Mahesh Khaleja Review

It’s like a Rain in the land of unending drought ….It’s like a Train in the station with awaiting crowd…

Yes it’s the Khaleja for millions of Mahesh’s fans…who eagerly are counting not just the weeks and months…but years to see their “idol” on the silver screen!!

And expectations were on the top for Trivikram directing it and seductress Anushka pairing up with him…

Now finally all is history as the movie is out and so let’s check out how well it fared…

Plot -Mahesh plays Bruce Almighty

Actually there would be many expectations that surround the comeback movie of Mahesh…and everyone has their own thought on the plot…but the actual one in mind of Trivikram is a kind of natural fantasy in lines of “Bruce almighty” or say our own “Baba”…Of course which just takes time to digest for a while…

It’s a story of Taxi Driver…who is treated as God who came to their rescue due to some signs…And how hero believes he has mission to accomplish and finally does the task is all the movie about

Actors:

MaheshBabu, Time has not withered his charm by an inch but in fact he appears even more handsome now. . It’s common usage in AP to call someone as “Mahesh Babu” to treat them as handsome. I guess not many disagree with that and it is happy to see this magnetic beehive back in town to allure all those female bees who are missing him for a while. This time he was in more ease…especially Trivikram stitched many comedy scenes around him and also on him…So this elevated his dialogue, diction and comedy timing…and in one word he has given his natural best…But Dance moves should be more better…he justifies them in only last song.

It’s always tough for his leading lady to match the glow of prince…And I guess till date only Sonali only suited him well. No doubt Anushka looked pleasing...But there is lot of inconsistency in her outfits...she looks gorgeous in few...and ranges from normal and bad in others…Over all she is ok.

Among all others Only Rao Ramesh (Villager aka Astrologer who sees God in Mahesh) and his voice gets registers more and character takes u back to Maghadheera.

And then you have Shafi who with his shouting breaks the intensity and nullifies the good that is possible...like in Chatrapathi…

And of course Prakash Raj... is the main villain but limited…he loses his hand in climax fight like he loses his ears in Pokiri fight. Brahmanandam, Ali and Sunil have limited appearances and provide us spontaneous laughs and disappear…

Dhaivam Maanusha Rupena

“Dhaivam Maanusha Rupena” is the exact theme around which the story is weaved…We treat any fellow man who helps us in need as a God…And in fact Hero in every film is an implicit God as he resolves a problem and that message is inherently told. So here the hero rescues a village from a serious problem and thus an implicitly divine… But shouting aloud the implicit fact is something that could not be registered soon with audience...at least in first go!

Movie Flow and the direction…

First half is simple and sweet. As in Malliswari, Hero, Heroine and comedian are “desert”ed…Yeah this time it is real desert and things go wrong because of heroine who is treated as Iron lady. Though the director repeats the formula, the entire episode is hilarious…and colorful.

Second half starts off on very serious note with intervention of Shafi and making Mahesh the God. But the seriousness is diluted by light narration.

Trivikram comfy zone is obvious that it comprises of his witty one liners and light narration…He entirely depended on the same and we definitely enjoy the scenes at the moment. And this time Mahesh alone handles the comedy department so well. But we are not connected with the theme.

Fights...Songs…etc etc

All the fights start off with a witty dialogue prelude and that is accepted well.

Songs are good on screen just like the music. I liked “Pilichey pedavula paina” and “Makatika…” more. “Sada Siva …” is not as expected might be because it is a transformation song…which comes as a surprise moment. Manisharma excels after long gap.

Styling by Yashbhatt is awesome …And Mahesh magnified his work. Cinematography is cool. There are few locations but are good.

Things that went wrong with the expectations

It’s primarily the expectations that are piled upon the combination and it is not easy to keep them live every time...

The Basic plot is made believable partially only because of Hero’s characterization. Hero behaves very normally and is in the same mindset of audience that he is just the man but possesses divinity and decides to help the needy. But the surrounding situations exaggerate the proceedings testing our patience…

Screen play is shattered…as things are made clear in the pre climax…And funny part is inclusion of Rajasthan in the plot when the problem is in the small village in Andhra Pradesh…this confuses the audience…

Second half should have been racy enough with some action elements and more of characters as the comedy become monotonous after a while with minimal characters.

And all the characters appear on screen as if they are all running around same bush.

Final Say …Do watch it for Mahesh…

Yes it is Magic of Mahesh…His body language and the characterization looks simple but are superb. He has more dialogue this time and he entertains the audience in every moment…And he is there in almost every scene…So complete Paisa Vasool...

So fans of the combinations and Permutations of these four people “Mahesh-Trivikram-Anushka-Manisharma “should watch this for sure…for comedy and songs

And it’s basic plot and screenplay …that disturbs few…and so decision is up to you if you have to choose between many other movies like Robo and Brindavanam

Rating:

3. for good theme and Mahesh… While negative is narration and second half which could be made far better!!Seriously it is tough to rate a movie...and please go by positives and negatives mentioned..and judge it..:) For tollywood Updates sms as ON TELUGUBUZZ to 9870807070

Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan in History:
The traditional Hindu festival 'Raksha Bandhan' (knot of protection) was came into origin about 6000 years back when Aryans created first civilization - The Indus Valley Civilization. With many languages and cultures, the traditional method to Rakhi festival celebration differs from place to place across India. Following are some historical evidences of Raksha Bandhan celebration from the Indian history.

Rani Karnawati and Emperor Humayun
The story of Rani Karnavati and Emperor Humayun is the most significant evidence in the history. During the medieval era, Rajputs were fighting Muslim invasions. Rakhi at that time meant a spiritual binding and protection of sisters was foremost. When Rani Karnawati the widowed queen of the king of Chittor realised that she could in no way defend the invasion of the Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah, she sent a rakhi to Emperor Humayun. The Emperor touched by the gesture started off with his troops without wasting any time.

Alexander The Great and King Puru

The oldest reference to the festival of rakhi goes back to 300 B.C. at the time when Alexander invaded India. It is said that the great conqueror, King Alexander of Macedonia was shaken by the fury of the Indian king Puru in his first attempt. Upset by this, Alexander's wife, who had heard of the Rakhi festival, approached King Puru. King Puru accepted her as his sister and when the opportunity came during the war, he refrained from Alexander.

Lord Krishna and Draupathi
In order to protect the good people, Lord Krishna killed the evil King Shishupal. Krishna was hurt during the war and left with bleeding finger. Seeing this, Draupathi had torn a strip of cloth from her sari and tied around his wrist to stop the bleeding. Lord Krishna, realizing her affections and concern about him, declared himself bounded by her sisterly love. He promised her to repay this debt whenever she need in future. Many years later, when the pandavas lost Draupathi in the game of dice and Kauravas were removing her saari, Krishna helped her divinely elongating the saari so that they could not remove it.

King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi
The demon king Mahabali was a great devotee of lord Vishnu. Because of his immense devotion, Vishnu has taken the task of protecting bali's Kingdom leaving his normal place in Vikundam. Goddess lakshmi - the wife of lord Vishnu - has became sad because of this as she wanted lord Vishnu along with her. So she went to Bali and discussed as a Brahmin woman and taken refuge in his palace. On Shravana purnima, she tied Rakhi on King Bali's wrist. Goddess Lakshmi revealed who she is and why she is there. The king was touched by Her and Lord Vishnu's good will and affection towards him and his family, Bali requested Lord Vishnu to accompany her to vaikuntam. Due to this festival is also called Baleva as Bali Raja's devotion to the Lord vishnu. It is said that since that day it has become a tradition to invite sisters on sravan pournima to tie sacred thread of Rakhi or Raksha bandan.
