Review of Simha (2010) by Sree K — 20 Feb 2011

Title: simha.

Punchline: mass appeal.

Script: srimannarayana ( balakrishna ) is a lecturer in college. he does not like illegal activities. he lives with his grandmother. one day a girl called anjali enters his life. she is bigger trouble and srimannarayana faces them.

Then he realises that , anjali is related to him. the next part of the story is about a doctor simha ( balakrishna ) and how he is related to srimannarayana?

Execution: the movie has a fair script. the first half introduces the characters of the movie except 2 other characters. just before interval , the story begins to hook the audience. the second half is pickup of the movie and really appeals the masses. the climax is good.

Direction: boyapati sreenu had done a tremendous job. very much controlled acting by balakrishna and rest characters.

Screenplay: the script is driven with ongoing catchy screenplay. the first half screenplay is ok and the second half is good.

Casting: balakrishna is the main character of the movie. he does both roles to his best. simha character is the asset to the movie. nayantara had got good role in the second half. rest characters are good and apt.

Music: 2 numbers are good by chakri. rest are average.

Background score: the background score is awesome in 2nd half. nice work by sound engineers.

Cinematography: not much of cinematography use in the movie except one song.

Editing: crisp editing and nice intervals in between , to hook the audience to the seats. sharp editing is seen.

Cgi/ production values: nearly 25 crores on the movie is good. the action episodes are perfectly choreographed. NBk rocks in the action scenes.cgi effects are seen in limited proportions and suits well.

Entertainment value: the movie is entertaining for the mass audience. the class audience should survive 2.5 hours of the film. still the movie is interesting to have a look as it will appeal for the neat performance by balakrishna in 2nd half. entertaining movie.

Final analysis: movie begins well and goes average till interval . the interval song and scene is really picks up the momentum. second half is powerful and portraits the character of simha. the climax is good. overall a well treated movie with doses of romance, action , hints of comedy and tragedy.

Rating: 3.25/5.
