Review by Esskay :
When an actor as capable as Mahesh Babu joins forces with a director as clever and wily as Srinu Vytla, fireworks are expected. Dookudu is not only a colorfully packaged entertainer, but also is a cracker with laugh out loud comic scenes. It has all the elements that have worked for both Srinu Vytla and Mahesh Babu ....more

Review by Pandu :
V N Aditya’s latest film ‘Mugguru’ has a strong stench of films made in the early 90s about young men who dream of becoming rich overnight by making rich girls fall in love with them. Few years ago, another film ‘Sandade Sandadi’ made effective use of this theme; however it managed to weave a hilarious story ....more

Music Director : Anoop Rubens
Starring : Tanish, Anchal, Roja others...

Director : Bharathi Ganesh
Producer : Balamurugan M, Anil S Nayar, Sudharshan Sharma
Music Director : Manikanth Kadri
Starring : Krishnudu, Poonam Singar, Ananya others...
Review by Pandu :
Five minutes into the film, it becomes clear that Amayakudu is going to be packed with too many crass jokes on Krishnudu’s weight issues and melodrama about how ‘cute’ the family is. While we have had films ....more

Starring : Emraan Hashmi, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yana Gupta Charmi and others...
Review by Esskay :
The film Murder may be remembered only for Mallika Sherawat’s histrionics (ahem) along with Emraan Hashmi, but it did give a new life to the genre of erotic thrillers in mainstream Hindi Cinema. ....more

Director : Abhinay Deo
Producer : Ronnie Screwvala, Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, Jim Furgele
Music Director : Ram Sampat
Starring : Imran Khan, Poorna Jagannathan, Vir Dasm, Kunal Roy Kapoor and others...
Review by Esskay :
Ever since Amir Khan ventured into film production, he has made films like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par etc., which not only told amazing stories, but also touched few untouched genres. His latest production, Delhi Belly too is no different. It is a shockingly ugly tale on the surface, ....more

Director : Eeshwar Reddy
Producer : P Ram Mohan Rao
Music Director : Koti
Starring : Varun Sandesh, Asmita Sood and others...
Review by Esskay :
It isn’t strange in Tollywood that a director like Eeshwar Reddy, who has serious films like Aa Naluguru, Mee Sreyobhilashi etc. under his belt, titles his film Brammigadi Katha. Obviously he seems ....more
Virodhi Virodhi Release date: 01 July 2011.
Director : Neelakanta
Producer : Anil Meka
Music Director : R.P.Patnayak
Starring : Srikanth, Kamalini Mukherjee, Ajay, Kamal Kamaraju and others...
Review by Esskay :
There have been very few Telugu films that deal with the topic of naxalism. While most of them work with lots of loud dialogue and emotions, actor Srikanth’s first home production Virodhi (meaning Enemy) lays its foundation on subtlety. With National Award winning screenplay writer Neelakanta directing ....more

Music Director : Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani
Starring : Amitabh Bachchan, Raveena Tandon, Hema Malini, Sonal Chauhan, Prakash Raj, Charmi and others...
Review by Esskay :
In the early 70s, the intense eyes and dynamic voice of a tall young man made India go crazy – giving birth to the legend what we all know as Angry Young Man - Amitabh Bachchan. Since then he has come of age, even in literal sense. However, for all those who love his earlier movies ....more
180 180 Release date: 25 June 2011.
Director : Jayendra Sarma
Producer : M D Kiran Reddy, C Srikanth, Swaroop Reddy
Music Director : Sharreth
Starring : Siddharth, Nithya Menon, Priya Anand and others...
Review by Esskay :
The philosophy of living for the moment has been repeated oft by the mystics and the great spiritual leaders of the world – more so in India. 180 is based on the same premise, that living for now is the root to all happiness and that breaking attachments is the highest form of expressing love. With proven actors like Siddharth ....more
180 180 Release date: 25 June 2011.
Director : Jayendra Sarma
Producer : M D Kiran Reddy, C Srikanth, Swaroop Reddy
Music Director : Sharreth
Starring : Siddharth, Nithya Menon, Priya Anand and others...
Review by Aks :
Siddharth bounces back with 180 which is his second release of 2011 after the disappointing Ananaga Oka Dheerudu and 180 incidentally also his return to Tamil cinema after many years. 180, at best, can be summed up as the journey of Ajay (Siddharth) across 6 months viz. ....more

Director : Premraj
Producer : Hari
Music Director : Yasho Krishna
Starring : Jagapathi Babu, Charmi and others...
Review by Esskay :
Ever since the success of her film Mantra, Charmi started doing films that have ‘different’ story lines, though none of them worked. Nagaram Nindrapothunna Vela is no different from amongst them. ....more
Vaadu Veedu Vaadu Veedu Release date: 17 June 2011.
Director : Bala
Producer : Vikram Krishna
Music Director : Yuvan Shankar Raja
Starring : Vishal Krishna, Arya, Janani Iyer, Madhu Shalini and others...
Review by Esskay :
Having made films like Siva Putrudu, Nenu Devunni Bala has managed to earn a good number of followers for ‘his kind’ of films. His next, Vaadu Veedu, with Vishal and Arya, is yet another ‘realistic’ tale, though it lacks the genuine ‘shock’ value that his previous films had. ....more
Badrinath Badrinath Release date: 10 June 2011.
Director : V.V.Vinayak
Producer : Allu Aravind
Music Director : M.M. Keeravani
Starring : Allu Arjun, Tamanna, Prakash Raj and others...
Review by Pramod :
While making Badrinath, V V Vinayak has taken up a medley of human emotions like faith, love, jealousy, and mixed it up with sensational news items like terrorism and religion. In the process he has served up stale cinematic fare. ....more
Badrinath Badrinath Release date: 10 June 2011.
Director : V.V.Vinayak
Producer : Allu Aravind
Music Director : M.M. Keeravani
Starring : Allu Arjun, Tamanna, Prakash Raj and others...
Review by Esskay:
Director V.V.Vinayak is known for his action-oriented dramas and Badrinath has all the elements that his movies promise. There are richly choreographed fight sequences, dances, comedy scenes and stunning support from the art direction. So does Badrinath work? ....more
