Director Uday Shankar provides a cliched storyline with a reasonably okay screenplay but Ravi Teja makes Baladoor watchable. The movie has all the ingredients of a potboiler.

Victory is watchable because of its contemporary social theme. Director Ravi C Kumar wants to tell people to unite and fight for what is rightfully theirs. Nitin does a decent job, while Mamta looks glamorous.

Ready is very much a stereotypical love story. The cute, lead pair Ram and Genelia makes the film watchable.

Pandurangadu, directed by K. Raghavendra Rao has good performances by Balakrishna, Tabu, Sneha, K.Vishwanath, melodious music by Keeravani, some good locales shot well by Jayaram. All in all a refreshing alternative to the current crop of movies.

Bujjigadu, Made in Chennai is routine formula fare with some slick treatment by Puri Jagannath. Prabhas and Trisha make a good convincing pair.

Bujjigadu offers nothing new

Rediff.com   22 May 2008

Director Puri Jagannnath spins a routine yarn in the Telugu film, Bujjigadu, Made in Chennai. Filled with Jagan's usual -- loads of violence, a wafer-thin story and the regular masala -- the film, of course, is slick. But the screenplay's premise is flimsy and seems forced where Jagan weaves in the elements of gang rivalry and the hero's super image.

Watch Kantri for NTR. The actor is simply superb in his action and dance sequences. Otherwise, the movie has nothing much new about it.

Review: Idi Sangathi

Review: Idi Sangathi

Rediff.com   25 Feb 2008

Idi Sangathi fails to engross despite the presence of Tabu and Abbas. While the theme is good, the treatment is insipid. Chandra Siddhartha's effort is a dampener.

Review: Visakha Express

Review: Visakha Express

Rediff.com   8 Feb 2008

Visakha Express is quite a letdown as it finally peters down to be a case of personal vendetta. The suspense is not enough to keep the audience engrossed and the fairly decent performances by Allari Naresh and Rajeev Kanakala may not be of much help in making the film run.
