Review : Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindhe – Enjoyable Romantic Comedy
Young Hero Nithiin’s ‘Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindhe’ has released today across the world. Nithiin,
Nithya Menen and Isha Talwar are the lead actors in this movie, which has been directed by Vijay
Kumar Konda. Sresht Movies banner has produced the film and Anoop Rubens has composed the
music. The film is crucial for Nithiin, as it coming after the success of ‘Ishq’. Let us see how GJG is
Story :
The story of ‘Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindhe’ is simple, but sweet. Karthik (Nithiin) is a fiercely
independent youngster, who likes to live life on his terms. He believes in a hands on approach to
things. During the wedding party of his friend Pandu (Ali), Karthik comes across Shruthi (Isha Talwar)
and instantly falls in love with her. He obtains her phone number through Pandu and starts calling
her on a regular basis.
But as fate would have it, Karthik gets the wrong number and he actually keeps calling Shravani
(Nithya Menen), instead of Shruthi. Shravani is a very rich young girl, who fantasizes about falling in
love with an anonymous lover. She wants someone who loves her for what she is, without caring
about her beauty or her wealth. Karthik meets all her requirements and it is a dream come true for
her.
A breezy romance starts over the phone. Karthik and Shravani fall in love with each other for
completely different reasons. But the happiness is short lived and the story takes a twist when both
parties come to know about the mix up.
What happens next? Who will Karthik end up with? Watch the film to know the rest.
Plus Points :
Nithiin is a perfect fit for the role of Karthik. Beginning with ‘Ishq’, he has transformed himself
completely in terms of acting and body language. His costumes are cool and he now has a certain
ease on screen. His dances in Pawan Kalyan’s remix song are outstanding. With the help of
technology, the makers have shown Pawan Kalyan and Nithiin dancing together and this sequence
has come out really well. Nithiin is getting good at comedy and his timing is spot on in this movie.
Nithya Menen is once again the undisputed star of the film. In a character that has multiple shades,
she shines through brilliantly. Nithya has very expressive eyes and she uses them to devastating
effect while conveying emotions. Her performance is a treat to watch in this movie.
The chemistry between Nithiin and Nithya is outstanding and is a major highlight for the movie.
Their scenes have been written and shot very well. The romantic track between Nithiin and Nithya
has a lot of depth. There is tenderness, humour and emotional bonding between the characters.
Climax sequence is good and the scenes will tug at your heartstrings.
Isha Talwar is decent. Ali entertains well as Nithiin’s friend. Thagubothu Ramesh brings a few laughs
in a brief role. Madhu has performed well as Nithiin’s friend and his romantic track with Isha Talwar
is quite humorous.
Clever screenplay and intelligent humour are the film’s biggest assets. Pace of narration is fast and
the entertainment quotient is maintained right through the film. Songs have been shot well,
especially the title song, Pawan Kalyan’s remix song and ‘Thu hi Re’.
There are a number of references to Pawan Kalyan and the famous ‘nadum’ scene from ‘Khushi’ has
been used cleverly in the film.
Minus Points :
When compared to the first half, the second half loses pace slightly for a while. Jwala Gutta is not
very effective as a dancer.
Some cinematic liberties have been taken with the story. When you speak to someone for hours
together on the phone, and consider that person as your soul mate, will you not recognise that voice
when he/she comes in front of you?
The gay comedy scenes are fun for a while, but may not be enjoyed by everyone – especially family
crowds. Raghu Babu is wasted in a comedy track that does not really gel with the rest of the film.
Technical Aspects :
Andrew’s cinematography is very good and it lends a rich feel to the visuals. Editing is very good.
Dialogues are superb and they are a big asset for the film. Anoop Rubens has composed the film’s
music and he has done a good job.
Vijay Kumar Konda shows great promise as a director. It is quite tough to engage the attention of
viewers with such a simple storyline, but he succeeds.
Verdict :
‘Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindhe’ is a nicely written and well executed romantic comedy. Superb
chemistry between Nithiin and Nithya, a high comedy quotient and intelligent screenplay make this
film a very enjoyable watch. Nithiin has a potential Box Office winner on his hands.

Ek Thi Daayan Hindi Movie Review – A Sinister Tale of Beauties
Producers Ekta Kapoor and
Vishal Bhardwaj collaborate
for a unique and never-
touched-before concept with
Ek Thi Daayan. Directed by
Kannan Iyer, the movie is a
supernatural thriller starring
Emraan Hashmi, Konkana Sen
Sharma, Huma Qureshi and
Kalki Koechlin in lead roles.
The film is set to hit the
theatres tomorrow and let’s
see whether it manages to
horrify as expected.
Story:
The movie starts off with Bobo
(Emraan Hashmi),a world
famous magician who is stuck
amidst frequent horrific
illusions from his childhood.
His condition forces him to
visit his childhood
psychiatrist. During one of his
hypnosis session, Bobo
recollects his terrifying past,
where his sister and father are
killed by a Daayan, named
Daayana (Konkana Sen
Sharma).
His girlfriend, Tamara (Huma
Qureshi) doesn’t believe in his
illusions and helps him to
carry on in life. As soon as he
tries to forget his past, Lisa
Dutt (Kalki Koechlin) enters
the scene who reminds Bobo
of Daayana. Is Lisa too a part
of Bobo’s illusions or is she
for real? How does Bobo get
rid of his hallucinations ? That
forms the rest of the story.
Positive Points:
After all the bollywood horror
flicks revolving around
aatmas, ghosts and black
magic, the makers of Ek Thi
Daayan add a new genus of
Daayans to the league. Kannan
Iyer brings a new form of
horror to Indian cinema with
a concept as unique as this
one and manages to terrorize
the audiences brilliantly.
The movie revolves around
Emraan Hashmi and he doesn’t
let the viewers get their eyes
off him. The actor’s
performance is par
excellence. Out of the three
Daayan’s, Konkana Sen Sharma
excels in her role. Even
though the movie is her debut
in the horror genre, she
manages to play her character
terrifically.
Kalki Koechlin doesn’t have
much to do in the film, but
manages to portray her
character well. Huma Qureshi
gives an endearing
performance. Special mention
goes to Rajatava Dutta
(Emraan’s doctor) and Vishesh
Tiwari (the young Emraan),
who have depicted their parts
extremely well. The small girl
playing Emraan’s childhood
sister is simply adorable.
Negative Points:
The movie is an adaptation of
Mukul Sharma’s (Konkana’s
father) short story and it
would have been more
convincing if it was made any
shorter. Even though the film
has a few extremely spooky
moments, a few scenes just do
not go with the flow. The
movie gets confusing as it
processes and goes completely
out of track by the climax.
Huma Qureshi is a zilch as
compared to her previous
acclaimed performances. The
movie could have done better
without Kalki’s character,
which doesn’t have much to
do. The climax of the film is
confusing and the second half
is elongated to an extent that
it takes the viewers interest
off.
Technical Aspects:
The music of the film given by
Vishal Bhardwaj is definitely a
plus. Yaaram, Kali Kali and
Lautungi Main go with the
flow and act as refreshments.
Totey Ud Gaye is an appealing
number. Saurabh Goswami
handles the camera in a
marvelous way and captures
the spooky sequences
extremely well.
Clinton Cerejo’s background
score gives a horrific effect to
the film. While the first half of
the film is informative and
interesting, the second half
becoming dreary by the end.
Kannan Iyer manages to
indulge the viewers in a new
genre pretty well. His
screenplay is tight and doesn’t
let the film wander.
Verdict:
On the whole, Ek Thi Daayan
is a distinctive and unique
addition to the horror genre.
Apart from a few confusing
scenes, the movie will be liked
by all types of audiences,
whether or not one believes in
Daayans. This one is
unquestionably worth a shot.
Movie Rating : 3.25/5

Baadshah Movie Review : Another Blockbuster For NTR
| Director : Srinu Vaitla | |
| Producer : Bandla Ganesh Babu | |
| Music Director : S. Thaman | |
| Starring : NTR, Kajal Aggarwal, Navdeep |
Young Tiger NTR’s ‘Baadshah’ is all set to hit the screens tomorrow (April 5th) in a big way. We have been to a special screening of the film and this is the first and exclusive review of ‘Baadshah’, specially for 123telugu.com readers. The movie has been directed by Sreenu Vaitla and Bandla Ganesh is the producer. Expectations on the film are sky high, so let us see if the film lives up to the hype.
Story :
Baadshah (NTR) is the youngest and most aggressive player in the international crime syndicate headed by Saadhu Bhai (Kelly Dorji). Baadshah’s father Ranjan (Mukesh Rushi) operates a very profitable casino in Macau and he is a trusted aide of Saadhu Bhai. Baadshah’s intelligence, ambition and aggression soon put him on a collision course with Saadhu Bhai and the Don wants to finish off the young upstart. With the help of rival Dons Crazy Robert (Ashish Vidyardhi) and Violent Victor (Pradeep Rawat), Saadhu tries to eliminate Baadshah and his family.
Saadhu also plans large scale terrorist attacks in all the major metros of India. Baadshah vows to foil the plans of Saadhu and to do this, he takes the help of Janaki (Kajal) and her father Jai Krishna Simha (Nasser). Jai Krishna Simha is the Police Commissioner of Hyderabad and he is a very strict head of a joint family that also includes Padmanabha Simha (Brahmanandam).
As the story progresses, it becomes clear that there is more to Baadshah than what meets the eye. He has a tragic past and a powerful motive for taking on Saadhu Bhai. What is that motive? Who is Baadshah? How does Padmanabha Simha fit into the plans of Baadshah? That forms the rest of the story.
Plus Points :
NTR is simply brilliant as Baadshah. The character demands aggression, style and ruthlessness. NTR displays all three qualities in abundance. His comedy timing is spot on and the sequences with Kajal in Italy are very entertaining. In the second half of the film, he changes his appearance and dialogue delivery effortlessly, to transform into someone else (I don’t want to reveal more details). NTR’s dances in ‘Sairo Sairo’ and ‘Rangoli Rangoli’ are fantastic.
The film will be a feast for fans. There are some special sequences that have been designed to delight them. Special mention must be made of NTR’s brief appearance in the Justice Chowdhary getup. The resemblance to his legendary grandfather is just too much. In the second half, there is a very entertaining sangeeth episode based on a medley of Sr NTR’s popular songs.
Superstar Mahesh Babu’s voice over comes in at a number of crucial junctures in the first half and it is effective. Brahmanandam is hilarious as Inspector Padmanabha Simha and he is a major asset for the film. His scenes with NTR and Nasser are rib-tickling. Sreenu Vaitla has cleverly used the ‘living out a dream’ concept from the Hollywood flick ‘Inception’ to come up with Brahmanandam’s comedy track.
M.S. Narayana is perfect for the role of film director Revenge Nageswara Rao and he will make you laugh. The character has an uncanny resemblance to Ram Gopal Varma but it is not offensive. M.S. Narayana takes care of the comedy in the first half along with NTR, Vennela Kishore and Kajal.
Kajal entertains with her ‘Banthi’ philosophy and corny one liners. She looks quite glamorous in the movie. Suhasini is neat. Navdeep has done well as an evil cop. Hero Siddharth has a very small but very crucial role in the film. Nasser is effective as the strict police officer. Pragathi has come up with a surprisingly effective and entertaining dance in the sangeeth ceremony sequence.
The second half of the film is packed with entertainment. Fast paced narration, superb comedy sequences and three peppy songs (Banthi Poola Janaki, Welcome Kanakam and Rangoli Rangoli) will keep viewers happy. All the songs have very rich visuals.
Minus Points :
The film has certain similarities to a number of Sreenu Vaitla’s past projects.Talented actors like Jayaprakash Reddy, Brahmaji, Tanikella Bharani, Master Bharath, Chandra Mohan and Thagubothu Ramesh did not receive characters fit for their abilities.
The movie slows down a little as it approaches the interval. A fight sequence should have been chopped off to speed up things.
Technical Aspects :
Four different cinematographers worked for the film and it is difficult to say who shot what. But the visuals look very rich and colourful. Editing could have been better in the first half. Thaman’s background score is effective and lends good support to the proceedings.
Choreography is good for all the songs. Sairo Sairo and Rangoli have the best steps. Dialogues are hilarious and the one liners are very effective. Credit must go to Sreenu Vaitla, Gopi Mohan and Kona Venkat for this.
Sreenu Vaitla scores at the Box Office because of the entertainment quotient in his films. ‘Baadshah’ is no different. He has come up with some good comedy sequences in the movie. He has used Brahmanandam and M.S.Narayana effectively.
Production values are very good.
Verdict :
Baadshah is a very effective entertainer for the summer holidays. Brilliant performances from NTR, Kajal, Brahmanandam and M.S.Narayana coupled with a highly entertaining second half are major plus points for the film. Despite similarities to Sreenu Vaitla’s past projects, the film makes for a very enjoyable watch. Catch ‘Baadshah’ this weekend. Entertainment is guaranteed!
Movie Rating – 3.75/5
