Prathinidhi Movie Review

Prathinidhi review: Thought-provoking Prathinidhi

With elections just around the corner, films with political backdrop hitting the screens. After handful of films like Prabhanjanam, Pratightana, here comes Nara Rohit's Prathinidhi. Unlike others, this film has got hype ever since the makers unveiled its first teaser. Rohit has been going through lean phase of late. Unfazed by it, Rohit teams up with newcomer Prashanth Mandava for a political drama. Will he overcome the jinx with this? Check out our verdict.

Plot: Manchodu Sreenu (Nara Rohit) is a responsible citizen who strictly goes by rule book. He doesn't even let anyone to throw the waste on roads. One day he abducts the Chief Minister of State. And yes, it has a purpose. What was it? What compelled Sreenu to kidnap the CM? What are all his demands? Did he manage to come out of it at the end? All these form the crux of the story.

Performances: 

Nara Rohit: Nara Rohit as Manchodu Sreenu hogs the limelight. He carries off the film on his shoulders. It's his show all the way. His subtle performance work in favour of the film. Yet Rohit couldn't overcome his negatives while playing romantic interest. Rohit needs to focus on this and rest all is fine. 

Kota Sreenivasa Rao: Kota Sreenivasa Rao might have donned the cap of politician umpteen times and yes, he did act like CM in many films for the past. Yet, Kota's role in Prathinidhi is quite different from his previous ones. Unlike his erstwhile films, Kota has more or less equal screen presence with Nara Rohit in the film. Kota fits the bill aptly.

Shubhra Aiyyappa: Newcomer Shubhra Aiyyappa is not so easy on eyes. She looks old. Shubhra needs to improve her acting prowess. Else, going gets tough for her given that there is high competition.

Technical aspects: On technical front, Prathinidhi scores well. Chitti Babu cranks his camera well. Background score comes in handy for gripping narrative. Editing is good. However, editor should have used his scissors well for the first part of the film which appears draggy at times.

Thumbs Up:
1. Nara Rohit
2. Story
3. Gripping Screenplay
4. Dialogues
5. Climax

Thumbs Down:
1. Romantic track of Rohit-Shubhra Aiyyappa
2. Sluggish narration in first half

Analysis: The film opens with interesting title cards quoting best quotes of popular, influential leaders. Right from then, the movie goes on pace till the end. It is a bold, fresh take on prevailing political system. The well-conceived, thought-provoking film is an eye-opener to many wicked politicians and traditional political parties. Despite handful of mistakes, draggy narration at times, debutante director succeeds in keeping the thrill alive till the end. It's the second half, told convincingly, that saves the film. 

Especially, Manchodu Sreenu's demands for releasing CM and his reasons for abducting him is what strikes a chord. Dialogues are big asset. Nara Rohit's subtle performance works in favour of the film. Actors Kota Sreenivasa Rao, Posani Krishna Murali as usual did fine job. Hitting the screens in political season, Prathinidhi makes for a good watch.

Verdict: Manchi Prathinidhi (Good representative)

Race Gurram Dialogue Is 100% True

Stylish star Allu Arjun is on cloud nine for the first time ever, as he scored his first blockbuster after years of career. Other than 'Julayi', Surender Reddy directed 'Race Gurram' is the only biggest hit and trend setting blockbuster delivered by him.

Right now, cine lovers are discussing about one particular dialogue from this movie. In the interval sequence, Bunny says, 'Don't start a race to find out who is better. To overtake me in a race, I'm not runner, I'm Race Gurram'. This particular dialogue is now making flutters in Tollywood as the dialogue literally means what it is doing now. 'Race Gurram' has simply entered 40 Crore club and until elections get over there is no release of any other big movie. This will surely give an edge to Bunny to collect more than 50 crores worldwide share for sure.

'Bunny has started his collections race. It is impossible to catch him now', says a trade analyst. Making that dialogue 100% true, our hero is running faster like a racehorse, minting huge at box office and overtaking other records. Good show Bunny!

Pawan Says He Will Support NDA In 2 States

As a part of their tacit understanding, TDP head honcho Chandra Babu Naidu and film star and Jana Sena founder Pawan Kalyan shared the dais during election campaigning. Addressing the gathering, Chandra Babu claimed that he and Narendra Modi were a winning combination. He said they will strive together for the development of the newly states. Pawan started off his speech by saying that he chose not to field candidates to avoid indirectly supporting the Congress. He also blamed the Congress for the way in which it went about the bifurcation process and said that there was no need to delay the decision till hundreds of youth sacrificed their lives. 

He said this was the primary reason for his extending his support to Narendra Modi at the centre and Chandra Babu closer home as he was part of NDA in the past. Pawan also said that he was sincerely hoping that NDA should come to power at the Centre and in Telangana which will benefit the people of both Telangana and Seemandhra.  The instigating statements made by KCR against Modi and Sonia Gandhi will not aid the prospects of Telangana people, he said. Pawan added that all the sacrifices by Telangana people will go waste if they support TRS and KCR. Pawan said that he envisaged NDA governments in both the states and said that he would campaign extensively for the NDA alliance in both the states. 

However, Pawan strategically avoided mentioning TDP during the entire speech. When asked if he will campaign along side Chandra Babu, he diplomatically said that he will decide depending on the situation at that time. Pawan also chose to address the issue of a BC candidate being made the CM in Telangana. He reminded that Chandra Babu had promised to make a BC candidate chief minister in Telangana. While criticizing KCR for talking down to BC leader Shravan, he said he was extending his support to NDA based on Chandra Babu’s promise.

Pawan's Bullet Speech in Nizamabad

Addressing thousands of spectators at Bharat Vijaya Rally public meet held in Nizamabad, Jana Sena party president Pawan Kalyan attacked the BJP's oppositions . His revelations about how Telangana is achieved and what TRS is doing at the moment, have struck a chord with the youths at the meeting.
 
"Many parties are claiming that sanctioning Telangana is their own hard work. But in reality, Telangana is the result of thousands of self-implicated deaths (suicides) of youths in the region," said Pawan, criticizing Congress and TRS, as the two parties are busy claiming the credits. "At a time when 2-3 youths are committing suicide daily, why this UPA government hasn't bifurcated the state?," he asked. "There is Telangana in my heart and blood. Though I was born in Bapatla, Telangana gave me rebirth."
 
Blasting KCR's family for trying to become monarchs of the newly formed state, Pawan criticized why a leader wants so many posts for his family, for his son, daughter and son-in-law. "If we vote KCR to power in Telangana, this state will travel into oblivion. We need to vote for parties that could develop the region. Development means not just skyscrapers and real-estate deals, but tackling people's issues effectively," says Pawan.
 
On a finishing note, Pawan confirmed that Modi government is going to be formed at Centre and reiterated that Modi is man of action than words. He questioned spectators as to why Jana Sena should not support an efficient leader like Modi, and the crowd burst into claps and whistles. That should silence his critics probably.

All eyes on Modi's 4 Shows

All eyes on BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi's Today's visit to the state. Modi's visit, a day after Rahul Gandhi's visit, gained much significance. Interestingly, Modi is going to address four public shows in Andhra Pradesh in a day. He is going to address public in Nizamabad (at 2 PM), Karimnagar (at 3 PM), Mahabubnagar (5 PM) and finally in Hyderabad's L.B Stadium (at 6.15 PM).

While Pawan Kalyan is all set to go to Nizamabad in a special helicopter from Begumpet and join Modi's Nizamabad speech, TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu will only join Narendra Modi in Mahabubnagar as Babu is busy touring in Chittoor district. Both Babu, Pawan Kalyan will be seen sharing dais with Modi in Mahabubnagar and Hyderabad meetings. Large number of police personnel have been deployed and security is beefed up considering Modi's public meetings. Hyderabad City Traffic police have imposed restrictions in city from 2 PM to 9 PM in and around the locales of L.B Stadium.

What is this Chiru?

He might be a Mega Star on screen, but when it comes to politics, Chiranjeevi turned out to be a mere clown. And proving it right again, his recent speeches while campaigning for Congress candidates in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states become a laughing stock for locales. More than raising concerning issues, Chiru has been recalling about his shootings in the regions, success of his films and subsequent collections of his hit pictures in the areas. He hardly talking about public-issues, their plight. Naturally, this is drawing flak from people. What's more irony is even the very candidates of Congress are in dissent over Chiru's poor campaigning strategy.

Here are the few blunders from his Tamil Nadu campaigning that made Congress candidates red-faced.

1. Perhaps this is the biggest one which no one would have done: Chiru dubbed Kudankulam Project as a drinking-irrigation project contrary to that it is an Atomic Power Project.

2. Chiru claimed that Congress had played significant role in making Hosuru National Highway into a 4-line highway. Truth is that Hosuru National Highway is 6-line highway.

3. Above all, Chiru alleged that AIADMK and DMK haven't built a single drinking-irrigation project.Hogenakkal built on Kaveri and Krishna Water Project (Telugu Ganga Project) built on Krishna River were during the tenures of AIADMK and DMK.

These are just a tip of ice burgs from Chiru's list of blunders. Political analysts predict that Chiru's presence is a bane for Congress candidates rather than a boon. At least now, Chiru should wake up to realities and act according to it. And at the end, it is Congress that is paying its hefty price for Chiru's faux pas.

Rajamouli's Explanation Gives Full Kick!!!

Upon watching the trailers of Superstar Rajnikanth's Vikramasimha, many felt that the graphics work of the movie is inferior. But not until star director Rajamouli explains the hard work behind it. 'Soundarya immortalized God into history for millions of fans in a 3D character', said Rajamouli, setting a perfect stage for his thrilling speech.

'A small fly that occupies a corner of the screen took me two years to complete due to the complexity of graphics and VFX work involved. Imagine that on a full scale, a full screen size and a complete two and half hour movie', stresses Rajamouli, explaining how tough it is to make graphical wonder like Vikramasimha. 'Small renderings that need Photoshop take huge time. Imagine this kind of scale, and imagine how hair, skin, skin texture, costume renders take huge time to complete. But director Soundarya did a fantastic job to deliver them in just two years time. I'm amazed', he avers.

On a concluding note, Rajamouli said, 'Victory is always a relative of sweat and as Soundarya has sweat heavily, definitely Vikramsimha will become a big blockbuster'. You are truly a gem among the gems Rajamouli and your explanation has given full kick about Vikramasimha
