Ami Thumi Telugu Movie Review

Release date : June 09, 2017

Rating : 3.25/5

Director : Mohan Krishna Indraganti

Producer : K C Narasimha Rao

Music Director : Mani Sharma

Starring : Avasarala Srinivas, Adivi Sesh, Vennela Kishore, Eesha Rebba, Aditi Myakal

Indraganti’s Ami Tumi has been promoted quite well in the last few days. The comedy caper featuring Vennela Kishore, Adivi Sesh and Srinivasa Avasarala has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.

Story:-

Gangadhar Rao(Tanikella Bharani) is strictly against his daughter’s(Esha) affair with Ananth(Adivi Sesh) and fixes her marriage with Sreechilipi(Vennela Kishore). This is also the time when Gangadhar’s son(Srinivasa Avasarala) is in love with his enemy’s daughter Maaya(Aditi).

Upset with his kids, Gangadhar locks his daughter inside a room and kicks his son out of his house. Rest of the story is as to how the brother-sister duo manages to evade Sree Chilipi and get married to their respected lovers.

Plus Points:

Vennela Kishore has been shining brightly in every film of his of late, but his comedy is to another level in Ami Tumi. Right after he enters the scene, Kishore’s punch dialogues, subtle mannerisms, and his chemistry with his love interest in the film are to die for. Kishore’s satirical comedy and the way he uses funny English phrases in the form of punches are hilarious. With this film, his popularity will surely go to another level.

Tannikella Bharani brings a lot of depth to the proceedings and is very good as the strict father. The film has good comedy throughout as the director Mohana Krishna nicely adds good entertaining moments in both the halves. The mistaken identity comedy and the comedy track that he has written for Vennela Kishore works quite well.

The climax of the film is also decent and ends on a positive note. The actress who plays Vennela Kishore’s love interest in the film also does a tremendous job as her act brings a lot of humor in the film. Eesha Rebba is good as the Telangana girl.

Minus Points:-

The first ten to twelve minutes of the film start on a very slow note. The way the characters are introduced and their loud acting can put you off most of the time. The film clearly has some loud and slapstick comedy which may not go well with the mass audience.

Even though the film is a comedy caper, the way certain characters behave makes the film quite silly at times. Srinivasa Avasarala and Adavi Sesh do their job well but are hardly there in the film.

Technical Aspects:

Production values are pretty good as the film looks neat and visually entertaining. Dialogues by Mohana Krishna are yet another huge asset for the film as they have been written with a lot of satirical humour. Editing is decent and so was the background score. Luckily, Mani Sharma’s music goes with the flow and does not obstruct the proceedings. Camera work by P G Vinda is pretty good even though he had less scope to showcase his talent as the film is set mostly in very few locations.

Coming to the director Mohana Krishna, he has done an impressive job with the film. With a less number of characters, he has made the proceedings quite interesting as his screenplay is quite crisp and to the point. The way he generates comedy through Vennela Kishore’s character and adds good fun at regular interval is nice.

Verdict:-

On the whole, Ami Tumi is a very healthy comedy which has some entertaining moments throughout. The film will especially do well at the A centers because of its urban comedy touch. Vennela Kishore is the star as he makes this film which has a simple and predictable story line quite enjoyable with his hilarious performance as Sree Chipili. Watch it for him.

Raja Meeru Keka Telugu Movie Review

Raja Meeru Keka Telugu Movie Review

Release date : June 16, 2017

 Rating : 2.25/5

Director : Krishna Kishore

Producer : M. Raj Kumar

Music Director : Sri Charan

Starring : Taraka Ratna, Lasya, Noel Sean, Revanth

Continuing the trend of small budget films, yet another movie Raja Meeru Keka has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.

Story:

Ravi(Revanth), Swetha (Lasya), Shashank(Noel) and Seenu(Hemanth) are four best friends who are happy with their respective jobs. One fine day, a person named Nagaraju(Tarak Ratna) who owns an MNC enters the scene and creates a big disturbance in the lives of these four friends.

What is that disturbance? How are Nagaraju and these four friends connected? How do these friends solve their problems? That forms the rest of the story?

Plus Points:

The way director Krishna Kishore has based his story using some true incidents looks good. Anchor Lasya is impressive on screen and gives a decent performance in her limited screen presence.

Looks wise, Revanth is good and does okay in his role. Noel Sean is very good with his energetic performance. Mirchi Hemanth’s comedy timing and expressions are superb. Mainly, all his episodes with his father are hilarious.

Tarak Ratna, who is back after a short gap is impressive in his negative role and gives a settled performance. Heroine Sarayu is good looking and suits the film well.

Minus Points:

Though the director has chosen some true incidents, he completely failed in executing it. The film starts with an entertaining pattern but loses its grip after some time.

Posani was not utilized properly. Thirty years Prudhvi’s comedy has no proper timing or finishing. Films which come with this kind story line should have proper conclusion and solution but the director has totally taken side track with an abrupt ending.

Technical Aspects:

As said above, the way director Krishna Kishore deals with the film is highly disappointing. Editing by AV Prasad is not up to the mark as many unnecessary scenes can be easily chopped off. Camera work by Ram.P.Reddy is decent. Music by Sricharan is okay but his background score impresses in parts. Production values are just okay.

Verdict:

On the whole, Raja Meeru Keka has a good point script-wise but is completely let down by some shoddy execution. Except for Hemanth’s performance and his hilarious track with his dad, this film lacks proper depth in the proceedings and makes a boring watch for this week.

Marakathamani Telugu Movie Review 2017

Marakathamani Telugu Movie Review 2017

Release date : June 16, 2017

telugump4zone.blogspot.com Rating : 2.75/5

Director : A.R.K. Saravanan

Producer : Sri Chakra Innovations and Rushi Media

Music Director : Dhibu Ninan Thomas

Starring : Aadi Pinisetty, Nikki Galrani

Continuing the trend of dubbed Tamil films, the new movie which has come out today is Aadi Pinisetty’s Marakatamani. Let’s see how this crime comedy is.

Story :-

The story of the film is about an ancient diamond called Marakatamani. Over a period of time, all those who try to steal the prestigious stone keep getting killed in mysterious situations.

This is the time when a small time smuggler played by Aadhi comes forward to rob Marakatamani. He approaches a pujari who suggests him to take the help of some evil spirits in order to stay alive and complete his tasks.

What will Aadi do now? How will he create evil spirits? and moreover, how will he steal Marakatamani? That forms the rest of the story.

Plus Points:-

On of the biggest plus points of the film is the way the evil spirits have been generated into the story line. The comedy that this thread evokes is very good most of the film. The small time crime comedy, villains chasing the hero and the various other spooky factors have been handled well.

Aadi plays a pivotal role and does a very sincere job. He mixes well with the setup and his track with Nikki Garlani is quite interesting. She has a unique role in the film and does extremely well in her character.

Ramdoss who plays a key role of a spirit is hilarious in his act. He along with his group save the film most of the time and evoke some very good fun in the second half.

Minus Points:-

The story of the film is quite fictional and has many over the top moments. The evil spirits coming into existence and helping the hero look good in places but has been over done a bit in the first half. Lack of known faces can go against the film as there are all new Tamil actors playing crucial roles.

Nikki Garlani’s romantic thread with Aadi is side tracked and could have been elevated a bit. The first half of the film is very slow as the proceedings take forever to get to the actual twist of the film. Though the film has some good comedy during this time, the story does not move one bit. The villain’s thread though started interestingly, becomes quite silly by the time the climax arrives.

Technical Aspects:-

The film’s set up looks good and the decent camerawork makes the scenes look quite interesting and spooky. The background score of the film is very impressive and elevates the film nicely. Dubbing done is just about okay and so were the production values.

Coming to the director Saravanan, he has done a decent job with the film. His story looks over the top but he adds some clean and good humor at regular intervals and makes this film quite interesting during the second half. Had he rushed the first half and brought the twist at an earlier stage, the film would have been even more interesting.

Verdict:-

On the whole, Marakatami is a passable fantasy thriller which has its moments. The makers cleverly induce good fun at regular intervals and side track the over the top storyline. If you ignore certain logics here and there and are okay with some time pass situational comedy, this crime thiller can be given a shot this weekend.
