Synopsis
Bhairava Movie Review
Bhairava (Srihari) works as a CI in one of the police stations of Hyderabad. He is honest, people friendly and his philosophy is that there should be a change in the society where people refuse to accept crime.
He allows four orphans to live in the police station and has a special interest in one of them Shivudu (Meghansh). He has the support of a TV journalist Revathi (Sindhu Tolani) in his fight for a crimefree society. A politician creates enough trouble for him and he has to contend with baddie Chaturvedi (Supreet).
Then there is an unexpected turn of events connected with Shivudu and the rest of the story deals with how Bhairava tackles the situation.
The Performances
Bhairava Movie Review
Srihari carries the film with his ease of performance and dialogue delivery. Meghansh, son of Sreehari, is natural in his acting as the orphan boy. Sindhu Tolani looks glamorous. Supreet somehow fails to impress. All others go through their motions.
The Techniques
The story is Srihari-centered with enough commercial elements. The dialogues have punch. The screenplay sustains the narration. Though some of the solutions to combat crime look illogical, the theme is projected with sincerity but gets lost in the commercial elements. Background music is good. Cinematography and audiography are ok.
The Verdict
Bhairava Movie Review
Sreehari’s fans will enjoy the film. In spite of good performances by Srihari and his son Meghansh, some sections of the audience may not feel the film to be totally entertaining.

Srihari, Sindhu Tolani, Supreet, Meghansh and others

The Film
Adi Nuvve conforms to the recent trend in Tollywood love stories where the hero has no aim in life except to gain somehow the heart of the girl he loves.
The Synopsis
A conscentious father (Kasi Viswanath) wants his son Ravi Teja (Chaitanya) to be a successful man in life and grooms him accordingly. He also wants his son to go to USA to pursue higher studies. When Teja goes to get visa at the US Consulate, he comes across Sameera (Aksha) and falls in love. Smitten by her charms, he misses his trip to the United States. The rest of the story deals with how he wins her love.
The Performances
Adi Nuvve Movie Review
Chaitanya and Aksha do well but fail to impress because of a weak story. Kasi Viswanath is convincing. Brahmanandam can’t spice you up. All others just go through their motions.
The Techniques
A bad story has been attempted to be packaged in stylish presentation but the sloppy screenplay plays the spoil-sport. Dialogues and music are just average. Cinematography is good. The technical aspects are good but do not make an impression because of patchy narration and illogical incidents.
The Verdict
The film can best be ignored.

Pawan Kalyan is powerful and sincere Police officer . He takes the responsibilty of Prime Minister’s Meeting and takes care of Prime Minister from a terrorist group attack. After seeing the sincerity of this police officer, Prime Minister presents a Gold medal offers a chance to seek something he wish to do. So, Pawan expressed his wish to eradicate terrorism and asks for some special powers with Prime Minister. Prime Minister sanctions special powers to Pawan and he forms a group of officers titled Puli and tarts chasing the terrorists. Surprisingly Pawan finds Primer Minister is also involved in the nexus of Terrorists and he starts working against prime Minister. Finally wins the war with Terrorists. Heroine Nikesha Patel is also playing the role of Police officer who is also in the group of Puli.
Komaram Puli is an revenge taking or payback movie. Its is starred by Pavan Kalyan. PK is a commando born in a family which is haunted by goons since his father's time. Manoj Bhajpai is the villian with a huge network. He runs international mafia Network.
Flashback: Pavan Kalyans father is Bhanu chander. He was killed during pavan kalyans birth by the villians. They try to kill his mother too. His mother who is a 9 months pregnant escapes from the villains eyes. She goes and hides inside a well. Then there was a huge rain and the well begins to get filled with water. She delivers the child inside the water (this scene is copied from Apocalypto Movie). During Pavan Kalyans birth a tiger roars and the screen play team shows pavan kalyan crying with a tigers voice..Hence he is named as Puli (Tiger). By the way his surname is Komaram. So he is Komaram Puli.
Now back to the basics...i mean original story.
Komaram Puli grows up and becomes a commando. Then there are few romantic scenes between Hero Pawan and heroine Nikisha patel. Pawan Kalyan marries Nikesha Patel who is also a cop. There was a small quarell and just before climax... Manoj Bajpai's men kill Nikesha in her house.
Komaran Puli returns to home and sees his wife's throat being cut and lying in house dead. He thinks he had to do something to the nation to prevent further any such incidents happening to the people around. ows to destroy Manoj Bajpai's network in climax. Overall I think its a one time watch movie.

Aparna and Ramu become friends and Ramu comes to her house, there he learns that Ramineedu would kill him off he steps out of this house. Rest of drama is all about how Ramu saves his life.
Analysis
Three cheers to director Rajamouli, the top director of commercial entertainers in Tollywood. With Maryada Rammanna, he proves once again that he is capable of creating magic with any script or any star or non-star. Although Maryada Ramanna is complete departure from his style of films, starring a comedian as lead hero, he weaves a drama that glues the audiences to the seats without distraction. At 2 hours 10 Minutes, the film interests you till the last minute with focused narration. Near to one hour, the film runs revolves around a single house and yet you don?t feel bored. There Rajamouli triumphs completely as director and screenplay writer. Although there is not much entertainment or comedy, the narration holds the interest and puts you on guessing game how would the hero come out from the tricky position he is in and saves his life.
It is entirely Rajamouli?s film. You don?t find double meaning dialogues and excessive gore (although there is plenty of action and swords, fights, chases). Rather Rajamouli focuses on the suspense and tense moments. With some good songs by Keeravani and superb background score, the director turns the simple story into an engrossing movie.
As a narrator, what Rajamouli does best is not deviating from the plot and not inserting unnecessary comedy track by other comedians. He should be commended for it.
However, Maryada Ramanna is not devoid of minor flaws. It lacks comedy, the supposed comedy on Sunil and his antics, with bicycle talking is not that funny. And doesn?t have any awe-inspiring moments that we regularly find in Rajamouli?s movies. Other than those, Marayada Ramanna is clean fun and good fast-paced entertainer.
Performances
For any actor, shouldering a movie to almost 2 hour run time, a tough task. Especially the actor is not charismatic. But Sunil with his innocent looks and sincere performance holds the movie. He looks agile after reducing weight drastically. He doesn?t do much comedy but his expressions and the tension that he evokes is perfect. Sunil can now be a bankable lead actor.
Saloni is cute with her expressive eyes. She looks glamorous and a good pair to Sunil. Nagineedu in the role of a faction feud has right looks but his performance is not that effective. Brahmaji seems more of an uncle to Saloni than Bava. Rest of the cast is okay. Ravi Teja has lent voice to a bicycle in his typical manner.
One expects a Rajamouli?s film to be visually grand and the film doesn?t fail on it. Ram Prasad gives best output for a small film (one shot where Sunil is put up in a room, and camera is seen from the key hole angle is superb). Artwork by Ravinder is good. As the most of the movie runs in the house, his set of the house has enough space and more rooms to make the drama effective. Keeravani always give best output to Rajamouli?s movies and for Maryada Ramanna all his songs are melodious. Especially the background score and some bit songs are terrific. Production values for a low-budget movie are good. Writer S S Kanchi?s dialogues are apt for the movie. It is entirely Rajamouli?s show and he does his best. As a director, he is topnotch.
Bottom-line
Rajamouli has crafted a movie that not only elevates his name and fame but also gives paisa vasool entertainment to the audiences. Maryada Ramanna is fast-paced drama with tense moments. Sunil?s performance, good camera work, superb music and Rajamouli?s perfect narrative skills are plus points of the movie. Enjoy it.
Rating: 3.5/5
Inspiration
The film?s basic plot is taken from Our Hospitality (1923), a Hollywood silent movie. But they adopted it so effectively.
