She’s the only reason I managed to make it through watching Alludu Seenu.
I am also huge fan of Samantha, I will seriously watch any movie if it has Samantha in it.
I am serious about that though, none of my friends like Chaitanya at all, and sometimes it seems like Akhil, his brother, has more fans than him. I have a also been a fan of Naga Chaitanya ever since I saw Ye Maaya Chesave and 100 % Love though it sometimes seems like I’m the only one ?. I am a huge fan of Mahesh Babu though I make sure to watch all the big star movies in Telugu. I also occasionally watch Hindi movies and some Tamil dubbed movies. I have watched Telugu movies all my life since my mom is Telugu. My name is Thomas James aka TJ and I am a sophomore in college right now. I’ve commented on here a few times but I’ve never really introduced myself. (I’m grinning at the idea of me, a Malayali woman, getting to know about which Malayalam film to watch from a couple of westerners. As Huma asks him in the end after Nawazuddin dies, ‘What will you live for, now?’ He is so consumed by hatred that it blazes within him, even as he goes through the chore of living. That scene with Radhika Apte in the bedroom had me cowering – it was such intelligent cruelty. It is all the more chilling for being so. His rage is the sort that sits and ferments, not just the immediate anger that drives one to kill at once, but the coldblooded sort that allows him to abide his time, never once allowing his goal out of his sight. ? Anyway, my reading of Varun’s character in that film was that it was only his quest for the real killer (as he thinks) that keeps him alive. I thoroughly enjoyed Badlapur and my husband can totally understand how the quest for revenge can keep a man going for 15 years or more. Liak was the man who, in the heat of the moment shot and killed Misha, although he never confesses, insisting that he was just the driver. After his wife’s murder, Raghu becomes a haunted and driven man, obsessed with finding Liak’s partner whom he believes fired the fatal bullet. While one of the robbers manages to escape, Liak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is left to face the music. During the subsequent chase Robin falls out of the car, while Misha is shot and killed. However in the background there is a robbery, and as the two criminals leave the bank they force their way into a car parked outside where Misha (Yami Gautam) is just loading in her young son and her groceries. The first few minutes are brilliantly filmed, with a shot of a street, with people going their everyday business and the only sounds heard the traffic going past and snatches of conversations as vegetables are bought and gossip exchanged. A rather obvious metaphor but one which is very effective.īadlapur is a darker film where the lines between right and wrong are blurred and revenge is shown to be a weight dragging Raghu down.
Most of the film is shot with dull and muted colours, but once a flashback sequence starts, explaining what has happened to Harsha to turn him into this cold and methodical man, suddenly the colours are full and rich. His actions seem to be at odds with his day-to-day life as a piano teacher, however once Inspector Alexander comes to call it becomes clear Harsha was the victim of a crime.
At the start we don’t know if he is a good guy or a serial killer, as without any explanation he systematically tortures and kills a man in his plastic coated cellar. The film begins with Harsha’s revenge and it’s not until later that we discover why he has been driven to this extreme.
He’s paired with a younger officer, the more impetuous Ramachandran (Vinay Forrt) and the two make a good team. Sreenivasan plays a respected police officer who has an unfortunate dislike of autopsy although there is nothing lacking in his detective skills. The story of Theevram is told in a non-linear fashion, and is actually based on a couple of real life murder cases.
