'Waltair Veerayya' Movie Review

 'Waltair Veerayya' Review: Megastar Chiranjeevi Is Enjoyable in This Masala Entertainer.


'Waltair Veerayya' starring Chiranjeevi in the lead role, released in theatres on 13 January.

Sankranti (Pongal) is a special festival down south, and its celebration isn't complete without watching our favorite stars’ films. Just like how the Tamil films’ clash, Ajith’s Thunivu vs. Vijay’s Varisu, has created huge excitement, the Telugu fans are in for a treat with the battle between Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy and Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya.

Megastar Chiranjeevi in Waltair Veerayya walks in like a boss—massy, funny, and full of action.

The story of the film revolves around Veerayya (Chiranjeevi), one of the most sought-after underworld dons. He is a nightmare to rouge thugs and the last resort to the country's armed forces for an unofficial help. A retired police officer seeks Veerayya’s help to avenge the deaths of his innocent colleagues.

Who is the mastermind behind the murders? Is Veerayya connected to the murderer even before he was tasked with catching hold of him? The film answers these questions through the rest of the story.

The plot was anything but new; the film also sticks to a mass masala commercial entertainer template that predominantly hypes up the hero through punch dialogues. However, the treatment of the screenplay seemed interesting. It reinvented the larger-than-life image of the megastar with a comical spin.

Chiranjeevi’s character was amusingly animated. Despite the hypermasculine buildups, he excels at being a vulnerable and not-so-serious guy. The audience crackles every time he jokes or when jokes are made at his expense. This deserves special appreciation, especially since Chiranjeevi is someone who’s got years of experience in his bucket. Truly a sport!

Ravi Teja delivers a convincing performance as Chiranjeevi’s half-brother. The film highlighted an interesting sibling rivalry that was layered with a real bond. It was a treat to watch the two stars squabble and bromance with each other. In addition, the two bankable actors, Bobby Simha and Prakash Raj, were excellent in their villainous roles.

We know romantic duets and peppy dance numbers are a staple for star-driven commercial flicks. And in Waltair Veerayya, Devi Sri Prasad’s music and background score were good. But how many songs do we still need to hinder the flow of the real story? Even if we choose to have many, shouldn't we be mindful about their placement? Do we really need to squeeze in a random song sequence at random intervals just because a lot of effort has gone into shooting it in amazing places.

Thunivu movie review

 Thunivu Movie Review: Ajith Kumar as anti-hero is a treat to watch in this mediocre heist thriller Ajith's Thunivu hit the theatres on January 11. In Short- *Thunivu released in the theatres on January 11. *The film is directed by H Vinoth. *Ajith Kumar and Manju Warrier play lead roles in the films. Ratings -3.5/5 stars  After the underwhelming Valimai, a lot was riding on Ajith Kumar and H Vinoth’s third collaboration, Thunivu. The film’s trailer set the tone for a commercial entertainer centered around a bank heist and fans were eager to see Ajith become an anti-hero once again after the much-celebrated Mankatha. Has Thunivu lived up to expectations? Let us find out! It’s interesting that throughout Thunivu, we don’t get to know Ajith’s name in the film. He is known as the Darkdevil or Chief or even Michael Jackson for a brief period of time. Ajith, Kanmani (Manju Warrier) and their gang, comprising three more members (Amir, Pavni and Ciby), are contract thieves with an ex...

Suzhal:The Vortex Review

Image
 ‘Suzhal: The Vortex’ review: A terrific star cast makes this layered series all the more effective The series created by Pushkar and Gayatri, and directed by Bramma and Anucharan, is a rare piece of literary work that studies a close-knit community, questioning their beliefs and customs without taking a patronising tone A still from the series Narratives mounted against the backdrop of a neighbourhood or a small town seem to have tremendous potential for drama. Filmmakers have done this time and again in successful TV shows and movies — globally. It is a winning formula for the simple reason that the main arc of such stories is the community through which we get a sense of the bigger picture that is at play. In Suzhal: The Vortex, the eight-episode series created by Pushkar and Gayatri, the main story arc is about the small-knit community. A microcosm thrives in this fictional town called Sembaloor, where everybody knows everybody. There is also a grave danger in knowing too much ...
