Oopiri

Oopiri/Thozha:

Having said that it is an Official adaption of a great French Movie "The Intouchables" which is truly inspired from Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and his French-Algerian caregiver Abdel Sellou, director Vamsi Paidipally has taken utmost care in rewriting it in Indianised style so that it can sync with the audience here. I won't say the plot because those who watched the French or English version they would have known it and at-least it would be a surprise for those who didn't watch it. So let us maintain that.

First of all it is first of its kind film for our South film industry. The Brother Bonding, BroCode, Bromance, BroComedy between Karthi & Nagarjuna are simply amazing. I truly wonder Nagarjuna has become too choosy in selecting scripts after his historical debacle Bhai, he even promised to audience he will never make such films and now with this movie he is sticking srongly to his word. People might think it is an easy role for Nagarjuna to just sit & act on a wheel chair, but it is really difficult to act like this with not even a bit of movement in his hands or legs. He has passionately acted in this film and he enjoyed acting in this role. Literally he gave meaning to this role. He is definitely a inspiration to Senior & younger generation heroes now. This film makes Karthi's straight debut in Tollywood, he did a splendid job and especially his comic timing is so funny at times. With this, his place will also be cemented here too. No doubt now he will be flooded with many offers here. Tammanah, Prakash raj, Jayasudha, Ali, Gabriella & Kalpana have got apt roles. Even tammanah's own dubbing is very good in the movie.

Vamsi rediscovered himself by beautifully adapting the story. There is a entirely a contrast between this movie & his previous works. He has done a tremendous work for this film. Of course comparisons from everywhere starts because it is a adaption but he delivered his best effort. Dialogues by Abburi are heart touching. Each and every scene has class performance that makes you cry & laugh at a time. It is impossible to make a film like this,it is just PVP Cinema has handpicked all the technicians & cast properly and has done a commendable job. Music by Gopi Sunder is splendid & situational. The only odd in the movie is, length of the film and second half narration is bit slow.

Great story, great star cast, great cameos(Surprise !!), great technicians & great crew has made Oopiri watchable. If you ask me to define Oopiri film, my answer goes likes this: "Oopiri is celebration of life, celebration of companionship, celebration of friendship, celebration of love, celebration of emotions and the list goes on... " I cannot say more, the film must be experienced.

I have watched The Intouchables a long time ago and I loved that movie for its depiction of the relationship between the Wealthy man and his care taker. When I heard it was being remade, I initially thought that the movie won't make it good on screen. But after seeing the movie, my thought changed completely!

Pros:

Altered Script - the main theme of the movie stays the same. But the way the script has been adjusted to suit the South Indian Audience deserves a mention. Also, there was no considerable lag in the screenplay.

Dialogs - Deserves the applause! Easily the backbone of the movie. The dialogs weren't melodramatic but was sentimental at some places and brought humor to the screen when required.

Casting - Pretty much good. Karthi-Nagarjuna combo steals the show here!

Cons: Ooops!! Sorry nothing to mention. I was just happily enjoying the movie and failed to notice tiny flaws.

This is one of the most credibly remade movie ever in South Indian cinema. Watch it and enjoy the experience.

A nice feel good movie which engages the attention for most of the part. Well acted, tightly edited with good screen play, story and minimal masala (but high on Entertainment), this movie has lot going in its favor to make it worthwhile watch.

Unlike many other films, the producers have credited the source as remake of a French movie, rather than lifting and passing it off as their creation.

Karthi as the aimless parolee with a tough exterior covering a caring person is standout. He carries the weight of the movie and is a scene stealer. Giving him good company is Nagarjuna who is charming as the invalid bound to wheel chair. He has to use his face and eyes especially to express the emotions as per the role and greatly complements Karthi. Others in the cast like Tamannah etc give good support.

The scenes in Paris and external locations are well shot and add a interesting dimension to the plot.

Big Thumbs up!

Vamshi Paidipally's Thozha is a feel-good film. If you're stressed or even not in a good mood, this is strictly for you. It's great to see a film that has everything to attract all types of audiences. From fun-loving comedies to tear-dropping emotional scenes, Thozha has everything to make your day perfect. The film focuses on the main plot right from the beginning without any diversions. Vamshi's writing creates magic on screen especially in those brilliant emotional scenes that are not exaggerated at all. The characters are rightfully established without any delays and enters us into their fun and emotional journey. This visually pleasing drama works marvelously because of the exceptional performances of the lead actors. Our eyes are glued to both Karthi and Nagarjuna because they are an interesting combo on screen. Starting from Karthi, he has a role that fulfills his acting prowess perfectly. After Paruthiveeran, this is his complete role as an actor. He has an extraordinary sense of humor and an amazing careless attitude that connects us with his character. His emotional scenes are one of the pillars of strength in this feel-good drama. On the other side, we have the versatile Nagarjuna essays a really tough role. Sitting in a wheel-chair for the whole film is unimaginably a big challenge for an actor and Nagarjuna did it with justice. He plays the role effortlessly and he is a delight to watch on screen. We have Tamannaah, Prakash Raj, Vivek, and many more supporting actors who are helping the film to be more colorful. Gopi Sunder's musical score is another strength of the film. His songs are beautiful and his background score adds so much intensity to the scenes. Vamshi's filmmaking is the major factor that helps us get along with the film. His dialogues are significantly heart-touching and his screenplay doesn't bring down the pace at any time. Overall, Thozha is a brilliant feel-good film.

Oopiri it's a rare film with a different story which we see in Telugu film industry. Hats off to King Nagarjuna and Karthi for their performances and especially the director for picking Nag and Karthi for the lead roles.

It's a feel good movie, with loads of fun n comedy in Karthi style with Prakash Raj,Tamanna. Nagarjuna did a daring role where his role is to stick to a chair, he was apt for this role and Tamanna is gorgeous and her own voice is good. Vamsi paidipally directed the movie so well and cinematography was so good. It's a must watch and one will regret if they miss out to watch it in Silver screen.
