Jalsa movie review

Jalsa telugu movie review


At this point in time, I got this phrase from one colleague, so at this point in time I am currently in my house after taking a break for few days from work. Happened to see Jalsa last night and this post is only about the movie written in telugu. So non telugu speakers can close this link right now.
Movie review mostly telugu lo untundi...chala easy...raayadaniki...meeku ardam avvadaniki koda easy and at times ila English koda vaduta unta anamaata. Cinema nenu Hyderabad kukatpally Mallikarjuna theater lo chosa. Ninna Ugadi naadu Second show ki vella, black lo 60 Rs Balcony ticket 170 Rs ki konna. And naa dabbulu vasoolu ayyayi.Ee roju koda try chesa, Black lo 60 Rs ticket 150 annadu. Nenu light teskunna.

Titles just miss ayya, chesszz anukunna...story screenplay direction Trivikram Srinivas ani okkati maatram choosa. Appude Sanjay Sahu, rojuku nalugu peggulu anna dialogue Mahesh babu background voice lo cheppi Pavan Kalyan ni introduce chestadu. Janalu appatike kaagithalu chimpi visardam modhalu pettaru. Tension ga seat lo korchunna cinema ela untundaa ani.
Story ee patiki andariki telisipoye untadi, so nenu peddaga story gurinchi highlight cheyyadaluchukoledu. Already migilina reviews net lo padi edistunnayi kada, avi chadive untaru ani anukutunna. Jalsa is my first and probably last movie review written in telugu. PK (Pavan Kalyan) meeda unna craze kosam naa own review rastunna and I feel it's worth writing anukutunna. Ee review ni copy kottandi, permission granted, but meeru na site ni dobbukoni poyaru anna link add cheyandi.

Seat lo korchunna, opening fight kosam wait chesa. PK taagi fight chestadu. Fight baane undi. PK fight lo dialogue - chotu fight chestunnapudu vadi head idi rod, vadi head idi rod anna dialogue janalaki baaga ekkestadi. Audio songs vinnaka "Chalore chal chal" manchi inspirational solo song anukunna..Adi opening song ayyunte bagundedi..but that Bhalle bhalle song was the first song. Effective ga ledu. By this time, cinema chodalanna tension, PK screen meeda ela chestunnadu anna tension settle ayipendi. First half lo oka comedy scene madhyalo oka serious scene,
malli oka comedy and oka serious scene, serious ante ade - Mukesh Rishi vaadi story, enti vaadi activities chopista and madhyalo heroines introduction tho time pass chesestadu.

Heriones Parvathi Melton and Ileana unna vishyam telsinde. Parvathi melton super ga undi.Manchi color ga undi ee cinemalo. Gorgeous anachu. Ileana kanna glamour lo Parvathi Melton chala dominating ga undi. Ileana ni jeddi daani laaga project chesadu. Daaniki Colours Swathi dubbing cheppindi. Ok ga undi dubbing. Already Pk ki Ileana sister Kamalini Mukherjee tho love fail ayipoddi. So manodu ammayilani peddaga pattinchukodu. And Melton and Ileana, PK meeda flat ayipotaru. PK ki teledu Ileana is his ex-girl friend sister ani. Second half lo aa vishyam telustadi.Ileana ki PK ki love start avuddi first half lone. Much waited romantic "My heart is beating" song start. Naa venakaala janalu kagitaalu tega egarestunnaru. Evitra ee newspaper ani choste, avi AIEEE physics coaching material. Naku aythe taking antha effective ga anipinchaledu aa song ki. Audio vinnappudu I was expecting PK to do a romantic hero kind of role in this song. But song antha indoor lone. First pallavi ayipoye varaku PK aa song lo kanipinchadu. Matter eti ante, this song's video did not compliment the melodious audio.

Sunil comedy first half lo pedda variety ga anipinchaledu and at the same time bagaledu analemu. It's fine and his friend Trivikram cinemalo Sunil ki epudu manchi character vastundi. Mukesh Rishi will be hunting Pk in this film. So city lo PK kanipistadu. So to take revenge on PK, villain's gang will kidnap PK's friend, Ali. Chasing bane undi and fight is also fine. Uttej, PK's friend, advices PK not to intervene with Mukesh Rishi. Uttej antadu, neekenti ra vadu ninna chase chestadu, neetho paatu mammalni koda champestadu, neekenti ra maa kastalu gurinchi telusu antadu.Anthe. Porapaatuna Uttej kastalu annanduku, maaku cheptadayya PK dialogue lu, ornainoo...chirak dobbestadi..nenu okkapudu Naxalite thokka thotakoora antadu....itika raayi ichukoni current pole ni kottestadu kopam tho. Current pole blast ayipoyi, padipoddi...aa lighting lo Intermission.

Chaala cinemalu first baaga teesi second half bokka ettestaru. So idi koda second half bad emo anukunna.Kani ala ledu, baane undi. Second half lo PK and Ileana love building scenes pick up avutayi. Notable point eti ante, Brahamanandam highlight comedy. Rendu scene lu baga navvistayi. Adi cinemaki baaga help avutundi in collections department. Same sitting setting and Brahmanandam enters the scene only to get slapped. Potta chekka layye la hall lo nenu navvadam ide first time. Venky train lo comedy chala hit ayyindi. Kani nenu Venky hall lo chodaledu. But Brahmanandam is doing very well in his acting at the flag of his career. He is being utilised by directors properly oflate. Inka second half Pk flash back, PK - Prakash Raj interaction baane untundi. Jalsa title song timely gane undi.Flashback lo ekkuva torture cheyyaledu. Climax mammole.PK will take revenge on Mukesh Rishi but doesn't kill
him. Mahesh babu first lo cheppina dialogue yuddam - satruvu - odinchadam - repeat chestadu. Humanity ani cheppi villain ni champakunda vadilestadu.

Cinemaki baaga plus enti ante already hit ayina audio and Pavan Kalyan ease tho chesina comedy. Kushi lo unnanta over action cheyyaledu. PK ila undali ala undali ani expect cheyyakunda velthe baane untundi cinema. Kaani janalu ala expect cheyyakunda undaleru, still PK has done good job in the comedy section. Dances pedda ga cheppako dagga levu. Fights baagane unnayi. Just as Trivkram's other film Athadu, ee cinema credit koda Director ke veltundi. Dialogues as usual crisp ga unnayi. Pavan Kalyan ki final ga pedda hit vachindi after Kushi. I prefer this movie to Kushi for viewing it second time. Climax just a tad longer ani anipistundi, so anduke movie parledu anna talk vastundi. Kaani cinema parledu anna janalu ki ardam kavatledu ee cinema hit ani. Pavan Kalyan is back in business after a very long time. Can he sustain annadi we have to wait and see.
Bottomline: Trivikram - Pavan Kalyan combination in the making of Jalsa had finally worked!

That was a nice review, but you gave more of a positive one! I am no great fan of PK, but do love his histrionics; however, the movie has had no good impact on me. It’s been a long time since this chap has shown his acting prowess, for, he is concentrating more on fight sequences. Take Johnny, for example; that script, sans songs though, would have suited a Van Damme or Steven Segal, not a romantic Telugu hero like PK. Even in Jalsa, the fights are too much. Adding fun are two types of fight sequences – one imagination and then the original one. I was getting scared if there is any stick or rod near this fella; don’t know when he’d pick it up and thrash the goons.
The film lacked a solid story, first; the music is very soulful and performances from Sunil, Ileana & Prakash Raj are exemplary. Before the interval, PK tells Uttej that he struggled a lot and became a naxal; we expect a serious story in the latter half but it turns out to be a laugh riot between PK & PR. Bramhanandam is the most misused character in the film for me; there’s nothing great about his role except the Pokiri style introduction. Trivikram added his punch lines as usual. There’s one line when the hero’s father consumes the same pesticide which he uses for his crop; Mahesh Babu quips in the background that the pesticide didn’t work for the crop but worked for this guy.
Overall, a bearable film – there’s a warning to people who didn’t see – DO NOT WATCH IT WITH HUGE EXPECTATIONS! Second time goers said that they liked the film more than they did first; and the reason is that they already knew what was in store, so they enjoyed each and every dialogue. Maybe, my opinion on the film would change too, if I watch it another time, but I just cant think of sitting for 3 hours again for this movie.

I think that's Trivikram style of taking in this film. He wanted to narrate the story on a lighter vein and hence the lack of seriousness in the second half. Had it been more serious, you would complain that "second half flash back lo saavagottadu ra babu".
Yep, that one liner about the pesticide not working for the crop but for the man was the stand out one. I had seen the movie second time and definitely it was not thrilling when I already knew what was in store.
Din't expect you to write a feedback on this movie, knowing that you are not a big fan of PK. Nice to see your comments.
