Nagaram - Srikanth's return to action
It was much hyped as the makers and the main protagonist claimed it was a comeback of Srikant to hardcore action flicks once again. That was enough to create lots of enthusiasm among the audience to see what the film has on offer. It surely is an action flick and it surely sees Srikant doing more action than he has done in more than a decade. Then, there is an all important item song, a sincere co

Gamyam - Perfect rehash of 'Motorcycle Diaries'
For any student of world cinema, Walter Salles’ film Diarios de 'motocicleta' or 'Motorcycle Diaries' made in 2004 is a must-watch movie as it brings on to the screen the gradual evolution of a medical student, Che Guevera into a revolutionary.

Idee Sangati - Tabu fails to thrill
A thriller that is not exactly a thriller, that is Idee Sangati in short. Well, it is more of a chase story to corner the culprits. Not that they are gun-touting bad guys wearing shades and masterminding the plot in plush night clubs. Idee Sangati has simple people, the kind of people we meet everyday, who could turn into petty criminals, in a moment of greed.

Ontari - Back to good old revenge drama!
Revenge dramas had become passé. No longer do we have macho heroes bashing up the goons a la the 1980s and walking into the sunset. Today’s popcorn generation loves romantic comedies and the Gen X wants to see the hero and heroine zipping past on a bike into the sunset. But with 'Ontari', the makers attempt to revive the genre of the good, old fashioned revenge dramas.

Andamaina Manasulo... - RP's Val's Day film loaded with mush
From a music director, RP Patnaik had turned an actor and then he takes the next logical step to direct a film. For starters, we will talk about the pros of 'Andamaina Manasulo'. The comedy track is really very good. RP Patnaik comes up with something original and funny. He makes the most of the comic timing of Sunil and Lakshmipati and it is really nice to watch a fresh track after a long time.

Sundarakanda - 'Pinky' turns wonky
'Amma, nanna, O Telugu ammayi' would have been an apt title for this Bapu movie. We have Pinky (Charmme), the ammayi, we have Ram Gopal Varma (Sunil Sharma), the nanna and then we have the amma, played by Prema. The story is set in a village and we have the so-called ‘Bapu bomma’. Now does that sound enticing? If it does, then here’s the tailpiece. Pinky, Bapu’s ‘thoka leni Monkey’, wrecks havoc i

Krishnarjuna - Cola without the fizz
They said it was inspired by Bruce Almighty. Then, we heard it was similar to the ANR starrer Buddhimantudu. Now that the film has released, we can vouch for the fact that it is not inspired, at least not in total. It is indeed interesting to watch both Vishnu and Nagarjuna in the same frame, given that they both have a different body language.

Mr. Medhavi - It’s about the right calculation, honey!

Swagatham - Quintessential Jagapati Babu film
'Swagatam' is probably one of the much-hyped films of Jagapati Babu in a very long time. It has our hero and two heroines, Anushka and Bhoomika and good dosage of sentiment and the usual triangular love story. Only this time, it is set abroad – in the US, to be precise.

Vaana - MS Raju makes a touching debut
'Vaana' is another of the much hyped films released this season. The very fact that MS Raju has taken to direction with it has provided the intrigue element for this film. A remake of a Kannada film 'Mungaru Male', MS Raju tries his hand at pathos with this love story. Known for his mass entertainers, it is a detour for Raju from his usual brand of filmmaking.

Pourudu - Sumanth does not disappoint
A father who is a dedicated sidekick of a leading don and a son who aspires to be an IAS officer – naturally, it is bound to lead to tensions. 'Pourudu' is a story that takes you through the story of father Pandu (Suman) and son Ajay (Sumanth).

Mee Sreyobhilashi - Few sobs and some laughs
It is a theme that has been dealt with earlier. But it does manage to strike a chord with the audience every time, it is dealt with. Pathos somehow draws viewers. Though some times, sad endings may not always work. So, the best way to tackle such heavy subjects is to treat them in a lighter vein. Mee Sreyobhilashi is one such film.

Anasuya - A perfect multiplex film
The new cinema in India is the multiplex cinema. A genre by itself, it includes all films with a quirky plot and narration. Usually such films do not boast of big cast and ostentatious spending. Instead, their success depends on the narration and the way the script is handled by the director. Bhoomika’s film Anasuya too falls into the same category.

Don(Telugu) - Style sans stuff mars Don
In an industry where superstitions reign supreme, a delayed film usually causes apprehensions. Don has been in the making for a bit too long. However, it was released on the day that Nagarjuna wants his release – December 20. So in that sense, they have balanced out each other. Moving on, there has been a lot of hype about the stylish look that the film would have.

Mantra - A whodunit with Charmme does the trick!

Godava - Misleading title and a lost mission
What happens when an ace director turns producer for his son’s debut film? Well, you would expect a rather scintillating fare. But without sounding too filmi, we can safely say that father’s love seems to have taken over the rational side of a once successful director.

Takkari - A lover boy's tale with a twist
The film’s music is a hit and that is the main draw of this Nitin-Sada love yarn. Then of course, there is the fact that Nitin and Sada had given a hit in Jayam. The pair is seen together on screen after a long time. Ironically, for both Sada and Nitin, this is their first major release this year.

Seema Sastry - A parody of factionism
We have seen some heavy-duty action films based on Rayalaseema factionism. So, the makers have attempted to tone the action a bit and in turn give it a comic touch in keeping with what the audience would expect from Allari Naresh film.

Nava Vasantham - Tarun plays the perfect friend
Deepavali saw mega budget releases in Bollywood with Om Shanti Om and Saawariya. But closer home in Tollywood, there haven’t been any huge releases.

Athidhi - Mahesh back in 'Action'
Lots of hype has worked well for Mahesh Babu’s Athidhi, as the film is a treat for all his fans. There is everything that one can expect from a Mahesh film -- plenty of well choreographed action with amazing visual effects and stunts, sentiment and of course oodles of romance. Post Sainikudu’s debacle, Mahesh plays safe sticking to the mass formula yet again in Athidhi. Only this time, he has a Bo

Toss - Use 'toss' to watch the film
Priyadarshini Ram made his debut through 'Manodu' which could not impress the Telugu audiences.

Satyabhama - Worth watch for family audiences
It is Bhoomika all the way who stole the show with her impressive performance. She did justice to her character by playing the title role. Her histrionics as a chivalrous girl, her expressions in a pensive mood and love scenes were simply superb. Sivaji also did a good job as a hero. All the lead artistes like Chandramohan, Melkote, Brahmanandam, Allari Suhasini and others did well.
