Cinema + Cinema + Cinema = Neninthe


Performances:

Raviteja: Raviteja is one of the few telugu heroes who has enormous energy in him and this time he proved the same. He is tremendous as an aspiring director. Usually in all his movies he carries the same slang of dialogues but this time his modulation was different and good. This time one can clearly understand his dialogues and he portrayed Ravi's character with immense ease in his body language. The careless attitude of heroes seen in puri's movie is missing here. This might be one of the performances Raviteja would surely remember in his life time.

Seiya: She is neither cute nor had good ease in performance. She is definitely a wrong choice. she is hot in few songs. One thing for sure is her character in the movie, she is confused. Unlike Raviteja who has a clear idea of what he is doing or what he should do, her character has no clear definition and does what ever told by the hero.

Subbaraju: I need a special mention for this character. There are good variations in the character and subbaraju played quite effectively. Be it the conversation with the fans after sairams death, be it his attitude towards fans at the begining, be it the romantic love story with mumaith, be it the way his discussion with Ravi for the new subject, everything were performed at equal ease and energy. Most of the scenes he tried copying the mannerism of mahesh. On the whole he is good.

Sairam sankar: Sairam Sankar as fans president has done a very good job and his character should be a lesson to all the fans who spend lakhs of rupees for a flop movie inorder to get records.

Shiyaji Shindey: Shindey is excellent as a producer who is in losses. Few dialogues were very good.

Supreet as a goon is okay with his routine performance. Brahmanandam is adequate with his role as a director. Venumadhav is good and his deep-shit episode should have a special mention. Mumaith has done a very good job. The scene where there will be an interaction with media has lot of censor cuts. It was good but have been much better. Krishna Bhagwan was okay in the negative role. VV Vinayak appeared in 2 scenes. Ramaprabha was good as a cancer patient.

This time i have special mention to all the website reviewers who concentrated more on the negative aspects rather than on the positive aspects. As everyone had their opinions falling themselves under self defense i too want to question their integrity.

1. Is that not true most of the websites are dependent on filmy gossips. (especially Great andhra, andhra vilas, andhra studio). what percentage of gossips do they have when compared to informative news.
2. Is that not true few reviewers are taking money from the concerned people for few movies and showing dual attitude towards the movies.
3. Is that not true most of the so called educated people rely on these senseless reviews before watching the movie.
4. Is that not true when the movie is purchased by few people from the web media they write positive reviews for the movie. Few times when the movie is not good they dont even write the reviews for the first three days.(Idlebrain)


Side Lights:

Positives:

1. Titles were amazing
2. Dialogues
3. The climax dialogue where Ravi says he will do movies even the movie is hit or flop.
4. Fans Episode
5. Each and Every satire ( For Gods sake can we call them truths ?? )
6. Ravitejas energetic performance
7. The scene where heroine asks ravi that they should run away

Negatives:

1. Heroine
2. Music
3. Second half should have been much better.


Story - Screenplay - Dialogues - Direction: There is no story in the movie and revolves towards the 24 frames. Puri excelled in dialogues and direction. Every dialogue in the movie was good. The basic plot is to show the behind the scenes of the movie reels and from puris point of view he has done his job. He showed each and every person that will be mostly related to the movie. Be it a producer, a fan, a hero, a director or the media. He did not leave any one. First half of the movie is racy and the second half of the movie was bit slow and seemed to be dragged. ( This is a common aspect in all Puri's Movies except Pokiri.(Idiot, ANOTA, Sivamani, Bujjigadu etc;.)

Fights: Good.

Music: Music should have been much much much better. I even closed my ears when ever there was chakris vocie. He is intolerable. Chakri why dont you concentrate on the music rather than singing. Man it was hurting please dont sing in such a high pitch with that voice especially.

Photography: Good

Production: Good.

Bottom Line: As Usual for puri's Movie the reviews were bad and i liked the movie. The effort was good from Puri. Some called him 'Puris Confessions on Telugu Cinema', some called him 'Telugu RGV', some questioned his integrity. But each and evary pointed out by Puri is true and these so called web media never accepts that and try to defend themselves. The movie might be a hit or a flop, never mind but a must watch for a Movie Freak.

My Rating: 3/5
