Appudo Ippudo - Music of Bommarillu

Still not out of Bommarillu effect, here is the song from the film sung by Siddharth Narayan. He has done a fantastic job as brilliant as a professional playback singer. A small video of half the song is also there to watch and enjoy!!! :-) Its an excellent song in terms of picturisation, music, lyrics and performance by Siddharth and Genelia...

07 - Appudo Ippudo...

Bommarillu - Love Makes Life Beautiful

I got a chance to watch Bommarillu(Trans: Doll House) atlast, and I really regret for the delay ;-)

Once for all, all bad thoughts and assumptions about Telugu Cinema are erased from my mind today. Such pure and feel good films show the real face of Telugu Cinema which is often looked into through the mask of junk masala and violent films, I mean films that are violent on the audience :-D
The story revolves around three main characters. Siddu(Siddarth), his overprotective father(Prakashraj) and Haasini(Genelia). Prakashraj, who confines his son within all his likes and dislikes-to the extent of how he should eat his food-fixes up his marriage with a girl of his choice.

Inspite of his engagement, Siddu is firm in his policy that "my dad can decide anything for me except two-my career and my marriage". He meets Haasini, an amazing character who loves anything everything around her. They both fall in love much to the fury of Prakashraj.

Now Siddu has 3 major tasks:
1) Making his father accept Haasini
2) Break his engagement with the girl of his father's choice and
3) Making Haasini's father accept him(as he already has a bad impression on him)

The rest of the film deals with how Siddu successfully does all these three tasks. Though this sounds like a hero's film, the pivotal character surprisingly is Haasini and anyone will instantly fall in love with this character.

Performance wise, Siddarth does a very good job proving all his talents, and a special treat is the song "Appudo Ippudo" sung by Siddarth himself. He is just excellent. Prakashraj who normally does villainous roles is totally different in this film, where his character is a villain for others. Again an excellent performance. And all other actors are a very good supporting cast.
But the life of the film is Haasini aka Genelia who simply excels with an outstanding performance. Her innocent, cheerful and child-like character is so much believable, that it is too difficult to imagine any other actress in her role.

Major plus points in the film, camera work, editing and music by Devi Sri Prasad. Songs are simply outstanding, and never ever you will find the film boring while wathcing. Not even for a minute!!!

A final word: Remaking this film in any langauage is like killing a beautiful child and making any other actress enact Haasini's character is nothing but character assasination!!!

I now understand why this film got so many positive and rave reviews all over.. Hats off to the director Bhaskar!!!

Bommarillu Gallery

Video for this week....

This is one of my most favorite Malayalam songs. The video without dance, vulgarity and heavy beats is a lesson for the contemporaries in Kolly, Tolly and Bolly woods that duet songs can be picturised in this way too... ;-) Not to forget the picturesque Kerala locations in the song... :-)

Jammin - An old favorite: Part 2

Yet another favorite song of mine from Jammin series. I would say this is the best among all of them. Yeah, its sung by Sagarika Soni and Strings, with music done by Strings. Do listen and enjoy!!! :-)
