Andariki Namaskaram! Welcome to a new series for the next few weeks.

To clear out all the trash, we've decided to recap all the rod movies so we can focus on actually reviewing good stuff for the future.

The movies we will be talking today are as follows:

Vamsi - saw it on Youtube in 2011 I think, notable for being directed by G Gopal and Krishna comes in the movie out of nowhere in the last 30 mins. Two models are in NZ and some weird stuff is going on. Well at least MB met his wife and they have been happily married ever since. Music by Mani Sharma is the only notable thing. ABC Daatindo, Koyilamma, and Oho Soniya are notable.

Bobby - Saw it on YouTube in 2011, Romeo and Juliet the greatest love story ever apparently of course by Shakespeare, MB in Romeo, Aarti Agarwal is Juliet, and Meyer Ramesh acting debut he is Mercution, Romeo best friend. I remember the opening scene where both of them die in a bomb blast. Gave away the ending in the bomb blast. Director is Varsham movie director Sobhan. Music by Mani Sharma is obviously the only good thing about it. Ee Jenda, Adugadugugu, and Vaa Vaa are the best songs.

Naani - saw it in 2005 on VHS, ripoff of Tom Hanks Big, kid is the kid, MB is tom hanks, and Raghuvaran is the professor. Weird movie and no plot, no story, no direction. Haven’t rewatched. Dont know whether I should be grateful or dislike SJ Suriya because he gave us Kushi but cheated MB and PK fans with naani and Puli. In tamil he was the hero with Simran and that became a hit while this left a bad mark on Telugu audience.Waste of Ameesha Patel as well. AR Rahman music lasted the test of time and myf favorite is Vastha Nee Venuka. Lot of folks love Pedavale Palakina Maata and then of course Naani Vayase 24. Also a deleted item song with Ramya Krishna and MB called Markendeya, Veturi wrote the lyrics and its; available on YouTube

Athidhi - first movie of Mahesh Babu I watched in theaters. Overly long unkempt hair on MB sucked. And now whenever I hear Kaiser, all I can think of is Murali Sharma. Ashish Vidyarthi went to the barber shop and said Anna I want to look like Bob Marley, barber said done. Worst comedy getup. Songs by Mani Sharma are the only plus, Favorite is Khiladi Khoona and Valla Valla. Will say climax acting by MB is better than most heroes entire careers.

Spyder - biggest robbery of MB career, Muruganolan dimpina rod, sure the villain’s characterization was more powerful but a poor rip off of the Dark Knight, ladies scene, that too he spies on other people’s conversations sitting in the basement of a building, boulder scene, villain sadism scene, ladies scene, Haali Haali song before is my favorite song in Telugu cinema ever, then hero stalks heroine, she has a porn addiction and she’s so stupid, there’s 0 chemistry, and then he gets a rod pierced through him, they call somebody to come and take it, and most of all the fights are all in Boom Boom song with such cringeworthy dance steps. Worst screenplay, and direction, idk how people like this movie. That too the robotic Spyder in the teaser is not in the movie. There’s no relation between title and movie. Rod. First premiere show I’ve been to and what a one to go for.

Orange - seen the movie 4 times, I still don’t understand, my friend claims Nagababu is the hero of the movie lmao. Whatever Bhaskar was trying to say didn’t translate on screen at all. Songs, songs, and songs. Greatest album of 2010-2019 decade easily. Everybody loves the songs. Genelia character worst. It was a bold move by Charan to take up a subject like that too after Magadheera. But it got lost in translation literally. Well at least they showed Australia nicely. Def better than Mr. Perfect.

Zanjeer/Toofan - saw it in theaters rip, I don’t remember much except being hyped for Mumbai Ke Hero song and it was Ram Charan Bollywood debut and he got roasted by Bollywood critics, media, and audience for single expression acting.

Govindudu Andarivadele - Kajal mass, rest rip.
