HERE COMES THE KING....GABBAR SINGH.....BUT ...


              A LOCAL THEATRE CELBRATES GABBAR SINGH 

In one of the most entertaining scenes of the movie GABBAR SINGH a road side ruffian imitates pawan kalyan's mannerisms before the protagonist. The entire theatre went into splits. Its these kind of scenes which come in between the movie makes you laugh.  These cleverly inserted comic scoops, skits and one liners are the main strength of this movie.

Though slated to be  a remake of Dabaang, Gabbar Singh differs from the original on many counts. While the original itself carries on the strengths of protagonist's pranks, Gabbar singh completely throws the  story into dustbin and completely relies on the whims and fancies  of the protagonist. As all critics pointed out it was pawan kalyan all the way.

His mark dialogues, his fancy dances and the so called power in his presentation definitely elevated the movie at certain points. The music is  a huge asset. to the movie. And the photography adds to the bright prospects   of the movie. The dialogue written by the director himself is clever and very much planned to elevate the star power. 

My student Teja ghatty confirmed its a huge hit. Lot of my students are very jubilant after the hit talk. In fact there is a lot of  happiness on every one's face to see their hero score a super hit after a long hiatus. Even i felt happy. One hero who made the telugu cinema evolve a fresh look is pawn kalyan. After siva it is toliprema that defined telugu cinemas yet another dimension .Its great to see a hero whose popularity soar after every flop.

And the joy factor ends there. 

The movie is a hit and i wondered where we are heading. When movie makers in other states are coming with path breaking movies we are still making movies with superficial themes and idiotic presentations. If the objective of the movie is to define a hero and his own brand then why waste time. Its better for  each hero to  advertise them selves before TV soaps like advertisements that pop up every second. WHAT AN IDEA SIR JI! Yes we will be saved from 2.5 hour rubbishes like dammu, rachha and now (sorry folks ) ..Gabbar Singh...

Day before yesterday my son and daughter watched sankarbharanam with awe. They watched lava kusa  with a lot of interest. In fact they drew comparisons between ram rajyam and lava kusa. They simply watched Gabbar Singh in a regular manner. Nothing was carried home. Nothing there to rejoice by remembering. Nothing there to feel to watch it for another time. 

Ranbir kapoor is a self made destruction in Rockstar whom the entire country adored. Dhanush is a faulty lover in Mayakkam Enna whom the entire tamil audience loved. Lot of good things are happening in bengali and malayalam cinema. Kannada cinema is trying a new line. Marathi cinema is knocking the door of world cinema with movies like Shwaas and Harishchandrachi Factory . Except for a rare prasthanam and gamyam what we can boast for? Even BAND BAJAA BARAAT was made in a appealing way. 

Tell me one telugu movie which made you feel these days where you identified your self with the protagonist. Good movies are losing to the hero (KHALEJA). Good movies are losing to market based mechanisms(vedam). Good movies are not publicised(devasthanam) Good movies fail to deliver because of fans(panjaa).

Dear pawan kalyan

this is a half baked review. Never knew how to write praising a badly made movie  with well characterised hero.  
I still remember a young man escorting his lady love who was unaware of his feelings to the airport. The innocence made every eye filled with tears that day. Today the same young man dons police uniform and makes goons to play an"Antaakshari" before him. Chances of remembering  this police man after one month are very remote.
