A multistarrer from N- Heroes! Dream for many N fans!

Telugu Industry has not been so favorable to multistarrers though here and there were few multistarrers. Few of the notable multistarrers were critically acclaimed as well as commercially successful and few ended up  as failures too.

The multistarrer movies Telugu audience supported well in the last decade are

1. Seethamma Vakitlo Sirmalle Chettu – Venkatesh & Mahesh Babu

2. Gopala Gopala – Venkatesh & Pawankalyan

3. Yevadu – Ramcharan & Allu Arjun

4. Oo kodathara ulikki padthara – NBK & Manoj

5. Pandavulu Pandavulu Thummedha – Manchu Heroes.

6.Sankranthi – Venkatesh,Srikanth

On the other hand we have seen few failures as well

1. Krishnarjuna  – Vishnu & Nagarjuna

2. Shadow- Venkatesh & Srikanth

3. Romeo- Raviteja & Sairam Shankar

4. Sarochcharu – Raviteja & Nara Rohit

Coming to N heroes, we have Tarak, NBK, Kalyanram, Tarakarathna, Nara Rohit and NHK was a hero as well. Its wish of many fans to see at least few of these heroes share screen space on the silver screen. So why not a movie be made with N heroes combination?

1)A family entertainer in which NBK& NHK in father roles,Tarak, NKR, Tarakarathna, Nara Rohit in the current generation roles
2) A simple family drama with NBK,Tarak,NKR/Tarakarathna

3) A full length comedy entertainer with Tarak, NKR,Tarakarathna, Rohit.

The movie can be made under NTR arts banner with a limited budget ,as a concept based movie with more comedy, so that the movie will be a minimum guarantee hit and will emerge as a commercial hit at the box office. More over this can help N heroes like NKR, Tarakarathna, Nara rohit who are waiting for a big commercial success. Will make many N fans dream come true and also it will be a visual treat for us to see at least 2-3 N heroes on silver screen together!

Waiting for feedback from my dear co Tarak fans on this thought!

 

Temper – My Take

All Tarak fans are eagerly awaiting for Temper movie ,so are Puri fans. Puri is on a good track record recently with Businessman,Heartattack becoming hits and Idharammayilatho being an average flick. On the other hand, Tarak , is in need of a blockbuster, as his last 2 movies were not hits at Boxoffice

Positives:
1. This is the third movie for Tarak as cop and his previous 2 cop based movies are hits.
2. Puri is well known for handling cop based movies.
3. Puri makes stylish underplay movies that turn as heavy grossers at BO
4. Tarak performance irrespective of the script will be the highlight and best as usual.
5. Dialogue delivery of Tarak is the best asset.

6. Previous combo from these was a failure at BO and hence it will be a defenite plus.
7. Last 2 movies of Tarak not hits at BO

Negatives:

1. Piracy- for all movies its not avoidable
2. Expectations for a mass flick from Tarak – if its a class flick,it may not go well with a section of audience
3. Anup rubens is not known for best music. If he turns out good it will be a plus to Temper than a minus.
4. Release time. If it clashes with any biggie, the result of the other biggie might impact Temper.

As a Tarak die hard fan, I am hoping this movie will be a milestone in Tarak’s performance in the movie and at the BO.

 

My take on a Fan’s emotional speech to NTR Jr@Tarak!

Recently a die hard fan of Tarak @ NTR jr from Bangalore has posted a audio clip in youtube about his feelings on Tarak’s movies and what kind of roles he wishes to see Tarak in future. After listening to the clip, I felt its not only his feeling alone and many other fans like him has the same feeling too. There is good amount of coverage in the media(ABN, TV9,Times of India) about the feelings of him.

Since most of the fans has already listened to the clip there is nothing much to be told about the clip here. My sincere thanks to this die hard fan for bringing out the feelings of atleast many thousands of NTR fans to public.

Here I wish to continue from where he left. No one in Telugu Film Industry can deny the fact that Tarak is the best of the lot of current generation heroes , who is best in terms of acting,dance and high energetic performances. With all the qualities he has in terms of his onscreen performance , I feel he has not even did 50% of his capability he possesses. A section of the fans might not agree to this,but its true.

The kind of performances he delivered in Aadhi,Simhadri,Yamadonga,Raakhi,Ooseravalli are not repeated again in any of his movies, or not even half of it is repeated in other movies. His humourous roles in Brindavanam, Adhurs proved that he is very good in doing such roles with ease and give the best. But the recent movies like Ramayya vasthavayya, Rabhasa had weak story lines though Tarak tried to give best out of him, they failed to impress the audience.

I feel that Tarak is again pulled back to his mass flicks by the movie makers which will not give any scope for him to deliver performances to his full capability. Tarak , if chooses stories that offer full scope to deliver much more performances will defenitely make him uncomparable. But at present he is not doing so. Hope Temper reveals another dimension of his performances and satisfy all sections of the audiences.

As of now, Tarak is confined to the mass section of audience and he is seen as a mass hero,though he is way above that. Though he managed to get close to family and female audience with adhurs,brindavanam and baadshah , he dint manage to hold these sections with his other movies. Fans like me feel that he has to do something different to get hold of all sections of audience and do much more meaty roles that can elevate his performances and make him a complete actor than simply a Mass hero.

For doing that first he needs to think beyond his star image and select movies that offer much more scope and variety to his acting dimensions. There are lot of new , talented film makers who are very good in doing off beat cinema, or movies that give much scope for the main cast to give their best performances. And added to that there are concept based movies, similar to Hollywood which can be done in a short period of time and in the best way. This does not mean that Tarak should stop doing Mass entertainers, in between his mass flicks, he can do different genre movies that will cater to different sections of audiences which will increase his fan base to a greater extent and bring family, female and youth to his movies much more than present scenario.

I have a few suggestions to Tarak for utilizing his full capability as actor, those will definitely help him to reach towering heights if chosen.

1. Getting into Shankar, Manirathnam movies , that are beyond his star image( like Oke okkadu, Aparichithudu,I)

2. Simple Love stories with lot of humour

3. Family entertainers with very little mass elements

4. Concept oriented movies

5. Situation based movies ( story starts and ends on the same day – a thrilling incedent / humours incident is the core of the movie)

6. Full length comedy entertainers

7. Thrillers ( like bhadram)

8. Social message oriented movies

9. Off beat movies

Except for the point 1, all the rest can be done within 20-30 days of shooting time, with a lower budget and can be done in between 2 mass entertainers. This will bring in more dimensions to his acting, he can show his full acting capability, and make movies catering to all sections of audiences. Barring the remuneration of the cast and crew, these movies can be done within a budget of 2-5 crores. and with the market capability and stardom of Tarak, these will end up as commercially successful movies too, besides being successful on performance front.

More over these can be done on co-operative movie making , in which all the cast and crew will be paid a certain percentage of the profits of the movie. So the point to think here is , the movie budget will be recovered from the satellite rights itself and the share it collects will be the profits of the movie which can be distributed to the cast and crew. More over this will make Tarak explore various styles of acting, cater to different sections of audiences, and will have 2-3 movies released yearly, which will make the fans feel happy, rather than waiting for a movie per year.

This may look like a critic writing, but as a die hard fan of Tarak , I wish to see him more like a Kamalhasan-ish rather than a Star image-ish actor.

 

 

Brilliance of “I”- Shankar’s Magic on Screen

First and foremost I condemn(my opinion, posted below in detail why I do condemn) all the reviewers who simply told its the weakest film of Shankar, not so good story line. If you want only masala movies to review or a superb story line with twists and turns, Shankar might have disappointed you, but its not the normal genre of South Indian( Tamil & Telugu ) cinema that “I ” belongs to. Its a film for technical brilliance, its a film for extra ordinary visuals, its a film for brilliant acting, a film for excellent music, when all these ingredients are there, why look for other things!

I am not going to narrate the story here. Simply I am posting the values of the movie,which are more important than a story or twists in the story.

1. A Simple and clean straight screenplay- Making the viewers understand the movie is what about without any second thought.

2. Technical brilliance in terms of every aspect from location selection to the Computer graphics and visual effects.

3. Pin pointing dialogues , simple and clean in nature making the viewer not get bored.

4. Brilliance in acting from all the cast – Vikram surely deserves a national award for this. If this movie is made in English, he might get nominated to the academy awards for best actor too.

5. Its more of a concept based technical brilliance movie rather than a complex story based movie. Its widely followed in Hollywood, a simple concept made into a full length movie.

6. Story told in an awesome way, much better than many Hollywood movies.

7. Stunts picturisation in the best possible way.

What else you need for a movie? If a twist and tale story with mass masala elements are there, will it make a good movie if everything is too artificial?

The way Vikram has moulded himself for the character itself is sufficient to watch this movie once, for Shankar’s magnum opus once,and for technology once and for the rest once.

Those who want only over dramatic, action packed movies, please keep that away from your mind and watch for the brilliance of this movie and you will get entertained.
