'Naan Mahan Alla' would have been a four starrer movie, had the 2nd half been taken care of. Karthi and Kajal Agarwal display great onscreen chemistry and look great together, though Kajal has nothing to do in the second half.
All characters fit the bill very aptly. The first half is amazing, while the second half is a dud given its off-the hook pace. At the end, one is left wondering if it was supposed to be the climax. Justified climax but handled in a very lean way. While songs are fine, this movie will go good with the college crowd.
In all its fun and watchable !

Lafange Parindhe **
Pradeep Sarkar takes us back to the movies of the 90's with 'Lafange Parindhe'. Neil Nitin Mukesh tries something different, but looks artificial in the role. Deepika has performed very well and looks stunningly beautiful. Kay Kay menon has been wasted in the short role. The songs are good and the story line has been taken care of in a better way.
This movie is timepass material and reminds of Southie hits Nuvvu Vastavani/Thulatha manamum Thullum for the theme, though it has been adapted to bollywood concepts. A hit if released in the mid 90's, but for now, can be missed, except if you are a die-hard deepika fan.

Peepli [Live] ***1/2
In a world where each 'Byte' from the lives of millions around is exploited for gains of any measure, with the news being used and skipped away without action, this Bollywood movie weaves magic with a fantastic script that mixes reality with sarcasm to bring out the 'Ugly Truth' in the society.
There are great performances from all the actors in this intelligent movie portraying ground realities in the country's politics, media and the common man's grass root problems. Humongous research, tight editing and the rustic portrayal of rural India add to making this movie a masterpiece.
Aamir once again proves why he is simply the smartest bollywood personality of the times by opting to produce a gem called 'Peepli Live'. Though the movie might not go well with all kinds of audiences, Anusha Rizvi's first directorial 'must-watch' venture will be remembered for many years to come for the experimental blend of documentary meets reel fiction !

Yem Pillo Yem Pillado *
Eetharam films sticks to its reputation, while the story is the same old repetitive one. Tanish churns out an impressive performance and has a long way to go, while Pranitha is fine. The tile track is nice.
The film reminds of nuvve kavali, anandam kind of fun mixed with routine family/village sentiments . Worth a miss.

Don Seenu **
Nothing much to offer in terms of the story, but Raviteja caters to the mass audience while Shriya looks amazingly stunning. Anjana and other actors fit aptly. Scenes between Brahmanandam and Raviteja are very hilarious. The film is a family entertainer which does not demand the moviegoer to use their brain.
A commercial movie with all the mass masala elements in the right proportions - Paisa vasool !

Aisha **
A Hollywood style meets Bollywood kind of movie with great performance from Sonam Kapoor. This lady looks stunning in the movie and Rhea has done a great movie for her sister. Aisha is a film with great fashion quotient and could have been much better.
While Abhay Deol is perfect for the role, others are fine too. The movie drags a bit towards the end to meet the Bollywood standard 'drama' but will go fine with the multiplex crowds who are looking for some timepass over the weekend.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai ***
A movie on gangsters has always fascinated bollywood audience and 'Once upon a time in Mumbai' is yet another one based on this genre. A winner at the box office, for sure it is !!
Fantabulous dialogs, good background score and a strong screenplay hold the movie high. Ajay Devgn seems to have become the official flagbearer of Bollywood 'Don'-ism now. A good change for Emran Hashmi from his repetitive lover boy roles. Kangana and Prachi have nothing to do, but have added value with their 'beauty' in the 70's retro looks. Randeep hooda fits the bill. This is not a 'Company' kind movie and is special in its own way of portraying the human characters and the brain game for power. Many an audience would surely wish the climax was better though.
Balaji Telefilms has brought the bollywood style movies of the 70's alive for us this time. A must watch !
