Simha Movie Review
Simha - A jumbo pack for both fans and the mass audiences
IndiaGlitz [Friday, April 30, 2010]
If it were to be summed up in one line, ‘Simha’ is an out-and-out mass entertainer that will surely be a bonanza for fans. Add another line, this film is full of good performances by just about everyone. Credit must be given to director Boyapati Sreenu for making hits out of all his three films – first it was ‘Bhadra’ with Ravi Teja and then it was ‘Thulasi’ with Venkatesh. And now ‘Simha’ with Balakrishna. Interestingly, this film will certainly go down in history books as our Balayya babu’s most subdued and mature performance. His body language is very very different when compared to his other films. Earlier, if we were forced to hear 120 or 180-second long dialogues, Sreenu has made Balakrishna talk just one or two words in conveying the message. It is as if people were seeing an entirely new Balakrishna. His performance is power-packed in both his roles as the father and son.
Of course the excessive violence makes one wonder if all that blood that cinematographer Arthur Wilson shows, especially in the second half, is necessary at all. Of course, they are never shown together. The junior figures in the first half, with the second half showing the senior.
As for the story, it is simply a son taking revenge for his father’s killing by doing to death the villain at the same location, about 30 years later. The first half has Sneha Ullal as junior Balakrishna’s love interest, with the second half showing Nayanatara as the senior’s wife.
But then, needless to say, the average Telugu film fan wants to see loads of glamour and enough fights too. Probably that is how they escape the harsh realities of life out of tinseltown. If the glamour of a very, very well-endowed Namitha was showcased very well for the front-benchers, Ram & Laxman have excelled too, in composing the fights.
Director Sreenu has excelled himself with the story, screenplay and dialogues too. In one scene during the second half, the senior Balakrishna asks the SP as to what the police were doing when the villains killed 300 males in a village.
Add this to the over 100 people whom the senior Balakrishna virtually hacks and spears to death and we have at least 400 people getting killed in the entire movie, all in the second half only. The first half has junior Balakrishna as a college lecturer beating up the villains by the dozens just by using his fists and legs.
That is the degree of violence. While the first is rather OK, the second half, actually the bloodshed in every other scene will be hard to digest for the faint at heart. Right, now lets talk about the comedy.
Interestingly, even in such a violent film, Sreenu has infused a lot of comedy with Krishna Bhagawan, Brahmanandam and Venu Madhav dishing out good performances. Jhansi did pretty well with Srikakulam accent and plays Brahmanandam’s love interest. After a long time, K.R. Vijaya plays a sizeable role as the grandmother.
Nayanatara, as the wife of senior Balakrishna needs special mention. She looks much slimmer than before but what is actually refreshing is that she does not use those atrociously-coloured eye-shadows that she did in her earlier films.
Chakri’s music good in most of the songs. The not-so-subtle bass at the background of every important scene in the film is quite telling and adds value to the screenplay. Kudos to Chinna for it. Producer Paruchuri Kiriti has spared no expense for the film and it is very, very evident.
In all, a total ‘paisa vasool’ film for the masses and specially the fans. And coming as it did, during the summer holidays, it is bound to do well. If it is a hat-trick for director Boyapati Sreenu, it will surely be the 4th super-duper hit for Balakrishna. They include ‘Samarasimha Reddy’ in 1999, Narasimha Naidu in 2001 and Lakshmi Narasimha in the year 2004.
Interestingly, the word ‘Simha’ in the titles of all the four films seems to be lucky for Balakrishna ! It is very clear that Boyapati Sreenu has smoothly slipped in to the list of top directors with his third consecutive hit. However, it remains to be seen as to how many records 'Simha' will break.
Released on : 30th April, 2010

Click on read more for review.
Performances :
Balakrishna :
Balakrishna has his signature on some roles. He is highly explosive in those roles. He did excellent job in Simha. His body language is perfect.His dressing is good,he looked good as Dr Narasimha. Srimannarayana is neat as well. He carried both the roles with lot of ease but his signature role is Dr Narasimha and he proved he is yet again the best in the business.
Nayanathara : She looked very pretty, though she did not have a big footage she did fabulous job in two episodes.
Sneha Ullal : She is not a right choice, she looked just good, but her acting can be lot better.
Namitha : She is able to fill the screen with lot of ease.
Rest all performances are good.
Technical departments :
Music : SONGS gurinchi already maatlaadukunnam.On screen 3 songs baavunnayi. My pick is bangaru konda followed by simhamanti chinnode and then temple song
Background Music : nagarjuna's DON tho lime light loki vachina Chinna, ee movie ki splendid work chesaadu. Its noisy in some places,but that is ignorable. He did elevated lot of scenes with his BGM.
Cinematography : Cinematography is terrific. SOme frames and lighting schemes were good.
Editing : Good to see veteran Koragiri updated himseld. He did neat job, but on few places he should have taken more care about length.
Story-screenplay-dialogs and direction :
Story ni chaala neat ga raasukunnaru, and daani chuttu allina scenes kuda baavunnayi. Firts half lo okati rendu scenes avasarama? anipinchina second half lo padina scenes tho compensate ayipothundi. Screenplay and songs placement excellent ga undi. But Janaki janki placement could have been with more care.
I must say dialogs are fabulous. He did excelled in this departments. If I have to write my favorite dialogs that would be another blog post. Direction is very good.Desperate ga wait chetshunna Nandamuri fans ni disappoint cheyyakoodadu anna excitement baaga kanipinchindi.Kaani aa excitement lo kuda over scenes emi lekunda intelligent ga deal chesaadu boyapati.Dialogs lo konni aithe only for fans ani fix ayipoyi raasaadu. Ee movie tho top director league loki vellipothaadu boypaati.
Overall ga this is the film NBK fans are waiting for years.This film got everything except for some violence,but that's fine gandhigiri tho cinemaalu chesthe janam choose rojulu poyaayi. This film will lure the hungry masses in a big way, coz its their film. It will farewell in B n C centers in coming weeks.If u like high voltage action movies with 10 fights in it, with no second thoughts go for it. |

NBK celebrates Simha success with CBN
As six long years later, he heard the news of “success” on the first day itself, Balakrishna celebrated the happy moment with much fanfare. On Friday evening, former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party president Chandrababu Naidu congratulated Balakrishna on the success of 'Simha' and also cut a cake celebrating the success. Director Boyapati Srinu, producer Parachuri Prasad, and others were present. Balayya is in jubilant mood. Speaking to reporters he said, he is happy with the response for the film. “Reports from all over the state are so encouraging. Our fans are enjoying the success more than us,” he said

Balakrishna's Simha took a flying start on Friday and the film's hit talk has spread fast. So by evening, producer Dil Raju made an urgent announcement that his film, Rama Rama Krishna Krishna is postponed to May 12th. The film was supposed to hit the screens on May 7th and Dil Raju even officially announced that date two days ago. But on Friday evening, he announced that D.I work is taking time, so they have decided to postpone it to May 12th. Insiders say, Di l Raju, who is now going through rough patch, doesn't want to compete with Balakrishna's Simha which has got positive talk.
