Kabali
2016 · Ap Herald · Jul 2016
This is definitely not Rajini movie. Watch with open mind. Get ready to face some slow screenplay. However the director has added all commercial elements in second half of the movie. The first 15 minutes and last 20 minutes be2fore Interval are the highlights of the movie. Similarly the climax is also entertaining. As always, Good triumphs over evil. Cinematography and Music are the two pillars of the movie and they escalate the movie to new level.
A Aa
2016 · Ap Herald · Jun 2016
Overall, 'A..Aa..' is an Old-fashioned Family comedy which is a well-wrapped candy...
Sardaar Gabbar Singh
2016 · Ap Herald · Apr 2016
Sardaar Gabbar Singh has Actions, Heroism, Love, Emotion, Sympathy and all other elements needed for a successful movie only problems is that these elements failed to produce needed AURA all put together. Sardaar Gabbar Singh has its moments but half of Gabbar Singh only.
Oopiri
2016 · Ap Herald · Apr 2016
Oopiri has a fine direction, good performancesand some well executed sequences too. But with nothing new to revealor surprise in its content for me its content, for me it just remainsa good one time watch and not anything more than that as beingprojected.
Krishnashtami
2016 · Ap Herald · Feb 2016
Unnecessary tracks add to the misery of having to bear this idiocy. Stay away from this superb plan of drilling hell out of you.
Speedunnodu
2016 · Ap Herald · Feb 2016
You can only watch director Bhimineni's Speedunnodu with tremendous choler and skepticism, as he tries to make mockery of two (Sundarapandian and Raja Huli) much loved films with this one.
Soggade Chinni Nayana
2016 · Ap Herald · Jan 2016
Overall, Soggade Chinninayanna directed by debutant Kalyan Krishna is a "simple" family drama with pinch of sociofantasy.
Bengal Tiger
2015 · Dec 2015
Goofy entertainment, thats what is selling in Tollywood at the moment. Thats why Sampath Nandi has decided to place a series of fatuities against each other, to make an incoherent mess called Bengal Tiger. This so called commercial entertainer suffers from generic storytelling, situational comedy and rarely raises above the fallible conception. All in all, Bengal Tiger is a kind of film that constantly remind yourself that there is a Sunny and beautiful world outside the cinema hall.
Shankaraabharanam
2015 · Ap Herald · Dec 2015
To summarize, Sankarabharam includes a pinch of comedy, a splash of craziness and a big gang to promising actors. If you thing they all have made Sankarabharanam a worth watch, then you are wrong.
Cheekati Rajyam
2015 · Ap Herald · Nov 2015
It's an Olympian feat to remake an International hit film to local standard and at the same time make their fans happy. However, debutant director while trying to do so, failed to grab the soul of the film completely from the original. The film leaves you with a mixed kind of impact in the end and would appeal to only a limited section of audience. All in all, Cheekati Rajyam is a remake of Nuit Blanche but lacks the finesse and gloss of Frederic Jardin's worth watching action thriller.
Kumari 21F
2015 · Ap Herald · Nov 2015
Kumari 21F is not the usual run of the mil movie which is designed to entertain audience. Watching it with such an intent can be disappointing. Also labelling it as a Sukumar film will heighten the expectation. Instead watch the movie for its different depiction and muse over some of the questions that the movie poses. All in all, Kumari 21F is a mixed bag. Its not an interesting film. But its sincere and largely piece of cinema about unconditional love in present day relations.
Akhil - The Power Of Jua
2015 · Ap Herald · Nov 2015
...a total waste of time, energy, money and is excruciatingly drilling. You can go on and on about the films flaws but then can this feign be called a movie in the first place? Lets Film maker decide that first.
Kanche
2015 · Ap Herald · Oct 2015
Kanche is another film where the plot is challenging and paper work is good but falls short in execution. Acting in most parts is acceptable but the film never tries to captivate its audience through its narration. The story progresses on predictable lines and things become boring, after a while. In short, it can be safely said that Kanche is Krish's weakest work so far in his career (Only after his Bollywood film Gabbar). But it's quite normal that you tend to forget the flaws and appreciate the best things about Kanche, due to its underlying honesty. It may not be there among the best, but the hard work that has gone into its making needs a dab.
Rudhramadevi
2015 · Ap Herald · Oct 2015
Breathtaking in scope and action and surprisingly precise characterizations despite whatever ethnically dubious casting choices. Gunaa's expertise in the machinery of the genre reaches its pinnacle. The Rudhramadevi - Gonna Ganna Reddy final scene is stroke of genius. On the whole, Rudhramadevi is another epic from master Guaa, very enjoyable.
Bale Bale Magadivoy
2015 · Ap Herald · Sep 2015
is a perfectly packaged film for the family audience. It may defy logic at times but is a laugh riot that is genuinely entertaining. To sum things up, at a time when fatuous masalas are the order of the day, a movie like "Bhale Bhale Mogadivoi" provides a whiff of fresh air. The movie is simple, straightforward and entertaining. Three cheers to the whole team for making a clean and a good entertainer. Wish more BBM's happen in Telugu Cinema.
S/O Satyamurthy
2015 · Ap Herald · Apr 2015
The film has its moments but falters badly with its plot.
Mukunda
2014 · Ap Herald · Dec 2014
Mukunda has its moments in its initial scenes, but gets very boring post-intermission. The drama between the leads never builds up, nor does the story agrees to step ahead, resulting in a below average film, thanks to few songs! Watch it, if you really have to.
Rough
2014 · Ap Herald · Nov 2014
Rough gives a weird sense of disappointment, the kind that you get even when you weren't expecting anything to begin with.
Current Theega
2014 · Ap Herald · Nov 2014
The major letdown in remake comes mainly from the script work and the direction. The script with more tongue-tied anxiety than sense, fails to capture the nature of the original and G Nageswara Reddy spineless guiding comes across as more concerned with perceived commercial viability rather than pure story-telling craft.
Oka Laila Kosam
2014 · Ap Herald · Oct 2014
OLK actually has some obliging situations and interesting pair but regrettably the screenplay and treatment have no idea what to do with them. First half of the film is flat, whereas the drama in the second half doesn't hold. The outcome is yet another case of "had potential couldn't deliver", a syndrome that Telugu cinema is blight with for quite some time now. To cut the long story short, "Oka Laila Kosam" starts promisingly, bringing on some grins, but those grins vanish faster than it takes to "say cheese".
Govindudu Andarivadele
2014 · Ap Herald · Oct 2014
In true words, this was a good choice of point by Krishna Vamsi to be presented before us following his own style of film making. Govindudu Andarivadele can be rated as clean family entertainer. This kind of films are very rare in recent times, go grab your tickets.
Power
2014 · Ap Herald · Sep 2014
To look for mainstream plot, esthetics or treatment in Power is pointless. It is shamelessly commercial. On the whole, even if you are a big fan of no-brainer commercial entertainers, we would suggest you to watch Power on home edition.
Rabhasa
2014 · Ap Herald · Aug 2014
If you're Jr NTR fan, then Rabhasa comes with a one watch tag. But if you are looking for something different, it's better to wait for its home edition.
Nee Jathaga Nenundali
2014 · Ap Herald · Aug 2014
Nee Jathaga Nenundalli is more of a rehash than remake. Soulful music, High-end Production values and Cinematography Nee Jathaga Nenundali had its chances but the predictability, poor translation, worst performances and the pointless lyrics in the film kill them ruthlessly. The problem is not that the storyline is inspired, but the issue is with the overall handling. The pace of the film is so slow throughout and is always interrupted by songs with meaningless lyrics. The dialogues are poorly written and wafer thin script has nothing much to offer. In amovie like this one needs to feel for their love and romantic world. But sadly it never really happens. The proceedings remain dull and drab leading the audience to point of vexation.
Run Raja Run
2014 · Ap Herald · Aug 2014
The first half of Run Raja Run was quite entertaining with good comedy, songs and dances while the second half unfolds the story and the much talked songs sequences came out well. With a good twists and twirls and a decent climax, second half turned a good watch. Major problem with the film is the typical storyline and predictable narration happens post intermission. Content wise, Run Raja Run is not a unique one but it does not fail to impress you or keep you engrossed with the good entertainment. Run Raja Run makes you spend two hours with regular yet vibrant funny ride.
Nuvvala Nenila
2014 · Ap Herald · Aug 2014
Nuvvala Nenila is nothing but a trashy rehash of South Korean comedy film "Seducing Mr Perfect". It worked back there but sadly in the present times, this film neither falls in the category of boastful slapstick genre nor in witty comedy. A weak script and screenplay joins forces with bad humor and worse duologues to make the film an utterly unpleasant fare. Indeed, there is not a single scene in the film, which can boast of providing any entertainment in any way.
Galipatam
2014 · Ap Herald · Aug 2014
Few decent performances, couple of songs and a few punchy - rhyming dialogues alone don't make an interesting rom-com if the plot and direction is lackluster. First half of the film is routine but has some good entertaining episodes, it's the second half where director tries something out of the box and fails to convey it properly. Positives of the film are Cinematography, Music, Basic Point and few dialogues. The film misses the point in the second half but nevertheless makes us smile for a while.
