Varudu Review | Allu Arjun's Varudu review
Allu Arjun is known for energetic dances and action-packed movies. His films like Desamuduru and Arya proved his calibre. Almost all the films in his career were either hits or run with above average talk. He teamed up with Gunasekhar for Varudu which is produced by DVV Danaiah, who had produced a blockbuster like Desamuduru with Allu Arjun. The posters and trailers of Varudu evoked lots of expectations and hype. However, all the expectations were proved wrong with the director once again utterly failed in translating his ideas on the screen properly.
Sandeep Aka Sandy (Allu Arjun) is the son of a well-settled couple Ashish Vidyarthi and Suhasini. His parents fell in love and got married against the wishes of their parents. Though Sandy is well-educated and got a job with huge pay-packet in the US, he always thinks quite traditionally and at the same time respects the love and lovers. When his parents decide to convince him for marriage, Sandy simply says it is a good idea to fly to US with wife and tells them to search a bride for him. His parents search a girl called Deepti (Bhanushree Mehra) of their choice. But on the marriage day the bride is kidnapped. What happens next will form the interesting part of the movie.
PERFORMANCE:
Allu Arjun is the sole performer in the entire film. Once again, he toned up his body with six-pack, reminding the audiences of 'Desamuduru' days. He is quite handsome in the first song, while showed his power in action scenes. Though his performance in dances and action scenes is okay, he still needs to improve his dialogue modulation. He should shun the style of yelling at the villain and should show the power through dialogue delivery. If he works more on the voice modulation, he could reach bigger heights.
Heroine Bhanushree Mehra is just average, but not worth a mystery. Of course, she had a couple of big eyes which are very expressive and nothing more to say about her glamour. Even with regard to the performance, she is just average and there is nothing great to say anything about. The director and the producer kept her face and name hiding only for a publicity gimmick and nothing more than that.
Though it is surprising that the director chose to introduce Tamil hero Arya as villain to the Tollywood, he did his best in the film. Arya had a strong screen presence as villain with his attractive eyes but the director failed to establish and etch character properly and Gunasekhar literally failed to use him to the fullest potential. Perhaps for the first time on the Telugu screen, Ashish Vidhyarthi played a soft role and Suhasini played his wife in a neat role. Naresh and Vinaya Prasad played the heroine's parents and they did justice to their roles. The director needs to be appreciated for gathering senior artistes like Ravi Kondala Rao and Radhakumari, besides bringing to the fore a senior director like Singeetham Srinivasa Rao in a dignified role. Other artistes like Nazar, Rao Ramesh are just okay.
TECHNICAL:
Dialogues by Thota Prasad are good in parts. However, the way he used the Telugu idioms (Sametalu) during the marriage scenes are humorous and tickled the funny bones of the audiences very well. After listening to the dialogues and watching the huge gathering of middle-aged and old couples, the present generation would definitely get a feel of getting married in a traditional style to enjoy the presence of such a huge gathering. The get-together of several families is worth watching and it is learnt that they were real life couples who were invited to the shooting.
The director's taste in showing girls in half-sarees and dancing to the tunes is laudable. The first and last song were impressively choreographed and Allu Arjun once again proved his dancing skills in both these songs. The entire second half is a disaster, with the director taking the cinematic liberties to the fullest extent. Cinematography in the film is good and the Rajasekhar captured the beauty of marriage as well as the action scenes with equal ease. Graphics used in songs are good to watch.
ANALYSIS:
Probably, Gunasekhar might have created an opinion with the six-pack body of Allu Arjun and thought of bringing out a film with family traditions on one hand and action on the other. He was quite successful in making the film till the first half. However, his creativity went above the imagination and crossed boundaries which tested the patience of the audiences in the second half. The concept of performing marriage in a true traditional style is okay. But the entire concept was rounded off with just one song. Despite a lavish spending, the film failed to give anything worth to the audiences, nor it had a good message that traditional marriages are the need of the hour. The director tried to impress the audiences with a voice-over by Chiranjeevi at the beginning of the film on the concept of marriage.

Karan Razdan Says Indians Don't Talk About Sex In Open! Really?
In a telephonic interview, KARAN RAZDAN tells JYOTHI VENKATESH that filmmaking is a creative process than directing TV serials, because in films no one is holding a gun against your head unlike TV which is a tough medium which is made even tougher by the choice of the subjects that the channels impose on the producer.
Now that your film Mittal V/s Mittal has seen the light of the day, how do you feel?
As a writer, I feel more relieved than as a director of Mittal V/s Mital because I had worked for a longer time on the subject as a writer though I had directed it for only a year.
There comes a time when you have to let go of your creation to the universe and let it fight its own battle. It is your own creation but now it has its own life and you no longer control it. Getting a film of yours released is almost like delivering your own baby.
Do you set out to drive any subtle message through your film?
To tell you the truth, I did not at all set out to reach through my film. More than trying to drive home a message, I just picked up a mirror and showed a part of society to the society.
This sordid part always used to remain covered, ignored and not at all talked about, because Indians do not talk of sex in the open. Marital rape is even bigger a taboo in India.
I took off the blanket from the truth and set out to show the society its gory reality. Beyond that, what the custodians of society want to do is entirely up to them.
What triggered off the idea to launch Mittal V/s Mittal which is about marital rape?
It is my business to investigate and research because I am a writer but today even an ordinary layman can go to any search engine and type marital rape in India and succeed in getting a lot of inputs about it.
I was disturbed by the bitter truth that till 2005, there was absolutely no law in India to control domestic violence. I started writing the subject in September 2004 but the Domestic Act 2005 came into practice only from 2006.
What is intriguing to note is the fact that strangely marital rape has been recognized and made punishable for three years only from International Women's Day this year.
How tough was it for you to cast the actors for the film?
I have always felt as a director that half your battle is won if you cast the right actors in the right roles. I knew that none of the glamorous heroines in Bollywood would be able to give authenticity to the role that Rituparna Sengupta has played in my film.
I needed an actress of substance. Since she is an actress who has won two national awards for acting, Rituparna has been able to lend certain integrity to the role. As far as casting Rohit Roy was concerned, I would say that I proved right because his was the most difficult role among all the four actors in my film.
I have always felt bad that a good looking actor like Rohit is yet to get his right due in spite of the fact that he is very talented.
What difference do you find between directing TV serials as well as feature films?
Filmmaking is a much more creative process than directing TV serials, because in films no one is holding a gun against your head and gives you your own pace to do your work, unlike TV which is a tough medium which is made even tougher by the choice of the subjects that the channels impose on the producer. All said and done, I'd only say that I do not have the patience to deal with TV.
How do you evaluate your growth in films as an actor, writer and director?
I feel that I have grown not only as an actor but also as a writer and director in my journey of the last twenty five years in the film industry.
Though I have to my credit as a writer films like Lakshman Rekha, Dilwale, Diljale, Qayamat, Time Machine and Deewane and films like Girl Friend, Umar, Eight Shani, Souten etc as a director, I feel that I have kind of turned stable only now.
I am slowly trying to find a firm footing by addressing various realities of life, as a writer as well as a director through my films.
Why do you think your films take a long time to see the light of the day?
It is my job to complete a film as a director and its release is not at all in my hands. My films like Roshni and Mr Bhatti Chutti Mein are yet to be released though they are ready.
While Roshni has new comers, Mr Bhatti Chutti Mein has Anupam Kher in the title role with a special appearance by none other than Amitabh Bachchan. It is a comedy film about how Mr Bhatti goes abroad on a chutti and his chutti goes haywire due to a sequence of events.
Where has the actor in you disappeared?
It is such a long time since I had faced the camera as an actor. It does not mean that I have run out of my passion as an actor.
I am in fact doing a ten minute role in Aagaah which I am not only producing under my banner Aartee Films but also directing. Aagaah, by the way, stars Atul Kulkarni and Rituparna Sengupta in the lead with Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik in key roles. It is a super natural thriller with the backdrop of terrorism.
Censors Passed Male Smooch & A Shocking Morphed Nude Shot?
While the fate of the kissing scene between Rahul Bose and Arjun Mathur in Onir’s film Omar hangs in balance, Bengali filmmaker Sudipto Chattopadhyay’s gay kiss in Pankh featuring Maradona Rebello and Amit Purohit has been passed by the censors, untouched.
This would be the first time Hindi audiences will see two men kissing on screen. Madhur Bhandarkar had earlier deleted a male kiss featuring Samir Soni before submitting his film Fashion to the censors.
Not only that, a sequence where Maradona Rebello goes fully naked before his screen-mother Lilette Dubey has also been passed by the lately -liberalized censor board, albeit with the 19-year old actor's butt blurred.
The director Sudipto Chattopadhyay has no quibble with Vinayak Azad Regional Officer of the censor board.
Says Sudipto emphatically, "In fact Vinayak Azad has been very supportive. It's individual members of the jury who raised questions about the language and content.
Some words from the dialogues had to be beeped out. One lady in Burqa behaved as though the moral health of the nation would be destroyed by the deeds of my characters. Such hypocrisy has to stop."
Director Sudipto Chattopadhyay is extremely miffed at the lurid bent given to Pankh. “The so-called male kissing sequence is actually a molestation scene.
The young shocked disgusted hero Maradona is force-kissed by a drunken friend who assumes Maradona is gay.
The sequence is not titillating or erotic but filled with Maradona’s revulsion. But because the kiss came to light after Article 377 was repealed it was conveniently misconstrued.”
The nude sequence will qualify as the boldest ever in an Indian film. It comes at a time when the boy-hero must prove to his domineering mother that he is, after all, a man.
Says the director, “I’ve never spoken about this sequence before because the content is bound to be projected out of context. It’s actually the climactic moment when the hero Jerry (Maradona Rebello) can no longer bear with his mother’s taunts about his manhood.
Jerry takes off his trousers to show his mother that he has a d…k like any man. It’s shocking moment. We shot Maradona from the back. But he was fully nude in front of Lilette Dubey.”
The censorial boldness notwithstanding one wonders how Indian audiences would react to a film that subverts the traditional mother-child relationship and takes it kicking and screaming into the zone of sexual politics.

Baseballer Reggie Bush reportedly ended his relationship with reality show star Kim Kardashian because he was not happy with the sex tape she made with ex-boyfriend Ray J.
"Reggie's mom just could not get over the fact that Kim had a sex tape. Reggie and his family are very conservative, and he told Kim that a marriage is never going to happen between them because of the tape," contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.
Kardashian is said to be regretting the video more than ever now. She feels she would still be with Reggie, if it had never been made public.
"She's still crazy about him. If she didn't have the sex tape, she could have been Mrs. Bush," source added.
Reggie and Kim's separation came less than a month after the couple, who had been dating for almost three years, reportedly bought a $4.8 million love nest together in Beverly Hills.
