The day has come. 21st Dec 2012- Not exactly but on movie screen today. For all those who believe in ‘Judgement Day’ or ‘Apocalypse’ ‘ Or End of the world’, this is one movie that might give you an inkling. How effective and convincing is it? Let us see…
Story
The much talked about Doomsday or end of the world has been predicted and while all developed nations of the world think it is a long time away, the Indian astrophysicist Satnam (Jimi) discovers that the end is quite near.
The news reaches even the President of US, Wilson (Danny Glover) and all key leaders in the world are alerted about it. Meanwhile, there is writer Jack Curtis (John) who is out on vacation with his children and before it actually begins, the fury of the planet begins to unfold.
Who survives the massacre? What happens after that? All this forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
John Cusack
He did his role as required and though he doesn’t have that tough guy image, he tried his best to fit in the role of a concerned father.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
He plays a key role and though he was not that effective during the emotional scenes, he managed to make his presence felt in other sequences.
Amanda Peet
Looks hot and sexy and though there is no room for glamour here and she plays the mother of two, her oomph factor is neat and she has delivered a good performance.
Others
Thandie Newton was alright, Danny Glover was decent, Woody Harrelson was a wreck, Oliver Platt did justice to his bit, Thomas Mc Carthy was evil enough, Beatrice Rosen was sexy to the core. The others did their bit as required.
Highlights of the movie:
Collapse of Lincoln Memorial Tower
Fall of Vatican City
Breaking statue of Jesus @ Rio De Jenero
Himalayas melting into sea
Volcanic eruptions
Earthquakes digging the roads and houses in California
Big ship episode
Analysis:
It is the most hyped movie from the past few months and entire world has been more worried, anxious and longing to watch what’s shown on silver screen. The myriad blogs, web portals and TV shows those have been active from many months have turned a default publicity agents for this movie that has released today.
The film didn’t convey anything concrete about Mayan Calendar or about prophesies of clairvoyant sages those had delivered about this 2012 dooms day. The maker has directly moved to the catastrophe that’s going to happen in the form of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions et al and their unbelievable impact on life on earth.
The writer has taken a leaf from Old Testament and created a Noah ship kind of thing called ‘Big Ship’ to save human race to make the new age begin after the doom. The date of new age is read 27th of Dec 0001. This entire episode runs on screen for about last 20 minutes.
It’s like any other Hollywood movie like ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ but with intense scenes and thrilling moments.
Bottom Line: Watch it for a wonderful experience
Explaining why Prasad travelled with her, the actress says, “ The report claimed that he stayed with me in the same hotel in an adjacent room. But that is because I’m now working on several projects and I need to stay fit. In fact, for one of my films, I have to reduce nine kg. For this, I need to work out for at least a couple of hours everyday in the morning before I leave for shooting. As I’m busy and travelling, my trainer travels along with me. If Prasad stays at a different hotel, he could be delayed and I wouldn’t be able to begin my work out at 5 am. That is the reason he stays in the same hotel.”
Currently, the Bollywood circuit is getting heated up due to the spat between the legendary actor Om Puri and his journalist wife Nandita Puri as the latter had written about her husband’s sexual escapades in the biography. She wrote that her husband had sexual trysts with servant maid and many more in his life so far.
However, there is another version which seems to be making strong rounds.
Apparently, sources say that all this is a publicity stunt which the couple have resorted to and reveal that it is Om who gave the advice and is now creating trouble. They also add that the couple is making gossip sound like fact and that way building publicity mileage for the book.
However, those close to the actor have quashed this as a baseless rumor and say that given his fame and status, they don’t have to resort to such things. While the debate is on regarding the authenticity of the controversy, money sure seems to be flowing in for the couple due to the sexuality of the book.
It seems that piracy CDs are being sold at Rs 15 and that too of latest flicks like ‘Arya 2’. Surprisingly, there is also a combo pack which has audio of big movies like ‘Magadheera, Ek Niranjan, Billa, Arya 2’ and all this is got for just fifteen rupees.
If this is how things are going on then one can imagine the kind of impact it has on the film makers who spend crores of rupees on the projects. It is about time the authorities put an iron foot on this else the day is not far when Tollywood would suffer very dearly due to its mistakes, say few concerned members.
Film: Kurradu
Rating: 2.5/5
Banner: Anandhi arts
Cast: Varun Sandesh, Neha Sharma, Tanikella, Ravi Shankar, Venu, Ali, Surekha Vani, Pragathi etc
Music: Achchu
Story: Vetri Maran
Cinematography: Sarvesh Murari
Director: Gunnam Sandeep
Producer: Gemini Kiran
Release date: 12 Nov 2009
Varun Sandesh has been on top ever since his Happy Days. His Kotha Bangaru Lokam also had set a new record and thus he became a youth icon. He came up with Kurradu and obviously the expectations will be above the plane. Let us see how this worked.
Story:
Varun (Varun Sandesh) is a young boy who loves owning a sports bike. But his below middle class family background turns a barricade to fulfill his dream. His poor father (Tanikella Bharani) worries about his day-dreaming and irresponsible son. But after a dramatic incident his father gives him Rs 70000 to purchase bike out of his all life time savings. Varun buys a bike and enjoys. He finds a girl Hema (Neha Sharma) and both fall in love. But that bike results in turbulence in Varun’s life. What is that? That has to be seen on big screen.
Performances:
Varun Sandesh looked lean and lanky and he didn’t suit for the energy levels required for the role. He needs to upgrade his dialogue delivery pattern especially while portraying the roles of this kind.
Neha Sharma looked good with naughty smile and big eyes. But she hasn’t upgraded in the matter of performance. Many of her expressions sounded artificial and sometimes lagging in dialogue.
Tanikella Bharani is ok as middle class father while Pragathi is perfect in mother role. Ravi Shankar, the popular dubbing artiste played the lead villain role in fitting manner.
Others are ok.
Technically, the movie has no big thing to discuss about. The story sounds not so great as already ‘Ride’ has come on screen with similar theme.
Highlights:
Nothing notable
Analysis:
It’s a different version of ‘Ride’. It is also inspired from the Tamil movie ‘Polladavan’. But Pollavadan has already inspired Ride. While Ride has two heroes where one is arrogant and other is the one with poor background, here the hero in Kurradu possessess both in him. The bike forms common element both in Ride and Kurradu.
On a whole, the movie has no tempo that keeps audience fix on to seats with interest. First half is ok while second half seems to have run with no punch and required emotion.
The movie may not appeal in the way it’s expected.
Bottom Line: It can be watched only to kill time if you feel that’s Hobson’s choice.
Also starring Sandhya, Lakshmi Rai and Padmapriya in lead roles, this one said to be a Western adventure comedy film.
Imagine Larencce in that cowboy costume, riding horses and with that carefree rough-tough attitude...
Unlike Charan, Lawrence seems to be new to horse-riding. So, the director wanted him to learn the sport first. Sources from the crew said that Larencce, Sai Kumar, Ilavarasu, Viyapuri and Sams learnt horse riding everyday in the morning in beach. Lakshmi Rai learnt the act during the time she gets between the shots and has done a great job!
Looks like this one will have a story that happens in the 18th century and will have the flavour of Mexico. No sarees or dhotis in this one.
Should say that these flicks of this genre are different from the regular stuff!
Apparently so serious is Surya to make a perfect Bollywood debut, that he has gone ahead and hired a tutor to improve his diction in Hindi. RGV must be so proud of him.
Apart from Surya, actor Vivek Oberoi is also to be seen in this flick in the role of gangster Paritala Ravi. Rakht Charitra is expected to go on floors from February 2010.
