Naaga - came before Simhadri. turned it off after 15 minutes. Such a loud and violent movie. Viyadagar and Deva composed the music
Andhrawala - came after Simhadri and released with tremendous hype, first Telugu movie to have 10 lakhs people come to the audio launch, Rakshita weirdest character, NTR 2nd get up is so bad and simple routine revenge drama didnt work at all. I just remember it being bad. Niamey Niamey shook the industry if im not wrong. Raghava Lawrence was the choreographer. And Mumbai slum set was done in Hyderabad at a studio by Art director Chinna. Another song Kokkoka Misaa, nah dil lo ivvani visa, oorinchake samosa, naa favorite onion dosa.
Samba - rod movie. Producer of the movie is Kodak Nani. Unintentionally funny. Out and out mass entertainer and too violent. So many heads get chopped off in this. Violence is not a problem but when it’s senseless it becomes a lot to process. NTR has this weird dialogue delivery and he like shouts at the person and is hyper in all the emotional scenes. NTR comes to Prakash Raj house and sits down in a chair. Prakash Raj raises one eyebrow and then NTR raises both eye browses. This is supposedly to be a mass warning or mass counter lmao. Climax kicks head like a soccer ball and then kid stops a bomb by peeing on it. Then Prakash Raj kills Vijayakumar and pricks the dead body with the sharp point of the knife. Due to the hype and combo, it ended up as an above average at the box office but was not a hit.
Naa Alludu - funniest movie. Intro NTR stands on a car and throws a rod and Shreya and Genelia go flying, then it shifts to a house set with NTR, Ramya Krishna, and Sriya Genelia. Some weird things happen and outdated story about atha alludu. Yem Peru Murugan is the best song
Narasimhudu - Another rod movie, NTR is apparently a mute and makes all these funny faces biting his teeth around Ashish Vidyarthi and kills everybody. Only songs are good. Mani Sharma mass. All of the songs are so good, my favorite are Rajamandrike and Muddula Gopala,
Ashok - another overly violent mass masala movie, Sonu Sood and his mom do some weird things and its just too long and outdated, Gola Gola song is all I remember NTR dance steps are so good.
Shakthi - already reviewed it but Meher Anna already described it in the audio launch. Missile launch ki mana ice value enthandi. Ileana, sets, and mani Sharma music were the highlights. Pharaohs in 1983 apparently when the pyramids were built in 300BC. Story actually has potential with Shakthi peethams but it just turns into simple revenge drama. NTR get up in 2nd half as Rudra is worst.
Oosaravelli - Came during Dookudu, Pilla Zamindar time, trailer created huge impact and generated huge openings, current wire dialogue and songs were good, but movie is rod. Rewatched it for the pod. Nothing in the movie. Badly written, cringe comedy aplenty, no entertainment and worst editing. Tamannah meets NTR on the highway and during their convo, NTR in a car and Tamannah in an ambulance keeps spinning. Villain Rakesh and Payal Ghosh worst lip sync. 2nd half most over the top flashback with Tamannah and her family, Anjaneyam episode is full headache. Vidyut Jammwal got his ass kicked by NTR in back to back movies and then Prakash Raj such a useless villain, BGM is also terrible.
Ramayya Vasthavayya: movie originally had some other story but due it being too similar to Mirchi, Dil Raju asked for a rewrite and they made this crap. Too violent, routine, and boring. Comedy scenes are so bad and entire flashback is peaks of routine. NTR acting is nothing new and Harish Shankar downfall started with this movie. Songs by Thaman were good.
Rabhasa: Came at a time when audience was done with Sreenu Vaitla’s comedy template of making villains barks by entering a house and then this movie comes and NTR had no outstanding blockbusters since Brindavanam. Such cringe and routine comedy, same old family problem bullshit. Brahmanandam worst comedy.
