Young Hero, Ex Heroine’s Late Night Parties!
Although there have been strong rumours about this young hero and the former heroine from longtime, those rumours were subdued for maintaining low-key profile. However, their collaboration for a film and their public display of affection in public places have yet again brought these rumours alive.
It’s buzzed that the young hero and the former heroine have acted in a successful film and both are hanging out at a posh pub in Jubilee Hills. It’s buzzed that both are having late-night meetings and are celebrating a lot about their recent success.
While many in industry are curious how this bond has sprouted, it is rumoured that it all began when the actor-filmmaker tried to direct a story to a hero of her family and that’s when she and he got in touch with, exchanged their feelings and have been continuing the journey. This romantic story of the duo is certainly a filmy story and looks like straight out of a Tollywood script.
Vishwaroopam 2 : Movie Review
Vishwaroopam 2 is a part sequel and part prequel to well made action thriller Vishwaroopam. The film was supposed to release a few months after the first part was released, but it took many years to see the light due to financial troubles. Is Vishwaroopam 2 worth the wait?
Story :
The story starts as a continuation to the first part. Al-Qaeda terrorist Omar (Rahul Bose) is after Indian spy Wisam (Kamal) to exact revenge from him. Also they plot a terror attack on Delhi and London cities. How Wasim and his friends deal with this is the main crux of the story.
Performances:
Kamal Haasan is good in conversational scenes and in the romantic scenes with Pooja Kumar. But he looked wearied out in the action sequences. Age has slowed him down and that reflected in the key action scenes. Pooja Kumar is all coy and Andrea is stylish and suits her part. Rahul Bose is alright as the terrorist.
Technicalities:
Kamal Haasan was in command as director in the first part, but here his direction suffers due to the lack of proper script. It almost looks like an attempt to cash in on the success of the original. There are a few scenes where he shines as a writer, but on a whole he fails as a director and script writer.
Background score is good and the cinematography in the battle scenes is very impressive. Editing is not up to the mark as it confuses the viewers with bizarre cuts. Production values are good. The film is made on a high budget and maintains good standards in the action episodes.
Thumbs Up:
Kamal’s act in few scenes
Wry humor
Thumbs Down:
Incoherent script
Pointless direction
Weak second half
Analysis:
Kamal Haasan might have thought to make Vishwaroopam a franchise, which is a fine idea. Vishwaroopam is one of the finest spy thrillers made in Indian cinema. However, it is not easy to make a true sequel to a successful film. Kamal Haasan clearly struggled as a writer as he was left clueless of where to take this one. He made a dangerous exercise of telling both the past and future scenarios of the original plot. Complex and non linear screenplay made it very confusing as the story oscillates from past to present all the time.
First half is passable though with interesting conversations between the characters. Kamal’s satire on our Governance is thoroughly enjoyable. Also the chemistry between Kamal, Andrea and Pooja Kumar offers comic relief here and there. Scenes like detecting the bugs in the hotel room and finding the mole in the department are okay to watch. The underwater sequence in London which failed to thrill brings the film to the intermission point.
Second half suddenly turns emotional with the introduction of the protagonist’s mother character. Film directly enters the climax zone after a couple of emotional scenes. One would expect a thrilling climax for such a grand setup, but the gravity defying action sequence towards the end looks like a joke. Kamal lacked the agility and swiftness that is needed to make such scenes work. Graphic violence in the second half doesn’t add any value to the proceedings.
Audience who liked Vishwaroopam will be thoroughly disappointed with this pointless sequel. Even Kamal couldn’t shine in this bizarre film that ends up in a mess. With Goodachari still in theaters action lovers has a far better option than Vishwaroopam 2 to get their thrills.
Verdict: Messy Sequel!
Modi’s New Friend in Telugu State
Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have got a new friend…err…’political friend’ in one of the Telugu states. It’s none other than KCR. TRS voting for NDA’s candidate Harivansh in the crucial Deputy Chairman election in Rajya Sabha and playing significant role in his victory has proved the bond between TRS and BJP.
KCR and KTR’s series of meetings with Modi and Modi’s praises on KCR in Lok Sabha during the No-Confidence Motion have already indicated growing friendship between TRS and BJP. However, TRS MPs voting for NDA candidate has now proved the speculations.
As BJP needs new friends after Naidu’s exit and since KCR is enemy of Congress, naturally, TRS became a dear friend to Modi. It is now buzzed that KCR would also have a backroom understanding in the general elections 2019 and may have a post-poll alliance with the Lotus party and will have a pre-poll tie-up with MIM. This is tricky but KCR is confident of pulling it off with ease.
Now, Congress has to look out for its weapons to take on TRS-BJP combine in Telangana.
