Ontari Movie Review

Story:
The story runs in two parallel threads moving back &forth to flaskback and present
Flashback mode..
Vamsi(Gopichand)is the younger son of Mudhukrishna rao(Paruchuri Venkateswara rao)and he is a happy go lucky guy.He has two close friends Subbu(Sunil)and MLA Raghava(Rajeev Kanakala).One fine day Vamsi comes across a beautiful,innocent&too good girl Bujji(Bhavana)and falls in love with her at the first sight.He dupes her as a CBI officer and meets her daily in the name of interrogation.
Present mode..
Vamsi's family is hiding in a remote village on the bank of Godavari and Vamsi seeks revenge on Lal Mahankali(Asish Vidyardhi)and his gang.Vamsi also kills his own friend MLA Raghava(now minister Raghava) brutally on a road.Why this lover boy turned into a serial killer forms the rest of the story.

Highlights:
Gopichand rocks as a lover boy turned avenger.Gopichand carries the entire film on his shoulders with his superb performance.
Heroine character is very good.Bhavana looks cute and performed well.
First half especially the love story is very interesting.
Cinematography(Sarvesh Murari) is good.Music (Manisarma)is Ok.
Dialogues(Marudhuri Raja,Bhasha sri)are good at parts(comic oneliners)
This is a pakka commercial film from the Eetaram films sans any social message and this is a much better film from director Ramana compared to his earlier films.

Sidelights:
The movie moves back and forth too many times.
First half is good as a perfect package of entertainment,love&action with enough suspense but the Second half is not upto the mark though it is fine in the climax.
Schizophrenic behavior of hero talking to the illusionistic charecter of heroine till the end may irk some sections of the audience and also they might be disappointed for the unhappy ending.

Public Talk: bane undhi.watch it for Gopichand
Industry Talk: Commercially successful movie.If the second half goes well with the masses it will reach the range of Lakshyam.

In the climax, Sunil Sharma finally manages to sideline Kota and gets within striking distance of the chief minister's chair.
However to the surprise of everyone, Sunil Sharma relinquishes the chair. He gives a reason for this by saying, "How can a person who neglects his daughter and does not take care about her, could look after people's problems sitting in the post of Chief Minister?
Many among the audience were seen shouting Chiranjeevi and Srija! This is an obvious reference to Chiranjeevi's daughter Srija's love marriage. She ran away from home and got married with her lover. Chiranjeevi could not do anything about it except remaining like a mute spectator. In fact she is not entertained by Chiranjeevi after her marriage.

Visakha Express Movie Review

Film- Vishak Express
Starring- Rajiv Kanakala, Allari Naresh, Kota Sreenivas Rao etc.
Music by- Kurakula Vijay
Directed by- Mullapudi Vara
Screen Play- Yeleti Chandra Shekar
Release date-8th February 2008

Story:-.
Two young men ( Rajiv Kanakala & Allari Naresh ) meet in Vizag express and introduce each other. E parichayam Mandhu varaku veluthundhi and they start discussing ,they come to an understanding in their discussion that Rajiv should kill Naresh’s wife and Naresh should kill Rahiv’s father. Both of them have their own reasons for such agreement.
Two days later, Rajiv’s father Kota Sreenivas Rao gets murdered. That murder case comes on to Rajiv. In the mean time, Rajiv comes to know that Naresh killed his father.
There after Allari Naresh goes after Rajiv asking him to kill his wife as for the agreement. But Rajiv denies that agreement and says ’I made that agreement when I was drunken mood. I can’t kill your wife’
Naresh starts blackmailing Rajiv that he will produce the evidence to that police, that Rajiv killed his father.
Why Naresh wants to kill his wife and what the reason for selecting Rajiv for this purpose must be watched on the screen.

Performances-
Allari Naresh played negative role and he had lot scope to perform. Naresh has done good job. Rajiv‘s role is length enough but nothing much to perform.
Kota Sreenivas rao played drunkard role; we can simply say he lived in that role; he gets sympathy from audiences when he dies. And Preeti and Narsing Yadav have done justice to their roles.
The story is good but Chandra Shekar Yeleti screenplay failed to get the attention of the audiences in the first half. We can appreciate Yeleti for his job in the second half. Lack comedy is a big minus point
Vijay Kurakula’s music gets average marks.
The film runs in a very interesting fashion and the fast half is very racy. It is as if we are hardly half an hour into the film but it is already intermission. Such is the effect of good screenplay.
The film drags just a bit in the second half and a song obstructs the pace of the film. But the film never bores you at any point of time, even for a second.
Finally, it is a good film. Watchable once. On a whole, the future of this film depends on how the youth audiences receive it.
