Cast: Akshay Kumar, Ayesha Takia, Jaaved Jafferi, Sharmila Tagore, Benjamin Gilani, Girish Karnad, Rushad Rana, Anant Mahadevan, Uttara Baokar

Director: Nagesh Kukunoor

In his latest, Nagesh Kukunoor dumps earthly pleasures for supernatural hi-jinks, by making his hero capable of seeing the third dimension: Akshay stares deeply at photographs and zip, zap, zoom, he’s back at the time the pictures were taken. Mumbo-jumbo or Ripley’s Believe It Or Not?

Canada-based Jai (Akshay), protector of grizzlies, loves his girl-friend Sheela (Ayesha) and hates his dad’s (Benjamin) big business interests. And then one day the latter pops it, in the middle of an ocean, on a pristine-white yatch, surrounded by wife (Sharmila), and cronies (Girish, Anant, Rushad). Accident or murder?

Kukunoor uses the lush green of the Canadian countryside to give us one of the most picturesque films we’ve seen in a while. His story is interesting too, though you get the niggling feeling that it depends, for its tone, a tad too heavily on sundry Hollywood thrillers: it’s got a live-in couple (Akki kneels on the rumpled bed and asks if Ayesha will marry him; the latter clasps her French-manicured hands, and nods, eyes brimming over), a mom who wears well-tailored pants and jackets, a weirdo sleuth (Jaaved) who suffers from an obsessive compulsive disorder, and a colourful psychic (Uttara) who reads cards.

‘8X10 Tasveer’ sucks us in with a nice, brisk start, but Kukunoor doesn’t make of his surprising change of genre—from situational comedies to freaky thrillers—as much as he should have. Situations get into a repetitive loop, and the pace flags. As Akshay prepares to go into one of his many, many trances—hold up photo, stare, let head loll back, breathe loud, and voila, see what happened—you wonder what the film’s editor was doing.

The lead role is tailor made for Akshay, who displays splendid dare-devilry in breathtaking jumps off cliffs, and racing up and down steep slopes. But the rest of it keeps going off track. And the over-stretched climax, involving Akshay and Ayesha and guns and a bloody shovel, is just plain cheesy.

1. Prabhas Looks 2. Stylish Representation 3. Manisharma's Music 4. Gripping First Half 5. Stunning Action scenes 6: Anushka's Looks 1 . Weak Climax 2: Lack Of comedy in 2nd half

Prabhas as the ruthless Billa is a revelation. Stylish, menacing and electrifying, he seems to have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and has completely lived up to it


Action scenes are the highlights. The car chase sequences are first of its kind in Telugu , with Prabhas’s racing image adding to the grandeur. Sound effects are perfect and in sync with natural sound and the credit goes to

Manisharma does it once again. The pictursising of the songs is quite appealing

. The two biggest assests of the film are costume department and cinematography section.The cinematographer’s work is of superlative nature and the result is an absolute visual delight. Seamless editing adds to the flow of the film.

On the whole, neatly packaged, Billa has lived up to its hype. If you are looking for an enjoyable fantasy ride, you wouldn’t be disappointed.


BO verdict : Hit

Actor Junior NTR suffered serious injuries when the car in which he was travelling collided with another car late Thursday night near Mothe village in Nalgonda district. He has been admitted to the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Secunderabad.

Police said the actor was returning to Hyderabad, after his road show at Khammam when his SUV collided with a car coming in the opposite direction. Junior NTR who was sitting in the passenger seat was thrown out of the vehicle, and dragged for about 50 metres on the road.

Doctors at KIMS said he had three broken ribs, slight compression in the lower spinal cord, but said he was out of danger. He has been advised bed rest for at least three weeks. Doctors said there were abrasions on his arms, back and shoulders.

After Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu who have appeared in soft drink commercials, it's Ram Charan Tej’s turn to join Interestingly, he’s the third member of the Chiranjeevi family to be seen endorsing a soft drink. And our guess is he'll soon be doing beauty soaps and creams! But first, the bubbling news. When we called to confirm, Ram expressed amazement and seemed impressed with our networking. Finally, he conceded, "It was just a few hours of work but I enjoyed the unique experience," sounding still surprised.

Working with Deepika Padukone was an experience, he shared. "I had watched Om Shanti Om and liked her work so it was easy to go along. She’s made it big in Bollywood despite beginning her career in the South," he said. Is it true that the shoot was done in Mumbai and not Hyd? Charan confirmed the news but dismissed any allusion we made to ego issues and star status since he had to fly down and she didn't come here. He said, "It's elegantly shot and it's going to look sleek." Well, all we know is that, here's a jodi we'd love to see sizzle on Telugu cinema

Replacing the stronghold place of Chiranjeevi, his junior Ram Charan Teja has now been signed up as the brand ambassador to endorse Pepsi in Andhra Pradesh.

Statistics derived says that in India, Thums Up is still the market leader in the states of AP, West Bengal and parts of UP. Megastar of Telugu cinema and the now leader of Praja Rajyam party, Chiranjeevi was once the iconic signature of Thums Up and his endorsement influenced the sales largely in those times.

To break into the market, PEPSICO has roped in Ram Charan and he is going good so far campaigning for the youngistaan ads. The company has hired Chiru’s brother Pawan Kalyan and even his nephew in the past to increase the sales but all turned out vain with their competitors reigning in the state.

But, in reality the manufacturers are still not aware of a fact that why people love Thums Up over other colas, in this era of Pepsi and Coke. Among different colas, Thums Up is the only drink that has a spicy flavor which has found patrons in these particular regions.

It would be good if they understand that it’s not because of the endorsers but the product. For now, we will have to wait and see if Ram Charan would live up to his father’s name.

Delhi-6 - A Masterpiece indeed

Well, 'Rang De Basanthi' was about embellishing the young rebels with spirit-of-patriotism that had a very colorful appeal. Yippee!! Rakeysh Mehra is back with a bang emblazoning Delhi fantastically. Trust us; it's an unforeseen 'Wall of Old Dilli' where nothing rules, but everyone is surmounted with humanity. Of course, the auteur unravels the beauty of not just the street corners, jelabi shops, but heart-binding relationships… An appealing relationship between various communities has been decorously depicted that draws us straight into streets of Chandni Chowk. Perhaps, it's not 'too-sweet-for-the-heart' moments as there are peculiarities of caste-communalism differences that get us through a chain of unexpected sequences.

Precisely, the film possesses the best attributes of getting ennobled as 'World Cinema'. Maybe, the plot is a bit clichéd to 'Swadesh' where an NRI makes his way to India getting adhered to scenario bounded with happiness and tribulations.

So if you are guessing what could be the common traits between 'Rang De Basanthi' and 'Delhi-6' here we have it for you in a platter. An enriching characterization with the finest narration is what you will witness. Rakeysh brings in a couple of metaphors that goes more relevant across the characters; 'Kaala Bandhar' and Stage Play of 'Ramayana'. Indeed, Rakeysh deserves special applause for these exceptional motifs…

When his Naani (Waheeda Rehman) loves to breathe her last not in New York, but in her hometown Chandni Chowk of Delhi, her grandson Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) fulfills the wish. But sooner, he gets more glued to the new land of fun, frolic and happiness where everyone is blessed with a good heart and his friend. He finds elated amidst the kites, pigeons, sporting snookers with Uncle Ali (Rishi Kapoor) and tasting jelabis. On the pars, he is stuck with puzzling thoughts about witnessing untouchables, an arrogant police officer (Vijay Raaz), and his uncles (Om Puri, Pawan Malhotra) who've risen within their house. And finally, the sweet Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) caged in a circle of ancient-culture.

If you're a good analyst of films, there's something uniquely trenchant with Rakeysh. Unlike other flicks that have carried on with the First-Second half, the director has inherited the narration with 3-Act formulas. Something that isn't common, right? Yeah, 'Delhi-6' is yet another example to suggest the changing face of Bollywood. Getting on with the metaphors of 'Kaala Bandhar' and 'Ramayana' stage plays, he tries pulling the realistic pictorials. When the throngs are bounded devotionally watching the mythological drama, politicians interrupt it. And again, watch the special performance of Lord Shiva's 'Rudra Thandava' for the politician.

It's all about – Even Gods get down for the sake of politicians in the present world. Years back, one incident had really shaken not just the Dilliwalas, but the entire Nation and it was the 'Monkey Man' terrorizing the streets. Blending it to the script, the idea has worked out well. The director's portrayal of the Hindu-Muslim communal conflict and the solution drawn out it is quite appealing.

The characterizations have been brilliantly designed. Rightly as Sonam suggested 'it is Delhi who's the protagonist', it's true and we feel it too. There aren't too many locations, but patently the streets of Chandni Chowk have been decorously portrayed. Hats off to cinematographer Binod Pradhan for a spellbinding piece of work. You don't see Abhishek and Sonam alone presented with prominence, but everyone seems to have had a vital role to play. Be it Rishi Kapoor with his hidden love or the so-called untouchable Divya Dutta; they're top-notching with their performance. Abhishek Bachchan is up with his usual resplendence while Sonam seems to have matured up from her 'Saawariya' days.

The musical score by A.R. Rahman is 'wordlessly colossal', especially the number 'Masakali' is a rich fiesta offered to the audience. Don't miss his background score in the penultimate sequence where there's hunt for the 'Kaala Bandhar'.

Precisely, the screenplay is intricately beautiful that you don't feel like watching the film but taking a walk down 'Delhi-6'.

On the whole, 'Delhi-6' is an incredible flick in terms of all panoramas. The film is simply prodigious with flawlessness and a piece of work that takes Indian Cinema to the next level.

Verdict: The real taste of Delhi.

Drona - Better luck next time Nithin

The theme of a don who lives in a den in an island and forms a group to train kidnapped children into criminals for doing anti-social elements for person benefits is already told in the yesteryear super hit film ‘Rakshasudu’.

‘Drona’ is a rehash of the story with bit of changes here and there. Starring Nithin, Priyamani in the lead cast, J Karuna Kumar has debuted as director with this film, presented by D Saraswathi and produced by DS Rao on Saikrishna Productions banner.

Story

Drona (Nithin) is the only son of Mukhesh Rushi and Sita. Drona’s father Mukesh Rushi is an honest and dedicated Police officer. Drona likes his mother Meenakshi (Sita) so much and love her as his own life. When he was a child Drona steals his father’s revolver to scare his friends. On knowing this his father scolds him, consequently Drona leaves his home and gets lost.

After 10 years, he comes back to his parents with the name Chandu. A Neighboring girl Indu (Priyamani) likes Drona/Chandu a lot. On a fateful day, she finds out that Chandu is none other than the long lost boy, Drona.

What are the consequences that made Drona to comeback after 10 years and get introduce in a disguise? Why was Sarkar group searching for Drona? To get the answers watch ‘Drona’ on screen.

Performance of Cast

Nithin looks determined on screen to taste success and has dedicated himself to come out with a slick performance. He has succeeded in his attempt but the long known vintage plot drags his meticulous trails back and doesn’t reap what is expected out of it.

More than Priyamani, her body acts in the film with abundant glamour in almost all scenes. She has been roped in to give the oomph factor and it does bolster the movie.

Mukhesh Rushi and Sita as Nithins parents gave a good performance. *Kelly Dodge, debuted as a villain with ‘Don’ (Nagarjuna starrer), he has appreciably portrayed the role of Sarkar. Dr.SivaPrasad also did well as Mama. Raghubabu, Sunil, Venu Madhav as Nalla Balu, have done well within the scope of their roles. Bob Anthony as Dange has displayed some good acting skills this time around.

Work of the Crew

Anup Rubens, the music director of ‘Jai’ scores in the background music but it’s a disappointing act when it comes to the songs. The numbers are badly orchestrated and are a major con for the film.

Photography by Bhupathi is beautiful and riveting. Art director Prakash’s work is laudable with the construction of the Den set and for the songs. Fights composed by Selvam Prakash have a touch of realism and is neat. Editing by Gautham Raju is average. Overall, the making value of SaiKrishna Productions is good.

Director’s Portrayal

The director has earlier worked in the direction division of SS Rajamouli and debuted as a director with ‘Drona’. The way he rendered the story line is good but the story is a stale and creates a feel of Deja vu. The director relied more on action and glamour rather than the script which is the heart for any movie. His efforts should be appreciated but it’s a big question if it will bring the audience to cinema halls to make the movie a hit.

Criticism

‘Rakshasudu’ starring Chiranjeevi and Radha was a super hit film of those times and ‘Drona’, the new comer in the same line is disappointing. The storyline has not been properly altered to suit present society and the director has missed to make changes in it.

Flicking a story from the past is not new nowadays, but a sensible filmmaker will surely make his director’s touch felt in the script which will make it a big hit if rehashed. But, the makers of ‘Drona’ didn’t do it and this negligence won’t go unnoticed which will cost them bitterly. Karuna Kumar should rework his skills and make a better comeback next time.

For Nithin, alas! What can we say expect it’s a sad disappointment for the actor who looked forward eagerly to a hit. Let’s hope he gets lucky next time.

Verdict: Disappoints at many instances
