Bheebatsam- Audio Review

Mattivi
Singers: Ranjith,Lyrics: Kandi Konda
The instrumentation, the chorus and the rhythm patterns are the ones that straightaway catch your attention. It is an enigmatic mix of lively western pop and some typical Indian melody. It also has some shades of rock patterns. It is not difficult to slot this song in particular genre. Hell, it doesn't matter, as long as it sounds okay on the ears. And sure it does.
My Rating: ****


Bheebatsam Idhira
Singers: Thaman, Krishna Murthy,Lyrics: Basha Sri
The number starts a variety music borne out of keyboard, coupled with a drumbeat. Guitar sound was included in a mild tone in the background. The tune goes smoothly and in a slow beat.Again, the music director gave a small twist to the tune by keeping a different sound. The composition was very simple with just two or three instruments.
My Rating: ****


Kannire Kannire
Singers: Navin,Lyrics: Kandi Konda
Another solo number. Navin�s voice climbs the higher octaves, with the ease of a slalom skier. The song's instrumentation and the tune have an element of surprise in them.
My Rating: ****


He Bala Bala
Singers: Suchitra,Lyrics: Kandi Konda
This song could be the "Item" number that�s so common in every movie now a days, which has a "heard before" feel, However, Suchitra sings it extremely well.
My Rating: ***


Thappu Ledhu
Singers: Rahul Nambiar,Lyrics: Kandikonda
This song is full of verve and virtuosity. Kandikonda�s words also add their bit to the number. Thaman�s handling of the instruments is also inspirational.
My Rating: ***

Surya s/o Krishnan Audio Review

01 - Yedhane Koiyyake ................

Singer(s): Krish, Benny Dayal, Bhargavi PillaiLyrics: Veturi
The first song sets the tone and timbre for the entire album. Sung with full-throated vivacity, the song is rhythmic and rhapsodic. The rhythm sometimes is heavy on the ear.
�tellare udhayam sandhela aakasam nekosam vesayeee�
My Rating:

3

02 - Naalona Pongenu ................

Singer(s): Harish Raghavendra, Devan, V. PrasannaLyrics: Veturi
This is yet another song from Veturi with high literary values. It is a melody number and one can sit in a relaxed mood and enjoy this song. The music is quite mellifluous and like a lullaby for sometime.
�Nuv nunchone choteedo vela entha palikeno nuv nadiche bathanta manchalle ayyeno�
My Rating:

3.5

03 - Yegasi Yegasi ................

Singer(s): Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer, ChandranLyrics: Veturi
Harris Jayaraj is known for using trendy tunes to his songs. This number has a music that suits this compliment. Use of bass guitar and drums made the audiences to tap their feet.
�Raja ne raja na peta keppudu nenu raja Roja roja nannu vadalanannadi ee roja�
�Jeevithame nippu bhayapadatame tappu�
My Rating :

3.5

04 - Monna Kanipinchavu ................

Singer(s): Naresh Iyer, PrashanthiniLyrics: Veturi
You almost feel like birds warbling, and at higher ranges. The failing of this song the choice of singers. . The humming at the end of the song gives a different feel. You can lend your ears to this.
�ne podde na thodhu vachhey ila vuurantha chusela avudham jatha�..vennala�.vennala�
My Rating :

3

05 - O Shanthi Shanthi ................

Singer(s): Krish, S.P.B. CharanLyrics: Veturi
A totally different kind of number from the previous one. This is a soft and haunting one.
�O Shanthi Shanthi O shanthi na usire unte nethothi e cheyi cheyi vidaleve..vachhane valachi nee thoode�
My Rating :

3

06 - Adhey Nannu ................

Singer(s): Karthik, V. PrasannaLyrics: Veturi
This song starts off with 'naatu' beats the next moment you hear the song, the softness just consumes you. Singers delivers the goods by coming up with the right improvisations and delicate turns. Another magically mesmerizing different number.
My Rating :

3.5

07 - Nidhare Kala ................

Singer(s): Sudha RaghunathanLyrics: Veturi
This is a sad number, and the pathos is not highlighted because of her odd voice. Harris Jairaj has used the violin in the middle for this song. The music at the end of the song gives the feel
My Rating:

3

You will not like it if you are a Harris Jairaj fan; but you will if you are not.

dasavatharam

story:

New story ..there are some loop holes but totally the story is good.Story creates intrest for rotine indian movie lovers. Using sunami dates and butterfly effect in movie is intresting

Perfomances:

Kamal:

kamal is just tremendous. Kamal has 10 different get-ups in this film . He has shown complete variation in expressions , body language and mackup of each and every character. If you are not aware of that fact that kamal is acting in 10 different characters in this film, you might end up watching this film without recognizing kamal in 10 characters. Kamal steals the show esp in indian police, nabiar and villan characters.

Mallika sherawat:

She is really hot and liveed up to her reputation as sex symbol. Mallika who is known for her glamorous looks, has a performance oriented role in this film and proved herself extremely competent as an actress.She has short role and she did well.

Others also did well

Screenplay - direction:

The best part of director is the terrific characterizations and appropriate casting. They way he introduced characters and established them is excellent. He should have taken more care.

Mack up and graphics:

These are the worst part of the movie, decreases the standard from hollywood to kollywood

Music:

Music by Himesh is ok. BGM by Devi is also ok

Others:

Photography is of top class. Artwork is inspiring. Action sequences are excellent. Production values are very rich(care should be taken).

Analysis:

First half of the film is very good. Second half is good. The narration has become slow in the second half.Go watch it twice

Ready review

Ready
one word: its mcdowell murthy's show

Story
Routine plot ....there is a point in story...but i guess i will not get into audience
Actors:
Brahmannandam is ultimate. He should get an award(best comedy for 2008) for his terrific performance. ready is another film that usess acting prowess of brahmanandam.
The heroine genilea is OK.
Ram is also just ok. I donno y many other reviewers praised him?. Even if Manchu vishnu/Raviteja/Nithin does the same character the range of the movie would be d same.
Ram is not so impressive....his new hairstyle and moustache sucks...Most of the times the director used fans to put hair looking good. Mackup is also worse.
Ram and his smile is just ok
Sudha and Co also did well.
Technical departments:
Story - Screenplay - Direction: Story of the film is hotchpotch of many films. Sreenu Vaitla ....no neecd to prove he is as a talented director. The screenplay and comedy in the last hour are brilliant. However, his screenplay is not slick in the first half. Direction and taking of the film are also good. The way he molded the character of Brahmannandam is really praiseworthy.
Dialogues: . There are very good comedy oriented dialogues and evoked humor in the cinema hall.
Songs and Dances:
o1-> routine
2-> sucks
3->old facinated
4->not that good
(some what similar to boys egiri dhumike song)
5->song copied frm patner...set copied frm race
6->once again routine
Just watch the songs as they are part of telugu film.
Dances are good but not so impressive...some steps direct lift from nithins takkari.....
Music: Music by Devi is average. The background music and rerecording is also Pretty awesome when Dharmavarapu comes. but Devi is definitely capable of doing better stuff.
Other departments: Photography of the film is good(colour full.....blurr effect is good......showing spider @ railwaystation is awesome). Action sequences are impressive (I guess there is no need of action)
Analysis: Go and watch it.Mcdowell murthy rocks
