    really.... house of dolls

    Siddu-the hero; Hasini- the heroine.... Never expected -they would have such great chemistry..."dialogs are awesome, scenes are heart touching"....I usually don't watch songs..but this movie has something in it that I just couldn't avoid songs... the best part of the movie is climax...don't you miss it (anyways later you will watch "N" number of times)... great portrayal of characters....each character in this movie is made for that particular actor..as if though they are very natural....Once again Prakash raj has proved his might... English has less +ive adjectives to rate this movie..its a must watch movie...one can watch at least 2 times....number is just a limit......

    Finding Nemo meets Maine Pyar Kiya

    Bommarillu is dressed to the nine's with novelties that makes it tick... and boy o boy - they work big time! Presentation is the key differentiator, otherwise the story is a tried & tested formula in Indian cinema since the medium itself.

    Siddharth: After Rang De, the expectations run high and he does surpass them. Consistent performer indeed.

    Genelia: An apt choice and has all the coy looks to carry the role effortlessly. Very promising.

    Prakash Raj: Luckily he does not succumb to reprising "I care a hoot about the camera" attitude. Hence the restrained performance works for the movie playing the "I decide for you" father.

    Jaya Sudha:: Small role but effective.

    Kota, Subramaniam Dharmavarapu, Suneel, Brahmanandam & Tanikella Bharani:: Adequate

    Songs are hummable. Foreign locales are beautiful and Hyderabad never looked so appealing!!

    Bhaskar the director:: Our "Da man" has mastered the 4-P's of marketing spot-on.

    PS: Last time the tag-line "Love makes life beautiful...." was used in Mahesh Bhatt's "Aashiqui " 1990.

    Johnny Johnny, yes papa..

    A very beautiful story with a lots of comedy. I went for the movie just to kill some time. But what I got was a nostalgic happiness.

    The movie is basically a simple story of a over protective rich father and a modern day son who wants to be happy with self-dependence. When son wants a simple T-shirt, the father gives him a Louis Philippe shirt. In the course the son looses his individuality.

    This is a very emotional movie, but never lost its pace because of the sublime comedy. Siddharth's acting was excellent. Prakash Raj was good in the role of the father. Frankly speaking, I hated the acting of Genelia. The dubbing for her was the worst.

    I truly enjoyed this movie.

    Individuality, Love and Family!!

    Bommarillu (House of Toys) is the story of a young man (portrayed fantastically by Siddharth) who lives with his parents and faces an identity crisis as his overly protective father takes care of everything for him. When all the little details of his life are taken care of, he has nothing but a sense of emptiness left in him.

    When he meets this happy go-lucky girl (played to perfection by Genelia D'Souza) who does anything and everything she wishes without constraints, he gets inspired and loves her dearly. He comes to terms with his own life and the things he misses, mostly his individuality. The rest of the story is how he convinces his family, especially his father about his state d'affaire and wins her over.

    The casting has been excellent. Siddharth, Genelia, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Srinivasarao Kota suit well for their respective roles, especially in the scenes that require strong emotions. These scenes have been presented in a good manner. The music of the movie is a great asset.

    On the whole, the movie is not just your average romantic comedy, but a pleasing mixture of human emotions, drama and romance.

    9/10
