey: heavy energetic song. Ram sampat used instruments along with his vocals supported by amjad.
2.beda paar: mika sing's show all the way. Another fast beat. Tarannum malik's part was cool.
3.lag gayi lottery: a pretty good song for a group dance. Ram sampat's music was worthy. Guitarish. Singers done their job at best.
4.karle jugaad karle: a kailash kher song with ram sampat's tune. Good use of instruments.
5.Rabba: starts with a solo slow tune, but turns into a capacitive track with some finest beats supported by a good music. Good number.
6.Ambarsariya: sona mahapatra rendered in a style for ram sampat. Album's best Song. Completely surrounded by a good guitar work.

Overall, a bit disappointing album by ram sampat after Talaash, but sounds good. Mostly guitarish.
My picks: Ambarsariya,rabba & lag gayi lottery.
Rating: 3.25/5

Maryan: music review


After tremendous KADAL, ARR comesup with MARYAN in tamil.
1.Nenjae yezhu: rahman rendered voice in his very own style. Music also not too far away from it. Good song. 2.innum konjam naeram: belongs to 'nenjikulle'. Rahman brings-out his own old music in the track. Vijay prakash & sweta mohan added flavours with their vocals. Pleasant song. 3.Naetru aval: song standsout with vijay prakash&chinmayi's vocals. Music always did it's part in rahman's songs. Very slow. Very pleasant. 4.sonapareeya: foot taping. Enthusiastic singing by javed ali & hari charan. A very good track to hum in a joy. 5.Yenga pona rasa: shakti sree's another vocal magic after nenjikulle, along with top class music in background. Album's best indeed. 6.i love my africa: international track for a tamil film. Rahman composed it like a theme song. Blaze's rap sounds good. 7.Kadal rasa naan: arr-yuvan's combo. They did their part in respective departments. Okay.

Overall, ARR went through safe mode. No experiments this time. But delivers good. My picks: yenga pona rasa, naetrul aval, innum konjam naeram & sonapareeya. Rating: 4/5

Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu : my review

Here is my analysis of the most awaited true multu-starrer movie SVSC.

  As movie's tag-line, it's a simple but beautiful movie. It's about one middle class family and mainly about bond between two brothers.
  In movie, you never found any hero, except characters. You won't mind that wether he is Mahesh or venky. Both heroes suited well as brothers.
  Venky suits well as peddodu & his character shows attitude all over. It's a tailor-made character for him. Does well.
  Mahesh- undoubtedly pillar of the movie. His character have all elements. True performer as always. Total comedy lead by him & his roll is a treat to watch.
In emotional scenes his acting is top class.
  Prakash raj, as usually best. His dialogues are provoking and traditional. Samantha & anjali played good lead rolls. All other characters are damn good.
  TECHNICALLY, srikant addala deserves a big applause for his direction. He made every character of the movie in a beautiful manner.
Dialogues of the movie are worthy & mahesh's one-liners are superb.
Kv guhan as usually best with his cinematography and it's a treat to watch.
Micky's music is good. Mani sharma is brilliant in Bgm.
*movie turned lightly slow post interval & before climaxe. That's the only negative thing about movie. But director can't do any thing here because, it's not a regular commercial film.
FINALLY, svsc is undoubtedly a super family entertainer. Movie is all about feelings of relationships.
It is about every family.. about the brothers out there.. about YOU.. Watch it.. Feel it..
Relish the moments u have been missing in ur life!!
