I am not a big fan of Pawan kalyan, nor do i hate him. In fact i did like him in a couple of his movies and do appreciate that he atleast attempts to try something different albeit over-doing himself. The problem with guys like Pawan Kalyan, Upendra and Shimbu is that they take themselves way too seriously. Instead of the movie being event-driven it falls into the nadir of “hero” driven.

It is surprising that the same public will like a movie like Gamyam, Happy days, Anukokunda Okka Roju, where the hero did not actually matter and they do not really care about the “masala mixture”, when it comes to a “Hero” like Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna or even to some extent Nagarjuna…they expect the movie to have 30 mins comedy, 30 minutes fights, 30 minutes romance and 30 minutes navel exposing heroines falling head over heels over the “hero”. Now how on earth is this gonna be a decent movie?…if i wanted all this, i would rather watch the 30 mins of each segment on youtube…makes sense? No? then go watch Jalsa.

Well nothing surprising here, Pawan kalyan plays a super-hero. He bashes up goons, protects the under-privileged, romances the best looking girls and has time to drink to death every day. Well that is his routine, ohh well before i forget..he has some 4-5 phd degrees as well. the movie starts at a very brisk pace, where pawan kalyan falls in love with Kamilinee Mukherjee( criminally wasted) and even briskly walks away from her, as her father is not interested in him..why, that is for later, which would haunt you. Then we are said that he drinks alcohol everyday of the week and attends college…where he sees Illeana and Parvati Melton( looking sultry hot), and as usual, he is not interested in either of them, but by the truth of destiny, both try to woo him. parvati proposes, Kalyan disposes. Illeana proposes, Kalyan disposes for a few minutes, until he becomes the Hitch for the women fraternity and teaches Illeana how to “patao” men. Which she so convincingly uses on him and voila….they both are in love..what a surprise!!!!! Goes to meet Illeana’s dad to ask for the hand of his daughter, realises he is the same man. Kamilinee’s dad..damn it they are sisters…ohh and in between this..he declares that he is a Naxalite. Dont even try to fry your brains on this. This was a small twist that Trivikram or i guess PK or Allu Aravind wanted to have to puke out their political statements, what with rumors of Chiranjeevi planning of floating a political party. We are also reminded of this man, Chiranjeevi umpteen number of times.

You dont need to have the brains of an Einstein to figure out where the story is heading to. Go watch youtube videos, it is all there. The first half was not bad at all, though it was not any different, but it had an unusual freshness what with Mahesh Babu giving a Voice over and the comedy track. Now, one major grievance i have with the comedy tracks in Telugu F.I is of Physical comedy. How many times have you seen the comedian get beat up just to evoke a few laughter from us? I mean i tell you a joke once, you laugh, tell you twice, you may laugh..keep on repeating…you know it, right…now how many fucking times am i gonna see a comedian get beat up and made a fool of?

Pawan kalyan was bearable in this one, but he sometimes tends to deliver his dialogs way too fast….he shouldnt have been pitted against a stellar actor like Prakash Raj. His limitaions magnify manifolds. Rest all actors are bearable. Did i say Parvati Melton looks hot?

Trivikram had the potential with this script, but with all the other interests of the political statement, hero image, masala mixture, he couldnt do justice to the story at all. Come to think of it, two songs are choreographed as fight sequences, isnt this heights of indulgence?

BTW, our very own Kamal kamaraju plays a very small role in the movie.
