Will Meera Chopra Make A Mark?

Actress Meera Chopra, debuting in Telugu in a Pawan Kalyan film was no ordinary thing. Though she was a name to reckon with in Kollywood with S J Surya's Anbe Aruyire and some other films in her kitty, she could never make a mark in Tollywood.
The reason being her first film Bangaram and her second film Vaana under MS Raju's production did not do too well at the box office. Meera Chopra bagged a film opposite Nitin some years back and it was titled Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Unfortunately for her, it did not take off speedily but finally it seems to be seeing the light of the day.Rechristened as Maaro, the film is releasing soon. The film is directed by Siddique and Mani Sharma is the music director.

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. Telugu Movie Reviews

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.

Artists Performance:

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.

Final 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.

Arya 2 Movie Review

Movie: Arya 2
My Rating: 2.25/5
Banner: Aditya Arts
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Cinematography: R.D. Rajasekhar
Editing: Marthand K. Venkatesh
Producer: Aditya Babu
Written and Direction By: Sukumar
Cast: Allu Arjun, Kajal, Navadeep, Sraddha Arya, Ajay, Erina, Brahmanandam etc
Release Date: 27th Nov 2009

Review

Story

It’s the story of two friends Arya (Arjun) and Ajay (Navadeep) who fall in love with same girl Geeta (Kajal).

Arya’s possessiveness for Ajay is the underlined aspect in this movie. But Ajay never likes Arya. Despite, he places him in his company for not being able to bear his torture.

Geeta comes as colleague in their office and story starts from then. But Rajireddy (Mukesh Rishi), the father of Geeta arranges her marriage with the son of another factionist. Arya takes the responsibility to cancel that wedding and enters the village. He says to Ajay that he would bring Geeta for him. How things turn from there…falls rest of the plot.

Artists Performance:

Allu Arjun appeared confusing in the film. His obsession for his friend Ajay has projected him on the lines of a ‘gay’, and many in theatre shouted the word! That’s because of mishandling of narration. On the other hand his contrast in characterization is disgusting. Sometimes he looks convincing and many times confusing. Director should be questioned for that.

Although Navadeep is a very able actor in delivering histrionics he was not given that chance by the director. His character remained dull through out. Telugu Movie Reviews

Kajal looked innocent, beautiful and charming while Shraddha Das glued some oozing glamour to screen.

‘Ringa Ringa..’ girl has got glowing skin but lacked in raunchy appeal that’s required for an item girl. Others are ok in their shoes.

While every department worked with all dedication it’s the flaw of director that marred the film. Cinematography, Choreography and Music stood high but the director made a confused concoction and ruined entire show. He got confused with screenplay part in second half.

Final Analysis:

It’s the movie released with many expectations but finally ended up as a disappointment. The masses in theatres yelled like hell when the show has begun but slowly turned pale and passive as the movie is rolling on.

Many are seen walking out of theatres either for a puff of smoke or relax in rest rooms especially in second half. First half is a bit ok. Only songs stood as saving grace by the virtue of Allu Arjun’s dances and music.

Coming to the essence in the movie, it has given many negative signs on a whole: The following doubts would light in the minds of audience:

* Is the protagonist a sadist or a gay or a mentally imbalanced one?
* Is the heroine character-less who runs behind any man who sheds tears for her?
* Is the director conveying that marriage ritual has no significance?
* Is the director introducing the wife-swapping subject on Telugu screen?
* Is the director confused totally?

The first day morning show has given a signal that it’s going to be thumbs down in B,C centers. But A centers may find some oxygen. On a whole it’s a disappointment.

Of them we scrutinized 540 applications and held interviews. We selected 81 artistes for our film. We held a workshop for all these debutants and gave them training in acting, dances and dialogue modulation. We are very happy to introduce these many artistes through our film. Our film would remain a fitting lesson that there are no heroines in Telugu who could play in Tollywood films.”

Producer says, “We are planning a 60-day non-stop schedule and the shooting would be undertaken in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Mumbai.’ But for the five days, during which Dasari attend the Parliament, there won’t be any break in the shooting.”

The specialty is that Dr Dasari had started his all-time great film ‘Swargam-Narakam’ with all new faces on the same day some 35 years ago and it was a massive hit during those days. Moreover, Dasari-Keeravani combination is repeating after a long gap. There are a total of six songs and of them, recording of four songs was complete. Camera is by Ch Ramana Raju, editing is by Gauthamraju, art is by B Venkateswara Rao, action is by Rakhee Rajesh and Ram-Lakshman, and music is by MM Keeravani, while story, dialogues, screenplay and direction are by Dasari Narayana Rao.
