magadheera August 8, 2009

magadheera doesn’t need dad’s help to pull the audience towards the theaters this time. unlike chirutha, which did all the box office collections only in the first week, magadheera definitely is a blockbuster. When it comes to the box
office collections, the “house full” board is here to stay for quite sometime even after the initial few weeks.rajamouli’s magadheera to charan is as to simhadri to jr.ntr. charan improved a lot compared to his debut movie in almost all the aspects like his diction,dance,dialogue delivery and his overall performance is good (ofcourse, the credit goes to rajamouli here). there is a freshness in the screenplay and taking but, somehow I can’t help myself comparing it with arundhathi. The similarities being that both are period films revolving around the princess and the rebirth concept.The opening sequence and the way the director blended it into the second half  is good.but, then again it was in the same manner as showed in arundhathi.the similarities end here. the special effects and the grandeur is definitely incomparable, only possible for a big banner like geetha arts. the surprise package of the film was the last song with all the technicians , cast and crew. here again its a copy of om shanthi om , but something unique for a telugu film.the opening sequence is good. i liked the way the director blended the past and the present during charan’s free fall from the helicopter.kajal is very pretty and her styling by rama rajamouli is amazing. rama dressed her up just right for the role of indu.songs can be rated from excellent to poor in the same order as they appear in the movie with bangaru kodi petta being the best and the kim sharma’s being the worst.the background score is just average.It could have been better at few scenes which created a huge impact thru the special effects. yeah, and as somebody pointed out to me today, the movie completely revolves around the hero and the herione. there are hardly any scenes or frames without charan and/or kajal.
so magadheera is a “don’t miss” category and is here to win a few filmfare and nandi awards this time.
