Mayuri – Best Thriller Movie Review

[review]

Amidst the Horror-Comedy trend, here comes a serious Horror-thriller with Nayatara as main lead. A Tamil dubbed telugu film “Mayuri”, hows the movie, does it scared the audience? Let’s see

Plot: film starts with some weird incidents happening in the life a drawing artist after he reads a story sent by a editor for Magazine, He realizes that it is related to a place called “Maya Vanam” which is located far away in the woods.

Meanwhile, in a parallel thread, Apsara(Nayatara) a struggling artist, leaves his husband and lives with her friend. She is struggling for finances.
and there is this movie crew, made a film called “Cheekati” and for publicity, they through a challenge to public that, whoever watches the whole movie alone in theater will get a 5 Lacs as prize money.

Apsara senses this challenge as an opportunity, gives her acceptance to face the challenge, what happens while she is watching the film? Who is Mayuri? And what’s her story? forms a brilliant story.

Analysis: Director has a mind-blowing plot, in a way he justified the story with his superb taking and executed in a convincing way. Screenplay of the film puzzles the audience, makes to think but never leaves audience in a confusion, There are flaws and routine scenes here and there, but because of superb camera work and non-linear screenplay makes it a edge of a seat thriller.

One should appreciate the crew, because with in a very limited resources and budget, crew was able to deliver a good filmatic experience for the audience. With the selection of colour grading for different threads, director have done a laudable job.

Directors brilliance can be seen by, the way he handled certain roles like Mayuri and Arjun, without showing their faces. All the artists although new, gave what is required. Only song which is written by Chandrabose is good.

Artist Performances:
Nayanatara may be the lead actress but has less screen presence and she only needs just to give some subtle expressions, which she managed with perfection. All the other artists done well, Director abstracted the right expressions from them.

Technical Departments
Mayuri more of a technician’s film rather than the actor’s film. Every department done well, Cinematography is top notch, Art department have done brilliant job. Lighting through out the film is excellent. Costumes are natural. BGM enthralls you.

Courier Boy Kalyan Movie Review

[review]

Story:

PK (Nithin) Which means Panileni Kalyan who tries alot for a job. One of his friend is a courier boy who has to deliver a package unfortunately instead of him Nithin will deliver the package coincidentally he will deliver it to Heroine Kavya (Yami Gautham), in a first glance he falls for her and to meet her regularly he’ll become a courier boy and does different stuff to impress her. Ashutosh Rana will be doing some research in medicine field like to abort pregnant women with the help of medicines and collect their traces to do research. Who ever the pregnant women visits him he will abort them without letting them know. All these consequences noticed by the compounder will courier the social worker satyamurthy(Nazar), did the courier reached to satyamurthy? How is the courier associated with Kalyan? Ashutosh Rana’s plan will turn out to be successful or not?? Should watch all these on the big screen.

Performance:

Nithin has accepted this movie only to try something new and yes he infact did that in his career. He was looking perfect as a courier boy and performed well. Love,action episodes were perfect.Yami Gautham appeared good. Satyam Rajesh got a good character in this film.Nazar,Ashutosh Rana,Ravi,Harshavardhan,Surekhavani were into their regular characters.

Technical Aspects:

Karthik,Anoop Rubens composed music they were ok. As per the story perfect rerecording was done by Sandeep Chautha. Cinematography was good,dialogues were ok.Producers have also invested good amount as per the story instead of over budget to avoid risks

Overall:

Infact this is a good script on doing a research through the stem cells to find out the cure of a disease but aborting pregnant women’s without their notice is a different concept. The Director has linked up such a broad point to courier boy. What if the courier hasn’t reached to the concerned person or to someone else, this particular suspense has been awesomely continued throughout. Though this sort of stories is new to the industry and so the entire first half director elevated Nithin to become a courier boy and that of Love track and a introduction of the stem cells research concept.

Second half was on the courier completely, such a typical story needs screenplay is the key role. Director need to involve the audience but he was late here. For the first 10minutes he has done interestingly, Saptagiri, Telangana shakuntala’s comedy didn’t work out and the Hero turning into courier boy was not so real and the love track was not connected anywhere. The stem cells concept will be greek and latin to common man, such concepts should have been explained in detail with graphics.

Songs were not upto the mark, they were like disturbance during the track. As per the script Hero’s introduction should have been naturally outside somewhere rather than in a pub. They haven’t designed the costumes as per the characters. Sapthagiri’s comedy track has been attached at the end of the film which was not at all entertaining. Stem cells, umbilical cells, fetal system like terms were not at all understandable by the audience. Satyam Rajesh reading the letter has spoiled the essence in it.

Finally:

People who like suspense,Action content based cinema’s “Courier Boy Kalyan” will surely entertain. From such different scripts we don’t expect comedy so can watch it. It cannot be said that this is a typical experimental cinema in Telugu film industry. People who are in search of new concept based cinema will surely like and be impressed with courier boy.
