Movie Review | Ginna: With Vishnu Manchu’s unmatchable comic timing Ginna is praiseworthy, hilarious
The film revolves around Ginna (Manchu Vishnu), who runs a tent house business in Chittoor district. He is a dreamer and is not very smart either. Despite his on-job shenanigans and capacity for disasters, Ginna is essentially a good person, but his greed always gets the better of him.
There is another track in the film. Ginna has two best childhood friends – Swathi (Payal), who is in love with him, and Renuka (Sunny), who left India but returns after 15 long years to reconnect with her friends.
Now, Ginna, who is down in financial dumps, makes a plan to exploit his US-returned friend Renuka, who just happens to harbour a secret. And soon, strange things begin to emerge, which forces Ginna to investigate Renuka’s scary past. What does Ginna learn in the process forms the crux of the story.

ReviewTrivikram and Pawan Kalyan team up for the third time to deliver an entertainer that works in parts.Karthik KeramaluAgnyaathavaasi is not just another January release. It is Pawan Kalyan’s 25th film and his third film with director Trivikram. A milestone of sorts for the actor and the director, the film will (also releasing around the time of Sankranti) is a festival for the star’s fans. The movie is said to be based on the 2008 French film Largo Winch. I haven’t watched the French original, but the plotline of the movie in the Wikipedia page has helped me connect the threads between the source material and today’s release which goes with the tagline “Prince in Exile”. Trivikram’s title and tagline are more than enough to understand Pawan’s role in Agnyaathavaasi. With Boman Irani and Pawan reuniting on-screen after Attarintiki Daredi, and the sentiments related to family bonding resounding through the film, it’s easy to draw parallels between both films. If Brahmanandam was made a scapegoat in Ad and beaten up by Pawan to teach him a lesson, Raghu Babu ends up with the welt marks here. (Likewise, Ad's “Kaatama Rayuda” is Agnyaathavaasi’s “Kodaka Koteswara Rao”). Well, Raghu Babu’s character does deserve to be ill-treated, since he slaps his female co-workers’ butts all the time. This is, perhaps, the right time to push the #MeToo movement further with such scenes and situations in Telugu cinema. However, I don’t understand the power they add to the story of a person who’s looking for the killers of his dad and brother. There’s absolutely no rhyme or rhythm to those over-the-top fun moments in this movie. The Ramesh-Suresh-like comedy (from the 5 Star commercials) involving Rao Ramesh’s Varma and Murali Sharma’s Sharma does bring some laughs. Still, I feel, they belong to another movie since their characters don’t get the required space to stretch their minds and words as Agnyaathavaasi isn’t about them. This isn’t the sort of “beauty” one expects from the house of Trivikram. Slapstick humour has entirely turned into a slap-fest. Are the audiences supposed to laugh for slaps? Haven’t we moved on from that phase yet? After all these clichéd pricks, I was waiting for that emotional boulder that Trivikram rolled over us in Ad. The climactic embrace featuring Kushboo’s Indrani Bhargav and Pawan’s Abhisikth Bhargav misses that mark easily by a mile-and-a-half at least. I could see mere tears on their faces, and not the combination of grief and satisfaction as it should have been. Trivikram is a rare writer in Telugu cinema as nobody else dials up the beauty quotient of the language the way he does. His dialogues are always a pleasure to listen to. His word-play from Nuvvu Naaku Nachav to Agnyaathavaasi has improved over the years and the beneficiaries (us, of course) are glad about it. A particular line about how people lust after others’ money works greatly, and I instantly realized that there’s no other dialogue (or scene) that can explain the reason for Abhisikth Bhargav becoming the “prince in exile”. Even for a writer of such brilliance, handling female characters is a bit of a problem, I guess. Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel present pretty pictures of themselves. They are all dolled-up and appear in romantic songs (whose lyrics are heartwarming). Thankfully, they have a few lines to mouth. It would have been a letdown in that department, too, otherwise. The hero introduction scene where Pawan sits down for a second to collect his thoughts before he begins to throw punches on people who look like extras from Khal Drogo’s (Game of Thrones) army is whistle-worthy. Though the stylized action choreography doesn’t match the energy of the first scene, it, nevertheless, holds up. And, the other crew-member who’s going to walk away with all the glory is composer Anirudh. His score put me in the right mood for two-and-a-half-hours. Ps: I’d like to know what happened to Sampath’s character – Acp. He went back in time and gave us a history lesson on Govinda Bhargav’s family, and thereafter he disappeared. Did Trivikram not care enough to give him a parting shot? Disclaimer: This review was not paid for or commissioned by anyone associated with the film. Neither Tnm nor any of its reviewers have any sort of business relationship with the film's producers or any other members of its cast and crew.

Movie Review: "Dhamarukam"; Director: Sreenivass Reddie; Star Cast: Akkineni Nagarjuna, Anushka Shetty, Prakash Raj, Ravi Shankar, Ganesh Venkatraman, Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu, M.S Narayana and Krishna Bhagwan; Rating: **1/2 - stretched and narratively lackluster.
In a desperate attempt to marry socio?fantasy with modern day fiction, director Sreenivass Reddie doesn't inspire with his partly visually pleasing picture "Dhamarukam", which happens to be stretched and dreary overall.
The film presents itself as the frontrunner in the graphics department, but sadly it isn't. After its makers spent nearly two years on the output,.

Chennai, Nov 17: Telugu director C.S.R. Krishnan, who is awaiting the release of upcoming comedy?thriller "Bakara", feels there's a need for films that can make audience socially conscious.
"Most of the times, films are a reflection of the society we live in. But, sadly we resort to showing only what is entertaining and crowd?appealing, and refrain from showing reality. We need more films that will make us socially responsible," Krishnan told Ians.
Krishnan's "Bakara", a satirical take on how people are conned in our society on a daily basis, stars Sri Hari, Yashika, Brahmanandam, M.S. Narayana, Raghu Babu, Duvvasi Mohan and Kallu.

Movie: 'Daggaraga Dooranga'; Cast: Sumanth, Vedhika, Sindhu Tholani, Brahmanandam, Krishna Bhagawan, Sathyam Rajesh, Raghu Babu; Producer: Y. Sambhashiva Rao; Story-Screenplay-Direction: Ravi Chawali; Music: Raghu Kunche; Camera: Surendra Reddy; Rating: ** - just ordinary.
'Daggaraga Dooranga' created a little interest after its promos were out. The film was described as a thriller in the backdrop of terrorism which had raised expectations about the film. But the film ends up as one more ordinary fare, despite Sumanth's strenuous efforts to lift it.
The film's main villain is Ravi Chawali.

[1] As the year comes to an end, anybody and everybody are posting their best of the year lists. Most of these lists contain variations of the same 15 or 20 films. To break the mold, some are even posting lists of the best films of the year that you probably haven't seen. I find that even these lists are filled with the same movies. And if you're a film geek reading a site like /Film, chances are you know about most of the movies on these lists. I wanted to do something different and compile a list of the best films of the year that you've never heard of. The selections should be movies that (for the most part) none of your family or friends have heard of, and you might even have to do some extra legwork to get your hands on. It is not an easy task. Even though we...

She has been a top heroine of Telugu and Tamil movies and the success of ‘Arundhati’ has skyrocketed her stature in the industry. Her recent film ‘Panchakshari’ is largely influenced by ‘Arundhati’ in the way the script has been written and the way incidents of the past mix with the present.

Film: ‘Vedam’; Director: Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi (Krish); Cast: Allu Arjun, Manchu Manoj, Anushka, Deeksha Seth, Lekha Washington, Manoj Bajpai, Nagayya and Raghu Babu; Music: M.M. Keervaani; Rating: ****
In the dreamy world of Telugu films, where commercial stereotypes have become the order of the day, director Krish has tried to bring in some freshness through ‘Vedam’.
Krish, who made a mark with his first film ‘Gamyam’, has clearly proved that his first success was not a flash in the pan. In fact ‘Vedam’ goes one step ahead of ‘Gamyam’ and stands out for its excellent screenplay, taut narration.
