Kasko Review - 2/5
Rating: 2/5
Starring : Vaibhav, Swetha Basu Prasad, Gowri Pandit and others..
Director : G Nageswara Reddy
Music Director : Premji Amaran
Producer : A Bharati
Vaibhav and Swetha Basu Prasad’s new film ‘Kasko’ is a quintessential example of what can go wrong with a high voltage action entertainer. This is Vaibhav’s second film in Telugu after his debut in ‘Godava’. Directed by G.Nageswara Reddy, the film has been produced by A Bharati under the banner of ‘K Films’. Kodandarami Reddy presented the film. The basic concept of ‘Kasko’ was touted as an inspiration from Ramayana. ‘Kasko’ narrates the story of Vamshi who comes to Hyderabad with a mission.
What is it about : Vaibhav stars as Vamshi, a hot blooded young guy from Vizag who goes to Hyderabad on a mission. He meets Mahesh Babu (Brahmanandam) and Deepika (Gowri Pandit) in this journey. Vamshi introduces himself as Pawan Kalyan to Mahesh and the two decide to wipe out goondaism in Hyderabad. Deepika always end up embarrassing herself while fighting with Vamshi on several occasions but it doesn’t take too long for her to realize that she’s in love with Vamshi. On the other hand, Vamshi starts teach all the goondas a lesson and when the situation goes out of hand, Salim and Aladdin (Salim Panda) enter the scene. They are shocked to find Vamshiin Hyderabad and as they try to kill Vamshi they realize that he’s searching for Krishnaveni (Swetha Basu). Who is Krishnaveni? What happened to her? What made Vamshi landin Hyderabad? This forms the rest of the story.
What is Good: ‘Kasko’ is an important film for Vaibhav to cement his place in Telugu film industry. His first film established him as the next generation hero who’s good in fights and dances. In ‘Kasko’ he goes one step further as far as action sequences are concerned. There are more action sequences than the actualstory in ‘Kasko’. All the action sequences are brilliantly choreographed although some of them are a bit too long and violent. Vaibhav proves his mettle in the intense action sequences and dances. Brahmanandam makes his presence felt once again and his flashback is hilarious. JayprakashReddy’s role as one of the goondas is adequate.
What is bad: G.Nageswara Reddy also wrote the story and screenplay of the film apart from directing it. ‘Kasko’ is a typical revenge drama which an extremely predictable storyline. In fact the actual story is so less that it comes as filler between extended action sequences, especially in the first half. Gowri Pandit’s role is poorly written. Except for a song and couple of scenes, she hardly contributes tothe film. Shweta Basu Prasad is extremely loud with her dialogues and is nothing more than a glam doll in the film. There are way too many villains in the film which gives scope to more fights and action sequences. Pradeep Rawat’s role towards the end of the film is ridiculous. Apart from extending the film by an extra 20 minutes, his characterization completely fails to arouse interest.
Technical Departments: Premji’s music is average except for a couple of songs. Cinematography by Agilan is impressive especially in action sequences and songs. Editing by Praveen is adequate. Action choreography throughoutthe film is good. G.Nageshwara Reddy’s could have worked on the screenplay and story of the film. The direction is good in parts, although it could have been much better.
Bottom Line: There’s a dialogue in the film where Vaibhav asks Brahmanandam, ‘Oka Mostaru Kottamantara..Bheebatsanga kottamantara’. If only, Nageshwara Reddy had applied the same concept while writing the story, ‘Kasko’ would have been an interesting film. In another hilarious scene, Vaibhav calls Shweta Basu as ‘Banda Jyothi’ and it is left to our imagination to decide whether it was intentional or not. ‘Kasko’ starts with a bang and ends up as a ‘Bheebathsamaina’ head ache which is cliched, predictable and probably pointless drama too. Thumbs down for ‘Kasko', the only saving grace ofthe film is Brahmanandam’s comedy and the title of the film itself which is short and simple.

Gentleman Review - 2/5
Rating: 2/5
Starring : Posani Krishna Murali, Arthi Agarwal, Natasha
Director : Posani Krishna Murali
Producer : Nallam Padmaja
Posani Krishna Murali has been one of the very few directors in Telugu Film Industry who have never shied away from any controversies. It is this brazen attitude which has led him to make films like ‘Operation Dhuryodhan’ and most recently ‘Mental Krishna’, ‘Raja Vari Chepala Cheruvu’. His latest film ‘Gentleman’ is yet another bold film which has an important message for the society. Posani Krishna Murali, Aarthi Agarwal and Louis play the lead roles in this film. Nallam Padmaja produced the film on the ‘Veerabhadhra Productions’ banner. The film is about a married couple and how their relationship changes over a period of time.
What is it about : Posani Krishna Murali stars as Muddu Krishna, who works in a software firm. He’s married to Neeraja (Aarthi Agarwal) who believes that her husband is extremely loyal to her and would even die for her sake. However, Muddu Krishna has a different side to his personality. He’s a womanizer who indulges in multiple extra-marital affairs for pleasure. One of them is Louis, a girl from UK working in the samesoftware firm. One day, Neeraja decides to test her husband’s loyalty towards her and hatches a plan with the help of a friend. Will she succeed in her plan? Will Muddu Krishna’s skeletons tumble out of the box? That forms the rest of the story.
What is Good: Posani Krishna Murali’s unconventional stories, peculiar characterisation and slap-on-the-face kind of dialogues make it difficult to watch his films like any other film. He sets his own rules and in that sense, Posani definitely excels in everything he does. Within ten minutes intothe film, the ‘Posanian’ school of thought raises its flag and it doesn’t matter if the society agrees of not, Posani would do what he believes in. Hence, don’t be surprised if you find him boozing on the road while he lets his wife have her share of privacy with her boyfriend. Don’t be surprised if you see that:
1) Posani drinks acid like it’s a cool drink and doesn’t get hospitalised.
2) Posani drinks ‘Baygon Spray’ and get well within 30 minutes.
3) Posani donates his liver to his own wife.
4) Posani argues that it’s okay to manipulate woman irrespective of their marital status.
5) Posani’s “Coffee-Love” hypothesis to test his wife’s love quotient for him
6) Posani can make any girl fall in love with him. ANY GIRL!
7) Posani’s version of ‘7 stages of a project’ with a girl enticing boy twist!
8) Posani can rap and play saxophone!
9) Posani can hack passwords and make Login.js file disappear.
10) Posani can handle multiple ‘encounters’ with women on the same day.
What is bad: The film suffers from a bad casting. Aarthi Agarwal recites her lines meticulously without any emotions for the most part. The only part where you genuinely sympathize with her is the scene where she discovers the true nature of her husband. She’s loud throughoutthe film and could have done a much better job. Newcomer Louis has a meaty role apart from having to show lot of flesh. While she succeeds in the latter part, she fails to make a mark in her role. It would have been a lot better if Posani had retained her dialogues in English, instead of giving her dialogues to speak in butler Telugu. She hardly moves an inch of her facial muscles and the only expression which comes out when she’s angry and kicking Posani’s butt all over the garden. Kota Srinivas Rao’s role as a scientist who’s conducting an experiment on the sex lives of ‘Rats’ is poorly written and unnecessary inthe film . If this wasn’t enough, Posani (the writer) writes an essay on what differentiates Human Beings from rats/pigs. It’s an insult to the community of Rats and if they could understand our language, probably they would revolt or maybe ‘fast’ to teach humans a lesson.
Bottom Line: ‘Gentleman’ has an important message and it’s a 2 hour guide of ‘What Not to Do when you are married!’ The film has been shot mostly inside bungalows or guest houses and the cinematography required for such a film is adequate. Background score is decent and thankfully it never gets too loud. In the end,the film belongs to one man only, Posani Krishna Murali. Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore him for what he is. He wrote the story, dialogues and screenplay forthe film apart from acting and directing in it. His trademark style can be seen in the dialogues and acting more than anything else. To watch a Posani Krishna Murali’s film requires some prior homework to be done. Do watch his earlier films like ‘Mental’ Krishna, Raja Vari Chepala Cheruvu to get an idea of what kind of films Posani makes.The film is high on testosterone and surprisingly the humongous amount of sleaze depicted in ‘Mental’ Krishna has been reduced here. ‘Gentleman’ is strictly for fans and admirers of Posani. You wouldn’t want to take a risk of going to one of his films without any mental preparation.
P.S: Medically, a human being would die within minutes if the ‘Liver’ is removed from the body. However, in ‘Gentleman’ the actors spare a full 2 hours to listen to Muddu Krishna’s version of why he had to donate the liver. Phew…anything is possible in ‘Posanian’ world!
