BAAHUBALI 2 - The conclusion REVIEW

Cast: Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Satyaraj, Ramya Krishnan, Nasser

Music: M M Keeravani

Direction: S S Rajamouli

Baahubali 2- The conclusion is a visual extravaganza revealing ‘Why Kattapa Killed Bahubali?’, which created a huge buzz over the past two years. The state of the art buildings, appealing costumes, visual effects are just enough to watch the film. But Baahubali2 is not just about visual treat, it’s a emotional drama with strong characters . Sivagami (played by Ramya Krishnan) is a commanding woman who maintains justice in the kingdom. None other than Ramya Krishnan could have done this role. It’s unfair to say her performance as a positive, as it could undermine it. Nasser proves it again why he is the best character artist. The cunning face while he persuade Sivagami is a proof to it.

Satyaraj (as Kattapa) had a chance for some comedy scenes. As it’s his forte he fairs enough to bring laughter. While expressing emotions, sad or happiness, he make the audience emotional. Prabhas will most probably called as Baahubali after this film. He probably be loved more by the audience than the people of the kingdom. Devasena, played by Anushka Shetty, is her career best performance. Either it’s graceful dance or vigorous fight, she nails it. Rana Daggubati ‘s character and his portrayal of Pallvallthevan has made everyone love Baahubali more. His portrayal is that heinous and their rivalry is just awesome.

All these strong characters written by Vijayendra Prasad and Rajamouli’s gripping screenplay makes this long film interesting. The screenplay is engaging enough that one forgets about the question and get more involved in the story. The movie has back to back goose bump moments. The interval scene will give a orgasm. The intense dialogues just elevates the emotions.

M M Keeravani’s background score is a reason for hair raining moments. But the songs are average and are the only portions where the film is boring. The stunt scenes are jaw dropping except the climax fight. It’s disappointing when the film has many authentic fight scenes and the main climax is little hilarious. Anyways that is not a big concern.

Verdict: Not just visual extravaganza. A brilliant emotional rivalry.

Velaikkaran Review

Cast: Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara, Fahad Fazil, Rohini Music: Anirudh Direction: Mohan Raja Mohan Raja decides to narrate the core problem from the first scene. The narration dialogue in the opening relating genetic disorder and social hierarchy tells the director has brought us another social issue. The problem which Arivu (Sivakarthikeyan) face gets dedicated attention. The story and screenplay is written around the problem which get rids of unnecessary contents. Yet we get a duet song post interval which seems misfit. Arivu’s character is brilliantly written and its Sivakarthikeyan’s best in his career. He opens a radio station for his slum and he wants to awake his slum people from certain misguided things. This trait becomes huge as film progress and now he cares for whole nation. The stories inside the slum and the main problem get linked in a marvellous way. The scene that relates two different professions is amazing. The film has many characters and not

Arjun Reddy Review

Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Shalini, Rahul Ramakrishna, Music: Radhan Direction: Sandeep Vanga When the film gets over and while you walk out of the theatre have you heard a few people saying “It’s a normal same old story” (No one did for this film). Arjun Reddy is such a film with same old story. Arjun Reddy (played by Vijay Deverakonda, about whom I will talk in a while) is a topper in his medical college and a short tempered guy with zero anger management. He meets a first year girl, Preethi (played by Shalini) and they fall in love. What happens to Arjun after his love failure is what explored in a unique way. So this not a film that you can expect every year. This is a film that has a beautiful narration enthralling you for 3 hours. The initial scenes when Arjun frequently visits Preethi are a little surprising as Preethi never utters a word whenever he visits her. You start thinking what kind of love it is. But the love that Arjun has on Preethi is explained in

Thoughts on Vishwaroopam

*Spoiler ahead With Vishwaroopam 2 scheduled to release around this weekend (Hopefully, considering all Kamal films face release issues), I decided to write on the things that I loved in Vishwaroopam. Vishwaroopam 2 is a prequel as well as a sequel to the 2013 release Vishwaroopam. Kamal Hassan as a writer and director has always impressed me more than the actor. Vishwaroopam is a treat for someone like me who likes the writer Kamal Hassan. The story of Vishwaroopam starts with Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) talking to her counselor about her relationship with Vishwanath (Kamal Hassan) and her secret relationship with Deepak (her boss). Kamal Hassan’s writing is clever. See how Nirupama refers to him to her counselor, as Wiz, which is short from of his real name Wizam Ahmed Kasmiri also for his spy name Vishwanath. Only a very few actors have command over their body. Kamal Hassan has mastered it. The transformation scene, where he fights after being innocent works every tim
