Aithe
(2003)

Ingenious
Chandrasekhar Yeleti represents the new face of Telugu cinema. The creativity in the plot, the way the characters are handled and the outcome. You can never predict the next scene of the film, and in fact by the time the movie is over you are completely taken aback by the genius of the script.

I doubt even the film directors from the north can match Yeleti's brilliance. There is so less focus on the songs and dance part that it can be considered international in terms of the treatment carried to the film.

He probably is the only director who can close to direct a film closer to "Chinatown(1974)". It is the screenplay of such a convoluted script that holds you on till the end.

Congrats to him once again for directing such a wonderful film.

Leader
(2010)

Engrossing Political Drama
A complete shift from his earlier films, Sekhar Kammula has yet again struck the right lines while directing this film.

I had lot of doubt before the movie got released, as to whether Sekhar really had the story and the guts to pull off such a film, but he did with an incredible style. The story though seems inspired from real life incidents is very well written and the dialogues are brilliant. The film slackens a bit in the second half, but the ending is a high adrenaline jump as the old man's scene moves you completely. The background music is inspiring and brings you goose-bumps every time the Leader's title track instrumental comes along.

Rana should be appreciated a lot for staying away from the commercial launch for his first film and even his subtle expressions and underplay deserves a sound applause. Finally a must watch.

Ye Maaya Chesave
(2010)

A beautiful canvas
It's a beautiful movie. Most of the love stories go through the situations pictured in the movie, though the ending in Telugu is predictable. But it doesn't matter as most of the film revolves around the two principled characters describing their journey.

Many of the situations in the movie stand out. The whole sequence of samantha asking chaitanya to take her to a movie and then finally as they return back home, their small dispute is very engrossing.

Even the dialogues are so simple, there is no loud music, bang-bang going on and finally samantha is mesmerizing. She allures you and even her acting for a first timer is brilliant. The scene where she asks chaitanya about why he is so crazy about her is terrific; her expressions, body movement and the way she speaks is superb. Also to be lauded is the person who dubbed the dialogues to samantha.

Kudos to chaitanya also for underplaying so wonderfully and trying to venture into subtle kind of cinema.

Nuvve.. Nuvve...
(2002)

Exceptional piece of work
Surprising to find not a single review, especially when you think that these days net is so accessible and IMDb is one of the most visited websites when it comes to movies, and then consider telugu cinema.

This is a masterclass work, the dialogues, situations, maybe the climax was expected, but the movie was an absolute complete experience in terms of new treatment for the same old love story.

Some situations of the movie are so good, that you just marvel at the presentation of the director. The scenes including where shreya comes to tarun's house to ask him to marry her and tarun's explanation later is picturized beautifully. It is a testimony to the fact that Trivikram has understood women perfectly and the one-liners, they breathe a new life to the film. Every dialogue of the film has some relevance, it is not there just for the heck of it, there is a purpose...Trivikram indeed has brought in a sea of change to the telugu film industry with his writing skills. Kudos to him!

An out n out entertainer...
A perfect 10/10. I wasn't serious of watching until my friend who doesn't even enjoy romantic comedies suggested me this movie. Probably by now I must have watched the movie almost 20 times and still I m not bored with it. Jun Ji Hyun is awesome and carries the film on her shoulders. She looks very pretty. Cha Tae-Hyun as the next door college boy does a fantastic job and puts up excellent facial expressions. The film is beautiful, funny and sad. Ultimately you remember it for Jun Ji Hyun's characterization.In addition the background score is melodious. Even though you don't understand the language you start humming it.

Don't miss this movie it for anything in your life.
