Julaayi Review

Julaayi Review

Behind the Movie Julaayi: The spectacular combination of Allu Arjun, Ileana, Trivikram and Devi Sri Prasad is enough to keep the anticipation so high. Amidst a big hype, movie is released today in theatres. Let us see how far Trivikram has spread his magic?

In the Movie Julaayi: Story begins with Narayana (Tanikella Bharani) depositing the money in Vizag Co-Operative Bank which announces high rate of interests. His son Ravindra Narayana aka Ravi (Allu Arjun) is a big Julayi who believes only in earning short term money with less hard work and more intelligence. To win a challenge with his dad, Ravi plans to go for a kill with IPL cricket betting. Incidentally, he meets the gang of Bittu (Sonu Sodd) who are on a mission to rob Vizag Co-Operative Bank with assistance from Minister Varada Rajulu (Kota). 

The actual story begins here when like-minded Ravi and Bittu start playing the mind game one over the other. While Bittu jumps with looted money of Rs.1500 Crores, Police Officer Raja Manikyam (Rao Ramesh) with the assistance of Ravi chases Bittu and money. The game gets interesting when Ravi kills Bittu’s brother Lala (Shafi). Then Raja Manikyam sends Ravi to Hyderabad for residing in ACP Seetharam (Rajendra Prasad)’s house in order to escape from the revenge of Bittu. Here Ravi falls in love with Madhu (Ileana). How far Police was successful in catching Bittu? When will Ravi get back into the business to save his family, lover and then bringing Rs.1500 Crores back into bank? Who was helping Bittu from the Police department? All these form the rest.

Values of the Movie Julaayi: The core strengths of ‘Julayi’ are the punching dialogues of Trivikram and first rate performance from Bunny. Very concept of Bank robbery will grab the attention of urban viewers and Trivikram’s handling of key scenes was mind blowing. The speed of narration, action and the strong grip maintained by Trivikram in first half was completely missing in second half. Dialogues wise, there are numerous instances where one can’t keep away from breaking the stomach. Even scripting wise, Trivikram could not maintain his mark in second half where direction too has gone bizarre. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is superb for all the songs and most of them are well picturized. Camerawork of Naidu brothers was also stylish and trendy. Pravin Pudi’s editing was absorbing with Hollywood flavor. Radha Krishna and Danayya’s Production values was top notch.

Performance wise, Allu Arjun was oozing with energy. His comedy timing needs special applause. In dances and action scenes, as usual Bunny was perfect. His romance with Ileana was refreshing. However, the skeleton or zero sized look of Ileana was disappointing. After a very long time Rajendra Prasad got a meaty role in commercial cinema and he became the major asset of ‘Julaayi.’ Not to forget MS Narayana, Brahmanandam who took the fun quotient very high. Villainy of Sonu Sood was regular and his partner Devayani (Sheetal Menon) was hot. While Shafi, Kota and Rao Ramesh roles were ended pitifully, the characters of Dharmavarapu, Brahmaji, Tanikella, Pragathi, Hema, Tulasi etc did their part well. Udayabhanu shined a while in the title song.

Out of the Movie Julaayi: Concepts like Bank robberies need to be quite engaging throughout. Trivikram was successful in mixing entertaining comedy and energetic songs at right doses into the script. Meanwhile, the kind of dedication and soul he put into the first half was not visible in second half. When the conflict of Bunny Vs Sonu is the thin/core concept of story, screenplay and direction needs to have been further more sharpened. Trivikram lost his grip in second half throwing logics to air and went on for mere gap filling. In fact pre-climax was more attacking than the funny climax.

Compared to past few dud projects of Bunny, surely ‘Julaayi’ is a sigh of relief. Trivikram has also put his soul and sweat in making of this project. Audience will easily trace out the shades of ‘Jalsa’ and ‘Athadu’ still haunting this director. Movie would have definitely worked wonders, if the same magic of first half is repeated in second half. In particular, first half was full of acceleration filled with amazing episodes sprinkling humor, action and a clever word play. The latter part which makes audience to anticipate on well execution of mind games between the protagonist and antagonist, the graph falls down consistently to end with an overall above average feel.    

Logically, movie might work well in urban centers compared to B & C. With huge number of screens allotted for first week and no big threats in opposition, there is every possibility of ‘Julaayi’ to score big at BO. One has to wait and see how far audience can digest this kind of stylish concepts and especially the second half.

Cinejosh Verdict of Julaayi: Excellent First Half – Exhaustive Second Half.

Movie review: Julayi

Movie review: Julayi

  • The most anticipated Telugu movie of 2012, Julayi is in no way different from director Trivikram Srinivas's earlier works. The romantic comedy revolves around Ravindra Narayan (played by Allu Arjun) who comes to know about Bittu's (Sonu Sood) plans to rob a bank and gets him arrested. Ravindra shifts to Hyderabad where he meets Madhu (portrayed by Ileana D'Cruz) and falls in love with her. The plot takes a twist when Bittu is released from jail, bent on revenge.
  • Allu Arjun has delivered an outstanding performance. He not only succeeds in impressing the viewers with his acting and dancing skills, but also does a good job in imitating actors like NTR, ANR, Krishna, Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh and Pawan Kalyan in the song Mee Intiki Mundo Gate. He is the main attraction of the film without doubt.
  • Actress Ileana D'Cruz adds to the glamour quotient while Sonu Sood's villainy is appealing and energetic.
  • Brahmanandam, Ali, MS Narayana and Tanikella Bharani impress with praiseworthy comic timing.
  • The cinematography by Chota K Naidu and Shyam K Naidu has captured the picturesque locales in a beautiful manner and Devi Sri Prasad's music is commendable.
  • Overall, the movie caters to all ages. Watch the movie for its witty dialogues and energetic performances.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun has hit the screens today with ‘Julayi’. The film has Ileana as the heroine and Trivikram Srinivas is the director. The movie has been released today in a big way and a lot is riding on the film for both Allu Arjun and Trivikram. Let us see how the movie is.

Ravindra Narain (Allu Arjun) is a very smart guy who believes in making quick money. His father Narayana Murthy (Tanikella Bharani) is against this attitude and believes in hard work. Ravi crosses the path of Bittoo (Sonu Sood) accidentally, while the latter is about to commit a bank robbery to the tune of 1500 Crores. An alert Ravi teams up with Police Commissioner Raja Manikyam (Rao Ramesh) and apprehends Bittoo. This infuriates Bittoo and he swears revenge on Ravi.

A concerned Raja Manikyam sends Ravi off to Hyderabad under a witness protection program. He asks Ravi to stay in the house of his friend,ACP Sitaram (Rajendra Prasad). In Hyderabad, Ravi comes across Madhu (Ileana) and falls in love with her. While this is unfolding, Bittoo makes his own plans to extract revenge. He works with MLA Varadarajulu (Kota Srinivasa Rao) and Travels Murthy (Brahmaji) to achieve his objective.

The rest of the story is about how Ravi and Bittoo face off. Who wins in the end? What happens to Ravi’s love story? That needs to be seen on the big screen.

Plus Points :

Allu Arjun is at his energetic and stylish best in the film. His costumes are cool and his mannerisms are nice. Arjun has used Trivikram’s punch dialogues well. He has performed well in the fight sequences and his dances are brilliant as always. Once again, Allu Arjun shows why he is regarded as one of the best dancers in the industry.

Ileana looks great and has a good romantic track with Allu Arjun in the first half. Her performance has shades from her role in “Jalsa’. Rajendra Prasad is classy and shows yet again why he is such a highly respected actor. He is brilliant as ACP Sitaram. Kota Srinivasa Rao is good.

M.S.Narayana brings about a few laughs. Brahmanandam rocks as thief Brahmam. He has a brilliant episode in the second half with Hema and his mannerisms there are howlarious. Sonu Sood is good as Bittoo and he excels in both the villainous episodes as well as in funny episodes towards the climax. Brahmaji and Tanikella Bharani are alright. Rao Ramesh is decent.

Trivikram’s dialogues deserve special mention. They are outstanding and are used to great effect in the first half. The pace of the first half is very good, and the movie just breezes by with some good Trivikram mark comedy. Songs have been choreographed nicely and they gel with the tempo in the first half.

Ali and Posani make cameo appearances and they are good.

Minus Points :

The second half is a letdown when compared to the first half. The pace of the narration dips a bit. When Trivikram is at the helm, audiences expect stylish and well shot fight sequences. In Julayi, the fight sequences tend to be a little over the top . Cars crashing into each other unrealistically and Scorpios flying are not what we expect from you Trivikram sir.

Romantic track with Ileana has been left incomplete and it has not been properly tied up. Dharmavarapu is routine.

Comedy in the second half may not be easily understood by B and C center crowds as it is subtle. Also, there are some unrealistic aspects in the story line. Allu Arjun behaves like an extra constitutional authority throughout the movie. He keeps accompanying police officers and shoots criminals on the road in broad daylight. Why does the police department put up with it even though Rajendra Prasad is an ACP?

The climax sequence is routine and some of the scenes are again unrealistic. Perhaps Trivikram wanted to play to the masses. The placement of the songs in the second half could have been better.

Technical Aspects :

Cinematography is good . Editing is neat in the first half but it could have been better in the second half. Choreography is neat. Trivikram has done a good job in the first half as a director. He could have done better in the second half. As a dialogue writer though, Trivikram scores full marks. The dialogues explode like bullets and they will strike a chord with urban movie lovers.

Devi Sri Prasad’s music is good and background score is decent.

Julayi has a great first half going for it. Trivikram’s stamp can be seen all over it and this half makes for some great entertainment. A slightly below par second half and unnecessarily over the top sequences spoil the flavour a bit. Still, Julayi is a good watch overall. Allu Arjun and Rajendra Prasad excel in this film and you can happily catch Julayi just for them. From a commercial perspective, we have to wait and see how the movie scores in B and C centers as mass crowds might not understand some of the subtler elements in the film.

'Attarintiki Daredi' Review: Runs On Pawan Mania

'Attarintiki Daredi' Review: Runs On Pawan Mania

Film: Attarintiki Daredi Rating: 3.5/5 Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Samantha, Praneeta, Nadiya, Rao Ramesh, MS Narayana, Posani, Prithvi, Sameer, Brahmaji, Sivannarayana, Raghu Babu, Ali, Kota, Brahmanandam etc Music: Devi Sri Prasad Action: Peter Heins Producer: BVSN Prasad Director: Trivikram Srinivas Released on: 27th Sep 2013

Pawan Kalyan, after the super block buster hit ‘Gabbar Singh’ and crowd pulling film ‘CGR’; and Trivikram Srinivas after delivering another super hit ‘Julayi’ have come together with ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ today. This actor-director duo has earlier given a massive hit ‘Jalsa’.  ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ has quivered the websites and TV channels a few days ago with piracy news and hence it was released in an emergency. Let us get into ins and outs of the film.

Story: Gautam Nanda (Pawan Kalyan) is the grandson of a rich man (Boman Irani). The Nandas are the business tycoons in Milan, Italy. 80 year old Nanda asks Gautam to get back his daughter whom he necked out years ago for marrying a man not of his financial standard.  Recalling the memories of his daughter, he asks Gautam to get her as a birthday gift for him.

Thus Gautam finds a mission to get back his aunt (Nadiya), the daughter of his grandfather and sister of his father (Mukesh Rishi).  He starts his journey in search of Attarintiki Dari!

As Gautam lands in India, he attempts to get close to the family of his aunt hiding his identity. He changes his name as Siddhu and joins them as a driver. One of the daughters of his aunt Samantha falls in love with Gautam alias Siddhu. On the other hand Gautam supports and protects both his aunt and uncle (Rao Ramesh) from conspirers those wish to conquer their business.

Finally, if Gautam will be successful in bringing back his aunt to his grandfather forms rest of the story.

Performances: Pawan Kalyan as usual a powerful crowd puller appeared with right grace and glory. He performed jovially with his trade mark dialogue delivery. The dances were not so complicated but just pleasant. In Bapugari Bomma song he dances wearing lungi receiving claps from masses.

Praneeta is beautiful with her big eyes. But she didn’t came out from her over expressiveness.

Samantha is cute and up to the requirement.

MS Narayana is ok but he must have been used more efficiently. Ali’s part brings laughs. Posani is impressive with his mass pulling appearance. His style of dialogues like, ‘nenemanna Benhur cinemani burra kathagaa chebuthunnaanaa?” bring guffaws from front benchers.

Raghu Babu is perfect in his role and Rao Ramesh could deliver right performance in right degree. Above all, Nadiya, the main actress in the film turns the heads of all with her beautiful screen presence and apt performance.

Brahmanandam brings laughs in 2nd half but some scenes on him became too lengthy. Kota is reasonable.

Highlights:

  • Pawan Kalyan
  • Some ameteurish scenes with excessive cinematic liberties
  • A few scenes in second half 

Analysis: The title “Attarintiki Daredi” has the power to pull the family crowds. At the same time the content in it is appealing equally good for mass audience. Thus it stood as a product with right blend of elements those entertain both families and masses.  

Trivikram’s pen that has huge expectations met the requirement but gone overboard in some parts.  It being Pawan Kalyan’s film audiences do expect more and more from his pen. Though there are some just normal sparks here and there with respect to his dialogues in 1st half, he has shown his true mettle all over. But some dialogues and scenes where Pawan Kalyan orders to purchase the Railway Station are not in tune with the maturity levels of Trivikram. Though such scenes were conceived to show how rich the protagonist is, they are not convincing. Simlarly Ahalya-Gautamudu rehearsal scene on Brahmi-Pawan-Samantha and Ali is lengthy and boring. 

"Simham podukundi kadaa ani joolutho jada veyakoodadu raa..ade puli palakarinchindi kadaa ani pakkana nilabadi photo digaalanukokoodadu roi" is one dialogue that got huge applause equally good as it got in trailer. And some other such dialogues are:-

"Paamu paradhyananga undi kadaani padaga meeda kaaleyyakoodadu roi"

"Nenu simham laantonnabba..adi geddam geesukoledu. Nenu geesukogalanu. Anthe tedaa".

Another dialogue, “Ramudu samduram daggaraki vellaaka bridge elaa kattalo plan chesadu kaani, adivilo koorchuni plan geesukuni samduram daggariki raledu” is another line that worked well in theatre situationally.

A scene in which Pawan Kalyan imitating Mohan Babu and in another scene Pawan’s character behaving as if he doesn’t know who Chiranjeevi is brought claps and shouts instantly but especially the latter scene may remain as controversy element down the line. The scene with Chiru goes like this:

Seeing a scene from Chiranjeevi’s Gang Leader on TV, the conversation between Pawan and MS goes like this:-

Pawan: "eeyana evaru?" MS: "Chiranjeevi ani.." Pawan: "Acting baane chesthunnaadu. Ippudem chesthunnaaru?" MS: "maanesaaru sir" Pawan : "Yenduku?" MS: "vaallabbayi chesthunnaadu"

And some naughty scenes where Pawan unzips Samantha and Samantha saying, “Thinnadanthaa ikkadike potondi” holding her butt do attract masses but keeps family audiences in awe. But every thing passes without any quip due to Pawan’s aspect. 

And coming to the music part, all the songs are impressive. ‘Bapu gari Bomma’ entertains family crowds and ‘Ori Devudo’pulls the attention of masses. 'Ninnu choodagane' stands as highlight. 'Kevvu keka' parody entertains Pawan fans.

Peter Heins’ action episodes are interesting if looked at understanding cinematic liberties.

First half runs hilarious while the sentiment and right tempo builds in second half along with a few boring moments. Pawan's performance in the climax is impressive. 

On a whole, Attarintiki Daredi will be an entertaining film when entered into theatres with average expectations.

Bottom Line: Family and mass entertainer

  2. Julayi Movie Review

    Movie Review: Julayi is essentially a transformation story of how an aimless young man, Ravi comes of age. The transformation unfolds in a thrill minute, six-song, countless fights interspersed with witty one-liners package. The movie begins with a rather elaborate bank heist sequence that sets the tempo for the rest of the movie.

    Let it be told at the outset that Julayi is far from being either a romance or a laugh riot. The film becomes mediocre whenever Illeana, Brahmanandam, MS Narayana or Rajendra Prasad enters the scene.
