Dialogues, Story, Screenplay and Direction: Teja
Producer: Ramoji Rao
Release Date: June 16ht, 2000
Context: Don’t even remember the movie just know that is Uday Kiran, Reema Sen, and Teja first movie. Rewatched it and it was ROD RAA BABU. Unbearable cringe just so slow and so boring and gave headache. It the worst movie we have rewatched since starting this podcast. I hated it that much.
Acting:
Uday Kiran is decent. Looks the part thats about it. Looked very rough but obviuiosy improved.
Reema Sen is obviously vert attractive and has great screen presence and suited the character perfectly, Acting wise she did ok as they’re both new actors.
Tanikella Bharati is the hug light as typical middle class father who is always yelling at his sons.
Banerjee is decent.
Entire friend gang gives irritation and they were terrible. Rallpallai garu was ok.
Gundu Sudharshanam has a cameo as auto driver.
Not much to talk about acting overall.
Writing/Direction:
This is a perfect example of a movie that has aged so terribly its not even funny. The core concept of teenage pregnancy is good but the execution is so bad.
First of all the whole movie gives irritation with its taking. And because by that point I was already so frustrated with the movie, whatever conflict they faced after having the baby I didn't care at all.
Movie was so slow and boring, No entertainment, just straight up boredom and irritation more than anything, There’s literally nothing to praise in the movie. It was pukka rod.
Direction by Teja is terrible. Movie has aged so badly and its so slow and boring in present day with no entertainment and illogical writing.
Technicalities:
Songs and BGM by RP Patnaik are pacha lite. I didnt like a single song.
Cinematography is decent and so is Art Direction for the music portion.
Editing is awful. Theres no pacing or flow to the movie whatsoever
Production Values by ramoji rao are decent. Its a low budget movie and clearly looks like one.
Overall: Chitram is unreadable rod in present day. With no entertainment, cringe pro max, and such a slow and boring movie. Dont even bother trying to watch it again, That is all. Thank you.

Decided to rewatch it as we are doing all youthful love stories during that time, and it was ROD RA BABU. ROD RAMBOLA.

Story - Dialogues - Screenplay - Direction: Trivikram
Release date: 10th October 2002
Interesting Facts:
Nuvve Kaali Vanamani house shooting, Trivikram narrated the story to Ravi Kishore. He went to his car and brought his check book, and gave him advance as much as he got entire rumenuration as writer for Nuvve Kavali, he bought a bike with that money.
At that point Nuvve Kavali still hadn’t released and he had confidence in him to do it. So basically everybody who worked for Nuvve Kavali worked again for Nuvve Nuvve as a formality basically as goodwill. Went to Mumbai to meet Shriya to narrate the story
I directed Nuvve Nuvve film after the release of Nuvvu Naaku Nachav. I couldn’t do that film the way I wanted. I was not completely satisfied with my work. I think the dialogue writer in me dominated the director in that film. However, it was a commercially successful project for the producer and was a hit at the box office.
Writing/Direction:
So actually the main point is that a father’s love for his daughter can never be beaten. The entire movie is actually a flashback because Prakash raj narrates entire story to Tanikella Bharati of what happened.
The best part of the movie is that its very realistic but also the whole world created for the characters. Basically all of them face the same problem which is everybody is torn between father and lover all 3 main characters.
Also with Rishi, Anjali, and Viswanath, you get to travel with them, learn their worlds, learn their ideologies, and learn the way they think and go through this wile journey with them which is rare for a film.
But much like the movie idiot, this is one of those point of view movies, and if you ask me the only correct POV is Prakash raj. But yourself in his shoes and whatever doubts he has they are valid. Praksh raj isn’t even the villain, hes just a man trying to understanding veeyrhting and fears that someone other than him will love his daughter kore than him.
Vishwananth seems like a man with such high morals and everything but theres a crucial scene with Rajeev Kanakala where he calls out Viswanath’s hypocrisy and he starts to think about it.
Also Rishi and Anjali’s actions start to affect their families as well and its like everything that’s going on is basically like a chain reaction, IN that aspect this is a brilliantly written and directed film.
He eventually loses and gives Anjali to Rishi.
That being said two points seemed very over the top: First one was them just casually going to Mumbai and back,
idk how that works but it seemed quire unrealistic and illogical and then they run out of petrol and just keep pushing the motorcycle towards Annavaram. What he did there was actually stalking even though they like each other.
Also the movie pace was really slow and especially 2nd half it just completely slowed down. The copy iw watched was 2 hrs 48 mins. Also movie is so dialogues heavy that I get exhausted. Its one thing to have heavy dialogues and they work, like theyre really good, the opposite would be Aagadu so I hope it makes sense.
These drama movies aren’t my thing no matter how good the drama might be, I need some other commercial elements in the movie. Very little Trivikram mark comedy as well.
Direction by Trivikram is good for the characterizations, writing, and dialogues. But huge pacing issues as the movie is very slow and feels like a lot of lag in between giving boredom.
In the end, Amma avakayi Anjali bore kottindi actually.

Interesting Facts
We met Ram Prasad for the first time when he was assisting B Gopal for the film 'Gang Master' in the year 1996. He is a hard worker and a very sincere guy. His experience helped us in the making of 'Chiru Navvuto'. He worked without an assistant for that film most of the times. I give all the credit for the success of the film to G Ram Prasad for his direction.
During Nuvve Kavali making, Trivikram had simultaneously penned story and dialogues for Chirunavvutho.
After the unit of SP Entertainments returned from Canada after canning three songs on Venu and Shaheen, it commenced its scheduled at Hyderabad recently. After giving a good thought on various titles, atlast it was decided to call this different love story as Chirunavvu (Smile).
A situational song was picturised on Venu and his friends alongwith 250 junior artistes at Annapoorna Studios.
The budget for Chirunavvuto was a little over 2 crores and it collected a share of 5 crores and was a hit at the box office.
Ran for 100 days in multiple places
Writing/Direction:
So basically the movie summed up in a line is a man who thinks with his brain and heart and cannot be friends with a girl after expressing his love. Whether or not he’s successfully is the story.
This movie is literally a sequel to Swavyamvaram. Same producer, same hero, same writer, and literally same cast with addition of Brahmanadham and LB Sriram. And almost same story as well. There it was love is greater than marriage, here its you love with different mindsets affects people after learning abut their mentalities in love. Thats it. But a great 2nd half and excellent dialogues makes the difference for Navvutho.
3 characters Venu, Sandhya and Pratap you get to see their intentions and the movie actually places Sandhya is a very confused state and you start to feel for her.
Venu says I always talk with my heart and do whats in my mind and he cannot be friends with Sandhya after expressing his love. He wont force anything.
Sandhya meanwhile likes Pratap but one scene int he jewelry store shows how controlling he is and doesnt care about Sandhya’s likes or wishes only his. Already a red flag.
And then Pratap cheated Venu’s maradalu which already shows hes not a good person.
The dialogues, characterizations, and sensibilities were very well done.
Also the scene where Sandhya talks to her mom and who will we be happy with: she says madam preminche vaalu kante, manalni preminche vaale tho jeevitham baguntadi. After hearing this, Sandhya decides that venu is the right person for her.
That being said, this review is coming 24 years after the movie released for the first time and I found it to be exhausting with this trope. Literally of Trivikram’s movies as a writer dealt with marriage and issues and specifically hero likes heroine, but heroine marriage gets arranged with someone else and in the climax she realizes she likes hero and goes back to him only.
Literally every single one: Swayvamvaram. Nuvve Kavali, Chiru Navvutho, Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, Manmadhudhu, Malliswari, Vasu, the only exception is Jai Chiranjeeva becayse theres no pelli there only killing of Arbaaz Khan and Im so tired of seeing this trope.
From Swayamvaravam all the way to Geetha Govindam literally every single love story or rom com same exact ending. Solo as well. It gets exhausting and tiring.
Comedy is not Trivikram range that we are used to either. Its just something but the dialogues for the majority are incredible.
Direction by G Ram Prasad is very good. I was never bored at any point and movie is very breezy throughout.

Dialogues: Diwakar Babu
Cinematography: Ajay Vincent
Story - Screenplay - Direction: Seenu Vytla
Producer: Ramoji Rao
Release date: 6th February 2004
Writing/Direction:
To be honest its quite hard to describe this story in one sentence. An orphan who works at an NGO falls in love with an aspiring painter who has a huge joint family.
Two conflict points in the movie is Akash mistaken identity and then JD CHakravathy conflict with the family. And nether of them work because neither are convincing enough or strong enough to run the entire movie.
Also clear to see that comedy inspiration would become two full length tracks in the future: Painting thread with G=Bhuvana in King was expanded and then train scenes with Akash, Venu Madhav and Gotham Raju were used in Venku right after this
What does work are the separate comedy tracks which are brilliantly done and Sreenu Vaitla was comic genius. First track is between Venu Madhav, Kondavalasa, MS Naryanaa, Sudhakar, Dharmavarupu
1st thing: Venu Madhav tells Kondavalasa to have happy hour at 7 PM to get max profits but within 30 mins he runs out of alcohol and the people beat him up. One guy cheated
2nd: MS Narayana is screening Manmadhudu byt Venu Madhav tells him to screen Shakeela movie during happy hours and put English movie bits as well. He screens the movie and then Censor Board members come and he tells him to watch it and he gets his theater seized
3rd: He tells Sudhakar to go to pakka ooru Rajahmudnry club and play there. That night a police played by JP Reddy comes and tries to arrest him. He forgot his keys and then steals the Police’s motorcycle itself
4th: NGO track with higher officer he gives his suit to Dharamvarupu and he books Dharmavarupu. All of these are very funny.
Dharmavarupu dialogue delivery was actually quite annoying and brought irritation.
2nd track is between Sivaji Raja and Bharath. Highlight. Sivaji Raja always roasts him are chetulu lo cinema actors chopistava, Hyderabad lo Taj Mahal vundi ante and then the classic monologue: title Pepepa anti
Ananganaga oka pedha kutumbam, aa kutumbam lo thanri chala pedhavadu thalli kuda pedhade valla pillalu Thota malli vontavadu, aakiriki car driver kuda pedhavade, papam vaalu tinnadaniki chicken biryani kuda doraka, alkali tho AC car tho velthundaga
Orey! pandi yedava 20 mandi panollu AC car lo vunnolu pedhola, idi rayadaniki school yega dobbuthava.
And then to escape from JP Reddy 2nd time with his wife on his cycle, he comes to store on his bicycle and he finds Sudhakar and he to escape he puts on Enugu costume and then he steals JP reddy’s cycle.
The comedy is really good. But main negative is The main story lacks emotion and it’s not convincing. Preeti character is like a pysco and she acts very weird.
Also some scenes are so weirdly done, she calls her dad and she’s like Nanna nenu chahipithujna Amma Mahi! And the flashback is not convincing at all. Not enough conflict for there to be a family conflict at all.
And then JD Chakravarthy comes back and everyone is so casual about it Mahi chanipoyindi andi antaru. It was such comedy. So in the end except for some comedy scenes, there’s noting in the movie.
Direction by Sreenu Vaitla is ok. Comedy is excellent but main story, emotions, and everything else is not so good.

Interesting Facts: https://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/interview_shyam.html
Acting:
Venu is amazing in his role. His first movie, incredible comic timing, dialogue delivery and intensity towards the end and incredible screen presence. It proved his talent with first movie itself.
Laya is equally as good. She is exceptional in the emotional scenes and has great chemistry with Venu. Both leads but killed it in their debut movies.
Giri Babu is excellent as the evil father. Technically he is the villain, typical heroines father.
Kota is very good as usual as hero’s father. He also gets a chance to showcase his comic timing in some scenes.
Sudha is very good, MS Narayana is hilarious as usual. Ananth Babu is breif and Dharmavarupu scene is hilarious in a cameo as dr. Dhariyam, Venu Madhav also has a cameo.
Ali plays a their in a separate comedy and he’s funny.
Writing/Direction:
Logline is about a man who doesnt believe in marriage and prefers love. But his characterization is like beware guy and then heroine hates him for most of the time. And the conflict point isn’t strong enough which makes the 2nd half completely dragged and dull. Other than the Dharmavarupu scenes, hardly any of the scenes make you laugh.
Storyline has potential and it has a few good scenes like post interval that scene, then Kota coming and apologizing to them, the scene where Venu meets her mother and thats about it. Theres an attempt to create entertainment through Ali in a separate comedy track and Venu’s friends but it didnt work really. Ali’s tracj becomes of like a disturbance and then vent’s friends aren’t funny and dont do much.
Also the other reason I probably didnt really enjoy it is because this movie is a pure drama movie. I need some commercial elements in there like comedy or action, which this movie doesnt have much of at all. To run an entire movie based on drama itself, it needed better drama in the 2nd half.
Vijaya Bhaksar movies are sensible in that they deal with things like Paruvu and avamanam in very classy ways instead of simple. The human emotions and chraxctrerization make a difference to his movie.
There are glimpses of Trivirkma’s vintage writing, as this was first movie it was fully developed yet and the dialogues and some scenes are good, but overall it lacks the entertainment value of their other films together completely. The trademark clean comedy and punches are not here.
Also after watching this film I realized that all Vijaya Bhaskar movies are the same and it created the trope of heroine getting married to someone else, but in the end she chooses hero or something else happens and they unite in the end and somebody is made a bakra. Here its Brahmaji. This movie ends the same way and actually ends on a cliffhanger.
Direction by Vijay Bhaskar is ok. First half is decent with some entertainment and then boring 2nd half, some scenes work to an extent. But the rest doesnt. Its a timepass film but of course he would go onto to become a legend with the next 4 movies.

https://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/gopichand2008.html
Movie was launched on April 18th, 2008 basically in 7 months they filmed the movie and released it,
Audio was released on August 21st, 2008 Hotel Marriot, Hyderabad and got a good response.
The starlit gathering had the presence of Seenu Vytla, YVS Chowdary, Gopichand, Anushka, Poonam Kaur, Pokuri Babu Rao, VN Aditya, Anand Prasad (producer), Siva (director), Ratnam (Dialogue writer), lyricists Bhaskarabatla and Ramajogayya Sastry and others. Jhansi anchored the event.
Pramuka darsakudu Anil Ravipudi worked as Assistant Director for this film and what I heard was the entire classic Krishna Bhagwan comedy track in 2nd half was written by him. He’s also in the movie, watch the scene when Sivaram Gowd comes to hospital he comes to the desk a man hands him papers, that guy only is Anil Ravipudi. He also made a lot of changes
Finally it released on September 28th, 2008 and became a hit movie at the box office, collected 13 crores share and ran for 50 days in Hyderabad in 3 theaters,
Odeon Deluxe - 64 days
Brahmaramba 70 MM
Rajadhani 70MM
What works is are the 3 threads:
Action: Conflict between Sivaram Gowd and Vijay is very well established. And actually the writing keeps you in suspense until interval with whole chasing aspect we typically see. Its kind of like Baasha, guy hiding from his past and villains looking for him that template and everything gets revealed at interval. Flashback is easily the best part is and is so entertaining. Conflict is pretty basic but its done so well and in an entertaining way its fun to see.
Sentiment angle: brother sister sentiment actually has stakes to it and is heart touching. They are orphans after their father dies and nobody isn their basti wants to help and everyone hates them. Christina missionaries come and The brother doesnt want to see his sister struggle and wants her to have a good life with food and etc so he tells a lie, but she takes it seriously and they separate for 15 years. Finally he comes back for her because he loves her. So the reasoning behind it is logical
Comedy angle: Ali as gyms develops the romantic track actually as Gopichand trolls Gymson and then highlight of the movie is 2nd half comedy track, it lasts for about 15 mins and its so good. Keeps you so entertained you dont even care about the story after that.
What didn’t work:
The romantic track: Its so cringe worthy and didnt age well at all. Anuksha gets drunka and says she’s going to rape Gopichand. I think dont think it helps that Gopichand and Anuksha dont have that great chemistry so it doesnt make it smooth or believable.
Emotion: the movie should make you feel something but when Sivaram Gowd terrorizes the town and then fight back, I didnt get that high.
Also huge Vikramarkudu inspiration I felt for 2nd half. Police fights a ruthless criminal who is terrorizing a small town and then instills souryam in them to fight back against them. And its for personal revenge.
Overall the writing is good overall for most of the commercial elements which results in a very entertaining movie.
Direction by Siva is very good.

Story:
6 10th standard studying girls were forced to depart from each other as their parents are moving from Korukonda. They decide to meet again after 6 years. When they meet, five of them are already married and sixth one is about to get married. This film is all about the stories of their marital life and husbands.
Acting:
Girl who plays Sita did a really good job, guy who is Pelli koduku in Athadu plays his wife, and then that guy is in Nayak movie starting they all did a good job,
Highlight is the guy who plays 3rd story husband, so funny and over the top. Was laughing the entire time.
Rest of the actresses did natural acting as they are new and theres not much ti judge.
Writing/Direction:
I have seen many EVV movies like Hello Brother, Alluda Majaka, Evade Gola Vaadidi, I know his style, this is produced, directed, and written by him, wanted to make a different concept.
I get the intention behind the film but by the end it becomes exhausting and stupid. It basically states whatever the women do, it’s correct and there’s no solution to anything.
Movie talks about a lot of themes like sex, extra marital affairs, toxic husbands, and marriage as a whole. It attempts to show what problems women may face after marriage but overall there’s such a lack of connection because the director doesnt even know what he wanted to sya.
It’s definitely unique and progressive movie such it talked about things most people wont. The first story seems mind blowing and crazy but by the end it just becomes comedy. Actually all of the writing becomes comedy.
1st story: Husband has ED so his wife wants physical intimacy and she gets it from someone else, he finds out, and then cant leave her, so he suggests all 3 live together. In this story he wanted to show that women need and want physical intimacy and sex. But the solotuin is so comedy. Nobody would do that. Guy is a cuck and tbh honest such a Jaffa.
2nd story: Nathi angle gives irritation. Here he attempts to show that society still wants women to be housewives and w=men should work but girl has too much self respect so she doesnt do it. Ok. And to make her annoying mother in law settle in down, she set up the broker and her at night. Ok.
3rd story: funniest thing man, acting is so rodidciulous and over the top,. Literally Andrew Tate, also im not sure if people wear underwear under lungi, I was surprised and also the guy working out has such bad form doing the dumbell raises. The acting os the husband is so funny. And then when he gets injured it’s such comedy. Falls on the rock by slipping. What dude would scale his own house like that. Peaks of stupidity. Dad claims the guy is a sadist when in reality he is a sadist for being happy when hes in that position, girl decides to stay with him for unknown reasons because bartha.
4th story: so illogical, which guy would get stuck in an elevator for so long and then during Kashmir shootout he has phone sex with this wife guns blazing and bullets firing then he dies. Such illogical writing. Stupid.
5th story and 6th story I turned it off, I had enough
Direction sucks. EVV wanted to say something but in the end, its just useless.
Technicalities: Movie has no songs which is interesting and BGM is good with veena and other stuff. All other technical values suck. Its like short film quality. Editing is decent with some intercuts like stove getting turned on when girl is touched and then soldier dying and then his photo breaking in house.
Overall: don’t watch the movie, just enjoy the memes. Such a waste of time. Boring movie. That is all thank you.
