So the husband dragged me to watch ‘Adurs’. With so much to do and wrap up, no idea why I allowed this to happen. Both of us came back with a slight headache. The last statement need not necessarily reflect my opinion of the movie.
My two cents:
- The movie was not worth $12/pop.It’s a DVD movie.
- I knew the story in the first scene and then kept anticipating the next. Bad for my brain.
- NTR jr is a flexible but boring dancer. He bends like the straw, but it’s the same straw and the same bends. After a while one is left with a crooked and slightly stiff neck.
- Nayantara has become half her size, and she has managed to continue to look hot. She can’t do a damn move except for shake that waist area. It gets boring. Even the husband said so, and he likes the girl.
- The other girl’s alright, though there’s something amiss. Her eyes or something. Great body, but the eyes, they lack the sparkle.
- NTR jr cannot do bram-speak. Bram-speak is not just using choice ‘abusive’ words. There’s a music to it. It’s heavenly to the ears despite whatever the content of the speech. When done right, there’s a laughter to it, suitable enough to hold your sides and laugh. Similar to Kamal in MMKR and stuff (That link is unrelated, I just like that scene a lot). Then again, maybe am comparing apples to oranges.
- Nassar’s of course losing it to go accept such itty bitty roles.
- Sankarabharanam Rajyalakshmi plays mom. As per the rules of all returning yester-years heroines, she’s suitably rotund.
- Brahmanandam is the star and the hero of the movie. The last hour or so despite the fights and twists and hopeful creative confusion he completely steals the thunder with his dialog delivery. I suspect he writes his own lines, or improvs appropriately. The guy’s an unbelievable natural.
- Too many songs, and not a single madisaar maami one. Very disappointed.
- Too many babies, babies in prams, toddlers running around, and small talk during the show at the theaters. Demands a separate post in complete vigor on the rules for (parents) watching movies at the cinemas, that am itching to get to.
Why?
Good question. The things we do for the spouse. You’ll know when you get there.
Hell no.
A telugu movie post after ages. The last was Ashta Chamma if I am right?
I am not a fan of Jr.NTR and Nayantara can’t emote. Aren’t there better films to watch? 😀
NTR Jr and Kamal Haasan in the same paragraph is sacrilege. 😛
Sigh! I had NO clue there was a Junior NTR :-(. No fair to say Kamal and Brahmin speak 😉 He is a true blue Iyengar. Dashavataram (first 10 minutes)!!! Awesome. Meendum Kokila may be before your time but Sridevi in madisaar is cute.
My3: O yes, the boy’s an image of the superman himself. Sridevi was exceptionally cute in Meendum and all I vaguely remember is that song she sings when he comes to ‘see’ her. 🙂
Gradwolf: I know. I must have lost my marbles last night. Will do my penance soon. 😐
Praveen: You know my blog more than I do. *sigh
I should write more reviews and especially of teligu movies no? They do provide good entertainment. Next up should be Magadheera me thinks.
Wow Maghadheera is a whole new species of its own! Although I loved Bangaru Kodi petta……he papa he papa he paaapa….I’m losing it.
LOL! I LOVE the rolling credits song 🙂
Did someone actually say Meendum Kokila maybe before your time?! Shouldn’t you be dancing? 😛
LOL at NTR not being able to do bram-speak! I know what you are saying.
good thing i saved my money then!
Bookworm: I’d worry more on the time ‘wasted’ , but yeah 🙂
Shilpadesh: Yep! Very few can pull it off, and am talking about ones who weren’t raised in such an environment.
Gradwolf: I still am 😛
Agree…Brahmanandam is the only reason I sit through the full movie these days. He was hilarious in Ready and Dee and awful in Ek Niranjan (well, only ones from recent memory). I am waiting for the dvd now. Reviews say Namo Venkatesa has some good comedy
Apparently. A few friends switched halls after getting to the movies. At least Trisha would have been watchable..
Was suitably rotund! Like it is a pre-requisite:)
Hi Rads,
I am so glad we dropped the plan to drive 2 hrs to watch where this movie was playing 🙂
YOu loosers the world goes one way and you think you won.
Suck your dicks brothers, because no body is going to do it for you.
