‘Simha’ Review: Just For Fans
Film: Simha
Rating: 2.75/5
Banner: United Movies
Cast: Nandamuri Balakrishna, Nayantara, Sneha Ullal, Namitha, K R Vijaya, Saikumar (Malayalam), Hemanth, Rehman, Kota, Brahmi, Ali, Venu Madhav, Dharmavarapu, L B Sriram, Krishna Bhagawan, Jhansi and others
Music: Chakri
Cinematography: Arthur Wilson
Editing: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao
Story, dialogues, screenplay, direction: Boyapati Sreenu
Producer: Paruchuri Kireeti
Release date: 30/04/2010
Yuvaratna is back and this time he has come up with a rather high voltage treat. How strong he has been and how the audience has received him this time, let us see.
Story:
Sriman Narayana (NBK) is a lecturer at a college and he is known for his strict way, he doesn’t stand injustice and bashes the bulbs out of anyone. In this process, he meets Janaki (Sneha) and she falls for him in due course. But Janaki has got a flashback which has to do with Sriman Narayana as well. What is that flashback? Who is Sriman Narayana? All this forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Balakrishna has come back to his original form with his punch dialogues, typical body language and mass appeal. However, age is showing on him and voice has stuttered a bit, overall he carried his bit well with his blissful smile.
Sneha Ullal is sweet but her blank expressions still continue. She must learn to open her mouth and speak while saying the dialogues. Looks wise she rocks.
Nayantara looks elegant and is all decked up like a bride at all times. Her role was brief but she did justice to it.
Namitha covers half of the screen and seems to be building up pounds with each passing film. It is about time she does something about her flab.
K R Vijaya has come back after a hiatus of sorts but she still has that composure and grace, she was the apt choice for her role.
Sai Kumar (Malayalam) was okay, Aditya Menon was apt, he has strong screen presence, Brahmi was wasted, Ali was not used, Krishna Bhagawan was barely there, Venu brought few forced smiles, Rehman was standard, LB was regular, Kota was nice, Jeevi, Kinnera, Shravan, Anand Bharathi, Sana and others did their bit to add value.
Plus Points:
Music and songs
Background score
Minus Points:
Weak Comedy tracks
Old story line
Analysis:
After a long gap, it’s a relief for Balakrishna’s fans. The movie scores good this time. But there is no freshness in story line or narration part. It’s the same old cutting heads with axe and there is some change in the design of weapon. The climax sequence is lifted from Magadheera with the fight scene in the same old place where the protagonist’s father fights and dies.
The dialogues of Balayya brought good response in theatres:
Nenu maatladetappudu nee chevule pani cheyyali. Adi tappa vere edainaa pani cheste neeku next birth day undadhu.
Charitra srushtinchalanna, tiraga raayalanna maa vamsame cheyyaali
Although they aren’t great dialogues to underline, the fans those awaited an action packed movie from many years are taking them as holy sentences.
In a fight scene Balayya’s punch of the fist lands on the face of a patient who lies in coma for 28 years. The patient gets up instantly. Doctors get stunned and exclaim, “Wow! What a wonder. Science andani power itani punch lo undi”. Thank god! The director limited the exaggeration with one scene. Otherwise, it would have become another omnibus of exaggerations.
Songs scored good marks on a whole.
‘Simha Simha…’ was shot on Namita and Balakrishna and it’s visually just ok.
‘Orabba..’ is the number shot in a pub with Balayya, Namitha and Sneha Ullal. When Sneha Ullal was seen in a frame with Namitha, she looked like a scooty beside lorry.
‘Bangaru Konda..’ has captivated with rich costumes on Nayantara and Balayya.
‘Kanulara..’ is on Nayan, Balayya and family members in temple background which is good to watch
‘Janaki Janaki..’ is with Balayya and Sneha Ullal and that’s good to watch.
The song ‘Achcha hai acha hai…’ is missing totally.
First half is average with no exciting moments and the second half is packed with high dose action-, although predictable. On a whole, it’s a treat for fans, headache for family audiences and a disappointment for those who wish to watch something new and fresh.
Bottom Line: Better than Balayya's recent movies. |

Simha isn't novel or extraordinary. Still, surprisingly, even though Dr. Narasimha in this one blurts "anti-arithmetic" once, it doesn't hurt you as a movie-watcher. Maybe some things are indeed better left unchanged.

Simha celebrates brand Balakrishna. It thus also celebrates the brand that he in turn celebrates - his vamsam, his netturu, the works.
It speaks about the vanquishing of evil; heck its plot is chopping limbs, breaking bones and defying gravity. It is the kind of movie outing that'd make even the plainest of women feel overdressed for the occasion. Actually the kind of movie outing where women are just not welcome.
And first of all, it is a movie outing.
Indeed, some things never change. Where Telugu cinema is concerned, some things aren't allowed to.
Simha is almost a loud assertion of that fact. Sure, Balayya now won't canoodle with navels as much as he did earlier, and reversing a train's motion purely by intent seems laughable now, but it is - gasp- refreshing to see the cinematic tradition of The Hero being kept alive with such grandeur.
The downside is that the cinematic tradition of the medical marvel, consisting of a man with multiple stab-injuries passionately finishing off a 100 goons in one shot, is also being kept alive. But that's an aside we'll forgive.
So Srimannarayana (Balakrishna) is this He-Man professor who protects students in his college from evil forces all around and within. His grandmother fears for his life and keeps asking him to stay out of trouble. He doesn't, of course, and things start spinning out of control when he has to protect a student Janaki (Sneha Ullal) from several oily crooks.
Next up is a flashback that everyone shares. Narasimha (Balakrishna again), Srimannarayana's father, was a doctor of royal lineage. He served the people of his town not just by means of his personal palace-turned-hospital, but by warding off the local set of villains who see peace only in evil. Needless to say, he was revered by the populace - or whatever survived of it - there. Srimannarayana, then, has to finish whatever and whoever his father wasn't able to.
The movie starts off, unfortunately, being desperately bouncy. Where the hero must show off his dance steps; or back off from the oversexed English teacher (Namitha) drooling over him; or fall for an unacceptably younger girl (Sneha Ullal) - it all smacks of retro.
Maybe that doubles the impact of his avatar in the second half, but the senior Balayya seems much more in tune with what people do want to watch. He's a saviour still, but a lot dignified and stately.
And the dialogues work exactly like they must in big-budget productions like these. The lines are well-timed, powerful and sharply delivered. Wanting to pander to the audiences is one thing, but when the audiences too want to pander to your every superstar whim and cheer on, it does make for a potent combination.
Like we said, Simha has gore - plenty of it - and the story is almost punctuation. The characters are black and white, and the direction is almost laugh-out-loud campy in several places. Such violence is almost outdated now, but the way the flick brings it all together is pretty impressive and exactly what the targeted fan base is looking for.
Performances aren't a problem here. The first half sees Balakrishna seem jaded and quite detached from the proceedings, but the second half is where he snaps out of it and delivers. As for the women, they're all wallpaper. No one makes an impact except for Nayantara, who emerges out of the whole deal looking graceful and putting up an expressive job. Namitha - as a character - is irrelevant, and Sneha Ullal does not act.
Kota has some biting villain lines, and Brahmanandam, Krishna Bhagawan, Ali and Jhansi contribute to an entertaining comedy track.
Well-shot though the movie is, the violence is likely to overshadow your memory of the visuals. The music is pretty banal, and most of the songs are jarring and far from catchy.
Simha isn't novel or extraordinary. Still, surprisingly, even though Dr. Narasimha in this one blurts "anti-arithmetic" once, it doesn't hurt you as a movie-watcher. Maybe some things are indeed better left unchanged. |
