âAnumana Pakshiâ movie review: A cluttered, exhausting crime comedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A second film by a director who is off to a successful start is generally considered a hurdle to cross. The safer route that most storytellers opt for is to stay within the same milieu as their hit film, with minor changes. Director Vimal Krishna succumbs to that demand with his sophomore outing, Anumana Pakshi, a wacky crime comedy in the same zone as his Telugu hit DJ Tillu, but set to a different metre. Anumana Pakshiâs similarity to DJ Tillu largely lies in its genre and premise: an eccent
How Telugu film music is changing: A space where mass, class and niche coexist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From viral songs to background scores, Telugu film music is changing rapidly. Yet it remains one of the few industries where every style of music thrives. Take this week’s film The Paradise for instance. While Anirudh Ravichander’s compositions for ‘Aaya Sher’ and ‘Yesha Nagula’ were chartbusters, the more soulful numbers emerged closer to the release date. A few years ago, composer S. Thaman compared a music album to a marriage invitation card that entices listeners to hit theatres. Music can s
âHappy Journeyâ movie review: A well-intentioned yet clumsy all-women holiday film (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The prospect of a bright, colourful Telugu film about women across age groups and walks of life bonding over a European holiday is like music to the ears. The sheer rarity of such a narrative in an industry that often functions like an all-boys club can make some of us root for it instantly. After all, an all-woman road film offers abundant room to unpack how these characters view the world while indulging in some mischief. Director Abhiramm Naiduâs film is packed with contrasting characters w
âMahendragiri Varahiâ movie review: Sumanth is the only saving grace of this stale, tiring supernatural thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The problem with films aligning with a particular trend is that they are always playing catch-up. Filmmakers have to hope the trend does not reach saturation anytime soon. Mahendragiri Varahi, a Telugu supernatural thriller that has been in the making for a few years, feels stale for the same reason. Surprisingly, it proceeds along the same lines as Santhosh Jagarlapudi and Sumanthâs earlier collaboration, Subrahmanyapuram. Both Mahendragiri Varahi and Subrahmanyapuram are clearly inspired by
âRamba Oorvasi Menakaâ movie review: Allari Nareshâs socio-fantasy is stuck in a time warp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nostalgia always offers us a comfortable shoulder to lean on when the going isnât smooth. This holds true in the case of films when an actor goes through a lean patch. Something that has worked in the past becomes a safety net to mitigate failure. After a series of unsuccessful attempts to reinvent himself post the success of Naandhi, Allari Naresh drifts back to his comfort zone with director Chandra Mohan Chintadaâs Telugu film, Ramba Oorvasi Menaka. Suri (Allari Naresh) is a wannabe actor
