Writing/Direction

Movie is supposed to be a satire on Telugu film industry and everything Ram Gopal Varma has seen and experienced in Telugu film industry.

The parallels are so funny yet he roasts everyone including himself. Cinephiles, critics, heroes, heroines, producers, distributors, music directors, and financiers.

Spoofs are well done

Nandi Awards - Gurram Awards lmfaooo

Kottukundam Raa movie and the starting lo movie name is Yedava

Sunil - RGV

Kota - Dil Raju Onti Kannu Gavarajju

Ajay - Star hero

Kanishkha - Anuksha

KT Rao - Idk who but its some star hero

Babu Garu - Naga Chaitanya

Srirsailam Anna - Am Rathnam, Dawood Ibhrahim spoof maybe.

Ringtone Rahman Sharma - Melody Brahma Mani Sharma

Data Base - Idk who this is but Krishna Bhagwan did a great job

The Peon in Rakhi office is always sleeping which is a great gag, he even sleeps standing up against the wall.

Also the assistant directors are so annoying - MS Naryana worst character, Rudraveena the most irritating guy if I ever meet someone like that ill def slap them or beat him, only character I liked was Annamacharya Suman Shetty, Swathi character was so annoying.

Basically the movie has no point. The intentions as to show that making a movie will have compromises with hero, heroine. Music director, producer, distributor everyone when it finally hits the screen.

The movie starts off well and its funny with RGV roasting everyone in Abba Sutti Kaadhu Raa Talent and then Mayabazar songs which ar every funny spoofing all star heroes and directors but then it just becomes stupid with the introduction of Raghubabu and Harshavardhan. Harshavardhan was one of the most annoying characters.

The comparative movie is Neninthe which is directed by his protege Puri Jagan. Yet Neninthe is way better and more commercial way in such an entertaining and emotional manner.

Here its done so poorly. Mainly movie is really slow and boring. There are some funny parts but then after a post just everyone’s bad acting and horrendous direction just made everything worse that comedy turned into boredom and irritation.

And im not sure what the intuition was the movie. Was it to be a satire, a tragedy, pr comedy as he said. Ok the movie is very meta but its more like a frustration movie more than anything. Sunil character is clearly RGV and whatever he faces we dont feel anything or do anything.

The point is that you will have to compromise to achieve your dreams but the way in which it’s done is so stupid. Brahmanandham character is stupid and then Venu Madhav is very athi with his characterization and gives irritation.

I don’t even think its underrated movie, its frankly boring and just badly made.

Heroes are also shown to be idiots and Ajay and Adarsh Balakrihsna are terrible. However that item song was actually very catchy not going to lie.

But I did like how he touched upon how the industry is obsessed with astrology. Narsing Yadva says change the movie title to Na Yayaya Ki Ki Ki Ki and change your name to Appapapa Ra ra ra raju

The out of nowhere Raviteja comes for no reason. I dont even know what the point was.

Basically its a good concept but worst execution. There is no conflict, no direction, no acting, no dhum in the direction. Very weak and boring movie. So slow. Despite funny moments if you are not entertained, how can you say movie was good.

Direction by RGV is terrible. Theres no flow or plot or any direction or point to the movie. That too coming after 12 years, there’s no point. The spoofs and satire is good but as a movie it so slow and boring and just frankly badly made.
