Disco raja review

DiscoRaja : 

Starring :  Ravi Teja, Payal Rajput, Nabha Natesh, Vennela Kishore

Director :  Vi Anand

Producers :  Ram Talluri

Music Director :  Thaman S

Cinematography :  Karthik Ghattamaneni

Editers : Shravan Katikaneni

Ravi Teja took a gap of 1 year to rediscover himself and find a new genre that no-one has really explored before in Tollywood. Sci-Fi 

The genre that never really found it's right space here in tollywood. 

It was a great advantage for director VI Anand who previously made supernatural films like Ekkadiki Pothav Chinnavada and Okka kshanam. Naturally expectations would rise after the first teaser. Lets see how is it.

The film starts on an impressive note and creates a good curiosity factor making things look novel. but,

Audience were expecting something they've never watched before. But here they serve you a pretty average revenge drama which isn't really worth waiting for. The director could have elevated the action scenes and the twists very well but somehow failed to do so. This is one such film which looks good on paper but bad on the screen.

Even the actresses didn't really have much screentime. Payal Rajput's track was written well, but the characters of Tanya hope and Nabha Natesh's  were just as similar to any Set Properties. Screenplay could have been more tighter. Talking about the technical aspects Background score and Songs were okay. The art director managed to recreate the 80s themes and influences.  Cinematography was a class apart and the action was good. But this film fails in the most crucial aspect i.e the script. After the first 20 minutes you are just watching and watching and watching just expecting when would this end. Ending twist and the scenes after that are silly.

Positives:

* Ravi Teja Performance is very good and his mannerisms, dialogue modulation, and body language are stylish. his stylish look is awesome.

* Payal Rajput chemistry with raviteja is good and her getup and performance pretty impressive.

* Vennela kishore comedy is the biggest asset of the movie, Tanya Hope as the scientist is pretty good. in the end Sunil Performance is very good.

* Bobby Simha and his negative role is good. He has solid screen presence and perfornce is top class.

* interval and climax twists are good.

* last but not the least, Karthick Gahttamaneni does a brilliant Camera work in the movie and his dop is main positive for the movie 

Negatives :

* screenplay of the movie is very very ordinary and director Anand direction is not good.

* except Interval, first half of the movie is below par.

* The second half goes down as many logics go for a toss. The film just keeps rolling without any motive and creates a dull atmosphere in the proceedings.

* Emotions between raviteja and his son is not worked properly.

* All those who think there will be glamor featuring Nabha Natesh and Payal, they will be disappointed as the heroines are hardly used in the film. Nabha, in particular, has only two or three scenes and a song.

Overall  : 

over all Ravi teja performance, energy and look is very good but the screenplay and narration is slow and direction is below par, anyway some scenes in the movie is terrific. A section of the audience will connect to the concept but the general audience who look for masala entertainment will be disappointed. So, go in with an fresh mind and without expectations to enjoy this film.

Rating : 6/10 (Not a proper comeback for Ravi Teja)

Darbar review

Darbar : Rajini mass stylish show

Starring :  Rajinikanth, Nayantara, Nivetha Thomas, Sunil Shetty

Director :  A.R. Murugadoss

Producers :  Subashkaran

Music Director :  Anirudh Ravichandran

Cinematography :  Santhosh Sivan

Editers :  Srikar Prasad

Sankranthi started with rajinikanth stylish mass show ..In the huge pongal competition darbar  released today. lets see how is movie and performances.

1st Half : Movie started with a very strict police commissioner (Rajini kanth) killing all the notorious criminals one after the other without any mercy. and rajini kanth entry is fabulous as bad cop, his entry and opening fight is pure goosebumps. after the fight he transferred to mumbai for a very important operation , after that Nivetha thomas entered as rajini daughter and her chemistry with rajini is very good and performance in the movie is top class. In mumbai all the story running on one investigation case, The cop setup in Mumbai has been showcased well as the first half of the film has gripping investigation scenes. The way the cop drama and crime angle featuring Pratiek Babbar was showcased is very good. rajini and nivetha combined scenes come out very well on screen. nayanathara did her job and her role is too small and there is a no scope to perform. first half end with very good twist and fight. 

2nd half : In the 2nd half sunil shetty entered as stylish main villain, and his looks and his performance is good, some scenes between rajini and nayanatara in routine manner and yogi babu comedy is ok. after that some emotional scenes between rajini and nivetha is good. after some routine stuff power packed fight scene in railway station with anirudh top level bgm. the railway station fight is too stylish and the best fight in the movie. after that fight movie into sentiment mode and flat screen play. Sunil Shetty is not utilized properly at all as his role is very weak and has no depth and power in the second half. After showcasing so much crime and investigation to nab Sunil Shetty, one expects a solid climax but that is not the case. end the movie in routine way.

Positives : 

* Rajini kanth showcased in a superb manner, extremely good as the bad cop as his style and               mannerisms are too good for the fans. his performance and comedy timing every thing is good.

* Nivetha Thomas gives a solid performance as Rajini’s daughter. The combination scenes of both father and daughter have come out quite well and evoke good emotions in both the halves. 

* Sunil shetty is super stylish as the main villain and he gave his best , Nayanatara did her role and Yogi babu comedy is good.

* The investigation scenes and Cop setup in mumbai everything is gripping and came out very well the first half of the movie is very good 

* Music directer Anirudh gave ordinary songs but he gave extraordinary BGM's, he elevated the hero superbly.

* The fights are very good and thalaivar showed his energy and style in the fight, Railway station fight in the 2nd half is extraordinary.

Negatives  : 

* After the very good first half ,in the 2nd half the tempo drops a bit . 

* Main villain sunil shetty is did his job but director failed to use him properly .

*  In the 2nd half narration is bit dull and except railway station fight everything is ordinary in the 2nd half

* Sentiment scenes and fights worked very well in the 2nd half but things get bogged down in the last twenty minutes making the film a bit dull. Average 2nd half

Over all Movie is good and watchable, for rajini fans this movie is feast. The superstar is extremely good as the bad cop as his style and mannerisms are too good for the fans and reminds us of Vintage rajini

Rating : 7/10 (Rajini Stylish mass show)
