Despite its climax which drags a bit, Oopiri is a touching film, adapted well by Vamshi and ably supported by the cast. It marks another hit for Nag, who has shown the way in experimenting with his roles.

Though the second half is a bit slow, overall the movie is good as it is a nice departure from the regular masala films.

The film’s first half is entertaining and the climax is very surprising. But the film also has many flaws. On one hand, the boy condones his friends’ behaviour when they steal money from ATMs but when it comes to the girl, he takes on a holier-than-thou attitude. There are quite a few other inconsistencies. The second half is a bit slow and could have been made better. The film is a coming-of-age love story and definitely not for kids, given the adult dialogues and scenes.

Bruce Lee, which is supposed to be a family entertainer, is a lacklustre action- drama. Srinu Vaitla seems to have lost touch and loses the plot in the middle. Even Chiranjeevi’s cameo can’t save him.

The film, however, is a bit slow and lacks drama and emotion. The director has concentrated more on establishing Rudhramadevi’s character but does not delve into her emotions much. The computer graphics too are not up to the mark. Watch Rudhramadevi for a glimpse into Telugu history and culture and how a woman struggled to regain power and cement her place in history.

Kick 2 offers some entertainment here and there. It’s a typical Ravi Teja film with his mass dialogues and action, which attracts the front benchers. But when compared, Kick was far better than the sequel.

Finally, ‘Baahubali’ is a computer graphic dominated film with a weak subject. Though the makers and many have gone gaga over this film as this is an epic, visual wonder, ‘Baahubali’ is neither an epic nor a great one. It falls under a commercial film with computer graphics. More over these kind of folklore films have come to Telugu cinema which the present generation is unaware of. If you look at the old NTR and ANR films, they are comparatively much better than ‘Baahubali’, remember those old films are classics and were made with no computer graphics. You can watch it once!

This is by far one of Jr NTR’s best films. It is the ideal comeback he needed and he simply lives the role of Daya. Coupled with intense dialogue delivery, he is a winner all the way. Prakash Raj does his role with ease as he always does.

The songs are misplaced and come at the wrong time. Finally, it’s not a regular commercial film, a typical Srikanth Addala kind of film, without the double meaning dialogues and vulgarity.

…the story is as said earlier routine, predictable and nothing new, but the only savinggrace at this point is the comedy. ‘Loukyam’ is an entertainer. Watch it for Gopichand and the hilarious comedy by Pruthvi and Brahmanandam.
