Arundhati

I dont know how people liked this movie. The story was stupid. The graphics were OK OK but not so great that you can compare with hollywood movies. You can easily make out graphics - that means its not high quality. Its schoolboy graphics compared to Hollywood. Don't beleive the other reviews - they seem intent on spreading the hype. The makeup & costumes of arundathi were good and thatz the only good part of the movie. Parts of the movie did not connect so well. It breaks out into a song dance in the most crucial time and context. All in all save your time and money folks. Long live Tollywood.

Only Tollywood movie that can challenge Hollywood in all aspects...Never ever were such extravagant graphics shown on Indian screen (be itBollywood,Tollywood,Kollywood) with perfection...The only cinema which shows the potential of telugu cinema...I was really overwhelmed watching the movie...Please do watch the movie and only in theatres please...Such movies must be encouraged for us to see more of this kind..

The first half of the film is excellent and the second half is good. The plus points of the film are performances, screenplay, technical values and grandeur. The only negative point I see in this film is violence (got an A certificate from censors), which is very much required for the film to be effective. After a long time, I watched a Telugu film that has both content and technology rightly mixed to give a vibrant output. Arundhati is a film which you can proudly show it as a Telugu film to all your non-Telugu friends. And it will live up to the adjective of ‘Magnum Opus’. Two thumbs up to Shyam Prasad Reddy for making a brilliant film. Don’t watch it on internet or pirated DVDs. Arundhati is a film that must be watched in a good theater with nice sound/projection system.

STORY: Arundhati (Anushka) belongs to Gadwal samsthanam in 1920’s. She is known for her bravery in saving the Samstanam by killing Pasupathi (Sonu Sood) an evildoer who creates ruckus in that place. She is praised as Jejemma (named after the famous Goddess in that area). But the spirit of Pasupathi haunts that place. Another girl is born in the same lineage after 3 generations and she is named as Arundhati. The spirit of Pasupati is after Arundhati to take the revenge. The rest of the story is all about how Arundhati puts an end to the evil spirit of Pasupathi. REVIEW: Arundhati is Anushka’s first performance oriented film and she is simply amazing in two roles. There are many shots in the film where the scenes from the present time will dissolve into to flashback and vice versa. These scenes are done on Anushka are crucial in the film. She has to show the variations between the old Arundhati and new Arundhati. She did exceptionally well with subtle yet impact creating performance. Shilpa and Sowmya dubbed the voices of old and new characters respectively. Sonu Sood looks deadly in the role of Aghora. His performance is excellent. Story of the film is good. Screenplay is very good. The beauty of this screenplay is about revealing the story and information in parts. There is always something to look forward to with anticipation in the film. It possesses one of the best screenplays in the recent times. Direction by Kodi Rama Krishna is very good. However, there are a couple of violent scenes that are disturbing to the family crowds. Other than that, I highly recommend this movie - it is excellent on all fronts and is one of the must-watch movies of 2009 in any language!
