With a good use of 3D effects for some of the action scenes and some powerful punch dialogues, the movie will satisfy the masses.it is a pure revenge oriented action drama film.

Om 3D has rich production values. Avatar fame David Taylor and The Amazing Spiderman fame Ian Markus’ 3D work is the main attraction in the technical front. These Hollywood technicians have proved that 3D in live action film will surely connect with the viewer as much as in other genres like fantasy, sci-fi, horror and supernatural.

ariyaan deals with the story of construction fishermen (Dhanush) who will be having a close bond towards sea, as it is the place where he earns his livelihood. He calls himself a ‘Prince of Ocean’. The way he earns his livelihood is shown in more adventurous way.

More than Dhanush’s love interest, Panimalar (Parvathi Menon) has played the role of a model wife, who forces Dhanush to change his job and asks him to go to Sudan.

The movie takes a turn at this movement.

No doubt Mariyaan will lend the National award for Dhanush. His sufferings on-screen, bursting and agony during emotional scenes have come out well.

Dhanush has given extraordinary performance especially in the second half, where he has to go through physical struggle.

Parvathi Menon has got a typical native look with her costumes and has maintained a good chemistry with Dhanush.

Marc Koninckx, work should be appreciated, his camera work in the under-water scene is mindblowing.

AR Rahman’s score will make the audience to keep humming even after they are out of theatre.

The slow pace of the movie helps the audience to feel the emotions for more time. It seems like director Bharath Bala has purposefully leisured the pace.

“

The movie seems to convey a message that the characters are not so important, while the place is just right for a horror movie.

One is said to be inspired from a real incident.

But in the midst, the movie drags for a continuity in the dark! It is not a ‘classic’ movie. It has scenes that are rarely seen ever in a cinema!

The movie is categorised under horror films. The haunted mansion truly describes something fishy.

All have done their roles to an optimum. There are hardly any dramatic scene, while all kinds of messages are conveyed easily.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the kind of cinema that doesn’t tempt us to share the protagonist’s life with any false hopes. We the audience are driven into a desperate urge to share Milkha’s life not only because he ran fast, but because he wasn’t afraid to stumble, falter and fall.

T

he story of super-sprinter Milkha Singh unfolds in this exceptional biopic at its own volition. There’s no effort here “to tell a story”, to create an impression or to whip up a dramatic storm to captivate audiences. The synergy in the storytelling seems subliminal.

T

he absolutely seamless editing by P. Bharathi is impressive. The film is very stylishly cut, but not at the cost of losing the simplicity and the innate ascetism of the sportsman-hero. And yes, there are songs composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, but they are so effortlessly woven into Milkha’s saga that we don’t see them as “song breaks”.

F

arhan Akhtar does the Bhangra as well as any Punjabi. Actually, he doesn’t dance. He just flows with the rhythm.

F

arhan doesn’t ‘play’ Milkha. The actor occupies Milkha’s mind, body and soul.

There are episodes in this astonishingly, well-structured biopic where Farhan’s oneness with Milkha equals Ben Kingsley’s empathy with Mahatma Gandhi in “Gandhi”.

F

arhan does the rest. And he gets tremendous support from other actors, specially Divya Dutta, who is incomparably sincere in her role. Pavan Malhotra as Milkha’s coach is as usual, first-rate.

As a devout and naive woman, she has also given brilliant performance.

Her chemistry with Gopichand will once again impress the movie buffs.

Sahasam is an unique entertainer in Telugu, which is a right blend of brilliant performances and rich production values. The movie will impress all classes of audiences except glamour and comedy lovers.

S

ahasam has excellent production values and its majestically-captured visuals are the main highlights in the technical front. Shyam Dutt’s picturisation has given a sophisticated feel to this muchhyped film.

A

special mention should be made about art direction and computer graphics, which are among the biggest strengths of the film.

GOPI CHAND T. Gopichand was born on June 12, 1979.He is more popularly known as Gopichand, is a popular Telugu film actor. He is son of revolutionary filmmaker T Krishna broke into the scene with Toli Valapu as hero. Then he did powerful villain roles in Jayam, Nijam and Varsham before getting a break as hero with Yagnam.

M

acho hero Gopichand movie released after a long gap.

His film ‘Sahasam’ has released on July 12, and he is quite excited about it. Chandrasekhar Yeleti has directed this action dventure and BVSN Prasad is the producer.

H

e was notified with mass image for his terrific performance in Ranam in 2006. In 2007 his first release Okkadunnadu became a hit, next movie Lakshyam turned out to be one of the biggest hit of the year.

Starry eyed

Interview with Gopichand It has been a while since your last film released…

Yes. It is a very long gap. I have never had this kind of a gap in my career. When we started out, we planned to complete ‘Sahasam’ in six months. But the careful detailing, the special effects and other such issues prolonged it beyond six months. But I am very happy with the final output.

Is the Sahasam story based in Pakistan?

Yeah, the hero goes to Pakistan in search of something. The story is set in the Pakistan border areas. We shot those portions in Ladakh, as it is easy to replicate the landscape and the conditions of Pakistan.

opichand bagged Nandi Award for Best Villain to Jayam Movie in 2002

WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | August 2013

When you look back at your career, ‘Mogudu’ is very different from the other movies. Did you want to come out of the action hero image?

I had great faith in Krishna Vamsi garu and I banked on him to bring me out of the action hero image. I was expecting something along the lines of ‘Ninne Pelladutha’. But it did not come out as expected and went off in a different direction.

Sentiments play a big part in the film industry. Did the team think twice before casting Tapsee?

If you look at the recent trends, heroines who had a flop image are scoring hits.

Heroines who were known for their hits are tasting defeat. So, I do not believe in this. Chandrasekhar Yeleti also insisted on Tapsee for this role.

Who stood by you during this tough phase?

I kept myself busy with this project. Apart from this, I also believe in fate.

What are your future projects ?

I will work with B.Gopal garu and with Deva Katta. Vakkantham Vamsi provided the script for B.Gopal’s film and I liked that story. Some other films are in discussion stage. I will reveal more details soon.

Will you accept negative roles again in future if they appeal to you ?

I would love to do a role which has negative shades. Rajasekhar’s ‘Talambraalu’ is a good example.

Is this the most demanding film you have worked in?

Physically, this is the most demanding film.

I learnt horse riding for 20 days in order to shoot a few scenes. Shooting in Ladakh was also tough due to the thin air in high altitudes.

How is married life?

(Smiles) It is good. It is quite different from bachelor life. I enjoyed that life all these years. Now let me enjoy this.
