Oosaravelli

Before the release of AGENT of AKHIL AKKINENI , this was I think the worst output from the director. Honestly no scene except the Hero's intro picks the interest. After watching Devara I started to binge watch all his movies and came across this one in youtube and god o god this film shows how a film is not to be made. The Heroine was miscast and doesn't suit well the overweight-NTR. The comedy timing is utterly bitter and I don't even think for once that the director thought about writing the story. The fights were physics -ko-chod type and this film's pace bores you to death. I also watched some of the good products from the director but till I watch the AGENT , this film is the worst of the worst.

I watched the movie today and last night one of my friends warned me against watching the movie as he said he heard extremely negative reviews. So, I started watching the movie with some skepticism and even then I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Jr NTR was amazing and the shades in his character amply justify the title (Oosaravelli - Chameleon).

Oosaravelli's theme revolves around revenge but it has been handled in an extremely gripping and entertaining manner. Twists and turns at different points of time always keep you on the edge of your seats. What was the most interesting was the shades of grey in Jr NTRs character.

Tamanna is the protagonist in the movie who has a mysterious past and is seeking revenge for something that happened in her life. Jr NTR keeps on bumping bad guys at the drop of a hat. How their paths cross and the love blossoms forms the essence of the story. I would not want to say anything more. Please watch in the big screens ... it is a movie meant for the big screen ... with its amazing locales, photography and special effects. Songs are a highlight for the film even though some of them were ill-placed in the movie. That was the only drawback in my opinion. The second half could have been shorter ...

Tony (NTR) is a wily youngster who does illegal things for money. He falls in love with Niharika (Tamanna) during a freak incident. He keeps following her and proposing to her. But she is engaged to some other rich guy. Tony has a secret mission and he is in hot pursuit of somebody. The rest of the story is all about the love story between the lead pair and how Tony achieved his mission.

NTR has shown inclination and flair to venture into the path less travelled with the character of Tony. He is very good in entertainment episodes where his fear turns into nightmare for the others (credit should be given for writing team as well). His dialogues are different in this movie. He gave the much needed massy dialogue in the climax episode. His performance in the flashback episode is excellent.

Tamanna has done an important role in the movie. Her performance in the flashback with short haircut is superb. Prakash Raj has done the role of main villain who makes an entrance only in the second half.

Music by Devi Sri Prasad is an asset. The best song of the movie in my opinion is Sri Anjaneyam that comes in the flashback. There is lot of force and emotion in that song. Cinematography by Rasool Ellore is slick. Dialogues by Koratala Shiva are good. Fights composed by Ram - Laxman are good. S Ravinder's art director is apt

First half of the film is nice with decent entertainment. The foundation of the story which comes in the second half should have been stronger. However, the Tamanna's story in the flashback episode is heart-touching and emotional. The climax should have been crisp. The plus points of the movie are NTR and different screenplay.

Overall,Its a different attempt from usual NTR Films !!!!!Great !!!!

performance wise hero and heroine are superb... direction excellent.. story is mixed up with some English films but it is very special for fans and other audience.. songs are plus for the film overall It is a very good film not like an routine film.... 1st half is full entertainment 2nd half carries whole story.. director succeeded in catching the audience attention.. it is very rare in films that hero and heroine having equal importance in film but this film did it... finally credit goes to hero who accepted this kind different story by keeping his image aside.. giving equal importance to heroine... director handled cleverly.....

Oh boy, this is gonna be tough. Tony (NTR) and Niharika (Tamanna) are kidnapped by terrorists in Kashmir. They somehow manage to escape from there. Tony follows Niharika to Hyderabad, and makes her fall in love with him. At the same time, he is also plotting to destroy a gang of goons. The rest of the story deals with establishing why he is after the goons, and how Niharika is involved in all of this.

Verdict: Its one hell of a movie. Whether you take it positively or negatively is your choice. It was a different film, alright, but could have been dealt with in a much better way, A strong motive in the flashback episode would have done wonders to the film. Its good to see a heroine oriented film in Telugu. Though its all and out NTR film, the narrative is based on Tamanna's character. Plus points are NTR (not the fatso), Tamanna, good music and excellent cinematography. Though the movie was long, it dint feel long. On the downside is the complicated looking screenplay. Its a pretty decent watch, but everything depends on how audience reacts to such different story line. In my opinion, it is better than Dookudu (by a wafer thin margin), but am sure not all of you would agree with me.
