Shankardada zindabad review

Chirnajivi, is one of the reputed actors in India and over years of his action and presence in the industry, he is revered all over other cinefields in India like tamil cine field, malayalam cine field and some extent in hindi field. But now days have changed. To get recognition one has to be very careful in everything including action. Chiranjivi is making a mistake again and again and loosing fame and winning the sympathy of his fans and others. What mistake? He is not concentrating with whom he is acting, how the music is , how the dialogues are etc. He would be just present in the set utter some dialouges with ease and dance to the tunes of lawrence. Thats all. Hundreds of prints would be released to collect money hastily within first week. The same story repeated again and again for the past half a dozen movies. So, while the youngsters are living in their roles chiranjivi became only the idol to be respected by his "service" to the field.
When we come to the movie, it is just below avarage movie. First fault lies in selection of heroine. Now telugu field is desperate for new faces from heroines and beauty is occupied front seat, selecting this heroine could not help to the movie but hampered the progress for her aged figure. It is not her fault, but the fault of producer , director prabhudeva and lastly chirnanjivi. Prabhu deva needs to learn a lot a lot about telugu field and better join somewhere. Inspite of repeated failures he is not learning. As einsteing said, doing same mistake again and again expecting different result is foolishness. Devi sriprasad was sought for music again for this movie and he fully dumped again.
The roughness visible in sanjay dutt as a bhai (dada) is not at all appearing in chiranjivi. Slang is also not unique. This movie would be a time pass but never an entertainer. Shankardada MBBS actually surpassed all other tamil, kannada versions as lot of nativity was injected into that movie. Sonali dendre aspired to act in this movie also but she was not offered nor contacted. Atleast the same hindi heroine vidya balan,should have been booked which would add value to the movie. Anyway, let chiranjivi try more methods till he learns audience are different now.
Marks: 70%

Awards

Andhra people generally will be happy to hear that actor chiranjeevi, would be conferred Doctarate by Andhra university. But a few things stand in our mind. The more felicitations, awards , honours you receive , the higher the responsibility to live worth of them. When some one gets an award like doctorate in action, he should justify for that by showing wonderful action and committment to action, like rajendra prasad. He got doctorate quite early and we are all proud of his contribution to humour in the film industry. He gave heroism to comedian and he dictated action in humour. His latest contribution in aa naluguru is very much appreciated by one and all. Unfortunately, in case of chiranjeevi, the quality is reducing day by day while his remuneration is rising to sky (presently around 6 crores, industry estimate). When you demand that much, you have to serve that much also. Kamal Hasan demands 5 crores and he has dictated action in movie industry which none can surpass in present days. As per our good old story, the king was moving in the streets with devine clothes , that only wise men see them. When a kid exclaimed that the king has no clothes , all the citizens got the wisdom.
This is not sharp criticism for him, but demanding the quality for the price we pay. we are the movie goers who pay 200 rupees per ticket on first day and get disappointed miserably, film after film. The more awards, you gather some how in quick time, the onus to maintain them would also be very high. On one side ANR got all the awards , but he had created maximum variation in the action and commanded action in one way. He played all roles , made super duper hits and his doctorate is worth of it. Hope the great stars feel the responsibility before gathering the doctorates.

Megastar chiranjeevi- Stalin Movie

Chiranjeevi is coming with Stalin very soon. Murugadoss is directing this movie. This is the costliest production of recent times. Every chiranjeevi movie would be costly for that time when it was released. Infact, every chiranjivi movie gives employment for lot of people because of the high cost of production. Now, this stalin is having expectations from his fans who are waiting for a good success for chiru.Murugadoss proved himself well in gajini movie and his direction was very good. However, many new comers in the industry get success in first two movies and then they could not continue success further like director teja. Hope murugadoss proves that he has the strength to give a good hit with chiranjeevi, which would change his fate. Already roumours are here that he is charging around 3 crores as remuneration. Another roumour is that mallika sherawat asked 1 crore as remuneration for just an item song, while heroine trisha is toiling for 75 lakhs . She got annoyed when director was about to fix mallika sherawat at this exhorbitant price. Her pleading is justified. Audience stopped to watch movies just for item songs. They watch for good heroine performances (if hero is silent). Trisha, sriya, asin, kamalini mukherji run the show well from heroine side and pull audience to the hall. If music is good and songs are hit a movie runs well. Let murugadoss depend on superhit songs than item songs. Now a days chiranjivi is unable to give good super hit songs .There is another roumour that chiru is seriously trying to push his son into action arena. With that 80 percent of movie heroes would be from established telugu actor families. Young ,new faces will have tough time for some time. But , it is difficult to confuse, telugu audience for a long time with some type of sentiment or other. They pay only for real entertainment. They may not see who did it. Recently two advertisement gimmicks failed to work. one with pournami movie. They advertised as real old story etc. none bothered whether it is old or new. Second one is Amritha varsham. Advertisement hype was high that amitabh first time acted, a nice pair of hero heroine etc. This also not worked. people never pay just for one uncommitted appearance of Amitabh bachan or anybody.
So it is better to stick to the core business and try to impress audience with real skills and arts.
