The combination of Venkatesh and Trisha is enough to generate interest and also provide the recipe for success. The hit pair is back once again. This time it is with a remake film. Bodyguard is a remake of the Malayalam film. Let us see if the director has made any changes or remained loyal to the original story.

Story

The story begins with Tanikella Bharani, the owner of a private security firm sending Venkatadri (Venkatesh) to work as the Bodyguard of Prakash Raj. Venkatadri readily agrees as Prakash Raj had saved his life and that of his mother when they met with an accident during his childhood.

Venkatadri lands up in the village of Prakash Raj. Soon he learns that the real threat is not to Prakash Raj but his daughter Keerthi. Kota Srinivasa Rao and his son are after the life of Keerthi in order to take revenge for the death of Kota’s son.

Prakash Raj sends the Bodyguard to safeguard his daughter Keerthi who is studying in a college in the city. Swathi (Saloni) and Ali accompany Keerthi and Bodyguard. Keerthi cannot stand the Bodyguard following her all the time. She plays a prank on him in order to disturb him and hopes that this will keep him of her back. She keeps calling him up and telling him that she loves him.

Bodyguard is an innocent guy who believes that a girl is really in love with him. In a sudden twist, Keerthi starts loving the Bodyguard for his sincerity and honesty. She however does not reveal this to him and continues to call him in the name of ‘Bangaram’.

Venkatadri has the highest regard for Prakash Raj and so Keerthi is sure that he will never marry her if he learns that she is the one who has been calling him and proposing love. When Keerthi’s marriage is fixed with Subba Raju she has no other option but to take a firm decision. She plans to elope with Venkatadri but is not sure if he will agree.

Meanwhile Prakash Raj learns that Venkatadri is running away with his daughter but it is not the case as Venkatadri does not know the identity of the caller. What happens next? Will Keerthi elope with Venkatadri? Or will Prakash Raj kill Venkatadri. This is the suspense element that unfolds on the screen in the remaining part of the story.

Performance:

Venkatesh is cool and stylish. He does a perfect job. His comedy timing too is perfect. Trisha looks good and she makes a good pair with Venkatesh. The two come up with another winning performance. Saloni is okay. Ali is a little subdued. Prakash Raj and Kota are their usual self. Subba Raju, Tanikella Bharani and others have brief roles and they do justice to their roles.

Positive

Venkatesh
Trisha
Story and Screenplay
Music

Negative

Slow pace
Comedy not up to the expected levels
Director sticks to the original Malayalam film with no effort to add something new

Verdict

The film Bodyguard is a simple but decent love story with enough commercial ingredients to appeal to all sections of the audience. The film makes for a decent watch during this festive season. Venkatesh has not disappointed his fans and he is back on a winning track.

Nandeeswarudu Movie Review

Nandeeswarudu Telugu Movie Review, Rating, Film Review: Nandamuri Taraka Ratna, who has been trying to register his first hit ever since he made his debut, is back here with Nandeeswarudu. It is a remake of Kannada hit Deadly Soma and Taraka Ratna has high hopes on this film to give him the first taste of success. Here’s the review for you…

Story:

Nandu (Taraka Ratna) is an obedient son to his father Ananda Bhupati (Suman), who is rich and respected in their village. Nandu wants to study IPS, but gets into a fight with Baba (Ajay), which changes his life forever. He gets arrested and sent to prison, and a result he would be out of the college and his home as well. Nandu turns Nandeeswarudu and starts helping the needy. A police officer (Jagapathi Babu) is after him and how Nandeeswarudu eliminates all the evil from the city forms rest of the story.

Analysis:

Don’t know what worked in the favor of this story in Kannada. The plot offers nothing new as it is like every other so called action film targeted at mass audience. Nandeeswarudu is filled with severed body parts and endless bloodshed.

There is absolutely any story in the film. Only thing that hero does is going on an endless punishment spree. He separates arms, legs and heads from human bodies leaving us with a sore feeling on the festival day. This film is definitely not for the festive audience.Nandeeswarudu maybe liked by audience who crave to see blood bath on the silver screen. Direction is pretty bad and screenplay doesn’t have anything to offer. Taraka Ratna should not bank on such films as these don’t work anymore. He should give importance to the script and should depend on a director with substance.

Sadly, this is yet another blunder from his side and probably will end up as another disappointment is his track record.

Performances:  

Taraka Ratna is just Okay in the lead role. His dances and fights are average and his acting is not up to the mark in so called mass masala scenes. His expressions lacked the ferocity and he is hardly deadly as the protagonist.

Sheena tried to sprinkle some glamour in the songs. She doesn’t have any significant role to play in the movie. Jagapathi Babu is alright as the sincere-strict-chocolate-eating-cop. Ajay is fine and Rajeev Kanakala is usual. Suman and Seetha’s roles aren’t developed well.
Technicalities:

Paruchuri Brothers work disappoints. There is nothing mentionable about the technical crew. Everyone failed in their respective departments. Music is loud and painful. Editing is jerky. Photography is jaded. Director Srinivas Yarajala comes up with a shoddy work. This will easily rank amongst the bad films that are released in the recent past. If there is one person to blame for this absolutely meaningless film, that would be this man, the director.

Final Word:

Nandeeswarudu is aimed at C center audience and we are afraid that even they won’t be satisfied with purposeless mass film with loads of gore and bloodshed. Also there is serious threat from the heavyweights like Businessman and Bodyguard. Nandeeswarudu will need a miracle to enter the safe zone and let us see if it happens this time to bail out Taraka Ratna.

Businessman Movie Review

Businessman Movie Review

CAST & CREW
Cast: Mahesh Babu, Kajal Agarwal, Prakash Raj, Shayaji Shinde, Shwetha Bharadwaj, Dharmavarapu Subramaniam
Director: Puri Jagannadh
Producer: Venkat
Music Director: Thaman S
Lyricist: Bhaskara Bhatla

Businessman movie review: Businessman Telugu movie review: The crazy combo of Mahesh Babu and Puri Jagannath is back in action again for yet another outright action drama.  After blockbuster Dookudu, Businessman review is one of the much awaited results and let’s quickly cut across to Mahesh Babu’s Businessman movie review.

Businessman Story

At a time when Mumbai police announces that there are no Bhai’s in Mumbai and everyone can run business, Surya (Mahesh Babu) lands in the country’s commercial capital with an intention to become a don. He slowly gains momentum and in the process also traps Chitra (Kajal) who is police commissioner’s (Nazer) daughter. Surya then locks horns with big shots and his juggernaut continues to the point where the plot will be unveiled as to why did Mahesh Babu came to Mumbai with such an intention.

Analysis
Businessman is an action packed roller coaster ride and its Mahesh Babu’s show all the way. An ideal movie for Mahesh Babu to hit the screens as the superstar took over from where he left in Dookudu.  Typical Puri Jagannath’s one liner dialogues coupled with Mahesh Babu’s terrific action sequences hogs the limelight in Businessman. The film gives you glimpses of Pokiri  and other mafia based movies like RGV’s Satya but Puri managed to bring his own style of innovation.  He has handled it very sensibly ensuring that there are no duplication of thoughts. Given the fact that Businessman movie was just made in 72 days, boy the output is brilliant and hats off to Puri Jagannath and Mahesh for making the movie in such a short span of time.

Businessman is a perfect mass masala extravaganza which satisfies the undemanding viewers. Mahesh Babu has strong screen presence that works to the advantage of the film. Puri Jagannath is raw, creative and daringly different like he usually is. When such a dynamic director gets the authentic acting support from his superstar, you can expect fireworks on the screen and that’s what happens in Businessman. Mahesh Babu and Kajal give sterling performances to the shouts of 'action' and 'cut' of Puri Jagannath for Businessman movie. The result is that we have a massy entertainer in the face of stiff competition from other strategically released action movies this season.

TeluguOne Perspective
No doubt, Businessman movie is raw but Puri Jagannath’s treatment and Mahesh Babu’s character etching fascinate the movie. Mahesh revels in an author-backed role. His insouciance and cultivated elegance add to the polish of the character. He is decidedly first rate in the role of someone who is desperate for power.

Puri Jagannadh has got it right as a scriptwriter and has worked around the subject with dexterity. He has also got the feel of the movie right all through without too many deviations. Though there are elements that may put you off (too much melo drama and action), Puri Jagannadh surely knows the pulse of the audience and has balanced it well. And in Mahesh, he’s got an able ally. The screenplay, as you’d expect, is a wee bit like Pokiri where you’d see an action sequence, followed by a romantic episode. But Puri Jagannath’s dialogues are real asset to the movie where he makes Mahesh utter them with great authority.

Performances

Who else? Mahesh Babu comes up with a stunning performance. His dialogue delivery, bdoy language and the ease with which he utters them is simply fantastic.

Plus Points

Mahesh Babu’s performance
Puri Jagannath’s direction
Dialogues
Songs

Minus Points
Old story
Glimpses of Pokiri

Technicalities
Music is a huge asset for the movie. SS Thaman once again brings his skills to the fore for the superstar. ‘Saar Osthaara’ number is an instant sensation. Camera work by Syam K Naidu is stunning. His shot selection and camera angles were brilliant and he captured the best from Mahesh’s Babu’s close shots. Editing towards the second half should have been crisper but action mater Vijay needs to be commended for his great work.

Final Word
Businessman movie review: Businessman movie is a mass masala extravaganza and carnival for all those who relish seeing Mahesh Babu in a masala ride. Looks like the crazy combo of Puri and Mahesh has done it again!

Businessman Rating : 3.75/5

Movie Review : Players     Rating : 2.75 / 5 Banner : Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Burmawala Bros Cast : Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Omi Vaidya, Sikander Kher, Johny Lever, Vyacheslav Razbegaev, Aftab Shivdasani, Vinod Khanna and OthersAction : Allan AminCinematography : Ravi YadavChoreography : Bosco-CaesarScreenplay : Rohit Jugraj, Sudip Sharma Producer: Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Burmawala Bros Director : Abbas-Mustan Released Date : January 06, 2012

Story: A remake tale, the story begins with a group of people- Charlie (abhishek), Ronnie (bobby), Spider (neil), Riya (bipasha), Bilal (sikander) and Sunny (omi vaidya). They are all talented and hatch a plan to rob a gold bullion from Russia. They are also successful in robbing the bullion but before they expect, a double crossing happens and they are betrayed. This gets the team to join hands with Naina (sonam) to locate the booty and also teach a lesson to the double crossers. Whether they are successful or not forms the rest of the story.     Presentation:    The directors have come up with a rehashed storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was fast paced. The dialogues were charged up, the script was written with commercial value and screenplay was apt. Background score was good but songs were not upto the mark. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was regular. Costumes were trendy and stylish while the art department was suiting the moods. Abhishek Bachchan has come up with a different performance and makes his presence felt. Bipasha Basu looks super sexy and hot. Neil Nitin Mukesh was not that great. Bobby was not used to his potential. Sonam Kapoor was different. Sikander Kher was good. Omi Vaidya was apt. The others did their bit as required and added value.     Conclusion:    The film is the remake of the Hollywood hit The Italian Job but then it is better to stay away from the comparisons. As such, the film is quite rich in terms of the visual packaging and style but then it is the content and screenplay which hampers the momentum. While the first half goes about with the layering of the plot, the second half is about the various twists and turns. Moreover, the length is a bit on the higher side. If it was trimmed then it would have created an impact. Overall, this is a film which is a major visual feast but hollow in substance. At the box office, this could be an average grosser.      verdict:     Rich presentation, poor remake
