Jalsa

Jalsa

First day, First show…I was initially apprehensive about going to Pavan Kalyan’s movie as I did not have any particular opinion about him and moreover there were the crazy fan associations to think of. But finally we landed at the theatre totally enticed by Devi’s rocking tunes. The cool songs and energetic beats had me wishing to check out the picturization as soon as possible and BOY, it sure was awesome. Trivikram, the director truly knows how to captivate his audience. In this movie we have Pavan jiving with 3 dames and bashing up villains with equal ease.

So starting off with the hero- Pavan excels in his role of an ex-naxalite who’s trying to lead a normal life and u’ve got to believe he actually has 3 degrees in the flick!!! He underplays his character and the story gives him optimum space to showcase varied emotions (after many days you actually get to see his acting prowess). The comedy scenes featuring him, Prakash Raj and Brahmanandam are the highlights.

You also get to see trivikram’s trademark fights (with the villains oozing blood at every possible opportunity) and the punch lines are perfect. Kaamalinee Mukherji features in a short cameo as pavan’s first love and she looks really cute. Parvati Melton doesn’t have much to do either but she does look sophisticated and suave. The toast of the movie is Ileana. This girl from Goa gets a very decent role and she manages to look innocent and sexy at the same time. Her habit of ‘being 10secs late every time’ is funny and her expressions and acting sure have improved a lot.

The music is another thing to rant and rave about- Devi has definitely matched up to his previous superhit audios like bommarillu and varsham. He gives us very fresh and fun songs and u’ll find urself humming them in no time. There are no double entendres and it’s nice to see that there haven’t been too many censor cuts either. The climax actually comes as a surprise and those who expect a dhamaka fight in the end could be disappointed. Mahesh babu’s voiceover suits the entire situation especially when there are any intense scenes. So he probably could take up this job too.

I wouldn’t like to reveal the story line as the movie has released only today and any spills could spoil the enjoyment.

It’s a movie worth watching with the whole family and I can still find myself recalling some of the dialogues and laughing out loud. Go watch it and have fun. It’s not always that u get to watch 3 heroines with one hero in a clean entertainer!!!
