Kshana Kshanam

Hai! I have seen this movie (In fact this is the one I have repeatedly seen number of times!!) and a fantastic work by Varma. It's the perfect blend of talented screenplay, music, artists (specially Sridevi).

In my opinion, it's a remake (or else an inspiration - a polished name for copy!!) of the English movie "Romancing the Stone" and many of the scenes are direct copy of the above one.

Excellent Work by Keeravani (Music) and Editing. Between each scene the director allow the viewer to guess and fill the gaps. It's really an excellent style and new to Indian cinema.

Paresh Rawal is at his best. BGM is also good. The song "Jamurathiri" is an evergreen melody in Telugu.

Times when RGV mania happened in the south. One of his best work but never got the due attention for this breezy entertainer. I'm still puzzled to see this movie do below average business despite great performances by the lead. RGVs second best movie after Shiva before he moved to Bollywood.

I watched this in Satyam theatre in Hyderabad for the first time. Must have watched hundred times so far.. Never got bored, everything about this movie is perfect- Acting, direction, music, cinematography.. I feel this was well ahead of its time. Sridevi did an amazing job as Satya- very innocent and smart same time.. She looked like a dream in the songs..

Seven star only for Sri devi , best as always. The movie is ok not up to the mark of RGV in 90*s no doubt in 2021 RGV no more is in the league. I watched this movie in 2021 whereas it was made in 90*s may be in that time the movie was liked by audience. Songs were Unnecessarily put when not required. Any RIP Sri we miss you.

No other Telugu picture have I watched as many times as "Kshana Kshanam." A thoroughly enjoyable film, "Kshana Kshanam" was now veteran director Ramgopal Varma's second feature after his path-breaking "Shiva."

A character driven movie with an interesting plot, this movie has a lot going for it. Brilliant, close-to-life performances by the lead actors lent the film's rather fictional storyline a sense of authenticity and believability.

Venkatesh and Sridevi share a fine on-screen chemistry and both do a commendable job. I consider Sridevi's performance in this film to be one of her career best after "Sadma". Then, of course, there was Paresh Rawal's impeccable portrayal of the neurotic bad-guy which just blew my mind away. His 'Nair' role is arguably one of the best villain parts in any Indian film since 'Gabbar Singh' in "Sholay". A treat watching Rawal here in all his acting glory.

Ramgopal Varma's screenplay is precise leaving no room for unnecessary fillers. Every scene is an integral part of the story, including the songs which are melodious, witty & nicely choreographed and definitely one of the film's highlights. Varma's direction is special as always in the sense that he lets his actors take the story forward for us spectators. Varma the actor's director sticks to his forte and delivers a smasher!

Indian or not, Varma fan or not, watch this film now. I say this is a great film and in two hours and thirty minutes you'll be nodding your head in agreement with me.
