Mission Accomplished


Finally, the movie I was waiting for almost 6 months now released over the weekend. I guess you all know what I am talking about. Yes, that is Chirutha. Well, my title for this post tells you what’s the result of Chirutha is.

I wont dwell too much on the story because…….WHO CARES for a story in a movie like this. AGREED. Ram Charan does not score too well on the looks front BUT he has amazing screen presence. He almost excelled in all the categories considering this is his FIRST FILM. I would rather say, during my short stint of life so far, he made a perfect debut any hero would dream of in TFI.

Ram Charan has the PLEASURE of instant fan following, BUT on the other hand he has immense PRESSURE of being the ONLY SON of a MEGASTAR. With this movie, I guess he lived up to the expectations. A little bit of rawness seen here and there would be polished with time.

I cannot stop myself from writing the following. I have heard so many comments saying that CHIRUTHA is a total trash movie and there is nothing in it except for songs and fights. Well, THAT IS TRUE. But to all my friends out there, I would like to make a point here.

Each and every movie has a label attached to it, i.e., a purpose of making that movie. For example, Pokiri was made to entertain the crowds not to bring realism. Can anyone show me a person who behaves like POKIRI? It’s a fictional character and the movie was made to entertain the crowds using that character.

Then, Bommarillu. This movie was made dealing with a common problem seen in every other house. You can not bring any fiction into a story like this. Sri Ramadasu and Annamayya were made with real characters. You cannot expect mass songs and fights in these. Can you?

Well, if you cannot read that LABEL attached to that movie, then please do yourself a FAVOUR. DO NOT WATCH THAT MOVIE ON THE FIRST DAY / WEEKEND. Wait for the feedback or TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THE LABEL.

I cannot help myself from laughing out my heart if you mention to me that the MOVIE WAS AWFUL. Hmmmm, what can I say? Did you go to a Megastar’s ONLY SON debut movie on the first day / weekend expecting a NEW STORY and VARIETY TREATMENT which by the way can go either way with the crowds. Do you think any father who is trying to launch his son with his brain at the right place would do that?

Chirutha was made to launch a hero from the FIRST FAMILY of TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY. And as per TFI constitutional rules, A HERO IS A PERSON WHO CAN DO THESE AMAZING THINGS WHICH A NORMAL PERSON WOULD ASPIRE TO DO IN THEIR DREAMS. Going by this Ram Charan has done full justice to what was expected of him and lived up to the expectations. It is a very rare scenario where a debut hero had carried the entire film on his shoulders.

Go, Watch it if you want to see some good dances, fights and if you are eager to see how Megastar’s son performed on his debut. If not, please help yourself.

Chirutha Audio



Finally the audio of the most awaited movie of the year is out. Here is short glimpse at what Charan has offered us in the first installment.

1. Yamaho Yammaa... 3.75 / 5

Song starts slowly and builds the tempo which suits best for a dance number. There seems to be Himesh Reshamiyya’s influence on this song especially on the hindhi lyrics. Good song to start an album with. Mani Sharma neither disappoints nor excels in this song. He did his job and now it is upto Charan and Puri to complete the job.

2. Love U raa... 3 / 5

Here comes another Puri and Krishna Vamsi’s trade mark BEACH song. Nice melody as interludes. This is the only song which more or less falls into soft melody. Definetly could have been better.

3. Yenduko pichi pichi ga nachaave.... 3.5/5

This reminds of a situational youth song. Starts with the same guitar beat as in "Avunu Nijam" song in Athadu. Mani should have avoided this.

Rough ga vundey oka kurraaadu, oka ammaayini chusi one-side prema lo padi soft ga tayarayyi aame chuttu tirigi tirigi, aame enthaki padakakunda pose kottadam tho, koncham visugocchi aa abbayi vesukunna song idhi.

High Energy undhi song lo and best suits for few Teen Maar steps in between.

4. Champaka Champaka..... 3 / 5
This would have been a sure shot chartbuster if only the tune was a little more catchy. Orchestrization chaala bagundhi kaani ,Tune anta catchy ga ledhu.

Again dance ki ekkuva scope vundhi along with picturization.

5. MaarO Maaro....... 4.5/5

Excellent Opening...Racha Racha beat song..Hit song of the album. I am sure none of MEGA FANS would be in their searts for this song. Okalliddaru fanatics aithe battalu chimpukunna aascharyam ledhu on the first day morning show.

On the flip side ee range beats ki repu on-screen steps match kaaledu antey asalukey mosam vastundhi. I am sure this would be one of the few telugu songs which is gonna rock dance floor’s in the near future.

6. Kanniti..... ????

Yedava Sodhi Bit song. Acts as lump in the throat after listening to Maaro Maaro song.

7. Ivvale..... 3.25/5

Song takes-off like a rock song but something is surely missing. A fast paced song but after the first charanam song just falls flat. It’s so sad that they let go off a sure shot winner again.

8. Innalla dooram...... ?????

Yet another sad bit song. They should have avoided these two sodhi sad songs atleast in the audio album.

Overall ga cheppali antey :
1. Complete dance oriented songs. There is a huge talk that charan is a step above Allu Arjun in dances. Audio further supplements the talk. It will be a litmus test for Charan in dances. It all depends on his dances now.

2. I kind of expected few mass songs. Kaani Mass kante youth ki baaga nache album idhi

3. I can’t help but observe the careless attitude of the protoganist which is seen in almost all of Puri Jagannath’s movies. Careless attitude, nirlakshyam, pogarubothu tanam anni ee songs lo kudaa vunnayi. Hopefully the movie is also on the same lines.

4. A little more care on “Champaka Champaka” and “Ivvale” song would have made them sure shot winners.

But again, Puri is one of the very few directors now in TFI who wraps a movie in a very short time. And the kind of music he extracts in that short period is amazing.

5. Okka feel good, romantic number vuntey this would have been a full meals, but still I am not complaining.

6. Koncham hindhi songs influence could be seen.

Final Word:
Mani Sharma icchina music ki if Charan can match even 50% in steps then I am sure MEGA FANS would proudly lap him as “CHIRUTHAnayudu" and make him the Yuvaraja for the dance samrajyam which his dad has built over the years.

Good Luck Charan !!!

Aata is now Chirutha


Now more dope on Aata. When Harish Shankar was removed as the director from Aata, he took the same story to his friend Puri Jagannadh and requested him to produce the movie. Puri was so impressed with the story that he took the story and made some changes and gave a narration to Chiru. Chiru was so impressed with the story that he asked Puri to launch his son Ram Charan through that story.

Harish Shankar might be extremely happy as his story was chosen by Megastar himself for his son's debut. Also, it would get him a good break if Chirutha turns out to be a hit.

So finally, Aata is now being made as Chiruta. Kahani mein twist haa !!!
