iubirea-eternului In the midst of all punching-slashing-mashing-crashing-splashing Telugu action movies, I came across a simple, normal, real life story. Maybe the hero and heroine are not the best actors, but I could relate to them. I was very curious of how a normal character could convince a girl with expectations, but whose life wasn't in danger and without showing his almighty power in rescue missions. And that in the same location all throughout the movie. Dhruv and his friends were funny, especially when having to cope with the heroine's passive-aggressive friend. Hers was the best performance out of all. Brahmanandam was okay too, but nothing exceptional. The songs were dreamy and pleasant. At the end, the hero has to answer 7 multiple-choice questions from Harika and all the answers have to be compatible with hers in order for her to consider a relationship. Dhruv chooses to answer honestly and gives her the paper through Brahmanandam's character because she is already on the plane. I was a little disappointed when the heroine returns, but states that none of Dhruv's answers corresponded with hers. I guess I had to expect the normal until the end.Overall, I was very satisfied, so 9/10
perivamsi This is a brilliant movie. I loved every minute of it. I have no idea what the other reviewers were expecting from the movie, but it is simple, direct and very well made.The three male actors were very good and so was the heroine's friend. Admittedly the story was not strong, but I started the movie without any expectations. It's not your average Telugu movie with fights, dance sequences and long sumo chases. It's a fun, warm movie with awesome dialogues, acting and direction.It's a must watch - just don't expect it to be another movie on factionism or heroine rescue mission.
CinematicDude Silliness raised to the power of total retardation. This is probably the worst movie I saw this year. Performances of the lead actors were not praiseworthy. Only controlled performance was given by the actor who played Manoj's friend (he also appeared in the director's debut movie 'Aithe'). Manoj looked like he was trying very hard to copy Shahrukh Khan's histrionics with his dumb expressions. Harika was bearable as the lead actress. She tried her best with the lip syncing part. Don't know when we can expect a Telugu speaking leading actress acting in a Telugu movie. The lady who played Harika's friend was funny and she acted good. The humor was overdone, despite the presence of Brahmanandam. No story whatsoever. In case there is a story, it is not even worth wasting two hours of our precious life for such a story. Chadrasekhar Yeleti comes up with a garbage script. Too many boring and meaningless tracks in the movie (read, the feather track). Yeleti started off with two good movies ('Aithe' and 'Anukokunda Oka Roju'), and goes commercial with the third one ('Okkadunnadu'). Now, the fourth one is not even qualified to be called as a movie. What has happened to the man?
kalyan006 Misery at its peak!!! First things first. I feel cheated and I demand a reimbursement of my admission fee. Well, thats nigh impossible so I need to vent my frustration that arises out of the fact that this half-baked plot has given me the most terrible of headaches.A bunch of dimwit creators coupled with an equally misfit cast of actors just don't a movie make. Only to let other users know what the movie is about, I'd be happy to tell them that it takes place at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Oh yes! Two full hours of glorified airport tourism masquerading as a movie. And its nothing like 'The Terminal' (think Tom Hanks) either, for the still optimistic bunch. Having earlier liked the previous movies from their stables viz. 'Aithe' and 'Anukokunda Oka Roju', I had high expectations but Prayanam falls so flat on its face, it breaks its nose and even manages to crush its cheekbones. probable brain haemorrhage to boost too.The movie is an absolute no-brainer. The plot is so adorned with pot-holes one could mistake it for a mining site. All this probably arises from the fact that telugu or for that matter Indian movie audiences have been so battered with mindless cinema that the producers/directors take them to be the brainless morons who'd appreciate all they throw at them. I believe they are not too far from the truth either. To find a cinema full of people laughing at those silly jokes only goes to prove the point.The one thing I hate more than air travel is spending time in an air terminal and having to watch one for 2 long hours only worsens it. The plot is wafer thin for all those curious minds out there. The 'hero' (if he can be called that) falls in love with the lead actress when he is blowing a feather across the length of the terminal and his earphones mysteriously get stuck in the actress's something or the other. Sounds moronic? Its even worse on-screen if you trust me. And how he tries to impress her forms the rest of the movie. All inside the terminal. Mind you he has to go through a 8-step agenda as advised by his best friend who is a human psychology student (I think!!! It doesn't even matter anymore). The lead actor just gets on your nerves. probably the actress' nerves too. Anyone in her position would render him with a tight slap, if not more. But I guess she doesn't do so owing to exterior circumstances. I wouldn't blame her. And not to mention the opening sequence where those plonkers attempt to scale a bridge for a bet to race-to-the-top. Idiotic. The few technical brilliances there might be just get lost among the miserable sequences thus rendering them null and void. The editing, screenplay and direction leave a lot to be desired.My only advice to you all is don't waste your money on something as cheap as this. You'd rather watch something else on the idiot box at home than go through the agony of sitting through a movie made and acted by imbeciles.
