JALSA Movie Review by raja


 
                               --



Some sort of introduction my 'Prince', sorry nothing is audible because of the 'FANS' making noise in anticipation of something good, here comes


Sonja(Pawan) going to Prakash Raj asking for his elder daughter (Kamlini), Prakash Raj refuses and she gets married to some dude. We are told after a year

Sanju meets Bhagi (Illeana) and like in Balu some so called comedy scenes with some songs and fights in between drags us to the interval with Sanju

revealing he had naxalite past.


As expected we get into the past of Sanju comes some unconvincing scenes all die in Sanju Family and he goes into the forest to become a naxalite (for

what?) and he meets Prakash Raj (a police officer) and again some so called comedy moments and as usual (most you would have guessed) refuses to get

his second daughter, Bhagi, married to Sanju and employs a bodyguard, Brahamandam, as you can expect some routine comedy scenes follow. In between

to accommodate some fights, there is a bad guy following Sanju and nobody knows why(I am sure the writer also has no clue) and because we have to have a

climax the bad guy sets up his son to get married to Bhagi and more routine scenes follow.


Oh, there is Parvati Melton , don't know what she was doing in the movie.

The music director must be feeling so sad, since his effort has gone waste.

Overall the movie has nothing to think, worry or talk about.

Pawan looked like person searching for something missing.

If you are a die hard fan of Chiru , kandhan, you may like this.

Does, Trivikram, know who is the director of JALSA


Performance:

Pawan kalian is at his stylish best in the film. He also does a good job in the fights as well as comedy scenes. But his characterization is not up to the mark. Ileana for a change is shown in a decent way without any vulgar dresses. She is adequate in her role. Paravthi Melton sizzles in her brief role. Prakash Raj s a tough police officer who is after the naxalites does not come across very convincingly. Mukesh Rushi as the bad guy is okay. Sunil and Brahmnandam's comedy is just average. The music is good but the hit songs are not that well filmed on screen.

The weak story and the shoddy screenplay mar the film. Trivikram falters at more than one place and the film comes across as a mixed bag. Not too great, but also not totally bad either. An average film from Trivikram Srinivas.

Jalsa movie review... by varma


Cinegola rating: ***1/2___Good (3.5 stars)

Tagline: Jalsa - not a movie, its a human sunami

Strengths: Pawan Kalyan, Brahmanandam, Mahesh Babu voice and obviously TrivikramSrinivas

Weaknesses: None at all

Must see scenes:

1. Mahesh Babu dialogues during Pawan entry

2. Interval scene

3. Brahmanandam entry

4. Brahmandam and Pawan comedy bits

Must avoid scenes:

Nothing to mention

My analysis: First half is superb with complete comedy and second half is both serious and comedy. Pawan Kalyan has a hit after five long years. Its nice to see Pawan in a very fresh and refreshing role. The movie is completely a director's movie. Full credit goes to Trivikram Srinivas.

Performances:

Story: Sanjay Sahu (Pawan Kalyan) is a magi naxallite who joins jana jeevana sravanthi and becomes a student. Bhagmathi (Ileana) and Joshna (Parvathi Melton) fall in love with Sanju but he falls for Bhagu. The remaining story is all about how Pawan gets Ileana and all the difficulties in doing so, which should be seen only on silvere screen.

Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Ileana, Parvathi Melton, Kamalini Mukherjee, Brahmanandam, Prakash Raj, Mukesh Rishi, Tanilella Bharani, Sunil, Ali, Uttej, Mahesh Babu (voice) etc.

Banner: Geetha Arts

Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Stunts: Vijay

Art: Anand Sai

Cinematography: Rasool, MS Guhan

Editing: Sreekar Prasad

Producer: Allu Arvind

Story, Screenplay & Direction: Trivikram Srinivas

 

Cheers,

VARMA
