Telugu Cinema News, Reviews & Gossips: chirajeevi road show

Ram Charan Tej latest movie Magadheera which was to release in April is postponed until after general elections in May. Producer Allu Arvind who is producing Magadheera movie felt that it is better to postpone the movie because the concentration of entire Andhra Pradesh is on state politics and not on any other thing. In order to get the required returns and also create an effect on box-office, Allu Arvind felt better to postpone the movie till the completion of elections.

Magadheera has Mega power star Ram Charan Tej and Kajal Agarwal in the lead roles. SS Rajamouli is directing the film and Allu Arvind is producing it on Geetha Arts banner. Mani Sharma is composing the music.

Expectedly Dasari Narayana Rao’s Mesthri is creating controversy for satires on megastar Chiranjeevi. The movie was released today (Thursday, March 12, 2009) and the response is lukewarm. But megastar’s fans are boiling over the satirical dialogues aimed at megastar Chiranjeevi, his character and his newly floated party.

Almost entire second half is focused on Chiranjeevi in the movie. He has created a character called GK (played by Vijay Kumar) who aspires to become CM after doing charity work like Bhoodhanam for years. GK says he has not stepped into politics, he was invited by his fans.

When GK (read as Chiru) says that he drank ganji, a character retorts - “Now you have so many Benz’s.”

When GK says he has support of his caste, Dasari asks him, “What did you do for your community?”.

GK says that if he arranges a meeting, lakhs of people would attend. A retort goes: “If sex bomb Shakeela does, even more would attend.”

There are also references of selling party tickets for Crores, fans dying at Road Shows, satires on the style of putting posters of great men in party office, etc. All are indirect references to Chiru.

Although, there are many satires, the movie is not that impressive. With its cheap production values, incoherent script, confused screenplay, the movie hardly sustains the viewer’s interest. It is a big letdown as content-wise
