ANALYSIS:
EE story andariki telisinade.Telisina danni televiga ,Tanaku matrame sadhyamaina makingto,ollu daggara pettukuni  teesadu Ram gopal varma.Rendu families(ravi&suri) family nunchi elanti vivadalu rakunda soori character ni lekunda chesadu.Pratap ravi character ni herola choopinchadu.ee cinema anta kevalam parital ravi, sane chenna  redddy,obul reddy meede focus chesadu. 
Ika cinema paramga chuste idi oka chinna revenge formula.EE cinema loni characters ki real characters ni manam imagine cheskunnappude ee cinema manaki  banevuntundi.Real story  teliyani vallaki ee cinema oka auto biography laga vuntundi.Screenplay is so normal .Taking is good but not excellent.Ee cinemaki pedda minus rgv voice over.chala chettga Asalu visugu teppinchela cheppadu.Gambhiramga cheppalsina chota chappaga telchadu. Ee cinemaki major drawback telugu actors tappa evaru telugulo dialogues cheppaledu.Lip sink vundadu.Deenito oka dubbing cinema chusina feeling kalugutundi.Ee cinema characters perlu kooda vichimtraga petttadu.(pedda sir(Y.S.R),bukka reddy(obul reddy )).
       Coming to the cast Vivek oberoi excelled in ravi's character.tana dialogues telugulone cheppadu(it is laudable).The major show stealer was Abhimanyusingh who played the role of Bukka Reddy.His body language as a cruel &wicked fellow is marvellous.Shatrugn sinha enacted the role of NTR.He made the audience to compare with the Ntr with his antics and brother dialogue.Tanikella bharani,kota,subhaleka sudhakar ,Zareena wahab were adequate.Radhika apte was apt.
     Coming to technical aspects photography is good and doesnt spoil the mood.Editing could have been better.Music by Dharam -sandeep is not upto the mark except for the title song.That song has such an impact that pulls the audience from getting bored.production values were ok.
MY RATING:3/5(Average can be watched once)
FINAL VERDICT:
On the whole ,Rakta charitra lives with the expectations  &the hype created.It doesn't disappoint         
the telugu audience.On the flip side the narration could have been  more intense and the audience might feel bored at most places but as long as you connect with the characters and imagine with the real characters it makes an decent watch for you.its an average fare.
TAIL PIECE:
Ee cinemani trilungual ga teesadu.Three languages tho connect avvadaniki TELUGU KADHANI,HINDI VIVEKNI,TAMILSURIYA NI mix chesadu.Asalu kadha anta part 2 lone vundi.Dont miss PART2

SCREENPLAY:
Cinema missamma loni "BRINDAVANAMADI ANDARIDI" aana song  colour visuals to start avutundi. Ee vishayamlo vamsy krishnavamsy nunchi inspire ayyadu anukovachu.(krishnavamsi "murari"lo kuda hey krishana anna  panduranga mahatyam loni song to titles padatayi).NTR introduction is also good.
      Kani   akkadnunchi Cinema narration anta average ga vuntundi.ntr introduction scene tarvata nunchii cinema antaa oke tempo lo average ga sagutundi.Screenplay gripping ga vundadu.Akkadakkda konni twists vunna kooda avi audience munde voohinchochu.Cinemaki major drawback entante the predictable story line.Story line is thin and screenplay is also not fastpaced.kani danni audience ki ekkada bore kottakunda ntr action and dialogues to copeup chesadu.Cinemalo comedy paravaledu but  routine..its not the dialogues but the antics made by venumadhav provide some laughs.Ilanti story handle chesettappudu screenplay &comedy inkabavunte bavundedi.
        coming to the cast,NTR is as usaual superb.Naaku ntr ee cinemalo kottaga kanapadaledu kani  romantic angle lo kottaga chupinchadu vamsy.The base in his voice is excellent.His dances are too good.Anni emotions ni chala superbga chesadu.kani naaku ee cinemalo kante yamadonga lone andanga kanapaddadu.Samantha is godgeousShe dominated kajal in all aspects glamour,performance even though she had  a less screen presence than kajal.The major show stealer besides NTR is praksah raj,He is amazing&simply superb.he carried all emotions very well and u can say Ntr and prakashraj are equal.Ahuti prasad &raghubabu are good as lazy fellows and ahutiprasad has a very dialogue with prakash raj in the pre -interval scene.
               Srihari is taken just for his name and his role is confined.Ajay is good.Kota is good and it is always nice to see prakshraj &kota in the same frame.Tanikella bharani ,brahmaji and the lady gang are adequate.Venumadhav is good & brings some laughs.Brahmi as bommarillu father brings some laughs even though his characterization is routine(overaction chesi tannulu tinadam).
                  Music by thaman is good to hear when it comes to screen.The major show  stealer is cinematography by Chota.k.Naidu.His visuals are outstanding.He made every frame like a painting.Editing is neat.Dialogues by koratala shiva is good at parts.CITY NUNCHI VAChADU,LOVERBOYLA KANIPISTUNNADU ANUKUNNAVEMO LOPALA  ORIGINAL ALAGE VUNDI DANNI BYTAKI LAGITE RACHA RACHE  AND DOORANNI VYRAM CHESADU are worth mentioning.
MY RATING:3/5
FINAL VERDICT:
on the whole Brindavanam is an average fare with routine tale told differently with rich presentation.First half is good establishing the story.But once the story is revealed the remaining is predictable.The overall  screenplay is not gripping but it doesn't let you bored with NTR performance &routine comedy .This might connect to the festival audience & fans
TAIL PIECE:

ROBO Movie Review

150(+)  crores budget-The biggest ASIAN film ever made,2250 screens worldwide-The highest no.of screens for any Indian film,the first indian film who made graphics at Stan winston studios(who previously worked for Avatar,Terminator,Jurassic park),Academy award winners a.r.rehman &rasool pookotty ,stunts by Yuen Woo Ping (Matrix fame),Miss world Aishwarya rai bachan Showman of the South Shankar and Superstar Rajnikanth  crazy combination,much hyped technical combo- "ROBOT". An experience of 2 reviews cant describe this techinical extravaganga  more than this. lets see how the film is...

FILM        :ROBOT
BANNER   :Sun pictures
CAST       :Rajnikanth,Aishwarya rai bachan,
                  Danny Denzogpa,......               MUSIC     :A.R.Rahman
EDITING  :Antony
ANIMATRONICS : STAN WINSTON STUDIOS   
DOP         Ratnavelu
STUNTS    :Peter Heins & Yuen Woo Ping
ART         :Sabucyril
DIALOGUES :SriRamakrishna
SOUND DESIGNING :Rasool Pokotty
PRODUCER:Kalanithi Maran
STORY,SCREENPLAY,DIRECTION: SHANKAR
STORY:
Dr. Vasi is a scientist and he invents a robo who looks just like him. He names it as Chitti. Dr. Bora (Danny) is one of the key persons in robotics field in India and he disapproves Chitti since it could endanger the human lives. Dr. Vasi’s girlfriend is Sana (Aishwarya Rai). She treats Vasi kindly. In order to make Chitti compliant to the norms set by Bhora, Dr. Vasi infuses feelings and emotions into Chitti. Chitti starts feeling like a human and he instantly falls in love with his creator’s girlfriend.the rest of the story shows the war between dr.vasi&his creation chitti.
ANALYSIS
The major important thing that a director should have is "Visualizing his creations in his mind".I think it perfectly matches to director  SHANKAR.The real hero for this film is Shankar.He thinks BIG & executes perfectly.He  exactly knows what he want.The Robo establishes the fact once again.He is a perfectionist who has command on all fields.He utilizes the technology very well.He has never faced a failure till now.He has an outstanding imaginative & creative power and grip on technology.HIs film's budget are  high and collections too.
    Coming to the story,Robo  is not a  typical rajnikanth masala film.It is a science fiction film.The introduction scene of rajnikanth shows this fact. He was introduced without hype.Shankar  went to the script straight away  and established the relation b/w rajni & aish  cleverly without showing how they fell in love.After making the robot ,the things done by chitti brings some laughs.But the narration in the first half is average and u wouldn't feel vow.
       The second half picks up momentum and the last 25 minutes of the film is spell bounding.The graphics are simply 
superb.The climax scene in which the chitti dematerializes himself by giving message to the humans is  heart touching.On the whole the robot doesn't give what you expect but surely it wont disappoint you.
       On the flip side,it wont connect to the hard core masses as it is basically a sci-fi film.It needs  knowledge to understand a film like this.To cover this,shankar cleverly coated the commercial elements for masses and graphics to kids.
       Coming to the cast Shankar first went to Sharukh and then to rajni.Shankar chose rajni for his selfish purpose because the market that rajni has.The script like this need a charismatic actor with huge market not the acting capabilites.But rajnikanth has given a wonderful performance as robot and he did a lot of homework for that.Definetely he deserves an applause for his hardwork in this age.
      Aishwarya is not only an actor but an excellent dancer.The grace in her dance is outstanding.she did her justice to the role.Danny denzogpa is excellent .The voice dubbed to him is very good.Music by a.r.rahman is nice and it is picturized well .Two of them were canned at peru,machu pichu.Art work done by sabu cyril needs a special mention here.He is simply amazing.It needs a lot of creativity and homework.Excellent sound affects were given by rasool pokotty.Cinematography by ratna velu is excellent.Stunts are good.Dialogues are filled with humour and message oriented. kalanithi maran who produced this deserves a standing ovation for producing a film like this.He put confidence on shankar and gave what he want.kudos to him.
FINAL VERDICT:
      "ROBOT" is not a spell bounding and Magnum Opus movie when it is compared to its budget.  But it is a GOOD MOVIE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH.It shows the stamina of Indian cinema especially the south indian cinema to the world.SHANKAR opened a different gate in the history of indian cinema.IT IS GOING TO BREAK ALL BOX OFFICE RECORDS OF INDIAN CINEMA.GO FOR IT AND WATCH IT IN YOUR NEAREST CINEMAS.


MY RATING:3.25/5


TAIL PIECE:
 I opted for web technologies in my 3-2 elective.But on seeing this film i changed my opinion to artificial intelligence.
