Manamantha

Manamantha

2016 · Gulte · Aug 2016

Climax of the film will bring a lot of joy to the viewers which in itself is a great achievement. Manamantha is one of its kind of films that are a rarity in Tollywood. One cannot afford to miss this roller coaster ride of emotions. Go watch it.

Sarrainodu

Sarrainodu

2016 · Gulte · Jul 2016

All the stunts are choreographed in the same way. There is no variety and it gets hideous after some time. We expect a powerful climax because of the powerful villain, but all we are served is a run of the mill stuff that ends horribly predictable. There are few bright points about the film, but we cannot let this one pass off as a passable fare as there are so many more dark moments. Allu Arjun's spotless performance is the main highlight of this Boyapati's bland and boring mass masala offering. Verdict: Not 'Saraina' Attempt!

A Aa

A Aa

2016 · Gulte · Jun 2016

A Aa has a very good plot and Trivikram executed it well without getting too much melodramatic. His style of presentation and characterizations will keep you entertained despite the lack of so called masala elements. A Aa is a wholesome entertainer that can be enjoyed with your whole family. It is a perfect summer film that gives your ticket's worth of entertainment.

Speedunnodu

Speedunnodu

2016 · Gulte · Feb 2016

Speedunnodu seems okay until the interval point with some laugh out loud moments. However the romantic track it is too predictable to keep us glued. Climax is different from usual but couldn't make the desired impact. Speedunnodu has its moments but fails to entertain or engage on a whole. Verdict: Caution! Speed-breaker ahead.

Bengal Tiger

Bengal Tiger

2015 · Gulte · Dec 2015

Raviteja's energy, Prithvi comedy and a largely entertaining first half are the high points of Bengal Tiger. Mass audience may enjoy this for the above factors and the heroines liberal skin show is a bonus. Audience that are fed up of watching the same old drama in each and every film may not be able to sit through the second half without complaining about the fuss. Bengal Tiger has chances to score in B and C centers but as a film it will go down as yet another routine fare. Verdict: Roaring First Half, Boring Second Half.

Shankaraabharanam

Shankaraabharanam

2015 · Gulte · Dec 2015

Nothing worked in the first half in spite of desperate attempts to make us laugh. Second half largely runs on the scenes taken from 'Phas Gaya Re Obama'. There are attempts to add humor to the proceedings but nothing clicked except for a few one liners mouthed by Prithvi. Climax is slightly better than the rest of the movie but on a whole Shankarabharanam will leave you disappointed.

Size Zero (Inji Iduppazhagi)

Size Zero (Inji Iduppazhagi)

2015 · Gulte · Nov 2015

Last half an hour turns absolute nonsense and looks like a show reel for PVP Sports. The romantic thread has no surprises and runs on a predictable note. We have seen tons of movies running with similar love triangle and it is dragged and dragged until we are fed up of it. Size Zero had the potential to be a promising film but the second half turned out to be the worst nightmare. Wish the director has put in half the efforts and hard work that Anushka has put into this film. Verdict: Sweety Shines But The Film Doesn't.

Cheekati Rajyam

Cheekati Rajyam

2015 · Gulte · Nov 2015

Except for some brilliantly shot action scenes Cheekati Rajyam has nothing exciting enough to be cherished at the cinemas. The team will be lauded for breaking the so called formula but as a film it fails to strike chord with the viewers. Kamal Haasan who usually adds emotional depth to his plots has written a flat screenplay that turns uninteresting in the second hour. Extremely slow pace and with hardly anything happening on the story front for the most part of the movie, Cheekati Rajyam finds it tough to appeal to the majority of audience. Verdict: Different But Shallow.

Kumari 21F

Kumari 21F

2015 · Gulte · Nov 2015

Heart of the film lies in the pre climax and climax scenes where the movie takes a complete U turn with an unexpected ending. This is where the brilliance of Sukumar's writing comes to the fore and Kumari will leave a lasting impression on the audience either it is good or bad! The film has too much adult content which may not please audiences who comes to the theaters expecting lighter vein entertainment. Kumari will not appeal to all but it will definitely make a mark for itself as one of the most controversial and bold films ever made in Telugu cinema history.

Rudhramadevi

Rudhramadevi

2015 · Gulte · Oct 2015

Rudhrama Devi can still be watched once despite all the flaws because of the story and the insights it gives about the characters of the great Telugu kingdom. Guna Sekhar should have come up with a far more engrossing product as he repeatedly said that it was his dream to make a movie on the warrior queen. Don't expect wonders or an everlasting cinematic experience with this film. Guna has announced a movie on Pratapa Rudra, The Last Emperor. Hope he comes up with better product learning from his mistakes.

Courier Boy Kalyan

Courier Boy Kalyan

2015 · Gulte · Sep 2015

Predictability is another big problem for this film that never throws any surprises at any point. Nithin's presence and the short runtime are the only plusses in this otherwise boring movie that doesn't take itself seriously. A huge disappointment for the audience who go with expectations looking at the names like Gautham Menon associated with it. You can wait for the Courier to be delivered at your home rather than running to the theaters. Verdict: A Badly Packaged Product.

Bale Bale Magadivoy

Bale Bale Magadivoy

2015 · Gulte · Sep 2015

First half of the film is seriously funny but second half lacks the bite. There are good moments in the second half as well but there are few lags as well. Climax is a bit cinematic. Despite the flaws and weaknesses BBM will impress with its good content and Nani's performance. This will surely set the cash registers ringing. Don't Miss it.

Bāhubali: The Beginning

Bāhubali: The Beginning

2015 · Gulte · Jul 2015

To put it bluntly Bahubali is Rajamouli's weakest script to date! However it is visually mind-boggling that we could excuse some of its shortcomings. Wish Rajamouli comes up with a packed script in the second part. On the box office front, Bahubali - The Beginning will surely shatter the records irrespective of its weak points.

Uttama Villain

Uttama Villain

2015 · Gulte · May 2015

Kamal Haasan shoulders the film in spite of its weaknesses. He is there in almost every frame and that is the biggest asset for this one. The treatment of the movie is sluggish and it will be a great disappointment if you expect something special from Kamal Haasan. The movie may seem okay if you go with nil expectations. We have seen many great films from the superstar and Uttama Villain will not have place amongst his best. The film may not do that well on the commercial front as it is a strict no-no for the masses.

S/O Satyamurthy

S/O Satyamurthy

2015 · Gulte · Apr 2015

With below average content, S/O Satyamurthy will have to rely upon external factors to sail through to a safe zone. Holiday season and no big releases until three weeks gives enough space for the movie to do decent business at the box office. End result of the movie will depend upon how the families embraces it.

Patas

2015 · Gulte · Jan 2015

Despite few weaknesses, Pataas has enough to engage and entertain masala loving audience. Debutante Anil Ravipudi did a very good job on a whole. This is easily one of the best commercial films that we have seen in recent times. Kalyan Ram has a winner on his hands. Watch it.

Mukunda

Mukunda

2014 · Gulte · Dec 2014

Mukunda is a very serious drama with lots and lots of action, which seems pointless after some time. There is not a single scene where the protagonist is put to test. Director should have at least concentrated more on the hero, villain tussle when he is not so interested about any other emotions or interactions in this film. To sum it up, Mukunda marks a decent debut for Varun Tej, but fails as a movie. You may watch it for Rao Ramesh's career defining performance and Mayer's soundtrack.

Lingaa

Lingaa

2014 · Gulte · Dec 2014

Age old story, bad narration, weak sound track makes this three hour long film painfully boring to watch. Lingaa fails to please even the diehard fans of Rajanikanth.

Rough

Rough

2014 · Gulte · Nov 2014

First half of the film is slightly better than the second half which will make you search for the nearest exit all the time. Thanks to Rakul's growing fan base, Rough got decent openings compared to recent releases. However it will surely suffer huge fall after the weekend as the word of mouth is spreading like wildfire. Stay away from this.

Govindudu Andarivadele

Govindudu Andarivadele

2014 · Gulte · Oct 2014

GAV is a perfect film for this festive season that is targeted at the family crowds. GAV doesn't have elements that pleases the youth and masses as director sticks to the genre. It has strong content, superb performances and good music to win the audiences hearts. Range of the film will depend on how mass audience and youngsters respond to it.

You will come out disappointed if you are expecting something on the level of Dookudu. This film is very inferior to it and only works because of Mahesh. He should solely carry this film at the box office too.

Alludu Seenu

Alludu Seenu

2014 · Gulte · Aug 2014

Grand Debut with a Bland Script! This film is strictly not for audience who look for variety. It is a formulaic mass entertainer that will have to bank heavily on the brand name of Vinayak and other commercial elements to click at the box office.
