BUJJIGAADU (made in chennai) movie *ing Prabhas review

Cinegola rating: *___ Avoidable (1 star)

Tagline: Bujji will make our brain Bajji

Strengths: Prabhas and Mohan Babu

Weaknesses: Story

Must see scenes: Nothing special to mention

Must avoid scenes:

1. Entire movie if possible

2. Comedy bits of Ali

My analysis: Bujjigadu - made in Chennai doesn’t have anything special in it except the name Puri Jagannath who spoiled the entire movie. Bujjigadu is built on a very silly and thin story line which will not appeal to the mass audiuence. It is a complete mass masala movie from Prabhas who gave good performance. Mohan Babu is the real saviour of the movie who actually tried to make Bujjigadu a big success but failed miserably due to the story line.

Performances: Prabhas has again given a powerful mass performance in Bujjigadu like his earlier movies Chatrapathi, Yogi and Munna. He did his routine performance and there is nothing different or variation in his action, dialogues and emotion.

Trisha is slowly converting her image from a girl next door to a modern, posh girl. She started this image shift from Stalin and continued with Krishna and reached to a higher level in this movie. She is seen in deep neck tops and micro mini skirts in most of the scenes and songs in Bujjigadu.

Sanjana, a new heroine is totally wasted in this movie. She acts as the younger sister to Trisha but has nothing much to perform.

Mohan Babu as the powerful mafia don did his role in his own Mohan Babu style. He is the only saving grace of the movie. He essayed his role with his own style of dialogue delivery. He looks cool and stylish in this movie.

Kota Srinivas Rao and his sons Chatrapathi Katraaj, Ajay and Subbaraju are the villans in Bujjigadu who are again routine.

Other characters like Sunil, MS Nanrayana and Ali could not bring laughter or life to the movie.

Music by Sandeep Chowta is just average. He tried to mix his bollywood talent with telugu nativity but failed miserably in it. Even the visuals couldnt add any grace to the music. The entire music and songs are fast and confusing.

Fights by Vijayan are routine. The bad part is that we get to see Prabhas flying too much in the fights which is not the trend now.

Story by Puri Jagannath is the worst part in the entire movie called Bujjigadu. I dont understand and am also not able to digest the fact that a person who made a superhit movie like Pokiri can also make a movie like Bujjigadu. How did he select this story line of love between 10 years old kids ????

I personally feel that Puri Jagannath has totally wasted the excellent talents of Prabhas, Mohan Babu, Kota Srinivas Rao, Ajay and Trisha by making them a part of this movie.

When story is so bad what can we talk about the direction or dialogues. Both are below average.

Story: Bujjigadu alias Linga Raju (Prabhas) and Chitti (Trisha) are childhood lovers who decide to talk with each other after 12 years because of a small fight between them. Bujji runs away from home and comes back after 12 years searching for his Chitti. Chitti also searches for Bujji. Meanwhile, Bujjigadu takes money from Machi Reddy (Kota Srinivas Rao) and his sons to kill Siva Anna (Mohan Babu), but later realizes that Sivanna is the brother of Chitti. How Bujjigadu wins his long lost love and also how Sivanna and Bujjigadu take revenge on their enemies from the remaining part of the story.

Cast: Prabhas, Trisha, Sanjana, Mohan Babu, Kota Srinivas Rao, Sunil, MS Narayana, Subbaraju, Ajay, Ali, Mumaith Khan (item number) and many others
