Sammohanam Movie Review

Share

Mohana Krishna Indraganti’s latest offering Sammohanam is a tale of romance between a commoner and a celebrity. The setup is familiar, but Mohana Krishna narrates it in his own style with a dash of humor.

Story:

Vijay (Sudheer) is an upcoming artist who is waiting for a break. He meets an upcoming superstar in films, Sameera (Aditi Rao), who comes to his house for shooting a film. She hires him as her Telugu coach and they quickly get closer. He opens up about his feelings for her, but she rejects. How this unusual love does gets a happy ending forms rest of the story.

Performances:

Sudheer Babu is evolving as an actor and his performance as Vijay is one of his best till date. He showcases every emotion of the character by keeping it subtle all the time. His performance in the rejection scene is clap worthy. Aditi Rao is a natural actress who can emote well. She is too good as a superstar going through personal struggle. Naresh as Sudhir’s father and wannabe actor is the highlight of the film. He has the best moments in the film. He singlehandedly handed the comedy department. Rahul Ramakrishna also is pretty good as Sudhir’s friend. Pavitra Lokesh is good as hero’s mother and Hari Teja also does well as heroine’s assistant.

Technicalities:

Indraganti Mohana Krishna is known for making minimum guarantee films. He keeps on switching genres with each film, but presents any story with a stamp of authority and class. Sammohanam has an unusual premise, but the director keeps it simple with his narrative. He makes sure to have good humor and nice drama to keep the audience invested in it.

Music by Vivek Sagar is one of the finest aspects of Sammohanam. A pleasant soundtrack and lilting background score is a great bonus for the film. Cinematography is decent and editing is fine. Production values are good too. Indraganti’s dialogues are one of the assets to the film.

Thumbs Down:

Slow pace

Predictable story

Analysis:

Romance between a film star and a commoner is not a novel theme. There are a handful of films that have explored this theme successfully. Mohana Krishna Indraganti picks a plot that is very simple, but makes it an engaging one with his storytelling techniques. The male protagonist doesn’t have a nice opinion on films and actors. However, circumstances arise that he falls for a film star. This part is handled really well by the director. He gives the romance a believable beginning as nothing seems artificial despite the difference of stature between the lead characters.

Indraganti makes brilliant use of the film shooting backdrop to create humor. Naresh as wannabe actor is in fine form and he gets the lion share of the comedy part. The introduction of lead pair and their growing acquaintance have been handled well. He takes it forward with simple scenes like going to supermarket and chatting on the terrace. Interval scene is somewhat predictable as the director clearly shows that Sameera is going through some unexplained trouble. All in all, it is a very good first half that sets good expectations on the latter half.

However, second half opens on a dull note with drama taking the forefront and lack of humor. Despite the slow pace, the film never gets boring as it maintains steady pace with some interesting scenes. Sameera’s problem is shown in a hurry, but the conclusion to it is good as director switches back to comedy. Climax part is dealt well to give it a fairly tale ending. Sammohanam is a film that will appeal to class audience and genre lovers. It is a well made film on a whole, but could have been way better had the director taken care of the middle part.

Sammohanam has fine performances, good music, enjoyable comedy and engaging drama. Chemistry between the lead pair also worked out well to make it worth watching. It is not a film for B and C centers audience. It has enough to put up a solid show in overseas and in A centers though. It is yet another decent entertainer from the bankable director Indraganti.

Verdict: Pleasant romance!

Mega Alludu vs Mega Menalludu

Once again heroes of Mega family are going to clash at the box office. The release dates of ‘Tej I Love U’ and ‘Vijetha’ are confirmed on July 6th.

Supreme hero Sai Dharam Tej is going through a lean phase and has pinned high hopes on ‘Tej I Love U’ which is a romantic entertainer.

On the other hand, ‘Vijetha’ marks the debut of Megastar’s son-in-law, Kalyaan Dhev. He has grabbed the attention with the teaser which was well received by the audience. The film’s plot which is a father-son sentiment might work in its favour.

Earlier Megastar has intervened in similar cases and sorted the things out. Will Chiru step in for one more time, we will get to know in coming days.

Tamanna Showing Stars To Akkineni And Co?

Share

To keep her career spiced up all the time, milky beauty Tamanna took some bold decisions like acting in item songs when she’s turning little slow on grabbing heroine chances. And then, she is continuing to accept all kinds of roles, at a time when other competitors of her are sticking to certain templates.

While being part of films like “Queen” and “Naa Nuvve”, suddenly the shooting of Queen remake got halted and Tamanna agreed to do some item songs in that gap. One of them is Akkineni Naga Chaitanya’s Savyasachi, where she’s supposed to don a hot look for a sizzling item number. And the team is clueless as to when this hot siren will join the sets as she showing stars to give a time.

Initially, Tamanna wants to allot dates immediately, but at that time Savyasachi team has fixed their USA schedule. Later, when the team is back in Hyderabad, unexpectedly Tamanna’s Queen remake which is titled ‘That Is Mahalakshmi’ is back to sets with a new director aboard. As Tamanna is wrapping shooting of that film jet speed, she’s unable to allot dates to Savyascahi team, say sources.

With the Akkineni hero and his Co., feeling that they are pushing the release date much back with these delays, they are on the lookout for another star heroine who would come in their budget and allot dates immediately. Or we have to see if Tamanna will give dates in the coming days.

Ever since Jr NTR graced the audio launch of Bharat Anu Nenu, calling Mahesh as Anna, the total dynamics of star heroes supporting other films has changed big time. And Mahesh is extending that beyond his family now if reports are to be believed.

With Allari Naresh playing a crucial role in #Mahesh25, it looks like both the heroes have struck a chord and moving quite well. And that made Naresh a dear friend of Mahesh now, say, insiders. With that familiarity, now Naresh is said to have asked the Superstar to do him a favour for his upcoming films.

As per reports, Mahesh is most likely to attend the pre-release event of audio launch function of Naresh’s upcoming film “Silly Fellows”, which also has Sunil playing another lead. Directed by Bheemineni, the film’s first look is released recently. And to bring more hype, Naresh is expecting a help from Mahesh, says trade sources.

It Is Dangerous To Appear Without Makeup In Big Boss

Share

Often some celebs who end up in Big Boss has to wander inside the house without wearing makeup. Right now we are seeing how Tejaswi Madivada and anchor Syamala looks without makeup. While their natural look might shock someone, some admire it too.

Apparently, another leading anchor who is known for her terrific glamour appearances has rejected to take part in Big Boss 2 for this makeup issue, a source revealed. She happens to be on top form at the moment and the show organisers offered her nearly 1 lakh a day to take part in the show. But the glamorous beauty called it NO.

Because of the fact that she looks completely shaded and pimpled without makeup, the anchor felt that her career will be in jeopardy after exiting from the show. She’s said to have told a couple of present participants as well, “It is dangerous to appear without makeup there. How will you manage later?”.

But all the participants are currently not as busy as this star anchor is, that is the reason they dared enough to join the house. But who knows, this daring act will make the busy outside very soon.

Is Chiru Getting Tired?

Share

There is no doubt about megastar’s status and the amount of fan following he has irrespective of all the mega heroes in mega compound.

Naturally, all this is a major booster in giving him a push to act in a mega venture like Sye Raa. However, there is a little rumour doing rounds in Film Nagar. Well, according to it, megastar has been rather tired shooting for Sye Raa.

It is known that the temperatures have been really high for the past two months. To add to that, heavy make-up and the camera lights — all these did take a toll on megastar say unit members.

Though the weather has turned pleasant in the last couple of weeks, he is invariably tired, confide those in Film Nagar.

Though megastar does regular exercise and yoga, he is said to be taking regular breaks between scenes. Those on the sets say he is unable to shoot at a stretch, during which time, the unit is shooting other scenes.

Also, during the audio release function of Sai Dharam Tej, Chiranjeevi’s face looked a little swollen. Now one could not make out if it was part of his look for Sye Raa or if it has swollen for other reasons.

Whatever be the reason, it is time megastar took it easy and does a film in a year or two.

But the latest talk is that Chiranjeevi wants to complete Sye Raa by December and then move to Koratala Siva’s film immediately.

5 Bollywood Stars Sued For ‘Million Dollar Breach’ In US

WASHINGTON: Superstar Salman Khan and a host of other Bollywood artists including Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh and Prabhu Deva have been sued by an Indian-American promoter, which alleged that they refused to perform at a concert in the US despite having taken money from it.

The Vibrant Media Group in its lawsuit against the Bollywood artists and their agents Matrix India Entertainment Consultants Private Limited and Yashraj Films Private Limited alleged “breach of contract”.

According to the complaint, in 2013 the Vibrant Media Group had hired the artists to appear live and perform at the concert ‘Celebrating 100 years of Indian Cinema’, which was to be held on September 1, 2013.

The show had to be cancelled as Salman Khan was unable to leave India due to legal troubles in Rajasthan. The Vibrant Media Group had agreed to postpone the event, the lawsuit said.

The Vibrant Media Group, according to the lawsuit, recently learned that Salman Khan and the other artists, instead of keeping their promise or even offer to return the deposits they had received for the performance. The lawsuit also mentions that the stars had agreed to perform with another promoter.

“All calls to Mr Khan, his agents, and other artists, for the return of the funds have gone unanswered,” the group said as it sought damages of at least USD 1 million.

According to the complaint, Vibrant Media paid more than USD 200,000 to Salman Khan in advance of the concert to be held at the Sears Centre in Chicago on September 1.

Katrina Kaif was paid USD 40,000 and Sonakshi Sinha USD 36,000. None of these funds have been returned, it alleged.

The lawsuit, filed by Chicago-based Vibrant Media Group before a Northern District Court of Illinois, Eastern Division on June 10, has been assigned to District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman.

Others sued by the promoter include superstar Akshay Kumar besides singers Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Usha Mangeshkar. (PTI)

Akhil’s Heroine Joins Mega Hero’s ‘Bar And Restaurant’

Share

Despite debuting with a hyped film like “Hello”, newcomer heroine Kalyani Priyadarshan hasn’t got enough attention among audiences. But her gorgeous looks made her a sought-after actress in film circles.

In her next, Kalyani will be seen romancing Sharwanand under the direction of Sudheer Varma. But this film has another starlet Kajal also in the lead, so the youngster might not get desired attention. And then, she said okay to another film where she will be sharing space with another aspiring heroine.

Mega hero Sai Dharam Tej’s “Chitralahari, Bar and Restaurant” is all set to take off with writer-director Kishore Tirumala ready with a bounded script. And the film has two heroines, one happens to be boxing beauty Ritika Singh who was seen in Guru earlier. And the other one is none other than Kalyani Priyadarshan. We hear that after looking at her footage from Sharwa’s movie, Mega Menalludu has decided to get her onboard.

Hope Kalyan will make it big with these two films and find herself in a big space as a leading lady.
