Anaganaga O Dheerudu ***

Anaganaga o Dheerudu - Disney's touch was very much evident, though the director Prakash has put in everything to make sure the movie is 'new' in every aspect. Great direction, screenplay could have been tighter. Siddharth was gud but disappoints at places with dialog delivery/hair-do. Shruti was gracefully gorgeous and lightens up the screen. Lakshmi manchu as the villain leaves her mark. The 'best' of the lot was the child artiste who played 'moksha' - a great discovery she was.

Amazing visual effects and the journey to a different world makes this movie a worth watch. BE mentally prepared - You are going to watch a 'fantasy' movie - something like those stories one used to hear in their childhood !!

Mirapakaya **1/2

What do you expect ?? yes, it is an out and out masala movie with a hit formula behind it. Though the movie offers nothing new, Raviteja makes the journey enjoyable. Richa looks ravishing, while Deeksha has less to do.
Just timepass - but total paisa vasool !

Parama Veera Chakra*1/2

Well, this movie seems a tale stitched from bits and pieces. Dasari garu disappoints. Well, because, Balakrishna does what is expected out of him and there are no 'extra' effects that were once a joke around. Balayya's komaram bheem character needs special mention. This character was just few scenes, but wonderfully done. Amisha doesnt even try to act, while Sheela tries to grab attention with skin show. Of the heroines, Neha dupia atleast had some important role to play.

One thing I APPRECIATE - yes i said 'Appreciate' - is for a movie done in 70days flat, the director has put in lot of strategy in choosing experienced character artistes, and I dint expect any miracles out of this.

For the audience, the movie never seems to have started.  Its as if few scenes have been canned and put together to make it a 'Release'. Well, may be fans would watch it once, max twice - Coz Balayya doesn't let you down in this post-Simha movie either.

No One Killed Jessica ***

This one is a worth watch. Amazing background score lifts the movie to a new level, while the movie is slickly edited and the story line is in focus. The movie has got very good performers with each one given an apt role. If Vidya and Rani wow you with their hitting performance, the New girl Myrah has good screen presence and literally flirts with the camera.

Well, NOKJ is surely going to be a hit with the multiplex audience and those abroad. Might not be able to woo the B and C grade center crowd. Yet, Watch it - Change has to start somewhere !!

Tees Maar Khan *

A mindless comedy - what else do you expect from Farah Khan? Well, Katrina is a show stealer but has nothing to do. Akshay does his part the best and with ease, but the story line is a dud. Yet, the movie is a typical masala movie which does not bore you. Worth a watch just incase you are frustrated with nothing else to do.
