Before starting to write, let me clarify one very important thing i.e., this piece is not a review and its just my opinion on movie.
Because, just gone through some meanings in dictionary for review and it says "critical evaluation". Im not an actor, director, music director or some other technical guy, then how can i evaluate all these departments of a movie. How can an illiterate evaluate a 10th class student's answer sheet. I thought its not fair.
Concept/Subject/Theme : 10 out of 10. Subject matter is very good and lot of points are emphasised on burning issues in India or atleast in AP. Its so true what sekhar kammula mentioned in an interview that source of this movie was what our telugu news channels were showing from last 8-10 months. And i somehow felt like RGV can make 3 films out of this subject(LEADER -1,2&3).
Acting : RANA has done his job very well and cant expect more of him in his very first film. Two heroines were not upto mark even though i liked priya's character(comes in 1st half and disappears in 2nd half). Her character was more of bubbly, funny and energetic type. All other characters were very good and made justice to their roles.
Some dialogues were very good but were not catchy and cannot be remembered for long.
Direction : I thought sekhar kammula was not appropriate to handle such a subject in an effective way though he tried his best. I dont know much technical aspects in direction and screenplay. He just wasnt able to create an impression on audience about what all he wanted to stress on. shankar or rgv are best in making such an impact through films.
Songs & BGM :: Mickey J Meyer was very good. Though songs were nice and simple(except udaybhanu's terrible and unwanted item song), its the Background score that stands out. Most of the time BGM holds interest of audience when there are no dialogues.
OVERALL : Movie was average and one will not be bored on watching it at the same time one cannot get entertained as well. These kind of films will only succeed if they are able to create an impact on audience or make them think for a while. But not the case with LEADER. I recommend watching it only if you have time or interest to know or care about our political system.

ReplyDeleterv::thing is most of good [below 10%]review writers are not technical guys..they project their view on cinema in their reviews.so writing a review or your openion about a movie write confidently whats in your mind.
i watched leader friday..it has so many good scenes like how arjun manipulate mla's,how arjun treats a senior most mla[gollapudi],the scene commen man rejects arjun's favour and said "bus lo velthaamayya akkadaithe naluguru untaaru"fentastic and sensible. only sekhar can deal this kind of scenes..but overall what he conveys to the audience is ?
i think he conveys the message to y.s jagan r some other political leader's sons..be a leader dont live like a politician.
keep writing:)
