Srikanth 100 film MAHATMA MOVIE REVIEW:
Story:Srikanth's 100 movie seems worked for him. while coming in to the storyDasu (Srikanth) is a rowdy in a basti in Hyderabad. He makes a living out of ‘settlement of petty issues’. A young lawyer Krishnaveni (Bhavana) gets him bail in a petty case and their acquaintance soon develop into romance after a series of events. On other hand, a politician cum business woman (Jyothy) plans to set up SEZ in that basti that move is protested by dwellers headed by a genuine leader (Sekhar). Meanwhile, a local politician cum rowdy leader Dada (Jayaprakash Reddy) also protests against businesswoman and seeks Rs 200 Crores from if she wants to set up SEZ there. Dasu initially believes Dada as good politician and works for him. When Dada tries to take advantage of Dasu, he realizes his fault and plans to contest against him on a newly floated Mahatma party. How Krishnavani and local theatre artiste bring change in Dasu and make him realize the importance of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology is core point of the movie.
Movie Analysis:
This is Srikanth’s 100thmovie. Naturally, he wanted it to be memorable and handed over the project to the director Krishnavamsi who gave him new lease of life with Khadgam. Like Khadgam, Mahatma deals with social issue - the importance of Mahatma ideologies in current politics. Although the theme and intention is noble, the execution is not that absorbing. With a promising start, the film moves into different routes and falters in the end. Scenes prior to interval, and some portions of the second half are interesting and show touch of Krishnavamsi but on the whole the film is pretty ordinary. In fact, second half, especially, the climax sequences are predictable. Sirivennela’s meaningful lyrics in the title song (Kontamandi Inti peru Kadura Gandhi), Jayaprakash Reddy’s performance and pre-interval sequences stand out in the movie.
Artist and other Performances :
Srikanth does his best in the role of a rowdy turned noble person. His honest attempt is visible. As an actor, he can be proud of this film. Of all the cast, it is villain Jayaprakash Reddy who steals the show. It is his career best performance. He looks wily and good-natured - like a true politician. Bhavana as young lawyer is a role similar to many of Krishnavamsi’s heroines. Sowmya has given her voice. She neither looks glamorous nor does she have anything there to prove her mettle as actor. Sekhar is good. Ram Jagan’s role is used perfectly to the narration of the movie and he does justice to various getups he portrayed. Uttej, Parachuri Venkateshwara Rao, Jyothy and others are okay. Brahamandam’s comedy looks so silly. Charmee appears in an item song.
As writer and director Krishnavamsi has delivered socially relevant movies with good presentation in the past, but this time he completely misses the point in narrating engrossingly. His so-called satires on cinema heroes, and other parties and politicians are nothing startling. Sirivennela’s lyrics in the title song are the best. The song will be remembered for a long time than the movie.
Cinematography by Sharat is pretty ordinary. Of five songs composted by Tamil music director Vijay Anthony two are taken from his other Tamil films (Dilemmo. Dilemmo song and Jajjanaka Jajjanaka song) and another one is Telangana folk song.
Final View:
Mahatma’s theme is good and but narration is pretty ordinary. Krishnavamsi seems to have completely lost his 'touch'. Performances of Srikanth and Jayaprakahs Reddy and Sirivennela’s title song stand out. while wacthing this film you may find some similarities with this film’s plotlineEVV directed Rajashekar and Raasi starrer Neti Gandhi. Not entirely but has some resemblance.
Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma
WAKE UP SID HINDI MOVIE REVIEW
story and movie analysis:
seems to it was worked for ranbir ,Wake Up Sid in literal terms is the coming of age story of one rich but irresponsible boy who becomes a man.
Siddharth Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor) never had to try hard and always got everything he wished for on a platter thanks to his affluent family. Freshly out from college, his attitude towards life continues to be careless and carefree as he keeps wandering aimlessly. He befriends Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma) who has come from Kolkata to Mumbai to evolve into an independent woman, and find her own self.
Sid fails in his graduation resulting in a spat with his father (Anupam Kher) after which he leaves his house. He seeks shelter under Aisha’s apartment and life changes drastically as he has to live on his own without his prosperous parental support.
One can instantly draw references of Siddharth Mehra’s carefree characterization from similar characters played by Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan in Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya respectively. The basic premise of the film might seem predictable not because you have seen that several times in films before but experienced something similar in real life. An average youth can relate to Sid since it’s a common phase most might experience in life when one has to shoulder responsibilities after a spoon-fed life.
The simplicity of Ayan Mukerji’s writing is what appeals to the viewer. The screenplay is fresh and frothy and the feel-good factor is devoid of a mushy treatment. The scene where Sid makes an instant cake for Aisha on her birthday or another where a classmate pays his bill when Sid’s credit card stops working are sensitively written and directed. The delicately designed dialogues by Niranjan Iyengar mainly comprising casual conversations from daily life add depth to the drama.
Unconventional as the pairing might seem, the chemistry between Ranbir and Konkona is very richly and gracefully developed. Much against the conventional candyfloss chemistry concocted from dream songs and romance-laden lines, the rapport between the duo is so slice of life and unadulterated. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music is soothing. Mainly playing in the background, it acts as a catalyst to the romance as each song has a lot to say through its multiple montages set in transition mode; much refreshing over the clichéd song and dance.
The pacing is slow but the momentum drops only in the second half where the screenplay tends to get somewhat cyclic. Also most of the subplots from Sid’s friends to Aisha’s neighbour (Kashmera Shah) do not contribute much to the central plot. Again half-baked parallel love-stories of Sid and his colleague Tania and Aisha and her boss (Rahul Khanna) do not make the narrative multidimensional. The second half could have been crisper and the end could have been more innovative.
Technically the film is flawless with Anil Mehta’s cinematography capturing Mumbai city in a fresh perspective. Whether it’s the Mumbai monsoon in the climax or the Queen’s necklace at Marine Drive in the summer nights, each frame is rich in texture. Priyanjali Lahiri and Manish Malhotra’s costume design complement the characters aptly.
Ranbir Kapoor effortlessly gets into the character of Sid and it’s good to see him in a fresh outlook over his lover-boy image so far. Konkona Sen Sharma is dependable as usual and is expressive in her act. Anupam Kher is persuasive in the scene when he confronts Ranbir post his results. Supriya Pathak is a pleasant change from the regular Kirron Kher kind Bollywood moms. Rahul Khanna almost gets to play the same special appearance character that he did in recent films like Love Aaj Kal and Dil Kabaddi . Shikha Talsania and Namit Das as Sid’s friends are decent. Kashmera Shah gets no scope.
final view:
It’s pleasing to see Bollywood warming up to fresh talents like Ayan Mukerji and waking up to compelling narratives like Wake Up Sid .
Cast: Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Sushmita Sen
DONT KNOT DISTRUB HINDI MOVIE REVIEW
STORY AND MOVIE ANALYSIS:
After disturbing and disrupting several Hollywood and South Indian films over the past two decades, David Dhawan seems to have discovered that there’s enough to be duplicated from his own bank of slapsticks. So the characterizations of Govinda and Sushmita Sen are directly derived from Kyunki Main Jhooth Nahi Bolta . The source material is obtained from Sushmita’s solo claim-to-fame Biwi No.1 with the basic plot of a married man falling in love with another girl. Just this time Sushmita is upgraded to playing a Gharwali while Lara Dutta is cast as the Baharwali. One Kunwara Riteish Deshmukh is hired by Govinda to pose as baharwali’s boyfriend so that gharwali doesn’t doubt him. Enter baharwali’s ex-love Sohail Khan who is undergoing anger management lessons analogous to Salman Khan in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi . Gradually the commotion in this comedy-of-errors (rather erroneous comedy) gives a déjà vu effect of Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya . So disinterested are you in this disturbance that when a dead detective (Ranvir Shorey) keeps drifting throughout the second half, you indifferently end up saying Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron . The writers are undeterred by the fact that Lara Dutta almost did the same deadpan drama in Masti and the adulterous plot almost played on similar lines in No Entry . The characters don’t speak but scream, don’t act but emphasize on antics and the director seems to take the term slapstick somewhat literally, sticking to a slap in every alternate scene. Forget credible characterizations, even character names are as ridiculous as Diesel, Gobar, Nunnu or Bantu. There are baseless tributary take-offs on Deewaar that do not amuse at all. As much boring and bland each gag is, the director has the audacity to repeat them for a second and third time. And when Dhawan realizes that the screenplay cannot be stretched any further, all conflicts are conveniently resolved in split-seconds through emotional outbursts. One would have even endured this agony had the film ended there. But it continues for some more moments to show a rotund and repulsive Sushmita Sen and an abrupt and absurd end. It pains to see the comic genius of the trio of Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh and Ranvir Shorey to be criminally wasted in a shoddy script. As attractive as Lara Dutta maybe in the film, she acts horribly. Sushmita Sen seems to be conned in an extended special appearance. Sohail Khan isn’t funny. Despite his histrionic hamming, Rajpal Yadav induces some residue laughs. ‘Fun lies behind closed doors’ reads the tagline of the film. One would rather close doors to such farcical fun. It’s time directors STOP taking the viewer for granted. Take the cue from the title. Do not bother to disturb yourself for this deafening drama.

The film was a success in multiplexes and was a favourite with the critics. Konkona's performance as a Tamil housewife in this movie got her the National Film Award for Best Actress. This was followed by the critically acclaimed film, Page 3 (2005), though the film was an average performer at the box office. Her role drew a lot of praise and she became a more familiar face to the movie-going public. She won the Zee Cine Award Best Female Debut for this performance, which was her first act in commercial cinema.
She followed it up with another acclaimed performances in 15 Park Avenue (2005) and Omkara (2006). For the latter, she received the both Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award and National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her next release Deadline: Sirf 24 Ghante (2006) got average reviews. In 2006, Konkona made her directorial debut with a 18 mins Bengali short film Naamkoron (Naming Ceremony) for the Kala Ghoda Film Festival.

This film did not do well at box office but Konkona got good reviews for her tomboy looks and performances in the film. Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN noted,"Konkona Sen Sharma is nothing short of fantastic. Her greatest strength is that she isn't afraid of making a fool of herself and she doesn't worry about being laughed at. As a result, her performance in Aaja Nachle is fearless and uninhibited."

Upon release, the film met with highly positive reviews from critics, as did Konkona's performance, but did not perform as expected at the box-office.She also has completed shooting for Rituparno Ghosh's comedy film Sunglass and Ayan Mukerjee's romantic comedy Wake Up Sid in which she is to star alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
