Alone 2015 Hindi Movie Review

Times of badly ripping off, blatantly ripping off or even being inspired by international films are way past behind. The latest is officially taking the rights, remaking the film no matter how bad the remake may turn out to be, at least we do it with a head held high right?

Similar seems to be the case of Bhushan Patel's Bipasha Basu, Karan Singh Grover starrer Alone. An official remake of the Thai film by the same name, Alone promises sex and spook but sadly for the audience expecting either, the movie falls flat.

For the ones who haven't seen the much celebrated Thai horror film, Alone is about conjoined twins Sanjana and Anjana, both played by Bipasha Basu. The two not just physically but also emotionally bound to each other and vow to remain together till forever. But their sisterhood gets shaken and broken the moment the hottie Kabir (Karan Singh Grover) walks into their lives and both fall head over heels in love with him. Natural as it may seem, Kabir falls for only one of the two leading to the other turning into a evil queen. The two decide to get operated and one of the sisters loses her life in the process while the one alive goes on with her live like nothing happened. Until, the twin rises from the dead only to haunt and take back what's hers.

It would be wrong to put down Bhushan Patel's efforts outright. The maker who has Ragini MMS to his credit definitely knows the horror space a little better. However, it's the script and the constricted space the story gets to evolve that mires the film completely. If not for anything, Alone is a highly predictable fare literally to an extent that you can to know what the big twist is much before it actually happens. Moreover, except for a few moments that catch you off-guard and manage to startle you, the spook fest largely uses the staple means of scaring which have been done to death in Hindi horror films.

The current Horror Queen Bipasha Basu surely knows her spooky business and does a decent job when it comes to acting. Needless to say, she looks sexy as hell too. But it's Karan Singh Grover, the latest import from small screen who also matches footsteps with Bipasha in the film. The hunk definitely knows how to look his best and takes no time to drop off his shirt every now and then. However, it's the performance where he takes the hit, not that he gets way too much to do in the film consisting of two Bipasha Basu-s.

To sum it up, with a successful story at hand, Alone could've been a real scare-fest had the makers invested in the script and screenplay writers. With the product that it is, the only draw for the audience is Bipasha-Karan's sizzling chemistry and the music which has already captivated the music lovers.

I (Ai) 2015 telugu movie Review

'I' is a story in non linear narration and is difficult to write. To keep it simple, A physically deformed man with a hunch, Lingesh (Vikram) kidnaps a popular model Diya (Amy Jackson) from her wedding. From then the non-linear narration begins with the flashback and the present. The Flash back is about Lingesh (Vikram) a bodybuilder aspiring to win Mr.India title. He admires Diya and falls for her instantly when he meets her during an ad shoot. He wins Mr. Andhra title and then Diya asks him to shoot an (I) doubt ad with him. The ad receives huge response and company owner plans to shoot every big ad with him. In the meantime, Diya gets engaged to Lingesh. But all of a sudden this hunch back and the kidnap happens. What is the reason? forms the rest of the story.

Vikram plays three different roles as a bodybuilder, hunched man and a werewolf. He puts in all the hardwork in the World for the film and it is seen in the every frame. Particularly the Lingesh Character is awesome with a very natural look using heaps of makeup and prosthetic. Amy Jackson is oozing glamour in every frame. However the disappointing thing is the zero chemistry between the lead pair. Upen Patel is impressive as a wicked model.Suresh Gopi is good as the doctor. Ram Kumar Ganeshan and Ojas M. Rajani are adequate in their small roles. Santhanam comedy fails to work.

It may be the first time Shankar himself let down a film. The movie script seem to be very weak and does not have the emotional connect usually the backbone in Shankar's films. Vikram's hard work is complimented by every one, Cinematograher PC Sriram, AR Rahman's music and Muthuraj's Art work but all of them were squandered by Shankar.

The movie is painfully long (over 3 hours) with several irritating scenes like gay romance. The only reason if some one sits through out for the film is the expectation on Shankar. Production Values of Aascar Ravinchandran are top notch.

Finally you may watch the film for the technical brilliance, hard work of Vikram and some breath taking locales, if you are expecting a Shankar kind of magic, get ready to get disappointed.

Gopala Gopala 2015 Telugu Movie Review

Gopala Rao (Venkatesh) is an atheist but runs a Pooja Samagri Store. He cash the sentiments of people for his benefit. One day, an earthquake destroys his shop and brings him on to roads. He approaches the insurance company for compensation but gets refused as it is an 'Act of God'. Disturbed Gopala Rao finally drags God and few Babas to court for the 'Act of God'. But God (Pawan Kalyan) himself descends to Earth to help Gopala Rao. What happens next is the rest of the story.

Pawan Kalyan is the show stealer of the film. The transformation from the Mass Masala roles he played recently to the character of God is simply awesome. He enters the film just before the interval and carries the entire second half on his shoulders. Venkatesh is an apt fit for the role of an Upper Middle Class Businessman. He is impressive in emotional scenes and is very effective in courtroom scenes. The scenes between both of them have come up very well. Shriya gets a very limited role while Mithun Chakraborty's role is a copy paste from the original. Posani is hilarious in Swamiji's role.

Director Dolly struck to the Original with out many deviations. The film is partly engaging but gets boring in many places. The first half of the film is strictly average with the all important God entrance poorly shot with worst CG work. The second half of the film is decent with Pawan Kalyan luring audience with his Charishma. Dialogues for Pawan Kalyan are written very well. Production Values of Suresh Productions are dismal and Anoop Rubens' Back Ground Score can be a lot better.

Gopala Gopala is not the regular commercial pot boiler which goes instantly well with our audience. But the movie can be watched for the beautiful compatibility between Venkatesh and Pawan Kalyan. And also the message it carries. The range of the film will be decided on how the masses receive it.

Chinnadana Nee Kosam Telugu Movie Review

Nithin (Nithiin) is a happy go lucky guy who meets the Multi-talented Nandu (Mishti) accidentally and falls for her instantly. They keeps on meeting each other by chance keeping her in an odd spot. A while ago, Nithin helps her in setting up a coashing class at Reddy's (Nasser) place. Very soon both of them turn to be good friends. But in a sudden twist, Nandi leaves to Europe with out any intimation.What is the reason for this sudden Europe trip? Who is Nandu? Will Nithin and Nandu ever meet again? forms the rest of the story.

Nithiin who is seen immitating Pawan Kalyan in his recent films has gone further in this film and literally immiates the actor in every scene. He also put up some weight in the movie. Mishti is totally out of place in the movie. Some how she never looked like she got connected to the role. Senior Naresh, Rohini and Sithara are good but Nassar is too loud in a character with a limited scope. Thagubothu Ramesh, Ali and Madhu have tried to tickle the funny bone but failed to a larger extent.

The film has got a wafer thin story but is totally let down by aimless narration and enigmatic characters. The film starts well but totally goes wayward after that except for some comedy here and there. The movie also have some similarities to Pawan Kalyan's Tholiprema, Attarintiki Daredi and Prabhas' Darling. Director Karunakaran does not seem the same man who directed some classics in the past.

Music is just average and half of the songs wasted in the film. The Background score is fine and the dialogues, particularly delivered by Nithiin are good in parts. Editing of this film is okay. The irritating gay comedy, Ali chase and few forced songs in the second half should have been chopped. The production values of Nithiin home production house are grand.

Chinnadana Nee Kosam at the start appears as a very promising comedy film but very soon disappoints with critical directional errors by Karunakaran. There are several loose ends and senior actors like Nassar, Senior Naresh, Rohini and Ali have totally gone wasted. Finally the movie may have put an end to Nithin's success streak.
