Behind the Screens:

Hero Sunil is in bad phase as he had Back to Back disaster films in his kitty and film by film his market is getting eroded. He had full hopes on his latest Release, Ungarala Rambabu to get back to winning stream. Let us see how the movie was??

Storyline:

Rambabu (Sunil) is born in a very rich family but all his 200 Crore assets disappear after his grand father’s sudden demise. He seeks the help of Badam Baba (Posani Krishna Murali) who says a plan to regain his lost treasure and it works. Rambabu cultivates a belief in astrology and what problems it brings forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

There is no change in Sunil's acting and body language in recent films whatever the story is. He impressed in dances once again. Miya George is limited to few dialogues and songs. Prakash Raj looked pale due to poor characterization in the film. Posani as Badam Baba and his disciples – Venu, Ashish Vidyarthi and Vennela Kishore managed a few laughs here and there. Other are okay in their roles.

Analysis:

Director kranthi madhav gave some meaningful stories in the past but he looked totally out of touch this time. He has come up with a story which does not have Sunil mark comedy. Superstitious Rambabu, Badam Baba and Communist Rana Nayar (Prakash Raj) have the scope for a good story but the director failed improvise their characters. There is an influence of many stories on the film. He should have worked more on the story and screenplay. 

Technical Values:

Songs composed by Ghibran are just about okay. Sarvesh Murari’s cinematography is decent. Editor had chance to trim many cuts in the film and he totally disappointed. Production Values are okay.

Thumbs up:

- Sunil

Thumbs down:

- Editing

- Poor characterisations 

- Story

- Screenplay

- Direction

Final Verdict:

Ungarala rambabu film is a bore-fest. 

Sensible directors like Kranthi Madhav should stick to their strengths, if not the result generally would be crap-commercial like this film. 

Strictly skip this film.

Bootom line: Bo’Ring’ Rambabu

Behind the screens:
Young hero Sharwanand who is known for decent emotional entertainers is now coming to entertain with family entertainer Shatamanam Bhavati under Sri Venkateswara creations banner. Sharwanand is getting ready to repeat the magic he created last year by taking on top stars during pongal festival. Let us see what impact he created with on movie lovers.

story:

Old couple are in a sad feeling that their sons and daughter who lives in abroad doesn’t visit them as they want to see them. Raghavaraju garu makes a plan to make them visit and makes it work. This plan makes his wife feel bad on knowing. There arises some problems within the family to create some disturbances added to the problem of his wife. How they solved the problems? What is the plan that Raghavaraju Garu made? What are the problems that crops up in the family? If you want to know answers for all these question you have to the movie in theatres .

Performances:
Sharwanand slipped into the role quite effortlessly. His dialogue delivery is attractive. Anupama Parameswaran impresses with her lovely looks and mesmerising expressions in her eyes. Prakash Raj attracts with his dialogue delivery, screen presence in a tailor made role. Prakash Raj and Jayasudha performances elevated the movie to new level highlighting the importance of love, affection, family bonding and family values. Naresh is perfect fit to his role. Others played their roles accordingly.

Analysis:
Director Satish Vegesna came with decent family emotional entertainer with routine scenes, dialogues, rich tradition, family values and emotions. Story is predictable but he erased all these monotony with his narration.

Technical values:
Music of Mickey J Meyer is attractive.  Songs shot in picturesque locations. Background score is good. Sameer Reddy beautified the film with his cinematography showing the beautiful locations of Godavari district. Editing of Madhu is okay but he could have chance to trim few cuts in both half's. Dialogues are good and more focussed on importance of family values. Production values of Sri Venkateswara creations are good.

Final verdict:
Shatamanam Bhavati movie is a family emotional entertainer with mix of family values, bonding and their importance in today’s fast paced life. This movie is a soulful journey with heart touching emotions and sentiments.
First half goes with good entertainment, emotions and dialogues between grand son, parents and grand parents. Second half slows down here and there. Director Satish made good impact with touching and thought provoking climax scenes. Overall the film is an out and out clean family emotional entertainer which connects all categories of people.


Bottom line: Bhandalaku anubhandalaku sasthamanam Bharath
