Review : Rebel – Mass offering for Prabhas fans
Release date: 28 September 2012 |
cinefly.blogspot.com Rating : 2.75 |
Director : Raghava Lawrence |
Producer : J. Bhaghawan, J. Pulla Rao |
Music Director : Raghava Lawrence |
Starring : Prabhas, Tamanna, Deeksha Seth, Krishnam Raju |
Young Rebel Star Prabhas has hit the screens today with the mass offering ‘Rebel’ after a long time and the movie is releasing in a big way across the world. Tamanna is the heroine in this movie along with Deeksha Seth. Lawrence has directed this film and the project has been produced by J. Bhagawan and Pulla Rao. I caught the 3am special show in Sri Ramulu theater. Let us see how the movie is.
Story :
Rishi (Prabhas) is a young lad who comes to Hyderabad in search of Stephen and Roberts. He takes the help of Narasaraju (Brahmanandam) to track them down. During this process, he realises that the answers to his quest will be found with Nandini (Tamanna), a hip hop dance teacher in Bangkok. Rishi heads to Bangkok along with Narasaraju in a bid to woo Nandini and succeeds in getting her to fall for him. He manages to coax the necessary information out of her.
But once Nandini is deeply in love with him, she realises that there is another motive to Rishi’s show of affection. It is then revealed that Rishi has a tragic past. His father , ‘Rebel’ Bhupathi (Krishnam Raju), is a powerful Don. But Bhupathi is cheated by his own brother Mukesh Rushi and Simhadri (Pradeep Rawat). He has a girlfriend Deepali (Deeksha Seth) during this episode.
With the help of his father’s trusted lieutenant Raju (Supreeth), Rishi turns into a violent gangster in search of revenge. What happens to Bhupathi and Deepali? Why are Stephen and Roberts involved with Simhadri? Will Rishi succeed? That forms the story.
Plus Points :
Prabhas looks very macho and quite handsome throughout the movie. He has shown quite a number of variations in this movie – a timid son, a soft lover and a violent gangster. He has done a good job and fans will love him in the film. Rebel Star Krishnam Raju has played a crucial role in the film and he is good as the powerful Don Bhupathi.
Tamanna is ultra glamorous in this movie and she has once again showcased her terrific dancing skills. Her dance in the song ‘Google Search’ is a major treat for movie lovers. Deeksha Seth has a very minor role in the movie. But she has done justice to her part. Songs have been shot well and Lawrence has showcased Prabhas and Tamanna very beautifully.
Pradeep Rawat and Mukesh Rushi are alright. Brahmanandam has one or two good moments, but disappoints (more on that later).
The film picks up tremendous pace about 15 minutes before the interval and Prabhas’s heroism is at peak levels here. This is without a doubt a highlight part of the film. There are a few good fights in the second half that will appeal to mass movie lovers.
Minus Points :
Director Lawrence should have taken better care with screenplay and script. He has carried over many points from his earlier films like Don, Mass and Kanchana. Stylish villains carrying western names, Russian female fighters attacking the hero in climax fight, a shrieking heroine challenging the villain about her lover’s ‘magathanam’ etc…And the fight where villains come cross dressed as ladies in Sarees (ala Kanchana). We have all seen these before.
Kovai Sarala in a swimsuit is not something I will forget in a while. Her track with Brahmanandam is bad and poorly written. Ali is wasted in a bad role. Brahmanandam was not utilized well. He had a few good moments with Prabhas, but once Kovai Sarala comes in, his track becomes irritating.
The emotional intensity and pace shown in the pre-interval episode could not be replicated anywhere else in the film. Some scenes should have been chopped off, especially in the second half. At 2 hrs 50 minutes plus, the movie is a tad too long.
Climax fight fizzles out and does not make an impact. There are quite a number of bloopersand loopholes, like a car carrying Andhra Pradesh registration plates in Bangkok.
VFX work is shoddy.
Technical Aspects :
Cinematography is decent. Songs have been shot with vivid colours but visuals appeared a little blurred in some fight sequences. It could be an issue with the theater’s projector though. Editing could have been better, especially in the second half. Dialogues are ok. Production values are rich.
Dances have been composed well. Fights are good, except for the last fight. Lawrence could have done better in the direction and screenplay departments. Music is average and re-recording is just about ok.
Verdict :
Rebel is a mass offering that will appeal to hardcore Prabhas fans. Prabhas has tried to cater to frontbenchers and mass crowds this time, after winning over A center crowds with Darling and Mr. Perfect. Tamanna enthralls with some superb dances and high glamour quotient. There are some good moments in the film, like the pre-interval block. But Lawrence could not sustain the momentum properly and there are way too many references from his previous projects. An excessively long second half will also work against the movie. Forregular commercial cinema lovers, Rebel will be an ok watch.

Review : Shirdi Sai – A treat for Sai Devotees
Release date: 06
September 2012
Cinefly.blogspot.in
Rating : 3.5/5
Director : K.
Raghavendra Rao
Producer : Mahesh
Reddy, Girish Reddy
Music Director :
Keeravani
Starring :
Nagarjuna, Srikanth, Srihari
Akkineni Nagarjuna has had two successful outings with
devotional flicks in the form of ‘Annamayya’ and ‘Sri Ramadasu’. He has now
come up with ‘Shirdi Sai’ and the movie has released today across the world.
The film has been directed by K.Raghavendra Rao and music has been composed by
M.M.Keeravani. Let us see how the movie is.
Story :
As the name implies, Shirdi Sai is the life story of Sai
Baba. The movie starts off in 1854 by showing a young Sai Baba, who is seen by
the people of Shirdi in a meditative pose under a neem tree. After giving a few
glimpses of His holy nature, Sai leaves for the Himalayas to seek wisdom and
attain enlightenment.
After he finds His answers, Sai comes back to the town of
Shirdi and sets about solving the problems of people. He becomes their
emotional and spiritual Guru. He heals the sick and takes care of the hungry.
Doubters and skeptics like Bhatia, the Englishman Wales and
a few other people become devotees after witnessing Baba’s miracles and His
good nature. The story ends when Sai decides to leave this earthly abode.
Plus Points :
Nagarjuna is simply magnificent as Sai Baba. He looks so
serene and peaceful and he is perfect for the role. His performance in the last
20 minutes of the film will leave a strong impact on you. Perhaps no other
actor of this generation could have done a better job as Sai.
Vinaya Prasad is very good as Baayija Bai and she emotes
well in key scenes. Srikanth and Sai Kumar shine in key roles and they have
done a good job. Sharath Babu and Shayaji Shinde were good. Rujutha Deshmukh
was excellent as Lakshmi Bai. Brahmanandam was ok.
The climax is terrific and will leave viewers with tears in
their eyes. Raghavendra Rao has shown great skill in screenplay here and this
will surely be the highlight of the movie.
The first half of the movie is very good, especially in the
scenes leading upto the interval. The movie has many emotional high points and
devotees will connect very well with the scenes. Keeravani’s re-recording and
background score are major assets for the film.
A nice balance between spirituality and dramatization of
miracles has been maintained throughout the film. Songs have been shot well and
with great colours. Some scenes stand out, like Baba re-entering his body after
three days and his practical explanation of spiritual concepts.
Minus Points :
Comedy, if you can call it that, was terrible. These scenes
should have been left out completely. Ali and Ananth have been wasted in poorly
written roles and their sequences actually get on your nerves without making
you laugh. Srihari is too loud as the Englishman Wales. Anchor Jhansi is seen
in a very brief role.
The second half of the film dips slightly and does not get
very engaging until the last 20 minutes.
Some historical bloopers, like hanging the portrait of a
very old Queen Elizabeth in a pre-independence era setting and Shayaji Shinde
speaking in contemporary English vocabulary, will seem a bit obvious.
Technical Aspects :
S. Gopal Reddy’s cinematography is a major asset for the
movie. He has given the visuals a very rich feel. The film’s dialogues are good
and have been written well, keeping in mind Sai’s nature. Editing is good.
Production values are rich.
Keeravani’s music goes well with the situations but as I
said earlier, background score and re-recording are phenomenal. Raghavendra Rao
excelled in the climax episodes and through the latter part of the first half.
Screenplay in emotional scenes is good. However, he should have taken care with
respect to comedy scenes and the starting stages of the first half.
Verdict :
Nagarjuna deserves a hearty applause for having the courage
to take up this role and he has managed to pull it off with conviction.This
film will appeal immensely to Sai Baba devotees and it will be a good watch for
casual movie lovers. Comparisons are bound to happen with Vijay Chander’s
version of Sai Baba but the two films are very different from each other. From
a commercial perspective, we need to see how the masses take to the film.
Watch the film without any expectations and immerse yourself
in Sai Baba’s spirituality.
