Arundati – The movie

 

Been a while I watched this flick .. but dint wanted to miss the chance to talk about this one.. 

To start off about this movie, a friend works for this production house so there was a lot of hype and enthusiasm to watch this movie and all the gaga going around the city about the movie, I wasn’t hesitant to watch even if it was a second show and at “konark” 

I will not crib about all the drama that happened before we stepped into konark, lets just say we got there in time ..and I missed a few mins of the beginning but my dear friend.. Ravi Kandala (url Chanti Abbaye on www.123telugu.com) was kind enuf to update me with what happened.. 

And then the movie started……I liked the shady graphics which looked a lil spooky I was hoping and preparing myself that I might get a lil scared but then it just got funny over the course of time.. 

So, like all my reviews.. You will see only a performance check not really a story ka review.. so here it goes.. 

Anushka : She was osm in some of the scenes.. but she killed it by overacting at some places..  She confuses me a lot.. Sometimes she looks really good and sometimes she makes me think if she is the same woman who was good 2 min back….I was glad I heard the same comment form someone else who came along…phew !! but overall good performance.. I think she got her role mainly coz of her eyes and they made the best use of it .. if only she could have carried that sensible acting in all scenes…but am sure she is gonna bag the best actress and the nandi awards for this movie.. coz that’s how it works in Tollywood !!! 

Sonu Sood : I loved this guy in “Jodha Akbar” phew he was breathtaking I felt…and this one too .. he looks hot and also on performance level.. woah!!! he was excellent….He made me hate him so much in spite of all my liking for him… I felt he lived his role and was all evil as possible.. I was a lil freaked out figuring out that his nails were longer than mine.. but considering his evil intentions I forgive him for that !!! We have a winner here… hands down.. real good actor. 

Side characters: Were created just to be killed. I dint really feel they were any important rather just to be killed or so that it will be easy for the bad guy to blackmail the good lady. A lot of talented, reputed and experienced actors were wasted for these roles… I say thy would have given a chance to someone new to show/prove their performance… these folks we know are good at what they do.. nothing new for them tho ..A lil disappointed to see this..

Visual effects : The inside news is .. there were around 19 visual graphic experts who spent more than 18 to 20 hours to get a graphic done for one second of the movie. Thats how much effort they put in ? hard to believe after I watched the movie… but I felt graphics weren’t up to the mark.. they could have been much better…. I have seen better graphics in black and white movies !!! gimme a brk !!.. well I have to agree that I liked the shady looks of that palace..but nothing more to it . I got counter arguments that this wasn’t made in so called “Hollywood”  so stop setting high expectations…but hello? least graphics should cheat the naked eye and make u feel like a reality ? isn’t it ? was really bad specially where arundati was a kid and she is talking .. 

Editing : Well, a special note had to be made about editing , or rather dubbing and matching it with the scenes… that comes into the editing part right ? if not am sorry to blame u guys… but there was no lip sync in the first half?? was everyone blind? When the arundati(in her teens) is giving orders or was overacting I must say there is no lip sync at all.. I mean I felt like I was watching one of those tam/mal movies dubbed into telugu .. Please… can we set some standards? Errr I mean high standards.. !!! 

I think thats all I have from the movie… Not a gr8 watch.. I’d say you have to go with less expectations out of the movie.. may be then .. u’d like it !!! 

Coming next is slumdog millionaire.. a lil late than all the other guys out there.. but watever!!!
