Julayi

It is very disgusting to watch an "innovative" director Trivikram's "Celluloid"-Julayi.....He has joined the bandwagon of mundane directors of tollywood. Movie looks pretty good to watch for general telugu audience who have not had a glimpse of recent Hollywood blockbusters. Trivikram should have used his literary skills on authentic themes which are supposed to be developed by him. The punch liners,comedy and humor are great and are a routine feast like many of trivikram's movies.. Allu Arjun has not been fully utilized in dance...It is embarrassing to watch him walking forward for a thumping beat... Ileane is good and all cops were made fools in this movie..

Mr.Trivikram please do not let telugu cinema down with plagiarism. It is my humble request.

The best successful mantra for Telugu Directors these days.. copying from various films and "Julaayi" is no exception in this genre.

Trivikram. What Happened 2 U! Julayi is a mix bag of Hollywood Films. Allu Arjun- Sherlock Holmes. Sonu Sood- Prof.Moriarty+Joker(Dark Knight). Rajendra Prasad- Watson. Introduction Scene- Dark Knight Joker bank robbery Scene(COPY). Julayi Title Song Steps- Step Up-2(Copy). Car Chase Scene- 'Red' movie car chase scene+'2012' movie 'Car through Falling Building' scene(Copy). 'Money on fire' scene and villain calling hero- Dark Knight(Copy). Hero and Villain head 2 head scenes- The Mechanic(Theme Copy)+Sherlock Holmes'A game of Shadows'(Copy). Ileana-Jalsa characterization and Looks(Xerox Copy).

But Trivikram own talent is duologue's which is the main asset for this movie.

I love idealogy behind the movie where director want to show that happiness lies being simple and expecting less ....The director portraited the message well by using both the protagonist

Ileana-- when she was ugly she was free and happy!! After makeover she faces lots of problems even comes close to death Allu arjun--His dream to become a millionaire in very short time...realize that life is not movie! expect less live simple!!

The movie starts with quote "Even if u want buy a lottery ticket 1Lakh you have to buy with your hard earn 1 rupee". It is thought provoking statement that Everything looks easy in this globalized this world but nothing comes easy !!"

The star cast in the film is almost same has as 2004 flick Athadu but still the director tried to keep the freshness in the film.

The technical aspects, songs, allu arjun acting main strong points...Sonu sood also performed very well.They were many characters in the movie which stay for very short time which was for two or three frames.

Negatives aspects--100% of the guess allu arjun makes in one go becomes true..which is not even close to realistic

--They was no conclusion to actress character

It worth watching for goofy dialogues and comedy scenes which were trademark for trivikram from years of his filmography !! Brahmandanam performance was good as usual!!

MY RATING 9/10

After the disaster of khaleja (commercially) Director Trivikram Srinivaas came with a beautifully molded Crime action comedy. Allu Arjun with a different look and ease in his performances took the film to a different level. The story revolves around a robbery committed by an ex-minister who want to spent the money in his next elections. Unfortunately,the money was missed and the antagonist caught by police with the help of Protagonist. The antagonist ego hurts. How the protagonist fought with the bad ass and surrender the stolen money to police is the remaining story. As usual the punchy dialogues of writer cum director Trivikram Srinivas was nice and crisp. The music of Devi Sri Prasad was perfect match to the director vision. And the last, A perfect mind game.

Julayi is Trivikram's Magic all the way, he deserves 100% accolades for his story telling , dialogues and screenplay. The first half of the movie runs at a decent pace and entertains you thoroughly with Trivikram's punch dialogues in comedy. The second half has good comedy as well with action . The movie lacks the romantic scenes between the lead pair and definitely Illeana failed to give a glamorous performance. Though we will feel that there is lack of gripping scenes and most of the things happen very easily for the hero, one of the scene to mention which describes the whole AP State police is helping him without any proper reasoning or logic and you will feel disconnected from the movie a bit and is not convincing but given the entertainment quotient we can ignore them.

Julayi has all the elements to become a Super Hit or Even a Blockbuster if it was more gripping and had some emotions to it, Telugu Audience likes emotions and sentiments which were totally missing here . It would have been nice to see some gripping sequences but the Director main concentration was on Entertainment and he delivered it with fulfillment. Some of the scenes in the movie does not exhibit the necessary logic but things always happen in favor of the Hero.

The entertainment portion of the movie is on par with the blockbusters like Dhookudu and Gabbar Singh, and Julayi has all the ingredients of a successful movie. It has all the commercial elements of a successful movie and will definitely become one of the Best in Allu Arjuna nd Trivikram's career so far.
