Bommarillu

A beautiful film. This is one film which you can watch with your family and find everyone loving it. You won't find dance in rain sequences or hero fighting with 50 well built men or anything generally associated with Telugu cinema. Everything about the film is beautiful (starting with Genelia) and you will definitely want to watch this film over and over again. Telugu cinema has sure come off age!!!

Siddarth's acting is great and Genelia is really amazing. She looks almost perfect. Her character (Hassini) is one of the most bubbliest characters I have seen for a long time in a cinema. Genelia will make you fall for her. Prakash raj as usual does his role with ease and poise playing the over-protective father. Background music is excellent and the songs especially Ippudo, eppudo is superb. great work by Devi Sri Prasad.

Enough of reading this and watch the film. Its a MUST SEE.

Bommarillu is the story of Sidhu's(Sidharth) struggle in dealing with a controlling father.Life moves along manageable well till the point where he gets engaged to a girl of his father choice and then goes on to meet the girl of his dreams,Hasini (Genelia).Sidhu who had been rebelling from within until then,finally finds a reason to bring out the rebel who had been hiding within him all along.

The movie moves at a steady pace and keep the viewer interested at all junctions.Lead performance by Sidharth and Genelia are commendable though Genelia occasionally stumbles from sweet to sappy.The supporting cast does a decent job but I found Prakash Raj a little tiring as he does the same thing he does in every movie with the tapping-forehead-with-four-fingers-thing.

Strong points for the movie include:- 1.Squeaky clean script:-Its thekind of squeaky clean that u can watch this movie sitting next to your maths professor without flinching.The lead pair rarely make bodily contact except for some dance moves.No double meaning jokes,no exposing,no innuendo of any sort.Kudos to the director for his effort to keep it this clean.

2.Story&Direction:-The approach is the same,but at least the story is different.the characters of Sidhu and his father are well fleshed and their portrayal is commendable.It would have been easy to dismiss Sidhu for being a wuss without a spine if it wasn't for the directors effort in showcasing the emotions that lurk withing a man without freedom.

3.Genelia:-The whole script rests on her likability.And she does her job pretty well.Sometimes she does stumble on the line between sweet and sappy, but she finds her balance pretty fast.

4.Music:-Another great job by the talented Devi sri Prasad.Engaging and fun.

Weak points:-

1.The comedy track is weak.

2.Kota Srinivas rao and Jayasudha are wasted.They do provide strength to the cast but they are too talented to be offered that little.

3.Occasionally over sweet script but they are minor glitches and overall don't effect the movie to a great extent.

Bottomline:-A very good movie to be enjoyed with the entire family.If this movie doesn't break records,it will certainly run in theaters for a long time.

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.

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......

i have no hesitation at all to rate 10 out of 10 for this blockbuster...i don't remember exactly how many times i have seen the last episode of the movie, where the emotional discussion between hero and his dad rocks....i have never expected he can do that well!! and no doubt, the entire credit goes to the director for not only being able to choose the right actors for each and every character, but also for being able 2 extract that marvelous talent 4m all d cast....hero's father is an evergreen actor, who delivers an ultimate performance...hero's mother and the cook r fit in2 those roles and coming 2 d major asset of the movie, its the heroine....u can notice a perfect professional actress in this movie...i have never ever seen her in such a role...this is a sort of dream offer 2 any actress in d industry....another major asset of the movie is music...he is one among d very few trustworthy music directors 2day in the film industry...even the taking n presentation of d songs is adequate this would be standing one among my all time favorite movies 4ever...n ever
