Nani dual role in 'Janda Pai Kapiraju' !!

Doing a dual role always occupies top place in list of any actor. Right from NTR's 'Ramudu Bheemudu' in 1964 to upcoming Ram Charan-starrer 'Naayak' which is slated for release on Jan 10, the dual role movies have been getting wide attention from audiences.

Now, the latest to join this list is young hero Nani. Nani, who is on a roll, with a spree of hit films Rajamouli's 'Eega', Gautham Menon's 'Yeto Vellipoyindi Mansu', is all set to portray dual role in his upcoming film 'Janda Pai Kapiraju'. Acclaimed director Samuthrakhani, who directed films like 'Sambho Siva Sambho', 'Sangharshana', is wielding the megaphone.

Nani himself confirmed, "I'm fortunate to bag this opportunity to work in 'Janda Pai Kapiraju'. This is going to be a landmark film in my career. Usually, actors who have done 50-60 films would get such roles. I'm very lucky to get this role at early of my career. I play dual role in this film." Amala Paul plays Nani's romantic interest. She plays deglamourized role in the film like all Samuthrakhani's films. But if you are eagerly looking forward to watch Nani's dual role you've to wait till September. Since, it is bilingual (Tamil-Telugu), the makers are shooting separate scenes in different locations for each language. Currently, the first schedule of shooting is progressing at Manikonda, Hyderbad.

Meanwhile, Nani's other film 'Paisa' directed by Krishna Vamsi is nearing completion.

Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu Movie Review !!

Movie : Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu
Rating: 3/5
Cast : Nani, Samantha, Krishnudu and others
Directed by : Gautham Menon
Produced by : C Kalyan
Banner : Teja Cinema
Music : Ilayaraja
Release Date : 2012-12-14

Gautham Menon is known for making beautiful romantic films and this is brand GM film with all the elements that we expect from his movie. Tad slow yet feel good movie.

What is it about?

Varun (Nani) and Nithya (Samantha) are childhood friends who fall in love in their teenage. Certain egos and personal goals come between them and their love will be put to test. How they overcome all the hurdles is what this film is about.

Performances:
                                                                                                                                
Nani is superb as Varun. He is a very natural actor who could easily go into the skin of any character. We have seen him doing energetic and entertaining characters before. This time he plays a soft spoken boy next door who is madly in love. He has come up with winning performance. Samantha is a revelation. She has proven as a fine actress before, but this time she delivers an excellent performance. Her expressions are very good. Krishnudu and the rest of the star cast are good.

On the Technical Front:

Music by Ilayaraja is decent. Couple of songs are haunting and background score is nice. Cinematography is beautiful. Editing is okay. Technically the movie is up to the mark.

Director Gautham Menon proves that he has great command over romantic tales. He captures minute details in love and this film is not an exception to it. However he should have mixed right dose of entertainment to make this appeal to all the sections of audiences. For now it is only the movie that will appeal to those who are in love. As a director this may not be Gautham's best, but it is definitely not bad.

Analysis:

Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu doesn't have any story. It is just a journey of a couple who come across different situations in their life. Like every Guatham movie, this also moves at its own pace. It hardly moves at times and gets stuck to one point more than once. That may not go down well with the audiences who hate watching slow romantic films.

Most of the movie is conversational and people who expect punches will be disappointed. Why because the conversations are very natural and personal. So if you are not involved into the film they might seem boring. Music and performance of the lead pair are the main assets for this film which has its moments.

It is a very urbane film with feel good factor which would appeal to young hearts. It depends on your tastes and feelings whether to like it or not. Target audiences should help this film to sail safe at the box office. Will they? Let's wait and watch.

Verdict: Slow paced romantic tale with some fine moments

Nani Should Stop Talking Like This !!

Young hero Nani, who is on a high flare after signing the remake of Bollywood film 'Band Baaja Bharat' with Yash Raj Films, is making some harsh comments right now. Maybe it is not wrong to have an opinion, but being a celebrity one should know the right time to express it.

When it comes to selecting a director, most heroes love to work with big-filmmakers. But things are not same when this hero becomes a super-star or if the director turns into flop master. The other Nani tried to say the samething but the way he interpreted his opinion is a bit harsh. 'If it is Mani Ratnam, I don't want story. I just want to feature in his film and its Box Office result doesn't bother me. But if it is someone else, including Krishnavamsi, I want a perfect script', said Nani, while sharing his thoughts. Right now, Krishnavamsi is working with Nani for 'Paisa' and these kinds of talks will surely hurt Telugu directors. At least, Nani should have avoided that example of Krishnavamsi.

Many star Telugu heroes who have run for big Tamil directors tasted a bitter result most of the times. Talking in that way will make Nani an enemy for Telugu movie lovers and fans of Telugu directors. Is Nani reading this?
