Editor: K. L. Praveen
Action: Ram-Lakshman

Director: Vamshi Paidipally
Release date: May 09, 2019
'Maharshi' is one of the most-anticipated film of 2019 as it is 25th movie in Mahesh Babu’s career. The big-budgeted movie is here.

Touted to be special movie for Mahesh Babu, the film also brings three producers together. Is the film worth of all the hype?

Story line
Rishi (Mahesh Babu) is a successful CEO of a company named Origin in New York. Some of his old friends gather together when he assumes charge and he goes down the memory lane, recalling his college days, his friends Pooja (Pooja Hegde) and Ravi (Allari Naresh).
Rishi initially helps Ravi during his college days. He breaks up with Pooja and has a small fight with Ravi and leaves for USA to pursue a better life.
His professor reveals a secret about Ravi. Repenting Rishi comes back to India looking for Ravi. Rishi’s path and journey in life changes.

Cast performance
‘Okkadu’, ‘Atadu’, ‘Pokiri’, 'Bussinessman’ and ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ and in many more films, Mahesh Babu has shown his range of acting talent in his long career. The role of Rishi has given him a chance to showcase another angle. Mahesh who is in his early 40’s now has appeared as a college student in the first half of this movies. He passes the muster with student looks. He gives his usual best.
After Mahesh Babu, it is Allari Naresh who steals the show. As Mahesh Babu’s close friend, Naresh has got a well-written character and he excels in it, though his role is curtailed after a point.
Pooja Hegde as Mahesh Babu’s girlfriend sizzles in glamour. Jagapathi Babu as corporate villain is just okay.
Vennela Kishore and Srinivasa Reddy have nothing much to do. Prakash Raj and Jayasudha as Mahesh Babu’s parents have given routine expressions. Rajeev Kanakala and Posani appear in small roles.
Music
Devi Sri Prasad has failed to provide foot-tapping numbers. Still two songs have worked out well on screen.
The film has lavish production values and rich cinematography. 
K U Mohanan shot both USA locations and college episodes in bright colors giving richness to the movie.
Action stunts by Ram Lakshman are good in the second half. Editing should have been tighter, the second half is too lengthy.
Highlights:
Mahesh Babu
College episodes in the first half
Some emotional moments
Drawback:
Never ending-like second half
Predictable narration
Similarities with Mahesh’s recent films
 
Analysis
One expects the 25th movie to be special in every way. “Maharshi” being Mahesh Babu’s 25th movie promises the same as it begins on a high note that is mounted on a lavish scale.
Director Vamshi Paidipally has presented Mahesh Babu in two variations in the beginning, that of a corporate guy and a college student. This mixing has worked out well.
The basic point – a guy who went on chasing success and money over relations in the initial point of life and later in the second point he realizes the mistake when he learns that his success is result of someone’s sacrifice – seems interesting on paper.
Director Vamshi Paidiapally begins the film much like Aamir Khan’s “3 Idiots” but the movie soon turns into a totally different one and the narration in the later part goes wrong on multiple levels.
In the beginning of the interval, it is presented that Naresh’s village is being grabbed by a corporate company for a pipeline project and the mission is to save the village and the farmer’s lands. But as the film progresses, it moves to different path and ends up lecturing on various issues related to farming which ends up like a thesis on farmer’s issues.
Like Mahesh Babu gave us lecture in “Srimanthudu” and “Bharat Ane Nenu” on two different subjects, here too he talks at length (again a big press meet sequence much like in “Bharat Ane Nenu”) about farmers. This in turn has turned into a predictable fare.
The journey has totally gone on a wrong path towards the end. Moreover, Rishi drives very slowly and reaches to the end at 3-hours runtime.
This is what happens when the writers or directors copy a successful movie (3 Idiots) and try hard not to be called copycats, they eventually include things that don’t fit in the story they copied.
While the first half is largely decent, the second half works in some places and bores in other places and goes unevenly.
Mahesh Babu is presented as CEO of an American company but his characterization is totally cinematic, nowhere has it mirrored real life with him having battalion of assistants, gangs. The CEO even shouts at his managers as if they were beggars. In the second half, Jagapathi Babu the main villain is too passive.
All in all, “Maharshi” has its moments and is shot in a glossy way, presents some good instants but the journey is riddled with many bumps.

Mirzya Movie Review

Mirzya Movie Review: 
Harshvardhan Kapoor-starrer Mirzya, which will release on Friday, October 7, has received mixed reviews from critics.
Mirzya is based on the epic love story of Mirza and Sahiban, one of the popular Punjabi folktales and marks the Bollywood debut of Harshvardhan Kapoor, son of actor Anil Kapoor and brother of Sonam Kapoor.
It also stars Saiyami Kher, niece of actress Tanvi Azmi opposite Harshvardhan. Harshvardhan has delivered a splendid performance despite being a newcomer and his chemistry with Saiyami has been well-accepted.
Mirzya has some high-octane action sequences, which has been helmed by Australian action director Danny Baldwin.
Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the film has been creating a huge buzz among movie-goers. Also, the gripping trailer and music album of Mirzya have raised the expectations of the audience.
We bring you some critics' views and verdict on the movie. Check them out in Mirzya review round-up from some well known reviewers:
Joginder Tuteja said: "The film has a love story at the core of it all with strong drama and action taking forward the story. However, there is an inherent poetic narrative to the scenes (courtesy Gulzar and Shankar-Ehsan-Loy), something that brings all the difference to Mirzya. Mehra succeeds in ensuring that as young debutants, Harshvardhan and Saiyami shine well and more than just make their presence felt. All said and done, they are here to stay!"
Surabhi Redkar of Koimoi said: "Mirzya is a dramatic, poetic and visually aesthetic yet fails to blow you away. Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Daler Mehendi's music does not always hit the right notes. All in all, Mehra's Mirzya goes overboard with its experimental nature and cannot appeal to all."
Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News said: "While Anil Kapoor's son displays sparks of brilliance and emotes effectively with his eyes, it's Kher, Shabana Azmi and Tanvi Azmi's niece, who shines in the film. Plus, the lead pair aren't very successful at bringing the urgency, turmoil or drama behind forbidden love. Watch Mirzya if you have a penchant for folk tales, poetry and mysticism."
Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times said: "This 135-minute Shakespearean drama is visually impressive, but lacks the essence of a heart wrenching love-story. It's a period drama trying hard to be a musical. And music? Probably the best in last couple of years."
Meena Iyer of the Times of India said: "Harshvardhan and Saiyami come from good acting stock. But they're still rough around the edges. If you are drawn to stories that are high on aesthetics with lyrical narratives, Mirzya is a portrait that deserves a long look."
Bollywood Hungama said: "Harshvardhan Kapoor shows promise as a debutante and is at ease in front of the camera. The film's music (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) seems forced into the film and is not at all impressive. On the whole, MIRZYA boasts of stunning visuals and good performances by the lead cast. However, it is marred by the treatment which is just not commercial in nature."
Rating: 2.5/5.

M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story movie review and story line

M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story' - A Helicopter shot:

Director: Neeraj Pandey
Starring: Sushant Singh Rajput, Anupam Kher, Disha Patni, Kiara Advani
Fans of the game may complain that M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story is not quite about cricket. Neeraj Pandey steers totally clear of the many controversies involving its protagonist M.S. Dhoni and his captaincy—the IPL spot-fixing charges, the alleged rift with Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, he even beeps the names of Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and V.V.S Laxman when Dhoni is shown talking to the selection committee about dropping them (from the 2008 Commonwealth Bank series in Austrailia) because of poor fitness and fielding
              Of course such sanitisation makes the film lose out on interesting layers and complexity, but, curiously, the focused, unwavering eulogising of Dhoni also helps it get an unmistakeable emotional acuity.
Ambition and arrogance get side-stepped for positive qualities like drive, focus and steadfastness and Sushant Singh Rajput catches them wonderfully, every which way—in his gait, demeanour, attitude and gaze. It gets specially pronounced and wonderfully contrasted in a small scene, when you see his measured self against the attitude, or, as they say in Ranchi, “dare” of a brash, young Yuvraj Singh (Herry Tangri, enjoying his cheeky turn).
Strangely, there seem to be no major adversaries in Mahi’s life either, save the circumstances and destiny. Yet there are moments of depression, the frustration in having to keep ducking the bouncers bowled by life while being M. S. Dhoni, the railway ticket collector. He eventually has to leave the stationary platform behind to ride on the train of his dreams. In a nutshell, a life that is anything but extraordinary in its extreme ordinariness.
It’s this unfussy, matter-of-fact portrayal that makes his personal story ring severely true for millions of lives, especially in mofussil India. The dreams and desires trying hard to take wings in the cramped but homely quarter number 142 of Mecon Limited in Ranchi would reverberate with any lower middle class home. Where the father always chides the kids to study lest they turn out like him—low in stature, where mother is always the mediator and children themselves want much more out of life than what they have been granted.
          It’s the genuineness of the characters in the background which adds to Sushant’s performance at the centre—be it Anupam Kher as his reticent father, or Rajesh Sharma as quirky coach Banerjee.
The film has a terrific sense of place—the many stadiums in small towns, the coal mines, the railway stations. Pandey lets in the details unobtrusively, has some fine little heartwarming touches. The romantic interludes, seemingly unnecessary eventually tot up Dhoni’s heroism—stealing a moment away to come to terms with an intensely private grief, stealthily finding time for love in the glare of media and public eye.
The film catches the game at the grassroots—but instead of the usual portrayal of bureaucratic stranglehold what you see is an unquestioning commitment and passion for the game in the many officials. In a way, the film then becomes a piece of nostalgia, harking back to the innocent days of cricket.
It would have been interesting to see Dhoni’s engagement with what it has become over the years—a world of big money and bigger misdemeanours. However, the film lets him remain in an idealistic bubble. Even when he is shown endorsing one product after another (which obviously doubles up as in-film brand promotion) it does so with a sense of indulgence; the whole sequence playing out like a burlesque of sorts.
Pandey could have come all the way up to the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup semi-finals in which we lost but then the film wouldn’t have remained the soaring biopic that it is now. To begin and end with the 2011 finals with the breathtaking top shots of Wankhede, pulsating with the cries of “Indiyaaah Indiyaah”, and Mahi hitting a glorious six to victory—till date the scene seems to have the ability to make even grown up men and women cry. I saw a lot of wet eyes in the theatre. But to Pandey’s credit he also forces a few tears to be dropped for the supporting cast of Dhoni’s life—not just the family and friends but the faceless, selfless supporters who left everything behind to watch him hit the ball—“Mahi maar raha hai”. He seems to have hit yet another six with the film.

Parched Movie Review and Story line:


Cast: Tannishtha Chatterjee, Radhika Apte, Surveen Chawla, Riddhi Sen, Lehar Khan, Sumeet Vyas
Director: Leena Yadav

Review:
I apologise in advance for this bad pun, but I don’t want to say this any other way. Writer-director Leena Yadav’s Parched left me, well, rather parched. While in some respects it quenched my thirst, but — to further stretch the sexual hint in the film’s title — mostly it left me high and dry. Parched has a lot going for it and there’s no denying the delicious ambition of Ms Yadav. She’s roped in some of the best talent from Hollywood. Parched is shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter (he shot Titanic, Ant-Man, True Lies), edited by Kevin Tent (Nebraska, The Descendants, Sideways), its sound design is by Paul N.J. Ottoson (Zero Dark Thirty, Fury, Men in Black, Spiderman 2), and its music editor is Richard Ford (The Imitation Game). And if that wasn’t formidable enough, from Bollywood too she picked some of the best.
Music producer is Hitesh Sonik (Maqbool, Omkara),
lyrics are by Swanand Kirkire, and casting is by Mukesh Chhabra (Wasseypur, Haider, Masaan, Aligarh…)

Between Chhabra and Yadav, they’ve put together a team of exciting actors and superlative technical men and women. And the film is technically very fine. It looks great, sounds cool. It’s visually both powerful and seductive. Yet it left me irritated and disappointed because Parched’s India is too stylised. Yadav and Carpenter have set a real, harsh, very Indian story in an exotic India that panders to the West. Theirs is an India where everything is mystical, erotic, spiritual, especially Indian women and their suffering. Worse, a very Western, a very silly resolution is plonked on them. Parched, as I said, is set in a very pretty, and pretty mythical village which has a sort of an entertainment outpost. A tented, make-shift annexe where the village’s men folk go for some nightly entertainment by Bijli (Surveen Chawla). And it tells the story of two women who crave love, and another who craves control over men.
Plot:
In the village live Rani (Tannishtha Chatterjee), Lajjo (Radhika Apte) and little Janaki (Lehar Khan), the child bride with luscious hair, pink lips and big eyes who’s bought for Rs 3 lakh. Rani and Lajjo are proud women who are economically fairly independent, but their fates are locked by their circumstances — one is a widow, the other a banjh. Bijli, at the outpost, is seemingly free. She sits, for a while at least, at the top of the food chain. Her body, her sex appeal, her performances on stage and bed bring in the money that keeps several men in business. Parched pulls us into intimacy with these lovely women. Their relationships with men are all transactional, and we see how they are treated as private properties. We also sit next to them in their moments of solitude, crying out their fury and frustration, wondering if there’s more to life than this.

There isn’t a redeeming moment when they are around men and the film is unflinching in showing us domestic brutality, repeatedly. Their brief moments of escape are with other women. The men, even the ones who hold promise, always fall short. The problem is that almost every real, hard scene ends on a slightly unreal note. But the film keeps taking flights of fancy to the annoying and exotic, making all that we’ve just witnessed and experienced farcical. Its climax is so Eat Pray Love — so pulpy and banal — that it made me ill. Parched feels like it’s unsettled, struggling between wanting to tell a real story, but also keen on concocting a fairytale happy-ending. So while on one hand it shows battered women continuously sewing Rajasthani mirror-work stuff, the big cathartic moment it finds for them is creating new abuses for men and screaming them out in a deserted ruin. Too silly and infantile for a movie that wants to be taken seriously.

But, I loved some bits in the film, the ones that have sex, obviously. There’s the scene where Bijli bites off more than she can chew while trying to compete with the new girl, not realising that sexual tastes and preferences have hardened, that love-making is now a pornographic performance. And then the much-talked about and leaked love-making scene between Radhika Apte and Adil Hussain. Despite the fact that this scene is choreographed like a solemn ritual in a luxurious gufa with Mr Hussain playing the mythical Indian sex machine with hair that we only see at the Maha Kumbh, yet, I was absolutely delighted to see a sex scene that’s gentle, sexy and where the woman has, from the looks of it, a memorable orgasm. High-five to Leena Yadav.

I’ve always been captivated by Radhika Apte. She’s gorgeous, expressive and oomphy. And I’ve always found Tannishtha Chatterjee overrated. And yet, here, in Parched, there was too much acting in both Radhika and Surveen’s performances, while Tannishtha is natural, comfortable in her role, in her look, and light-footed. Apte, with her big grins and coyness, was trying too hard to be cute and sexy, and Chawla, continuously speaking in sharp, loud one-liners, got tiresome after a while. Lehar Khan, who’s grown up since she received the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2013 for Best Child Artist for her role in Jalpari, is better than both Apte and Chawla.

Banjo Movie Story and Review

BANJO Movie story and Review:
CAST: Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, Dharmesh
DIRECTION: Ravi Jadhav

STORY : The quintessential Mumbaiyya music of a few Banjo players, led by Taraat (Riteish Deshmukh) catches the fancy of a budding American singer Chris (Nargis Fakhri). She travels to Mumbai all the way from New York to hunt for Taraat and his quirky coterie, hoping to take their music international. But given their social and financial background, can the men live up to Chris' expectations?

REVIEW : Director Ravi Jadhav, who has some outstanding Marathi films to his name (like Natarang), captures the pulse of Mumbai and the city's buzzing chawl culture in Banjo with simplicity and a dash of humour. His characters exude the quintessential middle-class values, which are bound to resonate with many. The underprivileged are not conditioned to dream big, so even their wishes are realistic. One of the characters innocently asks a waiter at a posh club, if he could take some champagne home for his father. Though commercial in approach, Jadhav keeps things unpretentious and thus relatable.
While the story is pretty formulaic (a bunch of street musicians making it big by winning against all odds), the execution and supporting performances are heartfelt. The music could have been better though. Addition of unnecessary drama and random events in the second half slows down the pace considerably, also making the film a tad cliched. The gorgeous Nargis overdoes the American accent but grows on you eventually.

And last but not the least, it's time we play the dhol, tasha, tutari, lejhim and banjo for apla Riteish. Sporting a stylish man bun, it's refreshing to see him break away from the usual multistarrers and play a slice-of-life, lead character in a Hindi film. A small-time extortionist cum musician, Taraat is all heart. Riteish essays this brash yet vulnerable character effortlessly, proving that he can hold a film on his own if given the right opportunity. The film's cinematography is splendid as well.

If you are familiar with Mumbai's working-class neighbourhoods, where the hearts of the poor are bigger than the pay packages of those residing in the mushrooming high-rises, you'll be able to notice the beauty of Banjo. It also makes you respect the street musicians a little more.

RaaZ Reboot Movie Review and Story Line:

RaaZ Reboot Movie Review and storyline:
This time the sequence of Raaz went down in all aspects.
Rating: 1.5/5.
Story Line:
You think only human beings face morality crisis? Well, ghosts too have emotions and respect the unsaid social mores. At least, the non-judgmental one in director Vikram Bhatt’s Raaz Reboot does. He doesn’t kiss women with a ‘mangalsutra’ (The necklace married Hindu women wear). But he does hope that she takes it off herself. Of course, there is no stopping him after that.
              The story unfolds in Dracula’s own country, Romania. But it is no big deal as our protagonists, Rehaan (Gaurav Arora) and Shaina (Kirti Kharbanda) know that the Count’s castle is miles away from their house. Also, they have been there in the past and their love had blossomed in Romania. But it is different this time.
              The married couple is going through a tough time. Their relationship is strained and what could be a better timing than this for Aditya’s (Emraan Hashmi) entry. After all, he has made a career out of luring committed women into his love trap. Remember Murder, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Gangster and many other films.
So, the game is poised now. You will witness a first of its kind spirit this time. Did I say that Raaz Reboot is a ghost story from the beginning? No? Ok, Shaina gets possessed ten minutes down the film.
               The local priest can’t do much about it. The ghost knows the priest’s past. It literally blackmails the cleric to leave the scene with a torrent of reminders about his tainted past with kids. You know what I mean.
            We need our own guy in command of the situation now. So, a blind Indian student studying Psychometry in Romania enters the game. That’s an actual term which means object reading. Indians are anyway possessive about their belongings.

The drama escalates and the ghost says, f*** y**. Yes, this spirit swears. Modernity or bad manners, you can take your pick.
                Meanwhile, you will keep spotting Hotel Transylvania, a Gypsy woman and other clichés, so that you don’t feel out of sync. Don’t forget it’s a Vikram Bhatt film.
The cleric’s failed exorcism bid means God’s reputation is at stake and that calls for some extreme measures. The rest is a permutation and combination of words - ‘spirit’, ‘possessed’, ‘danger’, ‘haunted’ and ‘Jesus’.
Soulful music will soothe your ears, and Emraan Hashmi is also there. Some initial scenes of arguments between Rehaan and Shaina are well written, but that’s about it.
Raaz Reboot is a tough watch for close to 140 minutes. Great songs, but not enough to pull it out of the spirit’s grip.

Baar Baar Dekho Movie Review

Baar Baar Dekho movie review: Watching this Katrina Kaif, Sidharth Malhotra film once is more than enough

Baar Baar Dekho movie review: Katrina Kaif, Sidharth Malhotra film has all the gloss but no beating heart. Baar baar dekho for this romance? Ha, just wishful thinking.


Baar Baar Dekho movie review: Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif’s film lacks the sense of wonder which makes films special.

Baar Baar Dekho movie director: Nitya Mehra
If you had a chance to go back into the past and ‘fix’ it, what would you do? Turn joyous cartwheels of course, because hindsight gives us wisdom that we didn’t have when we were in the moment.
Maths genius Jay Varma (Sidharth Malhotra) has the gift of time travel, that miraculous thing which he can use to make things right between him and lady love Diya Kapoor (Katrina Kaif). What can go wrong with that most intriguing premise, even if we’ve seen similar stuff in About Time and The Time Traveller’s Wife?
Quite a lot, actually, as it turns out: Baar Baar Dekho doesn’t have anything that can entice us into repeat viewings, let alone a single one, because the execution is flat and banal.
The life lessons that Baar Baar Dekho holds out is a) there’s more to life than differential equations (we know), b) the past and the future can only be accessed through the present (we know ) and c) that Katrina Kaif may have the most amazingly mobile waist in the universe but her emoting ambitions are strictly futuristic (this we get to know all over again, sigh).
The appeal of a winsome romance is the thing between two lovers: the more it pulses, the more effective it is. On that most crucial score, Jay and Diya don’t make our hearts beat: they cosy up but there is nothing going on between the two.They traverse continents and time zones and eras, zigging into the past and zagging into a future which has remote-controlled transport and plangent screens controlled by hand gestures, but there’s no sense of wonder in these scenes. The lovers don’t make us dewy-eyed either even if the film they are in is glossy and bursting with good looking people and places. You end up admiring the scenery and feeling very little.
The chemistry between Sid and Kat is stupendous, and certainly, after this film, we want to 'Baar Baar Dekho' them together again. They do exude a certain kind of freshness which can be tapped more on the reel.
How Jai's character grows and what happens to his relationship with Diya—their journey, hardships and struggle in keeping up with the tale or rather twist in time is what 'Baar Baar Dekho' has to offer.
It has a subtle yet very important message underlying which we all must understand and try to live every moment with the person we love the most! And yes, for once I am happily saying 'chill, if you can't hold that mathematical equation for once', as there's more to life than one plus one two!

Janatha Garage story plot and Review

Janatha Garage story and Review
Story:
Janatha Garage story has in deep character in it. It has an core message; an intense drama mixed it in unique style.

Flashback:
Back to1980s, Satyam Garu ( Mohanlal) runs a mechanic shop named ‘Janatha Garage’ which also functions as a Praja Darbaar in Hyderabad. Eventually, it becomes thorn in the flesh of crooked politicians and they kill the brother of Satyam. Satyam sends off his brother’s little kid to Mumbai to be with his relatives.

Present day:
The kid grows up as Anand (Tarak) who is an environmental science student. Anand is very passionated about nature and teaches people around him to protect the Mother earth Nature. Knowing that Anand has gained rivalry with a local MLA in Mumbai , his relatives  sends him to Hyderabad for temporary visit, fearing attack from the MLA.
On other hand at Hyderabad, Janatha Garage activities slow down due to attack on Satyam (Mohanlal). Due to an incident, Anand meets Satyam and after realizing Anand’s conviction and potentiality Satyam invites him to join Janatha Garage. Anand joins hands with Satyam and rest of the story is how both of them together help the needy people in the society.

Analysis:
Janatha Garage is an author-backed story that has been told with conviction. In Telugu, rarely we see movies in which strong characterizations overpower the stardom and Janatha Garage is one such movie. This movie becomes more intense when such characterizations are backed by top actors such as Mohanlal and NTR. These two blessed artists, with their screen presence and acting prowess, will be appreciated by one and all in this movie. Koratala siva’s directorial skill and dialogues competed with each other for major part of the movie. Government office scene with Rajeev Kanakala is a testament to this. Both dialogues and execution are top-notch in this scene. Unni Mukundan, Saikumar did justice to their roles. Nitya Menen and Samantha got very short roles as most of the drama and screen time has been shared between NTR and Mohanlal. However, the narration is slower throughout and few scenes are hackneyed. First half is just OK as the director tried to set the ground for emotional second half. In second half, from start until the item song … the heroism elevation, Rajiv Kanakala episode, Jayaho Janatha Song followed by Pakka Local item song and all worked out well. Staring with the ‘City bomb blasts’ episode, the director lost grip on the narration and from there the movie goes down hill. The last 30 minutes of the movie is a huge let down. With very routine and abrupt climax, movie comes to an end. Audience expecting a gripping emotional movie with ensemble cast will feel disappointed coming out of the theater. When it comes to NTR Jr., What a transformation !? from a mass hero to all class appealing roles, the way he molded himself is commendable.

Songs: Highlight Song of the movie is Kajal’s ‘Pakka Local’. It was choreographed well, both NTR and Kajal danced superbly for this song. ‘Pranamam Pranamam’ and ‘Rock on Bro..’ songs do appeal to class audience. Art work in ‘Apple Beauty’ song is super classy and this stylish number appeals to youth.
Montage song ‘Jayaho Janatha.’ was placed at right time, elevates the emotion.
Plus:
Intense characterization of Mohanlal as Satyam Equally brilliant portrayal of Anand character by NTR Koratala Siva’s thoughtful dialogues.
Excellent background music by DSP Cinematography by Thirunavukarasu is top-notch.
Superb star casting – Even for insignificant roles, experienced and best in class artists been roped in All Songs. Message oriented movie, which highlights importance of Environmental friendlyness

Minus:
Last 25 minutes of the movie is dull Narration is slow paced at times
Less comedy scenes
Mohanlal’s son character is not well established.
No proper role for heroines
OverAll Outline :
Janatha Garage first half is decent and second half is better except the climax. One must appreciate the Star heroes NTR , Mohanlal and the director for believing in the subject and sticking to the core point of the movie.
For NTR fans, there are ample heroism elevation elements for their delight. Overall, Koratala Siva has missed a blockbuster with a weak climax.
You may watch it once with ease.
Rating : 3/5

Shah rukh cant stop revealing the spots of next with Imtiaz Ali

Shah Rukh Khan next movie spot with Imtiaz Ali

Shah Rukh Khan is currently shooting for his next film- The Ring in Prague.

Shah Rukh Khan reveals another picture from the spots of The Ring on his Instagram. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the movie co-stars Anushka Sharma.
And looks like Shah Rukh can't stop sharing updates right from the location. He has shared yet another picture with Imtiaz Ali on Instagram. Both shahrukh and Imtiaz are standing before a statue. Shah Rukh captioned the picture, “‘I am a cage, in search of a bird.’ Kafka in Prague. In our case we r only trying to discover characters in our film.”
SRK has earlier this week posted the first look of the film and we couldn’t handle our excitement. In the previous picture the actor is walking on a parapet, waving a red flag and trying to get the attention of someone. The film’s shooting schedule is in full swing in Prague and Shah Rukh is going to be there for a long shot. He wrote with his characteristic wit, “Imtiaz said I could post this picture from the sets… & promised there will be some close ups of me in the film too!”
