Ready Movie Review Posted July 25, 2008Cast: Ram, Genelia, Brahmanandam, Sunil, Jayaprakash Reddy, Supreet, Shafi, Bharat, Kota, Nassar, Chandra Mohan, Tanikella Bharani, Srinivasa Reddy, Ravi Varma, Sudha, Vidya, Surekha, Apoorva, Tamanna (SA) & Navadeep (SA) Release date: 19 June 2008 | | | | Review | Story
Chandu (Ram), an engineering student, falls in love with Pooja (Genelia), an NRI who comes to visit her uncles in Rayalaseema. A mistaken identity makes Chandu kidnap Pooja who is about to get married. The rest of the story is all about how Chandu sends Pooja back to her place and how he marries her by convincing elders. Artists Performance Actors: Ram looked fine in his role and he seamlessly executed the same. His dance in the first song is very good. The scenes in the second half where Ram makes Brahmanandam a bakra are entertaining. Genelia is an asset to the film and the dubbing of Savita Reddy goes well with her. Brahmanandam as McDowell Murthy steals the show yet again with his hilarious comedy in the second half. He is like the second hero of the film. After Dhee and Krishna, this is the third film where he had the crowds in splits. Sunil did the role of a 'theda candidate'. His bharatanatyam (spoof of Sagara Sangamam) and the way he slaps himself is good (typical Seenu Vytla brand). The third impressive characterization comes from the kid who acts as JP's grandson. Jayaprakash Reddy and Kota are good. Nassar and Sudha in parental roles are adequate. The way Surekha scolding her son to vent frustration on JP is humorous. Tamanna and Navadeep did guest appearances Analysis: First half of the film is mediocre. The second half is good with hilarious comedy by Brahmanandam. On the flipside, a better editing of first half and some of the fights would do something good to the film. This film is stuffed with ample commercial elements, mainly the vibrant comedy. Ready has potential chances to bring a hat-trick for Seenu Vytla after Dhee and Dubai Seenu. This film is worth a watch for the comedy. |

Kathanayakudu Music Launched Posted April 24, 2008
Music of superstar Rajnikanth's bilingual film Kathanayakudu (Telugu) and Kuselan (Tamil) was simultaneously released at an impressive function held at Le Meridian Hotel in Chennai on Monday late in the evening. Produced by Ashwini Dutt in Telugu, it is directed by Chandramukhi sensation P. Vasu (both versions). AR Rehman was the chief guest at the colorful gala. His newphew G. V. Prakash scored music for this bilingual project.
Jagapati Babu, Sunil, Ali, Ashwini Dutt were among the prominent who made their presence at the music launch. P. Vasu prompted the music release in style, with each of the guests and the invitees totaling to a swirling 3000 and odd to get the album and presenting it to the best of their friends.
Rajnikanth said that the film got encouraging reports everywhere right from its launch and this brought some anxious moments for him. He said that the film would bring the best results to one and all. He termed the young composer GV Prakash as a mix of Rehman and Maestro Ilayaraja. On this occasion, Rajni thanked AR Rehman for gracing the occasion.
Director P. Vasu said that Rajnikanth is one and the only life example of true friendship. Rajni's mentor K. Balachander spoke at length about his tie with Rajni, comparing it with that of the "guru-sishyan" relationship between Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda. Jagapati Babu, who played the friend to Rajni in the film, said he couldn't believe his prospects co-starring the superstar, which still "looks like a dream to me."
