Jalsa :: My Review

The Story About Sanjay Sahu

Like athadu, movie is a story about an individual... while the characterisation in athadu is well defined n dignified, the one in jalsa is dealt in a comic way with few instances of seriousness.

The movie takes off with the voice of superstar mahesh, who gave narration for the complete movie. Pawan is a student of osmania university, who is in love with kamilinee, Prakash Raj's elder daughter. However, PR denies and kamilinee marries a guy who is chosen by PR. Pawan drinks a lot. Next comes introduction of ileana and parvathi. A guy teases both of them and pawan fights with them. Now both of the heroines fell in love with pawan. parvathi proposes and pawan denies.

Ileana and pawan fall in love. Mukesh rushi is a factionist in a village. He tries to kill pavan. in this process the goons traps ali, beats him and attempts to kill him. Pawan fights with the goons with full of emotions and discloses himself as a naxalite.

There comes the interval bang. The post interval starts with mahesh voice again and describes pavans childhood. due to few circumstances pavan joins naxals. In an attack pavan rescues PR and hence pavan starts leading normal life.

the second half is all about why mukesh rushi tries to kill pavan and how he managed to get out.

Pavan :

1. Good at few scenes.
2. comic timing is good, though comedy hasnt that punch(the trade mark of trivikram)
3. He always drinks, of course the reason for this was first disclosed by the narrator(mahesh).
4. Completely failed in dances and fights. Of course audience expect good fights from pavan, he disappointed not only his fans but also common audience.
5. I have to mention about his costumes. well, these costumes are rubbish. pavan seems to be odd in his costumes. looked fat.

Ileana:

1. looked bad
2. nothing much to perform.
3. Dubbing done by swathi, which looked childish. of course her charcter itself looks as if she is a child.

Mukesh Rushi :

1. Dubbing was good, powerful and action too was good.

BGM : Noting great...

Photography : ok

Songs on screen And Choreography : bad toooooo bad.
1. U n I : ok
2. My heart is beating : good
3. Gallo telinattunde : ok
4. Chalore chalore : bad
5. jennifer : bad
6. Jalsa title song : tried new but failed... bad

Trivikram : hmm wat should i say.. comedy was ok but not great. Most of the comedy done by the lead, seems to be over action. Brahmanandam and sunil were good. while sunil didnt manage to make us laught, brahmanandam did it with his expressions.

Analysis : movie starts off with good pace and slows down. 2nd half is a big let down.

Verdict : movie depends on how audience receives the comedy and pavans action. Even the fans are disappointed ofcourse by this time they habituated i guess.

Tagline : At the audio function chiru said "pavan, Just give an average flick fans are ready to make it a huge hit". Let us see if he is able to manage a decent one.

My Rating: 2.75/5
