BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP is a masala film all the way. In BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP the 69-year-old Bachchan will be seen in the role of a defiant, flamboyant hit-man in his inimitable style. With BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP, the angry young man of the 1970s and 1980s resurfaces to relive various roles that he enacted in those memorable films.

 

Story: Viju (Amitabh Bacchan) is an ex-gangster of Mumbai, who after getting married with Hema Malini and begetting a son, parts ways with them and settles down in Paris running a pub. In his sixties, he comes back to Mumbai but doesn't go back to his wife and son. Meanwhile, his son Karan (Sonu Sood) is working as ACP in Mumbai. Karan clashes with the local mafia and vows to wipe them off within two months. He gets hold of a couple of leads which can take him to the mafia Don Kabir (Prakash Raj). A perturbed Don gives 'supari' (the task of killing ACP Karan) to Viju. Rest of the story unfolds how Viju saved his son from the Don and also wiped out the mafia.

Analysis: BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP is an out and out Amitabh Bacchan movie. The Hindi film industry was referred to as a one-man industry in 1970s and 80s. The Bachchan mania was invincible and indestructible. This movie proves that once again. This film relies entirely on the persona and charisma of this iconic actor of Indian cinema. And certainly the credit goes to director Puri Jagannadh for making this movie with that iconic actor. In fact Puri himself is a big fan of Amitabh Bacchan and knows pretty well how fans like to see him on the screen. Puri Jagannadh succeeded in showing their matinee-idol exactly like they wish to see him.

Acting: Amitabh Bachchan is truly the 'Baap' when it comes to performing this kind of roles and BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP reiterates this fact yet again. His character, his attitude and the dialogue he delivers will remain etched in memory for a long, long time to come. Besides his acting potential, Bacchan is known for portraying larger than life roles, witty and well delivered dialogue. Puri gave him the perfect lines that a superstar like Amitabh Bacchan requires. Dialogues, especially when he's confronting the baddies in the movie, will draw whistles and claps from all sections of the audience. The chemistry between the Amitabh-Hema is refreshing. Raveena's role is poorly defined and for that reason she failed in making any impact. Sonu Sood is first-rate, confident at every step. Not once do you feel that he's overawed by Bachchan's towering presence. Sonal Chauhan looks pretty and also performed well. Charmi is likeable and contributes to the funny moments. Prakash Raj is super. In fact, it's a treat to watch powerful actors like Bachchan and Prakash Raj embroiled in a confrontation. Makrand Deshpande is wonderful. Shahwar Ali is okay. Others too did justice to their respective roles.

Music: Sekhar Rao Jiani did a super job while composing the medley of Bachchan hits, 'Go Meera Go, the soft and soothing 'Haal-e-Dil' and the title song 'Bbuddah hoga terra baap', which comes at the very start of the film. Background score also is very apt and keeps the mood refreshing.

Dialogues: Puri Jagannadh provided dialogues in BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAPare catchy and are the highlights in the movie. "He main marunaga to goli se.... Bee pee aur sugar se nahin", like dialogues will certainly enthrall the hard core fans of the icon.

Lyrics: All the songs are well composed and rendered, while lyrics are understandable and are in contemporary Hindi.

Cinematography: Amol Rathod's cinematography is good in songs as well as in fight scenes.

Art: Very Good.

Editing: Editing of BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP is exceptionally good. Not a single frame or shot has been wasted. It's absolutely clean, crisp and neat.

Choreography: Pleasant and apt for the movie.

Action: Fight Master Vijay has certainly made his mark in Bollywood with this movie. Fight scenes have been well composed and are thrilling.

BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP is a masala film all the way. It is full of entertainment. It's a must watch movie for all the hardcore fans of Amitabh Bacchan.

Is there any B Company in Tollywood?

At this point of time, no one can deny the involvement of B (Bhanu) Company in Tollywood, like D (Dawood) company in Bollywood. The activities that came into limelight after Maddelacheruvu Suri's death has unveiled the growing darker side of Telugu cinema industry. Freshly, top financier Singanamala Ramesh Babu was arrested in Chennai in connections with gangster Maddelacheruvu Suri's murder, as Suri was staying in Singanamala Ramesh's flat when he was brutally killed. Singanamala Ramesh is already quizzed by the state CID officials and are probing the case towards his links with Bhanu Kiran, the prime suspect of gangster Maddelacheruvu Suri murder. So going by all these, is there a B company in Tollywood?

One of the top producers, on the condition of anonymity said that C Kalyan and Singanala Ramesh have funded high budget Telugu and Tamil movies. They have been backed by gangsters in this connection. And that's not all, Kalyan and Singanala Ramesh even used criminal links to illegally encroach lands by threatening the original owners to expand their business.

There's also a strong version that Maddelacheruvu Suri funded Rakta Charitra, Komaram Puli, Kaleja and few other Telugu movies. Confessing the same, Telugu Film Producers' Council General Secretary T Prasanna Kumar said that Singanamala Ramesh and C Kalyan are amongst few producers having strong links to gangsters. The police are trying to find out the nexus between these financiers, Bhanu Kiran, Maddelacheruvu Suri and their involvement in funding the above mentioned movies.

Out of the approximately produced 300 Telugu movies every year, almost 10% of the movies come from top producers and the interesting question here being “is dirty money” being used in producing these movies? So will Singanamala Ramesh spill the beans? If so, we wonder how many big names from Tollywood are likely to come out!

180 Movie Review

180 Review:180 Movie Review: 180 Telugu Movie Review: After a series of flops, Siddharth is desperate to prove that his 180 review is positive. Siddharth wants to strike back with good 180 movie review and set things alive in Tollywood. To find out how far Siddharth was successful, we need to get into 180 Telugu movie review.

180 Movie Story

Siddharth performs the last rites of his kin in Varanasi, where he sees a small boy also performing his father's last rites and then happily playing with his toy car. Siddharth then realizes the philosophy of life, which is not worrying about death but enjoying every day to the fullest. Cut to Siddharth, he is leading a very happy life in Chennai. A press reporter (Nithya Menon) will be fascinated by Siddharth and slowly turns that relationship into love and proposes him. But Siddharth negates her and tries to run away. In this process, Nithya Menon meets with an accident and this forces Siddharth to take her to US for treatment.

Cut to flashback, Siddharth is a doctor in US and has a deeply loving wife Priya Anand. 3 months after their marriage, Siddharth is diagnosed with a disease where he has just only 180 days (6 months) to live. Siddharth then makes Priya Anand believe that he has committed suicide and he never plans to go back to US but destiny brought him back. What will Siddharth do then? What happens to Priya Anand and Nithya Menon? And how does Siddharth follow the life philosophy taught by the Varanasi boy forms the rest of the story.

Analysis

Ad filmmaker turned director Jayendra could not weave a convincing anecdote and as a result Siddharth 180 movie review has fumbled at the box office. Jayendra did not inject  the enigmatic spirit, under-current vulnerabilities and break-the-shackles attitude type of characters and  left the audience wooing at the script. Teenyboppers will not find any elopement episodes, which is already visible in the trailers but the director could not convince the audience with the acts of the lead protagonist.

180 movie story deviates on certain attributes like absence true relationships and conflicts in real life. Siddharth once again shoulders the entire responsibility of the film. His character is etched with confusing emotions, coupled with very slow narration makes life difficult for the audience. Siddharth looks chivalrous in the opening, jovial in the middle, serious lover after that and a true lover in the end. However, in this process, the entire concept of death 'sentiment' has been overlooked. Its understandable that the movie's is communicating a message (through Siddhartha's death) that life is all about enjoying everyday to the fullest but that doesn’t mean that you take death too lightly where Siddharth emotes all kinds of expressions.

TeluguOne Perspective

Dealing with a script that has a direct relation with the death is very challenging, particularly when the audience know that the lead protagonist will die. There was heavy dosage of emotions but they were not connecting because of the 'not so credible' dialogues. But what's good to see is the story narration traversing between two eras of Siddharth's flashback episode and current life but it might confuse the audience. And all this might leave the masses in the backseat with higher inhibitions of the movie running in B and C centers.

The framework of director Jayendra is very good and he gave ample scope for all the characters but we have to say he failed to narrate in a gripping fashion. The first half of the movie looks humors with some peppy conversations between Ajay and Vidya. In the second half, Jayendra comes with an typical US lifestyle of Indians and also brings out a romantic angle between Ajay and Priya Anand. And eventually, the climax might be the best one to initiate debate on.

Performances

Siddharth once again comes with a good performance. His conversations with Nithya Menon and others during the first half is very humorous but once again he did the same mistake like he did for Oye movie – selected an unconvincing death sentiment script.

Nithya Meon has put on some weight but she looks ok as a press reporter her expressions during emotional sequences are very good. Priya Anand has shown lot of maturity and she has hog the limelight and at times even emulated Siddharth

Plus Points

• Visually appealing
• Camera work

Drawbacks

• Slow Narration
• Lack of griping screenplay
• Not convincing the death philosophy

Technicalities
On the technical aspects, Bala Subramaniem's cinematography is brilliant. The shots captured using the RedOne camera stupendous. Music director Shareeth has done a reasonably good job, in fact couple of songs are very good.

Final Word on 180 movie review
180 movie review is not bright and promising. Although Siddharth's performance is pretty commendable, the slow narration and unconvincing screenplay might hamper the movie's tenure at the box office, particularly at B and C centers
