Keedaa Cola

Keedaa cola is a 2023 Telugu film directed by Tharun Bhascker, starring, the GOAT Brahmanandam, Chaitanya rao ( 30 weds 21) fame, Roadies Raghu, Rag Mayur, Jeevan Kumar, Vishnu and the OG's Tharun Bhascker and Jeevan Kumar. What attracts me the most is this caper genre. Movies made in this genre stands best and never disappoints, in short, these kind of films have good repetitive value. Its more like a comfort watch for the youth.

Now coming to the story, as seen in the trailer, the entire story depends on one cockroach, the trouble it caused etc, the more I say about it, less interesting it becomes. Being honest, its a routine Tharun Bhascker film ( in a positive way), his significance can be seen in the entire film. The dialogues written by him are just hilarious, literally its a laughter therapy. The camera work and editing by upendra are simply superb. The acting by the lead never felt boring and dramatic. It was perfect till the end, emotions and the intense were maintained throughout the movie. The GOAT Brahmanandam's presence is sufficient to deliver laughs.

The other thing that I liked the most are the characterisations of the cast. It was very well designed esp Tharun's character. They were dark and satirical. Mad stuff by Vivek Sagar. His mass composition , bgms added the rough / massy element in the screenplay. The baddies characters were very well suited to the actors.

Overall, its a fun watch, give your time to it , let the dopamine kick in. All the characters and the screenplay acts in the same rhythm. The 2hrs of complete madness and laugh riot will make your weekend better and will not keep you dissatisfied. So, can this be called as hat-trick for Tharun? Yes, its definitely a hat-trick for Tharun, his writings and acting made the cut. Cant say more, experience this madness in your nearest theatres. The Keeda in the cola is excited to see you'll in the theatres laughing...

The plot's simple - a bunch of greedy characters jump on a big money opportunity.

The way they've treated and presented it is pretty fresh for a Telugu film. But let's be real, the screenplay doesn't grip you as much as the makers hoped. The comedy lands in some scenes and flops in others. The pace might drag a bit at times, but it's not a snail's crawl, no siree.

Gotta give props to the director - he nailed it. Big shoutout to Tharun Bhaskar for his top-notch work.

As for the actors, Chaitanya, Rag Mayur, Jeevan, Vishnu oi and Tarun are killin' it in their roles, and Brahmanandam's tryin' out a different kind of comedy that hits in some scenes. The rest of the crew also brings their A-game.

Production design's off the hook, with world-class locations, sets, props, costumes, and makeup. Cinematography's on point, and the editing's as snazzy as a Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright flick.

The music's just okay, nothin' to write home about. If you're expectin' the moon, you might be disappointed, but if you go in with an open mind, you could dig it.

Seems like this one's more of a couch potato special than a big-screen bonanza.

Director Tharun Bhasker's greatest accomplishment is his never-ending drive to advance Telugu cinema from a technical standpoint.

It all started with Pelli Choopulu, and continued strongly with ENE. And now in Keeda Kola.

The color grading, cinematography, editing feel so familiar and instantly relatable. It's something only a few directors can pull off.

I have nothing much to say about the story or the screenplay itself. It's not memorable, just entertaining.

You can have a good time. But it's definitely not something that stands out, as it is with his previous two feature films.

Tharun has set a benchmark for indie, buddy comedy movies and he continues to surprise everyone with his casting decisions.

'Keedacola' is the latest offering in the world of crime comedy from the creative genius of Tarun Bhaskar and his exceptional team. This film is an absolute comedy treasure that beckons all moviegoers. From the opening scene to the grand finale, 'Keedacola' delivers an uninterrupted feast of laughter. In the first half, a robust storyline sets the stage for the extraordinary characterizations by Brahmanandam, Jeevan, Chaitanya, and Raghu Mayur. Each actor's performance is top-notch, and the impeccable comic timing of Tarun Bhaskar, Jeevan, Vishnu, and Shaats adds a layer of hilarity that leaves the audience in splits.

As you venture into the second half, be prepared for an uproarious comedy extravaganza. The film springs an unexpected twist that keeps the excitement alive. The comedic sequences in the second half are pure entertainment, featuring a diverse range of humor, including English comedy, references to Barbie, Jeevan's expressive acting, and more.

The film boasts superbly crafted screenplays, seamless editing, and a high level of technical finesse that contributes to its overall brilliance. The musical score by Vivek Sagar elevates the movie's ambiance to new heights. The climax twist and the behind-the-scenes insights in the second half further enhance the viewer's experience.

'Keedacola' is a laugh riot that transcends the boundaries of comedy. With minor imperfections notwithstanding, this film is a must-watch for a wide audience. Don't miss this uproarious extravaganza!

It seems like the secondary characters (or so they seemed as per introduction) dominate the story to a point where the main leads dont matter.

Bramhanandam's emotional connect doesn't matter. Him saying "we don't need money if it comes with these many problems" doesn't matter by the end as his grandson ends up with easy money anyway. His character doesnt matter by the end, same as the two leads that he is with in the movie.

In fact, all the characters needed more time to complete their arcs. The film didnt seem to know how to do it.

It seemed like threads were laid out to stitch together a good story and in the second half they were hastily tied off instead of being beautifully knitted.

With certainty, the script could've used better writers and more rewrites. The movie making is fantastic. The other departments are fantastic.
