Review: Savitri – Decent family entertainer

Nara-Rohit
Everytime we open Facebook or Twitter or Youtube, what we find in common is short films. A short film maker is born out of each and every street these days. Some are born out of passion, some are just to impress girls and some out of their personal reasons. One of the short film maker born with passion is Pavan Sadineni. He made his debut into feature filmmaking with super hit film “Prema Ishq Kadhal” which was released in 2014 and became a decent hit. He is now making his second outing with Nara Rohit and Savitri starrer “Savithri” produced by V B Rajendra Prasad under Vision Film Makers. Let’s see how it works on us!!
 
Story:
Savithri (Nanditha) is a girl who is born and is very much excited about marriage. She always want to marry to be a part in those celebrations. She is a girl who will do anything or go to any extent to get married. She gets her sister married forcibly and makes her line clear for marriage.
Her marriage gets fixed with a guy they know as family friends. She and her granny (Rama Prabha) along with Satya goes on pilgrimage to Shirdi. While in the train journey she happens to meet Rishi (Nara Rohit) and an eloped love couple (Madhunandhan and Sri Mukhi). Things get twisted when Sri Mukhi’s father’s gang attacks on train and Savithri along with Rishi and eloped couple miss the train. Who is Rishi?? What do Savithri do to get married?? That forms the rest of the story.
 
Actors Performance:
 
Nara Rohit as Rishi is superb and he lived in his role. He has to shed some weight to look handsome. He looks awkward in closeup shots. Nanditha as Savithri, a girl who always want her to be married as soon as possible. She did a terrific job in her role. Prabhas Seenu is nice in his hilarious role, a owner of Friendly Travels. 
 
Rama Prabha is good as Savithri’s granny. Maadhunandan and Sri Mukhi as eloped couple are nice and generate good humour. Posani Krishna Murali as Krishna has given nice performance. Shakala Shankar is funny. Murli Sharma is nice as Savithri’s father. Ajay as Savithri’s uncle is good. Ravi Babu is fine. Satya, Satyam Venu, Dhanya Balakrishna, Fish Venkat, Vennela Kishore and other actors did what they are given.
 
Technical Aspects:
 
Basic story and plot line of Savithri is simple yet good. Screenplay is well written and it engages audience into the movie from the word go. Dialogues penned by Krishna Chaitanya are simple and situational. Writing department has done a fine job.
Songs are superbly composed and are trendy. Sravan did a fantastic job with songs. Chitramainadhi and Pilla O Pilla are our picks. One of the highlights of the movie is his background score. It gives necessary elevation and emotion to the movie. Cinematography by Vasanth are superbly rich and they makes us audience feel positive. Editing is neat. Action is choreographed well. Production values are rich.
 
Plus Points: 
1) Nara Rohit
2) Nanditha 
3) Music by Shravan
4) Cinematography by Vasanth
 
Minus Points: 
1) Second half could have been better
2) Ignorable dull moments

Review: Attack – Watch it at your own risk

RGV’s-Attack-Release-Date-Locked
A director is said to be captain of ship. He controls and authorises everything that goes into making of a film. Directing a single movie at a time is an exhausting task, mentally and physically. So, directors don’t take that risk. As an exception to this, we have RGV aka Ram Gopal Varma. We have a plenty of movie posters or teasers or trailers released of his movies. One in that list is Manchu Manoj starrer “Attack” produced by C Kalyan, Swethalana and Teja under C K Entertainments, having Beeruva fame Surabhi as lead actress. It is releasing into theatres today. Let’s see how it works on us!
 
Story: 
 
Guru Raj (Prakash Raj) is a business man and a person who once runs a rowdy gang. He has three sons Kali (Jagapathy Babu), Gopi (Vadde Naveen), Radha (Manchu Manoj). While on a visit to temple, Guru Raj is attacked by a gang and is killed. His family is clueless about the motive behind this attack. 
 
Kali starts digging out the possible reasons and motive for this attack and people involved and planned. Everyone starts going opposite them. They even gets no support from anyone. They doubt a person and find about his whereabouts through a Police. Kali goes there with his gang and he is killed in this attack. Then it is the rise of Radha to solve all the problems. Who is behind these attacks?? What is the motive behind these attacks?? That forms the rest of story.
 
 
Actor’s  Performance: 
 
Manchu Manoj as Radha doesn’t get much to perform in the first half. He is good throughout his role. Jagapathy Babu as Kali is impressive. It is said to be a comeback of Vadde Naveen. He is good with his performance. Prakash Raj as Guru Raj is adequate. RGV narrated philosophy through his role. What can a good actor/actors do when the script itself is a vaccum. Surabhi is seen hardly in the movie. Poonam Kaur is only meant for her thigh show. Abhimanyu Singh is good. Other actors are adequate.
 
Analysis:
 
Attack story plot is just laced with attacks and counter attacks. There is nothing to look into this story. Dialogues are simple and philosophical at times. All the characters in the movie are under developed. The script of this Attack is a big zero. Screenplay is bad. It fails to engage audience and also fails to create curiosity.
 
Music by Ravi Shankar is okay. His background music has nothing to do with this movie. His score where Jagapathi Babu dies is very bad. Cinematography by Anji is good. They are all RGV’s vintage angles. Ariel shots are good. Editing by Anwar Ali is mediocre. Stunts are well composed. Production values are good.
 
 
Plus Points: 
 
1) Prakash Raj and Manoj Performances
2) Cinematography
 
Minus Points: 
1) Music
2) Story
3) Screenplay
